Looking at the little device in his fingers, he thought about the building process. “Data Transfer has been completed.” The computer announced, Reira tapping the notification away as he pinned it to his uniform above his comms badge. It was bigger and slightly bulkier than he expected, but the power requirements were beyond what he previously calculated due to the biometric data. Activating it, he selected the only profile loaded. wthin seconds he was engulfed in a hologram and he looked in the mirror, the device functioned.

He stared at his reflection, it wasn’t him. It was Leo Akaba, his father. His abuser. One of the few people he genuinely wanted to harm and one of two individuals he believed deserved the agony of assimilation considering the pain and suffering he inflicted upon so many for his own and Section 31’s agendas. The dark heart of Starfleet that played with them all like a cat with a ball of yarn, manipulating events in their favour. His desire to destroy them had fuelled him through the years of pain his father put him through, the medical experimentation he was forced to endure. Switching off the device now that it worked, he recharged it fully and snuck into a Jefferies Tube, crawling his way through and focusing on the task at hand.

Clambering out onto Deck 25, Reira ducked into one of the crew quarters which wasn’t being used and began accessing the computer once he switched on his holographic cloak, a device he invented that allowed him to impersonate other people if he had significant amounts of information about them, it had to be accurate including their biometric data. He only had all that information for one person currently, his own father. Leo Akaba, Captain of the USS Lanius, a Section 31 Refit of the Galaxy-Class designed for tactical missions with lots of experimental weaponry and technology such as a phased cloaking device and transphasic weapons.

He saw the reflection in the glass, he wasn’t 5‘8 anymore but 6‘3 and had black hair instead of lilac but those dark blue eyes remained, colder and more hostile. No nanoprobes this time, it would be something of a giveaway as he masked his location to the one Leo last used to access Section 31’s database, entering in Leo’s command code at the LCARS command prompt system brought up the hidden Section 31 interface. “Please enter extended command code.” The computer requested, Reira hating that voice. It was on Leo’s ship too… “Akaba-6-5-9-Alpha-4-2-Beta-1-7-5.” Reira spoke in Leo’s voice, placing Leo’s hand on the console and allowing the machine to scan his iris.

“Command Authorization Accepted.” The computer stated, the cloaking sytem worked and he had about… 50 minutes left. Tapping on the database search function, he began his instructions, making the computer search for the following subjects.

Commander Akorem Nevin.
James McHarrie.
Reman Imps.
John McHarrie.

Watching as the search ran, Reira felt a little excited but also nervous, watching as the results came on-screen.

The results of the searches came back showing the bios of each officer.

The information about the Reman Imps was limited. They were genetically programed small creatures that could be programmed to carry out specific tasks. Amongst their unique abilities was a telepathic effect of forgetting that you had seen it as soon as you looked away. Unprogrammed Imps also known as Ferral Imps simply wreak havoc eating and or destroying anything breeding asexually.

Section 31 had developed a technology to nullify the effect of the imps telepathic field and had dispatched a team aboard the USS Semmelweiss to steal an imp from the Romulans. The team consisted of three of the Semmelweiss crew - Commander James McHarrie, Lieutenant Commander Akorem Nevin, CMO and Commander Matthew Grimshaw who had been assigned to the ship as a mission specialist for their cover assignment.

The mission was unsuccessful due to the stolen imp breaking out of containment and the Semmelweiss had to be destroyed.

After the mission James McHarrie became CTO of the Viking bearing the marine rank of Major. Akorem Nevin had become CMO of the USS Asimov. Grimshaw had been left behind after reportedly whistle blowing to the Romulans.
