D’Vash had a look that seemed overly possessive in Pretha’s mind. Figuring stress and not seeing him personally in a few days was making her imagine things, she smiled a thanks to the Doc as he stepped up. “Yes, sir. Sorry for the inconveniences. We’re doing worse case scenario drills.” Hey voice was calm and collected like she was prepared to answer the question. “I’m this case the CO was compromised and I was ranking officer on the bridge. The XO’s unknown location or physical status meant I became the temporary Captain.”

Nodding to Harding’s request to the scan she added without missing a beat, “And the doctor’s scans will upload immediately so personnel and computers recognize you and you don’t set off undue alarms.” She smiled at him as if explaining a game of game of chess he’d offered to play with her.

She needed to find the Captain or get to the ship’s computers to confirm the new Captain’s arrival. As CoS she always good a list of folks coming and going. And once again, she was glad she wasn’t a science officer.

“I hope there is a good explanation for this. My reports didn’t specify that there was anything wrong with the Olympic. It also didn’t say what happened to the last Commanding officer.” Hamilcar stated, turning his attention back to Pretha.

“There are other things I need to attend to, to finish this. . .drill, ” the XO said. “Captain, Doctor, Com–Lt. Oberon.” Abruptly, he made for the ready room door. . .

Pretha realized her wording and took a step towards the Captain. “Sir… The simulation…I mean… It’s not real, of course.”

But as she stepped up, the XO moved to excuse himself. She would have let it go but the rank he gave her name set of a small bell. “Excuse me, Sir,” she said to the Captain and moved towards D’Vash. Her face all smiles again as if he were the only one in the room.

“D’Vash… Is everything ok? When you left here with NE Marin to take him to suck bay I thought you’d stay with him. Is he ok?” She hoped Harding would get what she was doing. She desperately wanted this to be her D’Vash. But if it was… Where was Sathut? And if it wasn’t, he needed following.

Her head was starting to hurt.

“Yes, I said EVERYTHING was good. Did I not make myself clear? Marin is fine, the ship is fine, the situation is fine.” D’vash replied in a very curt manner.

Collin’s scan of the Captain’s blood took only moments and he was pleased to be able to clear the man. It made sense. If the mirror universe were duplicating the crew of the Olympic, this new arrival was unlikely to have been on their radar. Only when his attention was removed from his work did he notice Oberon’s concern. They’d served together long enough for Collin to recognize the shift in her posture and tone and he silently cursed himself. The arrival of the new CO had unintentionally allowed for both his and Pretha’s attention and suspicion to be drawn in one direction, and away from another.

“The Captain’s scan clears him for duty,” he called over to the COS and XO. “Commander, I think it best we transfer computer commands before we finish any…drills.”

Collin moved to close the space between him and the XO.

Harding, CMO

The XO hesitated by the door at Harding’s comment. “That won’t be necessary. He’s not going to have a ship to command.”

D’vash turned quickly and drew the phaser from his hip and pointed it at the advancing doctor. “Not another step, Harding. We’ve worked too hard to take control of this ship to let it all go to waste, because of the unexpected arrival of a new captain. I don’t know how that happened. Your command should have never been made aware of Thorne’s . . . exit.”

Pretha wasn’t thinking when she stepped in front of D’Vash, to block his shot at the Doctor. “I knew you weren’t the D’Vash I knew. He’s never kissed me like that before.” The look in her eyes was that of fire and desire. “Is that what it’s like to be desired? Or was it merely a ploy?” She reached up to run a finger lightly over her still tingling lips. The look she gave the doppleganger was raw and open with need. “Perhaps I like your universe better, if this is how you treat ‘your’ Pretha…”

She took half a step forward, her other hand at her side so as to not startle him. She wanted his attention more than anything. Beyond that, she had no idea. She just couldn’t let anyone get shot. His comment about her CO was already forgotten as she hoped her lack of confidence in herself, which D’Vash always tried to cure her of, wasn’t an obstacle.
