Precisely ten minutes later Eddington’s voice contacted the Athena from Risa and was piped into Transporter Room One.

=/\= Ready when you are Captain Koraia =/\=

=/\=Stand by,=/\= Koraia said, as she waited for Baxter to arrive.

Stark finished his security check of the room and awaited the transport. Truth be told he hated being in the mirror dimension and even after multiple trips here he still couldn’t stop his fur from standing on end. Things here were just off. He wondered what Michail was doing, as a native of this realm and a wanted man to boot he was probably laying low.

Ghubari paced across the room, her mind fixated on the different variable at work here. “You know how I much I hate this, right?” she commented idly to Stark as she passed near him.

Mirror universes. God how many times had she heard those stories? She followed the captain and Stark into the Transporter room and like Stark, performed a routine search to make sure that the room was at its defaults. She glanced at the Captain as she spoke and nodded with a half sardonic grin on her face. “I think anyone in your position would.” She agreed even though she had not technically been asked.

Koraia simply snorted.

Izzy took up a position near the door and waited patiently for their guest to arrive.

Delaney, Sec

“Yes” Stark remarked drily, “It’s like the universe has this perverse way of searching our inner psyche and dredging up our worst nightmare, next it’ll be a giant child who wants to dress “kitty” in baby clothes… no wait, that’s my nightmare, not yours”.

Ghubari couldn’t help but smirk and gave a grateful look to her chosen-brother for lightening some fo the tension.

When Kaylee arrived, Koraia steeled herself slightly to address her Chief Diplomatic Officer. “So, we find ourselves in the Mirror Universe. I’m not sure how much background you have on it, but suffice to say we’re about to meet a Commander Eddington from the Terran Alliance ship New Hope. They are aware of the Federation and requested to come aboard to meet with me. They seem rather… hospitable so far, but this is not home, and they have the advantage here as well as cloaking technology. What I can also tell you is that prior to entering, I…” Ghubari could feel the warmth in her cheeks that she knew would not be visible on her dark skin. “I had an interaction with the wormhole aliens the Bajorans call The Prophets and then their emissary, Captain Sisko himself, appeared. He told me that the Prophets need us to prevent the merger of this universe with ours. And so here we are.” She held up a hand to both him and Stark defensively. “And yes I took us here without having answers to the many, many questions I’m sure this all brings up, but I’m the Captain and I trust the reasoning, if not the circumstances.” She had not revealed this much on the bridge and it made her uncomfortable to do so. Then again, it was hard to explain how much the experience touched her spiritual side and it was harder to explain the concept of blind faith when she really didn’t believe in it most days.

“And so now we’re going to meet Eddington and up to two members of his crew, or whatever,” Koraia said, turning to face the transporter. “Beam them over,” she instructed the operator.

OOC: James is on LOA but should be back soon. I wanted to brief Kaylee before Eddington came over, so forgive me for just skipping through.
