Barclay looked at him in horror, raised a finger to make a point and then subsided with an audible sigh of resignation.

She was anxious to catch up but the captain understood that she couldn’t will anything into being. Well, unless she suddenly got the Prophets to chime in, but even that would be an iffy outcome. “Do what you need to, Commander, to keep the ship in a functional piece,” she told R’han, settling into her chair finally. She was aware that she had the phaser rifle still, so rested it against the side of her seat, one hand on top to grab it if necessary. She shot Barclay a slightly wary glance, but the empath sadi nothing, just keeping her mind open to what was happening around her.

There were no guarantees in war. He would be in even more trouble if the Cyrano got a few shots in and killed a crew member because he set the yield too low. “By your command.” He decreased the yield to 28%. Even a direct hit shouldn’t destroy the ship.

Barclay mouthed “25%” at R’han with a slightly pained look on his face as he mentally calculated the costs of repair.

“What can you tell me about this Rura Penthe, Mister Barclay?” she asked.

Barclay grimaced a bit but then warmed to his topic. “After Intendant Kira Nerys became slightly indisposed, Intendant B’Elana of Ardana rose to power and used Rura Penthe as a base to try and replicate the talents of a being known as Kes. In the overthrow of the Cardassian/Klingon alliance, Kes played no small part in ripping an armada of their ships to scrap by the use of her deranged mind and her hatred of the people who killed her love, Neelix.”

Can’t make things simple here, clearly, Ghubari mused.

He suddenly realised that he was reading like a bad Mills and Boon convention and focused himself. No one has seen B’Elana but intel says that the lights are still on in the lab and someone is continuing the experiments. It has a sophisticated shield system and numerous nasty automated gun stations in and around the complex which is carved out of the planets bedrock. We have a deep-cover agent on the ground there but they’re not going to be able to do much to help you.” Barclay had been flicking through files on the console, “He a dead ringer for your CMO as it turns out”.

“Really…” Ghubari said, raising her brows and gazing at Barclay with a mixed expression. Ah well,

“It seems as though people having doubles is not particularly an uncommon thing at the moment,” Luka said softly.

Luka, xo

Koraia cast her gaze towards Luka. “We should assume for the most part that the likelihood will be high for much of the crew. Better than being too surprised.”

“What’s our ETA?” Koraia called out, mostly to whomever could answer the question.

“So…” Ghubrari mused to the whole bridge. Half her senior crew was now back at Risa and they would have to come up with a plan they could execute as is. “We need to get the shields down Rura Penthe without putting ourselves in the line of fire. Ideas?”

“Can’t we just pretend we are this universe’s version of us and order them to lower the shields?” R’han said simply
