USS Tiger Shark-B: "Mirror, Mirror on the wall"

[mathijsbuster]

OFF: Sorry I haven't posted for a while guys, I was kind of busy and for some very strange reason I wasn't in the mood to post.


ON:

"This isn't good" Buster thought, as he was walking through the corridor with 3 assault troops walking in front him.

He had succeeded in finding a hypospray to keep the genetically engineered guard sedated, but on his way back he ran into these idiots, who seemed to be a bit too eager to talk to him in private. Buster had no idea why they were walking through corridors instead of talking, but the troops seemed to be knowing exactly where they were going.

The troops slowed down and walked to the side, where a door could be found. One of them pressed a button and the door opened. He then pressed another few buttons and walked in. Buster and the other two troopers followed.

"You wanted to talk to me?" Buster asked.

The biggest of the three assault troops replied: "Yes sir, we were wondering where you have been lately? You weren't in the training room during the drills and you didn't even come to the meeting you had planned"

Buster raised an eyebrow. This wasn't good, he had to think of some excuse.
"Eh, is this any of your bussiness, soldier?" he said, as this was the best he could think off.

The troop looked back in a strange way when Buster said the word "soldier", but answered the question.
"Yes sir, it is. And I will report this to the captain".

Buster was surprised. He wasn't expecting the troops to act like this, especially not to a superior. But if they wanted to report this to the captain, it wasn't much of a problem, with Danny being the captain now.

"You do that soldier. Now, if you want to excuse me? I have important bussiness to attend to" Buster said.

This time the assault troops looked even more confused by what Buster said, and the smallest of them walked to a console in the back of the room.

Buster thought the conversation was finished and was about to exit the room when he heard an angry voice behind him.

"Goodbye"

Buster turned around quickly and was just in time to evade a phaser shot that almost hit his head.

"Gah! Fools! Stop shooting at me!" Buster screamed. "I'm your superior!!" , and he ran out of the room. He was in the corridor again. He quickly looked around and decided to run left. Another shot was fired, and this one hit him full in the back. His armor deflected it.

The assault troops followed Buster and kept firing at him. Buster was strafing from left to right, dodging shots. Another annoying fact was that the troops seemed to be faster runners than he was, and they were gaining on him.

Buster jumped over a crate that for some reason was in the middle of the corridor (it didn't surprise him though, stuff was lying everywhere), and he grabbed his phaser rifle from his belt. He looked over the crate and fired a few shots at the assault troops. He had almost no experience with rifles though, and the shots flew everywhere, but not in the direction of the troops he was aiming for. The troops quickly took cover behind a corner and returned fire.

Phaser fire was everywhere, and Buster got hit another 3 times. The armor that he was wearing did wonders though, and it probably was the only reason that he hadn't been vaporised yet...
Buster wished he had his combadge now, so he could call for help. He also wondered how long it would take for the rest of the ship to notice the phaser fight that was going on.
He knew he had to get out of here, but if he just fleed, the troops would most likely alarm the other troops, and then it wouldn't take long before every assault trooper on the ship was after him. And Buster didn't even have any idea what he had done wrong...

When Buster ducked to take cover again, he noticed the grenade that was on his belt. It was a strange kind of grenade, not anything that Buster had ever seen before. He grabbed it from his belt and threw it in the direction of the troopers behind the corner. The grenade didn't go as far as he had hoped, but Buster took cover anyway and perhaps he could still flee right after the grenade explosion.

Something went "Zip!" and Buster opened his eyes again. He was expecting an explosion, but when he looked, the troopers were nowhere to be seen. A strange smell was in the air though. Buster stood up and ran away, in the direction of the teleporter room.

He now hoped the big engineered guard hadn't woken up while he was away, otherwise the others could be in big trouble...

[Deleted]

"Lt. what are you doing here, and all alone roaming around this ship, you know what people think for you here. Do you know how lucky you were that you didn’t run into anyone, because if you did you probably would not have survived it?"

" I am sorry Sir." Luke replied. "I could not just sit there and wait for my fellow cremates to get me home. I have to help."

"How are you feeling?", Felix asked

"My leg is still in a fair amount of pain and I think half of mu uniform on the leg has been melted to it but I am able to walk on it." Luke replied.

"What happened to Buster, where is he?"

"I do not know, Sir. When I awoke no one was in the room. I assumed he was with you, I hope he is alright." Luke said.

"Can you walk?"

"Yes I believe I can 'hobble' along Sir." A small smile played across Lukes lips.

"Come on I’ll help you , we need to go down to the transporter room , you will be relatively safe there, maybe well even find Buster down there."

And so they slowly made way towards the transporter room.

Luke nodded to Savali signalling that they could start the journey. This was going to be hard work!

"Commander?" Luke said.

"Yes Mr. Dowding" Savali replied.

"Will we ever get back to our own universe?" luke asked.

"I am sure we will Lt. Although we have been experiencing some problems. However the crew of the Tiger Shark is not easily defeated!" Savali said confidently.

"Yes sir!" Luke replied.

Two officers walked passed Luke and felix. Felix quickly grabbed lukes and pulled them tightly behind his back to make it look like Luke was his slave.

"Sir" The officer nodded at Savali and carried out the familiar hand salute that was president in the mirror universe. Savali nodded back and once they had turned the corner he released Luke.

"I am sorry Lt. I hd to make it look normal"

"I understand sir." Luke said rubbing his hands.

The walked for another 5 minutes and reached a turbolift.

Savali walked up to the doors however they would not open.

"Can you smell something Sir?" Luke asked.

"Yes I can actually." Savali replied.

Luke looked round the corner and saw a big blcak patch on the ground and a haze of smoke.

"Let us go this way." Savali said. "It may answer some questions."

They walked round the corner and kept walking for another five minutes until they saw someone slumped against the wall. Breathing heavily.
Savali grabbed Lukes arms again so as not to arouse suspicion and they walked closer to the person.

"Officer. Is there a problem?" Savali asked gruffly. Trying to sound different to what he normally sounds like.

The officer looked up. It was...

"Buster!" Luke called...

<TAG Savali and Buster>

[blaster89]

"Ok guys," Fitzpatrick started, "Danny, you and Liam can go to the Marine Deck, and get the masks and armaments. Be Discrete. J'leera and I will go to engineering and get our plasma torch."

"Ok." Danny said, and He and Liam moved towards the closest Turbolift. Fitzpatrick and J'leera went to the next turbolift, and went to engineering. Rye had never seen the Engine Room of his ship yet, but if it was anything like this, he would be very comfortable. The walls were lined with consoles, and in the center of the area was the warp core. They went to the upper level and got the plasma torch, and then went out of Engineering. In the corridor outside engineering, they were confronted by a large security guard.

“Are you authorized to use that?” He asked them.

“Yes, sir, we’ve been authorized by the Chief Engineer to use this.” J’leera said. The security guard nodded, and went on his way. The two officers went on their way back to Deck 6, and waited for Danny and Liam to return. About 20 minutes later, Danny came out of the turbolift, with Liam following him closely. They apologized for the delay, and explained that they had a hard time getting the masks from storage.

Now that they had everything, Fitzpatrick began sealing the doors with the plasma torch. When he finished, they all put on their gas masks, and opened the door with the robot.

[laika]

Opening the door itself wasn’t that difficult, but as soon as they did, thick yellow smoke began to fill the doorway. J’Leera was glad that the gas mask protected her from the deadly fumes. She hoped that Rye had sealed the doors well.

Besides the masks, Danny and Danny also brought back phaser rifles for all of them as well as enough explosives to destroy the entire room. At the moment, they were leaning up against the wall in the corridor. J’Leera glanced over at them. “Don’t you think you’re overdoing it?” she asked.

Danny grinned, “You can never be too cautious. After we disable it, I want this thing destroyed so that they can’t use it again.”

“Why do you say that?” she asked. “What right to we have to tell people what weapons they may have?”

He stopped a put a extra phaser power pack in his pocket before he answered. “Because that doesn’t look like technology they belong having. The mirror universe isn’t as advanced as we are. That technology in there is more advanced than anything we have. How do you suppose they got it? And what makes you so certain that they’ll never use it against us?”

“Good point sir,” she agreed. “I believe that you may be right on it being advanced. But I also know from the data I collected on it, that many of the components used on it are of Federation origin.”

He nodded, “I suspected that something was wrong here.” He turned to Rye. “Ensign! Is that robot ready?”

“Ready sir!” he replied, letting it loose.

They watched as the robot rolled across the floor over to where the weapon console lay, protected behind its high level force field. A very low, faint hum to be heard coming from the force field that filled the entire room. As the robot began to approach it, J’Leera was monitoring its progress and was also checking to make sure that the room was not being monitored.

So far, everything was going as planned without any glitches. The robot had a small mechanical arm that extended underneath the console. J’Leera wasn’t sure what the robot was doing exactly, but she could see small sparks flying out from underneath. After a minute or two, the robot withdrew the arm and went to the other side and repeated the process. After that was done, they heard the room go silent as the force field was deactivated.

Danny motioned for them all to follow him inside where they began to work. J’Leera set to work first by recording data onto her tricorder to take back with them. If this technology was indeed of Federation origin, then she was certain that Command would want to see it.

Meanwhile was helping Danny and Liam to set the charges around the console while Rye was busy deactivating it.

J’Leera finished her scans and went to help Rye. She bent down and began helping him take the console apart. “Arrived at a bad time didn’t you?” she commented.

Rye nodded, “It’ll be nice to get back on the real Tiger Shark and see what she was like.”

“I didn’t get to see much, since I haven’t been here very long,” she continued. “But I think you’ll enjoy being with this crew. They’re good people.”

“I’m sure,” he grinned. “You didn’t happen to see a replicator nearby by any chance did you ?”

“No, I didn’t,” she shook her head. “I know what you mean though. I’m starving.”

“Maybe we’ll find one later,” he said and continued working.

OOC: *wonders if she has been written out as CEO in the Mirror universe or something?* *Be's Very lost on where the heck she is* So cant even post cause has no clue what im doing or where i am at :S*Frowns*

[Felix Savali]

Off: You’re in the transporter room with Wood. Since you are the ceo in the mirror universe and have the codes he needs

On:

After Felix and Luke ran into Buster they almost got knocked of their feet from the shock, as they had not expected to find anyone there.

"Doctor, what are you doing here", Felix asked him

<Buster>

After Buster told them what had happened, he took a look at Luke’s leg and saw that there’s not much he can do for him until they got back to their own TS. Also he could do was heal the wound as the mirror people did not have the necessary tools for that.

<Buster, Luke>

After they sorted out their numbers they started walking towards the transporter room, as they wanted to leave Luke in a safe place and didn’t want to risk it by joining the others as the ships crew could find this suspicious.

After a long walk during which they were helping Luke, they finally arrived to the transporter room. And Buster went forward and banged on the door.

<Tag anyone Buster, Luke, Tiffani ....>

[Deleted]

After Buster told them what had happened, he took a look at Luke’s leg and saw that there’s not much he can do for him until they got back to their own TS. Also he could do was heal the wound as the mirror people did not have the necessary tools for that.

"I am sorry Luke. Your leg is far too messed up for the primitive medical technology over here to help. You will have to wait until we get back to our universe but there is a possibility that you will have a limp for the rest of your life as your leg will not be treated for a long time" Buster said gravely.

Luke tried to smile but all that played across his lips was a half grimace. "I understand. Shall we continue." Luke said.

"Yes, lets" replied Savali.

After a long walk during which they were helping Luke, they finally arrived to the transporter room. And Buster went forward and banged on the door.

The door was locked from the inside and there was no way to open from where the three of them were standing.

Buster banged on the door again. Still nothing.

"Maybe they're not there." Luke said leaning against the door for a rest. His leg was throbbing painfully.


At the moment the doors slid open and Luke fell straight through through the open door s and layed sprwled across the ground.

"Today is definately not my day." He said rubbing his head.

Buster reached down and helped Luke up. He smiled and couldnt help but supress a small laugh, which in turn caused Luke to laugh.

"It is funny I suppose!" Luke said. Once on his feet Luke looked round and saw the transporter room was similar to that of the one on their own Tiger Shark.

"Wood. Report" Savali said.

<TAG anyone>

[Felix Savali]

After Wood had informed Felix that the transporter was modified, but they still were not receiving enough power, meaning the other team has not yet rerouted the necessary power to them. He also let them know that the transporter was rigged to explode 5 seconds after they beam of this mirror ship.

After Felix heard the report he knew that they would be out of here soon , only things that were left to be done was for J'Leera , Ryerson and Lohnen to reroute the necessary power to the transporter room and they could leave this place behind them.

He looked at Buster and Dowding who were discussing mr. Dowding’s leg , down to Tiffani. He went over to her he had not spoken to her for a while.

"How are you Tiff", he asked with a low voice while they were waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.

<Tiffani>

"We will be back home soon", he said to her while he gave her a light kiss on the mouth

<Tiffani>

=/\=Savali to general Lohnen=/\=

=/\=When can we expect the power to the transporter to be restored=/\=, he asked

<Lohnen, Ryerson, J'Leera>

=/\=Understood, Savali out=/\=

Then he turned to the rest of the room and noticed that they all were listening to his conversation with the team.

<Dowding, Wood, Buster, Tiffani>

[lohnen]

Sorry for my long absence. My time is rather limited at the moment due to a Literature exam I have soon. I'll post something significant tomorrow.

[tiffani]

"How are you Tiff", he asked with a low voice while they were waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.

I am okay, Just a little worried that im not offering all i could to this mission *she sighed* especially not having my betazoid senses i feel empty *she said with a look of concern*

"We will be back home soon", he said to her while he gave her a light kiss on the mouth

*Tiffani blushed slightly, she still had not gotten used to him showing her affection infront of the rest of the crew**although she knew the did not care as they was married but it still felt out of sort to her*

=/\=Savali to general Lohnen=/\=

=/\=When can we expect the power to the transporter to be restored=/\=, he asked

<Lohnen, Ryerson, J'Leera>

=/\=Understood, Savali out=/\=

Then he turned to the rest of the room and noticed that they all were listening to his conversation with the team.

<Dowding, Wood, Buster, Tiffani>

[Deleted]

Once Luke was back on his feet he looked at Savali. He was talking intently into his comm badge. Luke didnt want to listen into a private converstaion however he did want to get home and get this confounded leg sorted out, it was beginning to hurt again.

"Orders Sir?" Luke enquired.

<TAG anyone. Sorry about the short post but Im really busy at the moment. I may post later ;D>

[blaster89]

Fitzpattrick worked dilligently on the weapon, and with J'leera's help, had finished in good time.

"Done, finally." Fitzpatrick exclaimed. He stood up, and helped J'leera up. "Ok the power will be availible now. Let's get to the transporter room and prep for getting home."

"Ok. when we are about to beam back, detonate the charges." J'leera said.

The four officers now headed back to the transporter room.

[laika]

Danny agreed although judging from the look on his face, J'Leera suspected he would have liked to watch the explosives go off. She smiled to herself at the thought. She would have liked to too, but they had to get out of there quickly.

She gathered up her tricorder and a few data PADDs and followed the others out the door. They quickly walked out into the corridor and began making their way to the transporter room.

J'Leera sighed and tried her best to keep up, but ever since they first arrived in the mirror universe, none of them had gotten any rest at all. She was fine before, but now it was beginning to catch up on her. She told herself that once they got back, she was going to sleep for a full week. This encouraged her some, but she still had to struggle to stay focused.

They reached the transporter room without incident and walked in the find the others waiting eagerly.

[Felix Savali]

After Fitzpatrick, Lohnen, J'Leera returned to the transporter room Wood called out that the power to the transporter was restored.

"Nice job, everyone", Felix said to them once he heard that the transporter was powered up

<Tags>

"Mr. Fitzpatrick, get on that transporter and beam the captain and Thirteen down here", he said

<Fitzpatrick>

Then while Ryerson was tampering with the transporter he told everyone to prepare for transport. A few moments later, K'Vada and Thirteen appeared on the transporter pad. And just as they did an intruder alert alarm sounded.

"Well were just on time", Felix said as Buster went over to the captain who was lying on the transporter pad.

"Wood", Felix said

"It’s now or never", Wood said as everyone except Wood stood on the transporter pad

<Wood>

After Wood was done he rigged the explosives set the transporter coordinates, and just as he stepped on the pad the transporter energized and they couldn’t see the explosion because they were rigged to go of after the transport finishes.

This transport took longer then usual, but after about 30 or so seconds it was finished and they saw the transporter room of the Tiger Shark , their Tiger Shark.

"Hold it right there", 2 security officers came with phasers raised

"You thought you could sneak on to the TS you mirrors", the left one said

"But fortunately the captain had informed us about this and we had a trap set here for you", the man smiled

"And don’t bother to use your weapons, they were disabled during transport."

"And don’t bother talking, we were warned that you were going to try and sway us", the mans said before he used his commbadge to call down Fern

<Tags>

=/\=Torval to Cmdr. Laika=/\=

=/\=Laika here go ahead=/\=

Meanwhile Felix was whispering silently to Lohnen, J'Leera and Fitzpatrick who were closest to him.

"We need a plan and fast before he calls your friend Fern down here. I cant use my command codes to restrict access to the computer and raise force fields around us while they are watching me cause they would probably shoot me, we need a distraction and fast", Felix said

<Tag>

[blaster89]

"Johnson, Surmico," Captain K'vada started, "I know how this looks, but..."

One of the guards shot Captain K'vada in the chest. She fell back into Buster's hands. Everyone was shocked, and followed the guards. Fitzpatrick had spoken to a few people aboard the TS before he transported up, and sent to the mirror universe, Janen Surmico was one of them.

"Janen. I was talking to you when I was beaming up from Starfleet HQ. Remember? I beamed up and was sent over to the Mirror Universe.

[laika]

OFF: I’m not sure what you posted Rye. I didn’t quite understand what you were going at there. I think this is what you were trying to do.

Note: The sword being used here is a samauri sword.

J’Leera glanced at Savali nervously. This is certainly not what she had expected! Now what were they going to do? She perked up when she heard the mention of her name. But since when was she a Lieutenant Commander? Perhaps when they got control back again, she would be up for a promotion.

=/\=Laika here go ahead=/\=

She frowned, a little disgusted to hear her voice coming over the comm. Badge. She had an idea of what her counterpart was like and she did not want to meet her. Her attention turned back to Savali when he whispered to her.

"We need a plan and fast before he calls your friend Fern down here. I cant use my command codes to restrict access to the computer and raise force fields around us while they are watching me cause they would probably shoot me, we need a distraction and fast", Felix said.

“Right, but how?” she wondered.

Just then Fitzpatrick recognized one of the guards. He thought that he was the one who had spoken to him before transporting to the mirror universe, so he spoke up.

"Janen. I was talking to you when I was beaming up from Starfleet HQ. Remember? I beamed up and was sent over to the Mirror Universe.”

“What?” the guard asked, a little confused.

J’Leera nodded, Yes, keep talking to him. He’s getting distracted.

“Yes, you are familiar, but how do I know that you’re not the counterpart?” the guard challenged.

“How do you know that I’m not?” Rye shot back.

While all of this was going on, she noticed that Savali was taking advantage of the situation and was slowly moving toward the consoles. She then remembered her other weapon. There was no way the transporter could have disabled it, since it wasn’t a conventional weapon. Perhaps the guards didn’t even recognize it as one.

So as Fitzpatrick continued talking to the guards, she reached over her head and pulled the sword slowly out of its case. She waited for Savali’s signal before she did anything.

<TAG: Savali>

[thirteen]

Thirteen had the feeling he'd been knock-out for a day or so.

When he last woke and openend his eyes the room had began spinning, and he had closed his eyes again.

Minutes later he had tried to get up. He swayed on his legs for a few seconds before he'd stumbled forward.

He'd walked over to a mirror, and'd taken a look at him self. His face looked grey, very unhealthy.

Not being an ex-Borg in the mirror universe had really made him feel how weak humans really are.

How quickly they can be manipulate into states of misery.

He thought those things over while he'd looked at hinmself in the mirror, when all of a sudden blue stripes of light began tickeling his body, before he dematerialized.

He rematerialized on the transporter platform where his colleagues, his friends were also.

He felt dizzy and nothing that was said or done was completely clear to Thirteen.

Again the tickeling blue light, and he dematerialized again.

When Thirteen rematerialized it felt as if tons of burdens fell of his shoulders and his chest. He felt good, no longer tormented by miserable making emotions. Or any emotions at all at the moment.

He looked and could clearly see the scene.

They had returned to the real Tigershark, the USS Tigershark.

The corners of Thirteen's mouth rose a little bit, but Thirteen couldn't explain what that meant.

In the meanwhile'd Fitzpatrick managed to keep the guards busy.

Thirteen walked around the debating threesome, and found his place behind the two guards.

With a quick strike of both of his hands Thirteen made the heads of the guards collide with one another, causing both guards to sink to the ground like two bags of potatoes.

Thirteen nodded at Fitzpatrick whose mouth hung half open, having stopped talking in the middle of a word when whitnessing Thirteen's action.

Thirteen turned to J'Leera and apologized: ''Sorry for spoiling your fun.''

J'Leera lowered her sword, and gave Thirteen a little smile.

Thirteen decided to wait.

[Deleted]

OFF: Sorry Ive been away for a few days guys. My computer was messed up (again). Ive caught up on the posting so here goes.... ;D

ON:

As Luke stepped onto the transporter in the Mirror Universe. He smiled, glad that this was all going to be over soon.

The transport initiated and what seemed a long time later Luke and the rest of the group were back on their Tiger Shark. What a relief.

But all was not as it seemed.

Hold it right there", 2 security officers came with phasers raised

"You thought you could sneak on to the TS you mirrors", the left one said

"But fortunately the captain had informed us about this and we had a trap set here for you", the man smiled

"And don’t bother to use your weapons, they were disabled during transport."

"And don’t bother talking, we were warned that you were going to try and sway us", the mans said before he used his commbadge to call down Fern

Meanwhile Felix was whispering silently to Lohnen, J'Leera and Fitzpatrick who were closest to him.

"We need a plan and fast before he calls your friend Fern down here. I cant use my command codes to restrict access to the computer and raise force fields around us while they are watching me cause they would probably shoot me, we need a distraction and fast", Felix said

Luke groaned. Would this ever be over and to top it off the transport did something to his wounded leg and he was bleeding again. He lightly touched it and a spasm of pain flooded through him. He doubted it would ever be the same again.

Just then Fitzpatrick recognized one of the guards. He thought that he was the one who had spoken to him before transporting to the mirror universe, so he spoke up.

"Janen. I was talking to you when I was beaming up from Starfleet HQ. Remember? I beamed up and was sent over to the Mirror Universe.”

“What?” the guard asked, a little confused.

J’Leera nodded, Yes, keep talking to him. He’s getting distracted.

“Yes, you are familiar, but how do I know that you’re not the counterpart?” the guard challenged.

“How do you know that I’m not?” Rye shot back.

While all of this was going on, she noticed that Savali was taking advantage of the situation and was slowly moving toward the consoles. She then remembered her other weapon. There was no way the transporter could have disabled it, since it wasn’t a conventional weapon. Perhaps the guards didn’t even recognize it as one.

So as Fitzpatrick continued talking to the guards, she reached over her head and pulled the sword slowly out of its case. She waited for Savali’s signal before she did anything.

Luke hoped something would happen soon. He could barely move from the pain and his vision was getting blurry. He felt helpless. Totally useless...

[laika]

J’Leera heard a low groan and turned around to see Luke clutching his leg, his face grimaced from the pain. She gasped and took his arm just as he began to getting woozy and started to sink to the floor.

“Commander!” she called, trying to keep Luke from falling.

Everyone stepped forward to help.

Thirteen took Luke’s other arm and with J’Leera and Savali’s help, they gently lowered him to the floor.

Buster came up to check his leg. He frowned at what he saw. “We need to get him to Sickbay, this is becoming infected.”

J’Leera nodded, looking at how red the wound had become. “I’ll help you,” she said.

“That may be a little difficult,” Savali said. “We don’t know where our counterparts are and what security measures they’ve taken. It’s obvious that they were expecting us, so I find it extremely likely that they’ve done other things.”

“Perhaps Lt. Löhnen would be able to escort us to Sickbay?” J’Leera asked.

<Tag: anyone>

[Felix Savali]

After all the racket and problems, and after they sorted out the welcome party their mirror versions left for them, Felix and Wood went over to the console on the wall. Felix used his access codes to change the terminal to display internal sensors and gain direct access to the main computer while Wood got a lock on where every one of their doubles were.

"OK, sickbay is relatively safe", Wood said

"Only Busters double is there", he added

"Well transport the captain, Buster, Luke and Lohnen to sickbay, seeing as Busters double is something like a marine", Felix added

"After you disable, the other Buster, Mr. Lohnen, we are going to need your help to take care the rest of these mirrors, but before we take them down we will ask about what they have been doing here", Felix added

<Tags>

"And only if it is really unavoidable, and you got no other choice, you can attack to kill.", he said

<Tag>

"Mr. Wood and I will raise force fields around the bridge, engineering and the marine deck, after which i will disable the command functions which will make the ship stop from moving or whatever it is doing. I have changed the codes so the mirror versions will not be able to restore the command functions, but they will eventually penetrate the fields, so we must hurry."; he said

<Tags>

"After you are done in sickbay, Mr. Lohnen, you go and hunt your mirror version down", he said

<Lohnen>

After he was finished talking he transported Buster, K'Vada, Luke and Lohnen to sickbay. Meanwhile Wood gave everyone the location of their mirror version. After that Felix spoke to the computer.

=/\=Computer disable all command functions, authorization alpha 9-8-6 omega 4=/\=

=/\=Command functions disabled=/\=

"The force fields are up", Wood added

"Ok people, let’s move out and take care of the mirror versions and send them back to where they belong.", he added before everyone went out of the door

<Tag Everyone>

[Deleted]

As the transport initiated Luke forced himself to keep concious.

As sickbay materialised around him he collapsed onto the nearest bed. He didnt care whp was there.

Buster walked up to Luke and started work on the wound. Before this he made sure the Captain was lying comfortably on the bed and gave him some pain killers.

Pulling the leg of Lukes trousers up Buster discovered it was worse than he had first thought. Where the knife had gone in Luke had lost a good percentage of blood and a lot tissue that Buster didnt think could be replicated. To top it off the blade had been posioned and the venom was slowly seeping through Lukes body, transport had increased the production of the poison.

"Its a marvel that you are alive let alone awake!" Buster said.

Luke groaned a response that no one could make out.

"Its O.k Luke. I'll get this sorted." Buster replied.

"I'll go find the mirror you." Danny said.

"Agreed." Buster replied. "Keep guard whilst I treat the Captain and Luke here."

Danny walked through into the next room silently and saw the mirror Buster asleep at a desk. This is where Lohnens military training came in. He sneaked up behind the mirror Buster and administered a Hypospray that lowered the patient into a semi - coma state. He carried the slumbering counterpart inot the ame room a severy one else and tied him to a bed with some ripped up bed linen.

"Too easy" Danny muttered.

He walked back over to the real Buster and enquired after Luke and the Captain.

"The Captain is fine, just needs some rest." Buster said. "But Lukes leg will take some time to heal. Any worse and I would have to amputate." Buster said gravely.

Danny looked at Lukes mangled leg and the horrible slavers uniform that had cost him so much pain.

"I'll replicate a new uniform for him" Lohnen suggested and walked over to the replicator ordering a new uniform using the computers database to make sure it would fit Luke.

20 minutes later and Luke was stirring. He was glad to discover that his leg wasnt throbbing with pain anymore, only very tender and he could put weight on it.
He saw the uniform that Danny had left for him and put it on behind the curtain around his bed.

He got out of the bed and gingerly stood up. It hurt a little but it was bearable. He noticed the mirror Buster and avoided him.

The real Buster and Lohnen walked through the door at that point glad to see Luke up but they both noticed how ple he still looked. All three were glad to see the Captains vital signs were on the up.

"Luke perhaps you should rest soem more. I mean..." At that moment Buster was interupted by a beeping sound and then the sound of Lukes voice coming over the comm.

=^= Buster are you there? =^=

Buster shrugged and answered.

"This is Buster... What do you wnat" He added quickly.

=^= Sorry to disturb you, oh great sir but I have to bring down the machine for your inspecion. =^=

"Machine? Ah yhes bring it down here immediately." Buster said.

=^= Yes Oh powerful supervisor =^-= and then the comm cut off.

"So Im a suck up in the mirror universe then" Luke smiled weakly.

At that moment the noise of a transport was heard and the machine whatever was apeared on the deck along with Lukes mirror counterpart!

Buster drew his weapon as did Danny. The counterpart didnt hang about. He rolled along the ground and pulled Luke to the floor. They rolled and got up, the roll knocked off their commbadges and rank pips. For all extensive purposes they were identical.

"Danny which one is the counterpart?" Buster asked.

"I am!" One of the Lukes called.

"No I am!" The other cried.

"I have absolutely no idea!" Danny cried.

“We don’t know enough about Luke to ask them questions!” Buster said.

“We do know what has happened recently though.” He nodded to Buster and they both aimed their weapons at the Lukes and fired at the legs of both of them. It was the lowest setting possible and would normally only caused the person to become extremely hot but this small blast caused the real Lukes leg to start bleeding again. Forcing him to collapse to the ground in pain.

Danny retuned his phaser the fastest and got the counterpart in the chest on maximum stun before he got away.

This was the last Luke saw. The last thing he heard was Dannys and Busters cries of apologies. He passed out from the pain…again.

Thirteen had guessed where his counterpart was even before Wood notified him of it. The bridge of course.

He walked the corridors in the manner he thought a general would walk them, and he casted despising looks at everyone he encountered.

Thirteen scared an officer out of the turbolift he needed to get to the bridge by just being present.

The lift hummed an arrived at the intended destination.

Thirteen got out.

An officer stood up and said: ''Second commanding officer McVaye on the bridge! Well err, I mean...''

The officer fell silent, looking at Thirteen and then to his counterpart, whom had turned his head upon hearing his name.

Thirteen's mirrorself rose from his chair, and he and Thirteen said at the exact same time: ''Who is that imposter?!''

Thirteens opposite pulled out a phaser and shot, Thirteen's heart region glowed lightly orange, his personal shielding device, a useful relic from his times of Borg, had stopped the phaser fire.

Thirteen ducked and evade the next useless shot fired by his opponent. His PSD worked most certainly, but stopping a phaser set to kill draws alot of energy, which is drawn straight from Thirteen's main energysystem.

He made his way to his counterpart, and struck him in his face with a blow of his fist.

It was useless. The may be ex-Borg, but their bodies are still quite sturdy. The only thing that occured om his counterpart's face was a black blue spot at the place Thirteen'd hit.

There was only one thing left to do. Thirteen stretched out his rigt hand out of which two black leathery string flung themselves forward and into his opponents neck.

The battle that followed was indiscribable, from the outside it looked as if both Thirteen and his opposite stood still.

The batlle was fought in the inside of Thirteen's counterpart, in his main systems were the two fighting in a way that only Borg know.

Thirteen had the advantage of knowing himself, and now hacking into himself, while his counterpart had no idea of what to do.

It took less then a minute before Thirteen's counterpart sank down on the floor.

Thirteen cricked his neck and said: ''I am the one and only Daniel Felix McVaye.''

Thirteen dragged his unconscience mirror version back into the turbolift, and via a corridor back to the transport room, where he waited for the others to arrive with their collected mirrorselves.

Buster helped Luke on the bed and began treating his leg once again. Danny ran to Luke's counterpart and made sure that he was stunned.

"Did Luke's counterpart know we were here? He acted so quickly" Buster said, while he was busy treating Luke's leg.

"I don't know. Maybe", Danny answered. "Don't forget that he is originally from the mirror universe, all those counterparts are probably very alert and quick. They have to be, if they want to have any chance of survival. Although your mirror wasn't much of a challenge really.".

"Heh... yeah" Buster muttered. "Let's just hope we won't get bothered again for a while. "Luke needs to heal, and instead we end up shooting his leg".

Danny grinned while tie'ing Luke's counterpart to another bed, next to the mirror Buster. "At least Luke can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that his counterpart isn't a total suck up"...

"That's more than I can say" Buster said, looking up and laughing. And after that he continued treating Luke's leg while Danny made sure the counterparts wouldn't escape...

Fitzpatrick located his mirror and Danny's mirror in Engineering. e decided that it would be best to head to Danny's location, so they could go together.

Fitzpatrick walked to sickbay, where he fond Buster, Luke, and Danny.

"Danny, both of our mirrors are in Engineering. We should go there together," Fitzpatrick said.

"Good idea, we'll have to leave Buster here though. He'd be an easy target for one of the mirrors." Danny said.

"Buster. would you be ok, if I reprogrammed the EMH to guard you? I could revert it back after." Fitzpatrick asked

"Yeah, that's fine with me." Buster replied.

Fitzpatrick worked qickly at modifying the EMH. After about 10 minutes, He told everyone to stand back. A tall figure with brown hair appeared. It had a phaser rifle in its hands, and had it poised ready to attack.

"Hello, welcome to sickbay," The EMH said, in an oddly calm manner.

"If anyone comes into the room, that isn't as listed in the ship's database, stun them. protect Buster at all costs." Fitzpatrick ordered the EMH.

"Affirmative, sir." The EMH responded militantly.

"Computer, deactivate all safety protocols in Sickbay." Fitzpatrick ordered. The computer beeped acknowledgement.

Fitzpatrick and Lohnen left Sickbay, and headed for the turbolift. When they stepped in, Lohnen ordered the lift to Engineering.

Fitzpatrick had never been in his engine room before, so he didn't know the layout. "Computer do not open the doors when the lift arrives at its destination." He pulled out a tricorder, and scanned the room beyond. "Danny, one is at the upper workstation, and the other is about 5 feet from the lift. Aim towards the left side of the door," Fitzpatrick said, as Danny nodded. Both had their phaser's aimed, and set, so Fitzpatrick opened the door. There was his double. As Danny shot, Fitzpatrick hesitated, unable to believe what he saw. After his mirror fell to the floor, thanks to Danny, he shot where his mirror was a moment ago, and blew up a console.

"What the Hell did you do that for?" Danny asked, as he turned to face Fitzpatrick.

"Sorry." Rye responded, shaking his head. Just then, Lohnen, the mirror that is, jumped from the upper level, and landed next to the warp core. Hebegan firing immediately, hitting the lift control panel. Danny and Rye both dove to workstations for cover, and began laying down fire. As Danny took a shot, his rifle was struck by a phaser blast, blowing up, and throwing Danny to the wall.

Rye had hia chance now. He took aim, and hit Lohnen in the head. He screeched, and fell to the floor. Fitzpatrick ran to Danny, and checked his pulse. [glow=red,2,300]NOTHING[/glow]
(=/\=)Fitzpatrick to buster... Medical Emergency. Danny has been hurt, bad. Beam him to Sickbay. NOW!!(=/\=)

Lohnen disappeared ina blue blaze, leaving Fitzpatrick alone with the two incapacitated mirrors. He beamed them both to the brig, and then beamed himself, where he activated the force field. He stepped out of the brig, where he saw two Tiffani Savalis Catfighting OFF:(WOO-HOO)
ON:
He was about to intervene, when one of the Tiffanis knocked the other out. She turned around, and saw Rye standing there. e saw the wedding ring on her finger, and realized it was the good Tiffani.

"Good Job," Rye said, as he ran back to Sickbay to check up on Danny.

[laika]

OFF: Okay, I’m going after Fern.

“Where’s Fern?” J’Leera asked Wood.

“In your quarters,” he answered.

Danny nodded, “You should go down there and check it out. I’ll be over there shortly, but don’t do anything foolish!”

She nodded, not too happy about that and followed everyone out of the transporter room. From the look of Fern’s quarters back on the other Tiger Shark and the weapons that she carried, she knew that she didn’t want to face Fern alone.

Since her phaser didn’t work anymore thanks to certain modifications of the transporter, she first thing she did was to stop by at the armory and retrieve another one. Since she was still wearing Fern’s outfit, everyone assumed that who she was and didn’t bother her. Some of them actually shuddered visibly as she walked by making her wonder what her counterpart had done to them while she was gone. This made her even more determined to stop Fern.

Before she reached her quarters, she ran into an ensign who was heading toward the turbolift. J’Leera didn’t pay her much mind, but as she walked by, she suddenly felt a fist smash into the side of her face. She fell down to the floor very hard. She looked up to see the ensign standing over her with a phaser drawn with a very determined look on her face.

“Ensign! Put down that phaser!” she ordered.

“No, I will not listen to you Fern! I know who you are!” the Ensign shouted, pointing the phaser directly at her.

J’Leera sighed, “No, I am not Fern. I am…”

The ensign frowned, “I don’t believe you. I’m going to call the Captain…”

Just as she reached for her comm. Badge, J’Leera knew that she had to act quickly so she quickly swung out her legs and knocked the ensign to the floor. Her phaser flew out of her hands, which J’Leera quickly scooped up off the floor. In one swift motion, she set the phaser on a light stun and quickly stunned the ensign.

J’Leera regretted doing so, but she knew that the ensign would only cause problems and she would be okay anyway. She put her hand on her mouth where the ensign had hit her. It felt wet and when she drew her hand back, she saw that it was bleeding some. It wasn’t too bad, but already it was starting to swell up. “That’s going to leave a bruise,” she said to herself.

After putting the extra phaser away, she made her way to her quarters where Fern supposedly was. She couldn’t wait to send her back now. Her encounter with the ensign now really made her wonder what Fern had been doing while she was gone.

She waited in one of the empty quarters for a good hour waiting for Danny to show up, when he didn’t she decided to do some recon of the area. The first thing she did was to see if Fern was still there.

“Computer, is anyone inside these quarters?” she asked when she reached the door of her quarters.

“There is one occupant inside,” the computer responded.

“Okay,” she took a deep breath. “Here we go.” She drew her weapon and stood by the door preparing to charge in as soon as it opened. “Computer,” she whispered. “Open doors, authorization Laika Fabrini 2.”

“Authorization acknowledged,” the computer responded and the doors slid open.

She immediately saw Fern, who was asleep on the couch on the far side of the room. J’Leera was somewhat surprised and lifted her phaser to stun her, thinking how easy this was.

Then out of nowhere, a large wooden object came crashing down on her hand, causing her to drop the phaser. Despite the pain, she immediately reached for her other weapon when she was suddenly thrown to the floor with the wind knocked out of her. As she lay gasping on the floor, she looked up to see Fern standing over her with an evil smile on her face.

Fern held out a small device and pointed to the bed. Sure enough it looked like she was sleeping there, but then J’Leera realized that she had been fooled by a holograph.

“Pretty clever wasn’t it?” Fern grinned. “I knew that you’d fall for it. Now, I want you to stay still while my assistant takes care of you.”

As soon as she had said this, one of the slaves from the other ship came over with some sort of rope in his hands. He walked over to her, set her up against the wall and quickly tied her up.
