=/\=We’ve lost consoles. Luka, take down that ship! I’m going to dump the core if I can, so make sure you clear the blast radius. =/\= Koraia said, her tone utterly flat. It wouldn’t be a great surprise that she was loathe to do this under their current circumstances, but so far hadn’t been given an alternative.

Fl. Captain Koraia, CO

Luka turned to the nav and weapons. It was a simple shuttle, so they didn’t have much in the way of weapons. =^=The baby is safe=^= she quickly messaged back, then looked to those in the shuttle with her. “Let us see what we can do about this hacker…”

Her determination didn’t last long, though, as a wave of psychic force hit the Laleri and caused her to physically double over. Her species wasn’t generally receptive to the empathic and telepathic signals from other species, but whatever this was, it was strong. She pushed through the sudden sensation, trying to fight through it, before she stopped. That was a familiar presence. The Captain. Instead of fighting the searching force, she added her small amount of empathic sense to the searching, doing a small part in assisting.

Luka, XO

Orvos then remembered he hadn’t said anything to the other shuttle or the Athena. He established an open to com to the both of them. =/\=Legen to Athena and shuttle. There is a relay station affixed to the aft busard collectors. It appears to be receiving signal from somewhere. Scanning to detect a ship or shuttle nearby and I have a plan. But if we can’t find a ship nearby, you’ll need to destroy that relay.=/\=

-Lt. Orvos Legen, CE

Luka turned to her double, who presumably was sensing the same signals she was. She knew she was. The organ that gave the Galdori their unique empathic abilities with one another still worked on mirror-universe Galdori. She handed over the control of the shuttle to the nearest available Starfleet Officer and went over to Luka. “I know you feel it. Despite our universe of difference, I can still feel your emotions. Will you help me help Ghubari Koraia?”

Luka, XO

Luka nodded, “Of course.”

Ghubari bent her head and leant her aid to the search as well.

Athena’s warp core ejected out into space…

a split second later a torpedo registered on the sensors heading straight towards the warp core. If it hit before the core could clear Athena they were going to be destroyed.

R’han stumbled on the bridge. He clearly had come from a run from the shuttle bay in time to see everything start to go wrong.

R’han

OOC: oh, didn’t realize we were landing. I thought we were going after the off-shore vessel to shoot it :P

• Miriam

OOC We can leave that up to the Cyrano if you want to proceed from this point, I’ll leave it up to those on board.
Ian

OOC: okay, guess we’re going to the bridge.

Luka stayed in the Shuttle with luka and ghubari, the three focusing on the search.

  short

Through their shared connection they found Parce’s mind and as the Bridge pinpointed the location of the cloaked ship they all discerned Parce’s purpose, to pull in the Cyrano as a shield against their inevitable demise.

Luka assumed that Ghubari had gotten that detail from the link, but she kept her concentration on maintaining the connection. She was quiet as she sat in the co-pilot’s seat, watching Luka and Ghubari with a curious expression. She felt a barrage of emotions from her double, more emotions than she had sensed from anyone in the past several months. The fact that Luka was the first Laleri she had met in months was a big part of that, and it was honestly really nice to feel, even if the emotions weren’t entirely positive.

Luka felt a bit of fear right now, scared for the safety of her crew, but she was sailing over it with determination and guts. She also felt a sense of thrill, enjoying the adrenaline rush that the fear was giving her.

Luka, XO

The psychic link was broken in a short-lived wave of heat and pain as Parce died and was disintegrated.

Luka breathed a sigh of relief. She looked to the natives of this universe. “Well, I suppose if we have the time, I would love to get to know you, who I am… who you are in this version of reality. What is Galdor like in this universe?” Luka asked, sitting up in her seat. Her fear was gone, replaced by an eagerness that she couldn’t help but leak to her mirror counterpart. She looked at Ghubari. So like her Ghubari and yet different. “Without Starfleet, how did the two of you meet?”

She really hoped they’d have a moment for a brief chat before the next emergency hit them.

Luka, XO

Luka looked at Ghubari and smiled, “It’s a very long story that starts with a spy posing as a bodyguard for a diplomat’s daughter and then she discovers the ruse and reveals that she herself is an undercover agent using her Father’s contacts”.

Ghubari nodded with a wry smile “If Daddy only knew”.

Luka chuckled at the story, gaining a small smile of her own. “I am afraid my own is much simpler. I was assigned to the position of XO of the Athena and met Ghubari as my Captain upon my arrival. I would love the opportunity to learn more about this universe, although I know our time is limited. And I respect that there is much you likely would wish to keep secure, so I will not pry.”

Luka, XO

OOC: just remember Luka’s species doesn’t use contractions :P (“It is”, not “It’s“)
- Miriam

OOC Got it

“I would also like to learn about yours” Luka replied. “This is your ship and we are far from where we started. Will we be returning to Risa?”

Junior Gamemaster Conspiracy Theorist

Luka wasn’t sure about the answer to that. “Presumably. Would you like to accompany me to the bridge so we can find out the answer to that and also assess the situation more accurately?”

“I have heard rumor that Galdor is only inhabited by two of the five races that were born on her soil, and that it remains staunchly independent of the other powers within this universe. Is that accurate?” Luka added, shifting in her seat, then getting up. “In my reality, we joined the United Federation of Planets nearly a century ago.”

Luka, XO

Luka moved towards the exit, “I think the bridge would be the logical next step. You are remarkably well informed about our life here, where did you hear these rumors?”
