Mission: Oubliette, Day 2
Stardate: 2406.04.19

(Shuttle, Mirror-Universe - Operations - Sevant - 1330)

Sevant cursed as the alarms on the ship were going full blast. They
couldn't survive for very long in the open like this, he mentally gave
Sash two more minutes before he blasted out of the shuttlebay. Falthgood
was beside him, in none too good of shape, but he was carrying on grimly
as Sevant called out the checklist.

"Bring up defensive systems, power up all weapons." Sevant said as he
looked above him and punched a couple of hard-wired buttons to backup
systems.

Falthgood's hands flew over the board, "Weapons and shields charged,
backup cells are charging, forty percent and rising."

Behind him, without warning, sounds of phaser fire reached his ears.
Sevant didn't bother to turn, but he did turn on all navigational
systems. Something thumped onto the deck behind him, followed quickly by
"We need to get out of here and now. Head for the anomaly. I don't
know how much longer it's going to be there."

Falthgood quickly stood and moved out of the way, Sash was in far better
shape and could co-pilot all the better. Truth be told, he should
probably have been the pilot, but they didn't have the time to switch
positions. "Weapons." he grunted as he tapped the thrusters and brought
the shuttle up. He over-rode the doors and force field, and quickly made
way to escape while Sash started strafing the shuttle-bay. He hit
something volatile, because flame burst behind them.

Seconds later, however, they were out. Sevant wasted no time, and kicked
the impulse engines to full. The Inertial Dampeners screamed, but they
were only pressed into their seats for a couple seconds as Sevant threw
the rear of the shuttle around in a sharp turn, and made strait for the
anomaly. Sash called out, "They are targeting us, Evasive Maneuvers."

Sevant threw the shuttle around again in a corkscrew maneuver, that kept
them moving in the direction he wanted but made them harder to hit.
"Thirty seconds to target." he barked.

Several phaser shots rang out, but only one hit the shuttle a glancing
blow. Sevant kept his fingers on the controls, and only straitened them
out when they were mere seconds from the anomaly.

"Contact..."

(Shuttlecraft - Outside the Nimitz - Sevant- 1550)

Sevant grit his teeth as he turned the shuttle again, trying to keep it
as close to a sensor-blind area on the Sovereign as possible. He knew
the tactical systems of the Nimitz better then almost anyone, but he
couldn't hide them for very long.

"if they've locked out all voice commands except for themselves,
obviously the computer recognizes his voice as yours. It should
recognize your voice for his. If you order the computer to reinitialize
all command functions, then they should be able to at least regain
access to the bridge. The only problem there being now, is the Vanyssa
Winters from the other side. She has to be put out of commission."

Sevant nodded vaguely. "Ill have to lock myself out again, once I'm
done, though. If I don't, the other one could immediately order control
back."

Winters ended a conversation with various telepaths on the ship, and
came forward. She had given them a general running idea of what was
going on, but most of it seemed to hinge on Sevant and his voice
control. "Sash, you have the Conn." He grabbed a phaser from under the
panel, and put it on a kill setting. Without another word he stood, and
walked with purpose to the rear of the shuttle where a small emergency
transporter was in operation. He tapped a couple commands into the
console, and put it on voice-controlled delay. "Computer, uplink with
the Nimitz's computer, authorization Sevant-Alpha-Seven-Omega."

He waited several seconds, which is longer then it should have taken.
Just when he was going to repeat his command, the computer said [uplink
complete]

Sevant blew a breath, that was good, at least. "Computer, reinstate all
computer authorizations for Officers and Crew."

[Reinstated]

"Computer, remove myself from all voice and computer control, effective
immediately."

[Authorization Required]

"Sevant Alpha Seven Omega!"

Several more seconds passed, [Commander Sevant has been removed from
voice and computer control]

He looked to the rest of the people on the shuttle, "Someone contact Lee
and tell me when my double is down and the gas is cleared.!"

Mission: Beyond the Looking Glass
Day 1
Stardate: 2406.04.19

(Alter-Nimitz - Shuttle bay 1- Counsellor Vanyssa Winters- 1338)

Vanyssa stood in the shuttle bay door and fired at the pursuers of
Sash. When he was aboard, Nishi hit the button, slamming the door, and
Sevant took off. Falthgood was muttering something about forcefields,
and somehow they all made it out of the ship.

~That was the most extraordinary piece of luck I've ever seen~

Vanyssa felt the shuttle rock as they raced toward the wormhole. She
looked up into Sash's eyes, wondering if they were going to make it.

"Evasive maneuvers" Someone said, and Vanyssa buckled herself in. She
wasn't much use during a firefight...at least ones that involved ships.
Suddenly the firefight stopped and Vanyssa turned to look out the
window, and she could seethe power building up, almost visibly, like
lightning shooting around the hull, and the alter-Nimitz exploded,
right as the shuttle was sucked into the anomaly and spit out the other
side. The anomaly collapsed in on itself, and then the shuttle lights
died.

(Our universe, 1545)

Vanyssa looked up and saw Sash's grinning face. She looked out the
window at the real Nimitz, her home. ~Kestra?~ Vanyssa projected.
~Kestra, can you hear me?~ She asked again, wondering if Kestra could
hear her as the shuttle lights came back on and someone said that they
should find a hiding place until they knew what the real situation was
on the Nimitz.

"I'm going to contact Kestra and find out what is going on." Vanyssa
spoke quietly. "Fickett, can you check us over and keep us working long
enough to get us to sickbay?"

(reply Kestra, Fickett)

Vanyssa saw out of the corner of her eyes that Fickett was checking
people over. While listening to Kestra with one part of her mind,
Vanyssa scooted closer to Nishi. "Are you ok?" She asked quietly,
putting a hand sympathetically on his knee.

(reply Nishi)

Vanyssa finished hearing what Kestra had to say, then went forward to
relate it to the others. "I don't know what to do." She finished,
looking at both Sevant and Sash. "I'm a little out of my depth for my
first command." She finished, trying to make it a joke and failing
miserably.

(USS Nimitz - Near Marine Staging area - 1st Lt Richard Ian Lee - 1458)

"Don't shoot!!! I'm unarmed!!" She screamed waving her arms above her
head. "Lt. Zzt sent me! The ships been taken over! A mutiny!"

Rich spat a curse, "Out with it!" he said, as he pulled his scatter-gun
up to a neutral position.

"Zzt ripped the doors to engineering open and sent us to sabotage
certain ship systems while he went to the computer core to try to
override the lock out. Remind me never to make him mad. He thinks
Sevant has killed the Captain. I think he plans on killing Sevant if he
gets the chance. I've never seen him so angry."

"Great, that goes along with our plans of general mayhem wonderfully."
Lee said. He was getting anxious, they needed to get moving.

"Oh! We got anther problem as well, sir. We were in the middle
of a delicate re-calibration of the warp drive when we lost computer
control, if we don't regain computer control in 40 minuets or so the
ship will explode from an engine overload."

Rich sighed, "Then we can't waste more time here, To Engineering!" he
said, as he passed the woman and headed for the Jefferies tube.

(reply: Sue, if desired)

(USS Nimitz - Jefferies tube, Deck 16, Engineering - 1515)

Rich looked at the officer they had just ran into, "I don't suppose you
have a reason for being here?" he asked Onyx, who he recognized quiet
well. "And make it quick."

(reply: Onyx)

Rich grunted, then looked at the Jefferies tube exit into engineering.
The rest of the Marines were spread out to other Jefferies exits, so
they could all swarm in at once. It was something they had practiced and
perfected, after the Romulan invasion. They had lost dozens to the
assault on Engineering then, it was something he had hoped to avoid
again if possible. The only point on their side, was there weren't
nearly as many invaders this time, just a small handful.

But few knew better what just a handful of people could do to a ship.

The only real communication that hadn't been disrupted had been the
Marine frequencies, and that was only because the main Computer didn't
control them. Inter-BDU communications remained unaffected. Therefore,
Lee was able to coordinate.

"All teams, report when ready."

For the next thirty seconds, various teams reported that they were in
position. Rich looked up at the non-Marines around him, and said "Keep
your heads down for a minute or so, then make way in. We have a serious
problem in here, and I'm not much of an engineer." He gave a significant
glance to Ops when he said that, by definition she knew more about
engineering then he probably ever would.

(reply: any)

Rich gave a mental count, then said "GO!"

He kicked the access panel to the tube, and jumped out immediately with
his phaser up. He jumped forward, and knelt down behind a panel as he
scanned the room. Behind him, a few other Marines were jumping out and
finding their own cover. This defiantly wasn't a Romulan invasion, but
there was more to it then exorcize. Off to one side, a lot of engineers
were lined up with their hands up. Keeping them in line was a man in
Science blue, who stood well over seven feet tall. There were only a
handful of humans on the ship that size, Lee was one... Falthgood was
another.

Falthgood, or whoever he really was, appeared to be in a panic as
Marines started to pour out of various places into engineering. That was
good, and bad. A Panicked man could (and often would) do strange things.

So Rich wasted no time as he dropped his scatter gun, and pulled his
sidearm. He didn't even bother to check the setting as he brought it up,
and took quick aim.

Half a second later he pulled the trigger, twice. One of the shots
missed, just as Falthgood was turning. The other hit him dead in his
weapon arm. The phaser he had been holding dropped, and Falthgood
himself fell face first. With a dark chuckle, Rich walked up to the
fallen officer as the rest of engineering was secured. "You are under
arrest," he told the unconscious Falthgood, "Move an inch, and Ill
finish the job."

(USS Nimitz - Jefferies tube, deck 16 engineering - OPS/CONN - 1515)

Onyx step inside the Jefferies tubes and made her way to the junction that would make her meet the marines. She quickly slide each level, assuring that she would meet no one. She continued until she reach the level she step away from the bottom hatch knowing that they would come up that way or at least a group of them. Then she decided to open the hatch hearing someone coming. On time they arrived.

Rich looked at the officer they had just ran into, "I don't suppose you have a reason for being here?" he asked Onyx, who he recognized quiet well. "And make it quick."

"It's you that I should ask, you took long enough to arrive here. I'm here to help you out in engineering, there is something wrong and we have to figure out things. So will you burst into engineering or will I have to do that myself 1st Lt Lee. Don't panic now, I spend 6 month in a Klingon war ship, I can handle myself."

The marine grunted, she just push herself aside to let them get through first and would bring back the rear. Once inside, it was an entire other business and it went fast. Onyx checked the information coming through the consoles, she didn't like this one bit. She saw Falthgood and Lee facing one another. She walk up to them has they face one another.

"You are under arrest," he told the unconscious Falthgood, "Move an inch, and Ill finish the job."

"Don't kill him!" Onyx took her phaser and pointed to Falthgood, she was very tempted to shoot him dead but for now she couldn't. "Do you know what is going on here?"

(Reply from Falthgood)

"I don't know how is my double on your side, but you didn't see who I am. Lee, this ship will blow in less then 30 minutes, from what I saw we can only take control of the ship from the bridge. Who ever managed to rig it that only one of the bridge could shot this down, it manage to take the controls off Sevants and Winters, the 2 others left."

(Reply from Lee, Falthgood)

"The Dear doctor is indisposed for the moment. I need something from you Falthgood."

(Reply from Falthgood)

"Shut up would be one of them. I have a plan and I will need you and your men... but first." Onyx aimed her weapon to Falthgood and fired. "Tie him up and put him in the utility closet, lock it up nice. Like I said I have an idea... are you ready to hear it."

Stardate: 2406.04.19

(USS Nimitz, Computer Core, Lt(sg) Zzt, 15:17)

Zzt had data cables strewn back and forth across the room from wall
to wall and floor to ceiling, tools were scattered across the floor. In
this maze of cable and tools, Zzt worked frantically. His full attention
on his work, trying to override the computer lock out.

Laying on his back on the floor, his head stuck in one of the many
open consoles, Zzt didn't hear or smell Stolev's approach from one of the
jeffries tubes, and in his haste, Zzt had completely forgotten all about
them, being too large to fit into them himself.

"Zzt! It's me, Stolev!"

Zzt panicked at the sound of someone else in the room. Moving with
surprising speed he lurched out from the console firing his phaser in the
direction of the voice, before the words even had time to register. Zzt
stopped firing suddenly as the words finally sunk in. ~Stolev!~ Zzt
cocked his head in confusion, looking at the jeffries tube hatch. He
sniffed the air, his ears perked forward.

"Stinky breath?" Zzt asked, perplexed. He rose to his paws, his
eyes never leaving the hatch. "That you Stinky Breath?"

(Reply Stolev)

Zzt moved slowly over to the access hatch and glanced up the tube,
phaser at the ready.

"It IS you!! Stinky Breath!!" Zzt exclaimed in excitement.
Reaching a large paw up into the jeffries tube, Zzt helped/dragged Stolev
out of the jeffries tube and scooped him into a firm hug followed by
several licks. "Zzt glad see you! Think you all dead like Captain!" Zzt
licked Stolev some more. "Killed by traitors vulcan, Sevant!"

(Reply Stolev)

At the mention of Sevant's name, Zzt's attitude changed. A
disturbing thought just now entering his mind. Holding Stolev by the
collar of his uniform, Zzt held him out at arms length completely off the
floor.

"You not work for Vulcan do you?" Zzt asked threateningly, his
phaser in his other paw coming back up to point at Stolev. "Sevant kill
Captain. Zzt kill Sevant. You not stop Zzt. Zzt avenge Clan Mother."

(reply Stolev)

Zzt put Stolev down, released him, and handed him one of his
phasers.

"Good, you help Zzt. You keep watch while Zzt work," Zzt said,
moving back over to the console he'd been working on. "Zzt need just
little longer."

(Reply Stolev, Any)

(USS Nimitz - Main Engineering - 1st Lt Richard Ian Lee - 1517)

"You are under arrest," he told Falthgood, "Move an inch, and Ill finish
the job."

"Don't kill him!" Onyx took her phaser and pointed to Falthgood, she
was very tempted to shoot him dead but for now she couldn't. "Do you
know what is going on here?"

Falthgood grunted as he came around from the phaser hit, his adrenaline
had already been pumping, it hadn't taken much to break out of the
stun-induced unconsciousness. He turned his head, "Go to hell, dirty
twinner." he replied.

That wasn't an answer, not as far as Lee was concerned. With a growl he
hauled back and gave Falthgood a full kick, with the power of the BDU
behind it. Falthgood screamed in pain as he was lifted from the deck and
flung a good ten feet. He landed flat out, but immediately started
curling in a ball. In some detached part of his mind, Lee noted that he
had probably broken several of Falthgood's ribs. That thought didn't
bother him, however, as he walked over to Falthgood and knelt. He
grabbed the neck of the bigger man, and ignored the pounding Falthgood
gave on Lee's armored arm as he squeezed. "Answer." Rich said, deadly
quiet.

Zach's eyes started to bulge as he began to panic, He gasped for breath
and said "We're taking over your ship you bloody idiot, what does it..."

Rich squeezed again. "Who are you?"

He relaxed his grip -slightly- so that Falthgood could answer, yet even
so the Scientist was obviously struggling for enough breath to speak.
Lee wondered if he would pass out before he could be pumped for all the
information they needed. Falthgood sucked in another breath, and said
"Mirror... univi... verse..."

The Marine took a breath, then released the prisoneer. However, without
any other warning, He pulled back and then shoved his arm forward. The
result was a punch with -UMPH- behind it, strait into Falthgood's side,
which sent the scientists into even more spasms of pain. Rich stood as
the Operations officer spoke again, "I don't know how is my double on
your side, but you didn't see who I am. Lee, this ship will blow in
less then 30 minutes, from what I saw we can only take control of the
ship from the bridge. Who ever managed to rig it that only one of the
bridge could shot this down, it manage to take the controls off Sevant's
and Winters, the 2 others left."

"Do what you can." Rich said glumly.

"The Dear doctor is indisposed for the moment. I need something from
you Falthgood."

Falthgood sucked in a painful breath, "Go to hell!" he finally managed
to screech.

"Shut up would be one of them. I have a plan and I will need you and
your men... but first."

The Operations officer fired on Falthgood again, and knocked him out
completely.

"Tie him up and put him in the utility closet, lock it up nice. Like I
said I have an idea... are you ready to hear it."

Rich gestured over his shoulder to Falthgood, "See to it," he told a
couple of Marines standing there. They nodded, grabbed hold of him, and
began dragging him off. He took a breath as he watched, then he turned
to Onyx, "Make it quick."

"Do you have gas grenade?"

The Marine nodded. He didn't have one on him, but several of his
personnel did.

"Well, come with me... I can have your men on the bridge. If only
Kestra would be here, she could try to get info from Falthgood."

Rich frowned, then said into his mic, "Suicide Kings to me, everyone
else according to plan, get some of those engineers to the core to hack
it."

=/=Yessir=\=

"Lee, could you have part of your men ready to storm the bridge, and a
few will be transported on the bridge? Do you think that is a good
plan?"

Rich mulled over it as they began walking for the transporter platforms,
"Maybe, will require a quick plan though. And you will have to overcome
most of the transporter lockouts, and whatever defenses they have in
place to prevent beaming."

"Ensign Kateb, I'm a telepath also, and I can't sense anything from any
of the away team members. It's almost like they are blocked - which is
a technique that we use on Betazed for those who work closely with
telepaths who can't filter out others, such as children who are born
with their telepathic abilities turned on, or telepaths who go..insane."
Katie finished. "I know the technique to do so, but I
have never done it. If Vanyssa Winters is as sensitive as some of the
insane telepaths that I've worked with, she can and will kill you with a
single thought, and there is nothing that you can do about it. Rushing
the bridge is a bad idea, she will sense you coming before you get
there." Katie blushed and looked Onyx in the eyes. "You are rather
loud."

"Good point," Rich said briefly. "We will have to incapacitate her, at
least, if this is going to work."

"I know, I'm working on the problem." Onyx open various panels, she
knew that the transporter chief wouldn't be happy but something had to
be done. "I have to make it work manually and it's not easy, just get
out of my way. I need 3 gas grenades and also 5 phasers, they are over
here behind this panel."

Rich frowned. "This will probably get most of us killed, not a pleasant
situation."

"You are not happy and I'm not either start getting the coordinance for
the bridge please!"

Rich shook his head, then started bellowing orders."The grenade gas will
be transported first, a couple of seconds before you 3 are." She open
the panel where she could have access to manual energy charging unit.
Took the grenade, set a time and put them on the transporter padd, to
after return quickly to the console. She put 2 phasers, returning in
front she push them to fire and empty themselves and the energy level
was plenty of enough to transport 3 marines and 3 gas grenades. "I give
you 5 minutes and after I come in."

Rich shook his head, "No, not the bridge.. To deadly. Put me just
outside the bridge, but beam in everything else like you said."

The Operations officer suddenly paused, and remained that way for a long
time. Rich cocked his head, but didn't disturb her.

"lets get this damn thing over with now." Kestra said as she walked in.

Rich spun.

"Step into my parlor, I will get you in the ready room in no time.
After, it's you guys so get ready... I don't want to waist any time
here."

"If the marines fail me, Mister Lee you will answer for it. energize."

"Energizing now... good luck!"

Rich crossed his arms, and waited. The Operations officer continued
fiddling with the panels, apparently there were problems getting things
done to the bridge.

NRPG: This is where the timing of everything starts to get sticky. I'm
trying to put it all together, we will see how well I do. The Way it's
working, Rich has to wait around for a while so that he can be near
Katie in engineering. So they don't go to the bridge right away,
problems with shielding is what I'm going to assume.

RPG:

(USS Nimitz - Transporter Room - 1st Lt Richard Ian Lee - 1552)

"Kestra? My god, it's good to hear from you."

Rich, already anxious because of the time delays and nearly ready to
double-time the squad to the bridge by foot, spun on his heel and looked
around. She shouldn't have even been close to here, Kestra had duties
she was to be completing elsewhere. However, he had lived long enough
with Seton to know telepathic communication when he 'saw' it. He crossed
his arms and scowled.

A few seconds passed, then Katie said, "The marines have a plan to send
gas to the bridge, and then storm it. Actually what would be most
helpful is if you could come up with something to block the rogue
Winters."

Rich pressed his lips together, "Find out where the CEO and TAC/ASC are,
I could use them." he said shortly.

Katie nodded, but didn't say anything as she 'talked' with Kestra.

Lee wants to know where Zzt and Stolev are. We have the rogue Falthgood
locked up in a closet down here in Engineering.::

Kestra sent what Katie said to Vanyssa so she would know and would be
able to plan around it. She then thought why not just keep an open line
so we all can talk together. Kestra connected to both Katie and Vanyssa
becoming the conduit for their communications.

Katie started giving him a rundown on what was being said by the others,
in part anyway. Rich made a mental note about all the psionic personnel
they had to take care of, and that any of them were a danger. He already
knew that, but typically Vulcans were touch telepaths, it seemed as
though they had expanded their combative abilities in the other
universe.

When she mentioned Kestras plans, Rich shook his head vigorously. "That
would be stupid, the bridge is going to be a bloody battleground by the
time we are done, we will be coming in from one place to avoid
crossfire, I don't want to have to worry about a third party blundering
in. Ill shoot her myself if she shows up on the bridge."

Katie relayed the message, probably (hopefully) more diplomatically then
Rich had put it. He continued to wait, as she gave him the rundown. He
snorted when Katie said he was in a bad mood, but said nothing else to
it. He snorted VERY loudly when Kestra told him to be on his best
behavior."

"If that is a threat, Ill take it up with her when this is done. I lived
and nearly married a betazoid, she had perpetual PMS, I can defend my
mind long enough to shoot her full of holes. I'm not particularly
impressed." was his answer.

Rich felt the need to relieve himself, which he did with no ado. There
were times he blessed that the BDU could full support him in an enclosed
environment, without exception.

Finally, the Operations officer said. "Got it, Sevant has gotten
control!"

Rich immediately stepped onto the pad with his men, "Then lets not waste
it, prepare all teams...Engage!"

figured there would be more mental communication going on. Eventually, a
voice rang out behind him. "lets get this damn thing over with now."
Kestra said as she walked in.

"Well, come with me... I can have your men on the bridge. If only
Kestra would be here, she could try to get info from Falthgood." Onyx
moved toward the transporter on this level, of course it was lock out,
she would have to do a manual transport. "Lee, could you have part of
your men ready to storm the bridge, and a few will be transported on
the bridge? Do you think that is a good plan?"

Katie looked at Onyx like she had lost her mind.

"Ensign Kateb, I'm a telepath also, and I can't sense anything from any
of the away team members. It's almost like they are blocked - which is
a technique that we use on Betazed for those who work closely with
telepaths who can't filter out others, such as children who are born
with their telepathic abilities turned on, or telepaths who
go..insane." Katie finished. "I know the technique to do so, but I
have never done it. If Vanyssa Winters is as sensitive as some of the
insane telepaths that I've worked with, she can and will kill you with
a single thought, and there is nothing that you can do about it.
Rushing the bridge is a bad idea, she will sense you coming before you
get there." Katie blushed and looked Onyx in the eyes. "You are rather
loud."

"I know, I'm working on the problem." Onyx open various panels, she knew that the transporter chief wouldn't be happy but something had to be done. "I have to make it work manually and it's not easy, just get out of my way. I need 3 gaz grenades and also 5 phasers, they are over here behind this panel."

(reply from Lee)

"You are not happy and I'm not either start getting the coordonance for the bridge please!" She heard Lee giving his orders and a few marines was still with her and him in the transporter. "The grenade gaz will be transported first, a couple of seconds before you 3 are." She open the panel where she could have access to manual energy charging unit. Took the grenade, set a time and put them on the transporter padd, to after return quickly to the console. She put 2 phasers, returning in front she push them to fire and empty themselves and the energy level was plenty of enough to transport 3 marines and 3 gaz grenades. "I give you 5 minutes and after I come in."

(USS Nimitz - deck 16 engineering transporter room - OPS/CONN Ensign Kateb & ACMO Lt. Troi - 1523)

"I give you 5 minutes and after I come in."

Kestra sat waiting for something to happen then she had a thought. If she went looking for Onyx maybe she could figure out a way to get her closer to the bridge without being noticed. She decided to send Onyx a mental message to see where she was at.

::Onyx where are you? I need to come to you if you are near a transporter.:: Kestra sent.

It took Onyx by surprise hearing a voice in her head, she back a step from the console. ::Kestra?!::

::yes it is me believe it or not:: Kestra sent with a small laugh

::I thought that I was crazy for a moment. I just might be, pure and simple... transporter, I'm with the marines in the Engineering transporter room.::

::I am on my way there, I am by the bridge now so it might take me a few to get there. We have a plan and I need your help.:: Kestra started to the next deck down so she could find the access jeffery tube that would let her slide down to engineering. She spelled out the plan that she, Katie, Vanyssa and the marines have and what her part was.

::You better hurry double time, I don't know what Zzt did but this ship is in trouble and we must wait until the marines have those 2 imposters before stopping it.::

::I am sliding down the jefferies toward engineering, hope to be there in 5 minutes:: Kestra replied

::Just enough time for me to finish up the transporter... for now they didn't spot what I was doing. Just a note, the marines are impatient and Lee is litterally breathing down my neck. If he was a date, I think I would have slapped him.::

::hehe Ask him if he had to piss recently:: Kestra said as she kept trying to not fall as she was sliding down the latter rungs.

::I just gave him an elbow jog because he was in my way... he didn't expect it. I'm nearly finished... there. I will scan the bridge and adjacent room now. Are you close? I'm not use to this.::

::two floors above now::

::Getting some results in... Captain Rivers is in her ready room and she is hurt. I have feint life signs. I can't take her out of there, it's only one way.:: Onyx was suddenly angry but she calm down it wasn't the right time.

::I will do what I can when I get there for her. Will be in engineering in 2 minutes::

::Okay... the marines are ready they are just waiting on us down here. Now Lee is looking at me curiously, I better not pay attention to him, I might get mad.::

::Leave the little stuff to later:: Kestra said with a giggle as she tried to slow her decent down so she did not splat on the bottom.

::We are ready!:: has she said that Kestra arrived in the transporter room. Onyx look at her a bit surprised.

"lets get this damn thing over with now." Kestra said as she walked in.

"Step into my parlor, I will get you in the ready room in no time. After, it's you guys so get ready... I don't want to waist any time here."

Kestra walked over to where Onyx pointed to and waited for her to beam her to the ready room. "If the marines fail me, Mister Lee you will answer for it. energise."

"Energising now... good luck!"

Day 1
Stardate: 2406.04.19

(Shuttlecraft - Outside the Nimtz - Catain Sash- 1548)

Sash took position inthe copilots seat, beside Sevant. They had been
working the sensors to try and ascertain the situation on the Nimtz, but to
no avail. Sash was impressed withthe Sovereign class ship. he knew the
specs adn design, but this was the first time he had seen one from inside a
shuttle. He felt a little pang of uilt at the loss of his own ship and
crew.

Vanyssa appeared and began to inform them of what she had learned from her
telepathic contact with the Kestra Troi from this universe. Sash knew the
other Troi was dead, but he could still hear that laugh in his mind, and was
suspicous of her intentions. He had to put that out of his head. This was
not the same person, but her alter ego.

It seems that the ship has been taken over by the Mirror Universe crew and
they have managed to lock out all the computer systems, including comm and
transporter. The mind of the strategist in Sash went into motion. Finally
Nessa said, "I don't know what to do. I'm a little out of my depth for my
first command."

Sash gave her a little smile, "You're doing great." He found the uniform
she was wearing a little distracting to his focus, so he added, "Go back
and check on the others. I'll see what we can come up with. I know that
Fickett is a doctor, but that leg wound he's got didn't look to good to me."

(reply Winters)

Once she was gone he found thinking a lot easier. She was doing a great
job, and had been instrumental in getting her team to this shuttle. He was
very proud of her. But he would n't be able to do anything about it, is
they failed here.
An Idea began to form in his head.

He turned to Sevant, "if they've locked out all voice commands except for
themselves, obviously the computer recognizes his voice as yours. It should
recognize your voice for his. If you order the computer to reinitialize all
command functions, then they should be able to at least regain access to the
bridge. The only problem there being now, is the Vanyssa Winters from the
other side. She has to be put out of commission."

(reply Sevant)

They called Nessa back to the cockpit of the shuttle and Sash began to give
directions. He didn't mean to take control, it just sort of happened. And
for some reason people have always followed him.

"Nessa, I need you to contact Troi," he said. "Let them know that we are
about to regain access to the computer and if they have anything in place
they should move fast. We're not sure how long before they regain control,
and it sure would be helpful for them to be ready to move quickly."

Stardate: 2406.04.19

(USS Nimitz - corridor close to bridge - ACMO Lt. Kestra Troi - 1550)

As Kestra was headed toward the Bridge to have little .... talk .... with
Vanyass, she suddenly got a call in her mind. It was almost like a scream as
she picked it up as though the person was standing right next to her
screaming in her ear.

::Kestra?:: Vanyssa projected. ::Kestra, can you hear me?::

For some reason she knew it was not the Vanyssa that she was looking for
becuase of the tone. At first she did not want to answer it as it might
bring them back into more danger than they could handle. She was going to
take care of all the danger herself, so, she decided that she would tell
Vanyssa what was going on.

::Vanyssa, I know this is the real one and I am glad you are alright:: She
tried to tone down the power she knew she was projecting but she had to get
to her, ::is everyone there with you?::

Vanyssa nearly cried out in relief when she heard Kestra. ::::Yes! God you
are
loud. Is this what I sounded like to you on that planet? No never mind,
don't answer that. All of us, plus one... but that is a long story. What is
going on? The head torturer here had it on her mind that they were going to
capture the Nimitz. Has the away team done so yet?:: She sent.

::yes they are trying now:: Kestra returned to her, ::your double sedated my
mental powers but I am much better now and am about to finish this so stay
away for a little while I will let you know when to come.::

Vanyssa blinked twice and turned her attention away from Nishi and fully to
Kestra. ::What do you mean, you'll handle it all by yourself? Kestra, do you
know what these people are? They can and will kill you, just by looking at
you.:: Vanyssa sent. ::What are your plans?::

::maybe before they could but not now:: Kestra sent back with confidence,
::I
will take on Vanyssa one on one then the marines will take the rest as they
are insignificant.::

Vanyssa took a deep breath and spoke aloud. "She's insane." Which cuaght the
attention of everyone. ::Kestra, you will do NO such thing. That is a direct
order.:: Vanyssa spoke, praying that Kestra wouldn't get herself killed.
Something in the way the real Vanyssa talked to her made her hessitate for a
moment thinking that she should obey. Then the fact that Vanyssa was just
the Counselor took over and Kestra knew that she could not order her around.
Kestra was bound and determined that the doubles were not going to hurt her
friends and companions again. She had to finish this before that happened.

::I have made an antidote to Vanyssa and I injected it into myself to
enhance
my capabilities, I am better, I am better than you, ...... for now::

Vanyssa blinked as she followed Kestra's line of thought. ::Not only am I a
rank higher than you, Kestra Troi, but I'm also the third officer of this
ship. A command officer. You will not take on the double one on one. You
would be better served going to find the marines and helping them out.::
Vanyssa sighed and held her head in her hands. Her head hurt and arguing
with Kestra was only going to make it hurt more.

Kestra knew the only way to stop her was to seem to agree with her. She had
too much to do to sit here arguing with her even if she was third officer,
she was not the first officer or the captain.

::fine, I will get with the marines and let them back me up.:: Kestra
returned.

Vanyssa knew that Kestra was agreeing too easily. ::You are agreeing way too
easily. You know, Katie should be with the marines. Her and David discussed
doing that after the invasion, in case communication was cut off.::

::fine, I will contact Katie then and join up with her as two Telepaths
would
be better than one.:: Kestra returned hoping that she would not have to just
cut communicating with Vanyssa.

::And Katie is a trained security officer:: Vanyssa spoke. ::Sash has an
idea
that Sevant could unlock the computer from here. It's worth a shot.::
Vanyssa
sent back.

::Do what you think you can and I will do ..... what ..... you said:: Kestra
did not want to say exactly what she was thinking or the conversation would
continue.

Vanyssa frowned. ::If you do what I know you are thinking, I will court
martial you, Kestra Troi, for disobeying a direct order.::

::fine I will do as you say, you always have to have the last say and run my
life. But, I do owe you so I will contact Katie to see where they are and
assist them:: Kestra resigned to send back, ::Btw, I have not felt
theCaptain:: Kestra added

::Katie, this is Kestra where are you?:: Kestra sent out hoping that Katie
was
still up and running.

Katie looked up in the middle of Engineering. ::Kestra? My god, it's good to
hear from you.:: Katie spoke telepathically and aloud for everyone's
benefit.

::I have been ordered by the Real Vanyssa to help you and the marines. I
told
her that I could do this on my own but she doesnt trust me, probably because
of what happened before. So, what is it that I can do to help you?:: Kestra
told Katie not holding the disgust in her words at the actions she had to
do.

Katie laughed. ::The marines have a plan to send gas to the bridge, and then
storm it. Actually what would be most helpful is if you could come up with
something to block the rogue Winters.:: Katie finished. ::Lee wants to know
where Zzt and Stolev are. We have the rogue Falthgood locked up in a closet
down here in Engineering.::

Kestra sent what Katie said to Vanyssa so she would know and would be able
to plan around it. She then thought why not just keep an open line so we all
can talk together. Kestra connected to both Katie and Vanyssa becoming the
conduit for their communications.

::I can take care of the rogue Winters if Vanyssa will give me the ok and
not
stop me. As for Zzt and Stolev I had them in the Computer core trying to
take it back.::

Vanyssa pondered this for a moment as she repeated it out loud. ::If they
gas
the bridge, and the gas works, then shoot the rogue Winters full of
telepathic suppressant and lock her in the brig. Sevant too. Vulcans...are
twisted here. And he's as much of a danger as Winters is if he gets his
hands on you.::

::I would have to go back to sickbay to gather up the suppressant. I am half
way to the bridge and can take her out without the suppressant. But, if it
is your order, I will head back to get it. Katie, you get that?:: Kestra
returned to the group.

Katie nodded. ::You aren't going to like things on the bridge when this gas
goes off. :: Vanyssa looked down at the floor and began to get dizzy.
::Kestra, can you take out the rogue Winters while not in front of her?::
Vanyssa asked
::it would be better to be looking at her but I think I can at the very
least, distract her.:: Kestra replied yet hoping to look into the eyes of
the
rogue winters for paybacks.

::that sounds good to me.:: Kestra isn't going to get herself killed now,
everyone is informed as to what is going on. if Kestra is going to disobey,
now would be the time to do it.

Katie relayed to Kestra. ::Lee says that the bridge is going to be a
battleground and you are only going to get yourself killed.:: Katie stopped
for a moment and replied. ::And lee says if you go in anyway, he will shoot
you himself.::

::Ok we are in agreance that Katie and the marines are going to gas the
bridge and I am going to .... Distract.... the rogue Winters as the marines
storm in, is that correct and the orders?:: Kestra asked to make sure

::Lee is threatening a fellow officer?:: Kestra asked in disbelief

Katie nodded. ::Yes.:: Vanyssa held her aching head in her hands. ::Yes.
Those
are my orders.:: She spoke aloud to Sash and Sevant.

Katie grinned mentally. ::He's in a really really bad mood.::

::Ok Vanyssa orders are orders, Katie tell Lee he has not seen a pissed off
Betazoid so he had best be on his best behavior or I will show him what
pissed is all about.:: Kestra returned to them all.

Vanyssa laughed and Katie relayed the message to Lee. Katie spoke then, to
Kestra. ::Vanyssa doesn't sound like herself and that hurt her a lot. I have
to say that I'm glad that you are going to take on the rogue Winters and not
her.::

::Lee was engaged to a betazoid with perpetual cramps, he is not impressed::
Katie replied with Lee's answer

Kestra found Lee and sent a very strong urge that he needed to relief
himself, ::Yes I am glad also Katie:: Kestra smiled to herself.

::anyway, how far before they are ready and does he want me to distract
before the gas goes in or just as it goes?:: Kestra asked wanting to know
her
timing.

Katie looked down at the floor. ::Soon. I'll signal you as to when.:: Katie
spoke.
::Vanyssa, Katie, The rogue Winters probably knows I am back as I sent a
small scan throughout the ship. I had not before been able to ... see ...
them but now I can. I tried to back away quickly but not sure if she caught
it or not.:: Kestra had to inform them.

Kestra was not sure that her brush would ruin the plans they just made or
not. She could not be sure she did not wish that the Rogue Winters would
come looking for her. She did want a confrontation and doing it without
looking into her eyes is not really what she wanted.

Stardate: 2406.04.19

(USS Nimitz - Sickbay Laboratory - ACMO Lt. Kestra Troi - 1550)

Kestra was impressed at the work that Nurse Wang was accomplishing. With the
knowledge that she evidently had mixing first one chemical then another
until it was completed. Then the antidote was checked with the readings of
the drug that had been introduced into Kestra's system. At first Wang looked
like she was about to throw it away, but, then turned to add a few drops
more. Once she had done that, she compared it again to find that she had
actually dropped the right amount.

"Ok, Doctor Troi, are you sure you want to do this? We don't know what
reaction you will have with this new antidote. I don't think it will kill
you, but, other than that I don't know." Wang informed her.

"Yes, I am sure and I know the risks. We have no other choice at what to do
and we need to do something." Kestra said as she gave the nurse a reassuring
look.

Nurse Wang swiped Kestra's upper arm with a alcohol pad then pressed the
hypospray against the area. Wang stopped a moment as she looked into Kestra'
s eyes to see it there was any doubt about what was about to happen. Finding
nothing, she pressed the trigger and injected the antidote. Stepping back a
little, she stood watching Kestra just in case there was a reaction that
needed her quick response.

After being injected with the enhanced antidote, Kestra sat down, knowing
from her experience of injections that it was best, in case there was a
reaction. She started to feel the opening of her mind as the antidote was
working on her. Then the disorientation, and dizziness started in, which,
started to concern her. She grabbed the handles of the chair she was sitting
in to anchor herself down in case she lost her balance. Looking up into Wang
's face, she could see the concern she had as to what was happening.

Wang did not know whether to do something, anything or not. She decided to
take Kestra's vitals to see what was happening in her system. Pulling out
the tricorder, she ran a quick scan, it confirmed that they were elevated
but nothing life threatening. She then readied a dose of medicine that would
bring Kestra's vitals back to normal if they headed higher.

Kestra could feel the minds on the ship and it was a relief to get that
back. Then she noticed that it was different from before, it was much more
clear. She began to understand that these were not surface thoughts that she
usually received, but, subconscious thoughts. As she noticed that the nurses
in sickbay, theirs was not subconscious, but, deep hidden thoughts. She
panned out again and noticed that she could actually touch the minds of the
Away Team members. She pulled back quickly and hoped that the one called
Vanyssa had not caught the touch.

Kestra was enjoying the feeling of her new enhanced abilities and knew that
she could do anything now. She alone could take down the intruders and stop
the take over of the Nimitz. She alone could save everyone on board and get
the ones that were lost in the anomaly.

Wang looked at Kestra, seeing that there was something indeed happening to
her. She saw the look of someone that had just disassociated themselves from
reality. She started to worry about Kestra and thought that she should
administer the medicine she had readied. But, as she thought of it, Kestra
looked up at her shaking her head no.

"Nurse Wang, I am alright and now everyone will be also." Kestra said as she
stood up, "you and the other nurses, stay here, I will take care of
everything."

Kestra knew where she had to go to find Vanyssa and stop her, so, she
started in that direction.

Wang then watched as Kestra confidently walked out of sickbay. She had no
idea where she was heading and no way of notifying anyone.

(Shuttlecraft - Outside the Nimitz - Captain Sash- 1552)

Sash split his attention between Sevant and the sensors. he was amazed at
where Sevant had put them. He had to remember this blind spot. He wasn't
sure how long it would remain so.

Sevantlookedto the rest of the people on the shuttle, "Someone contact Lee
and tell me when my double is down and the gas is cleared.!"

He turned to Vanyssa. "Tell them that access to the computer has been
reinstated. Initiate the attack. Send in the grenades and then let us know
when the bridge is clear."

He watched as concentration showed on her face. She opened her blue eyes
and looked into Sash's. She nodded to Sash telling him that all was ready.
Sash looked at Sevant.

"Everythings set," he said.

Stardate: 2406.04.19

(USS Nimitz - deck 16 engineering/transporter - OPS/CONN Ensign Kateb - 1600)

Kestra walked over to where Onyx pointed to and waited for her to beam her to the ready room. "If the marines fail me, Mister Lee you will answer for it. energise."

"Energising now... good luck!"

Rich crossed his arms as he grumbled, as he stepped onto the pad with his men, "Lets not waste this, prepare all teams...Engage!"

"Of course, I will transport you to the ready room... Energizing now!"

Onyx then look around, the only person with her was Katia. She pass by her and look outside there was no one. They had to leave, just in case and she pick up the last phaser in the reserve compartment.

"We have to leave here... Come with me please!" Then she turn toward Katia with a weird look on her face. "Did you say that I am loud?... Never mind." Onyx open the way, and they reach the nearess jefferies tube.

Mission: Oubliette, Day 2
Stardate: 2406.04.19

(Nimitz - Bridge - 1st Lt Richard Ian Lee - 1605)

Rich lifted the scattergun and screamed into his own helmet as the
transporter let go of them. He didn't have to visually scan much to see
what was going on, Sevant was sitting at the Operations console,
obviously struggling for breath, and Winters was in one of the command
chairs, not paying attention to much of anything. The rest of the crew
was snug up against a wall, passed out to the last man from the
gas-grenade attack that had been launched first.

Rich wasted no time in moving forward. The Vulcan raised his phaser, and
got off a wild shot, but his aim was terrible and several phaser shots
took him full in the chest not even a moment later. The Vulcan went
flying out of the chair, and rolled to a stop several feet from the Ops
console. The betazoid was doing nothing, but Rich was no mans fool, he
aimed for her and took her in the chest with a full stun shot, and
watched her drop like a sack of potatoes.

"Cover the enemy, the rest of you to essential bridge stations!"

Rich himself gave Sevant a good kick, to get him further away from the
Ops station, before bending down and ripping a second phaser from his
belt. He tossed the phaser to the other side of the room, then plopped
down at the Operations console. It didn't take much to see the ship was
in bad shape.

=/= Sir, weapons are firing at random.=\=

Rich looked at his status, "And everything has been turned up to full,
an attempt to burn power and prevent a core overload. At least they
weren't stupid..."

He was interrupted however, by the same officer. =/=Two Landing craft
incoming from the anomaly! Not heavily armed, but they are packed
full!=\=

~That would be their backup.~

Rich smiled evilly, "Take em out."

His Marines weren't Tactical officers, but the firing controls for a
Starship were the same system that controlled a lot of the Marine
tactical systems, it didn't take long for the Sergeant to target the
craft with phasers. The craft suddenly started evasive maneuvers, but
the troop ships were ungainly, and made beautiful targets.

They made even better fireworks, though, once they had been obliterated.

"Keep a weather eye on that anomaly, kill anything that comes through
it!" Rich said, booking to room for argument. He tapped on the board,
"Computer, identify me."

[First Lieutenant Richard Ian Lee, acting...]

"Enough!" he said, to cut the computer short. He had control again,
Sevant had been fully successful. He opened the PA system, "This is Lt
Lee, all Officers once again have control. Lieutenant Zzt and all
engineers back to engineering immediately. Security and Medical team to
the bridge, Security team to Engineering. All Marines and free Tactical
forces to Boarding positions. Primary and backup Bridge crew to the
bridge. Lee out."

(reply: Tactical, Engineers, Medical, Bridge Crew, etc)

Rich tapped into the environmental controls, and cleared the bridge of
the anastizine gas in moments, it wouldn't do to have incoming crew
knocked out. Without turning, he said "Keep those telepaths knocked out,
at least until a medical team can keep them under." he said to his
guarding Marines.

=^=Lee, tell us when the bridge is secure!=^=

Rich took a moment to place the voice, then noticed it was one of the
traitors. A moments thought later, though, he noted that all the mirror
officers were captured, this would be one of the *true* officers. He
replied, "Bridge is secure."

Several moments later, a body shimmered into existence on the Bridge, in
front of the view screen in plain view. Rich started pulling a weapon as
he noticed Sevant, then slid it back when he noticed THIS Sevant
apparently had gone through hell. Not to mention, when he turned his
head, that the other was still laying out on the floor with a Marine
guard.

Sevant walked forward, phaser in hand, with purpose. "Lee, give me
computer access again." he said. Rich didn't question that, he simply
said. "Computer, reinstate all of Commander Sevant's privileges."

[Reinstated]

The Vulcan took a sideways glance at the Mirror-Sevant, his face a mask.
"Get that offal off the bridge," he growled.

"Security teams are en-route to do just that, Sir." Lee said, in a
no-nonsense voice. Sevant nodded, "Have the ship prepared for a
boarding."

"Done, Sir." he replied

Sevant started walking to the middle of the bridge, "Computer, open a
link to all science staff."

[Done]

"This is Commander Sevant... The real one. Get back to the labs, and
find a way to close this anomaly in a hurry."

A voice replied, brokenly, "Already working on it, hold your horses
Vulcan." Sevant ignored that, Falthgood hadn't had a better time then
him, he *should* be in sickbay. Then again, Sevant should have also, but
there wasn't time. He looked around, "Where is the Captain?"

(reply: any)
