Tucking the kids in bed, Mira made her way to the bridge.

“Captain, we are on course. And I have everything under control here.” Montgomery told her. He was a little surprised she was still awake. “You ok” he asked her.

Mira shrugged her shoulder. “I hope I am doing the right thing. I feel like the evidence wasn’t completely clear as to where Kevin is. All I could find out was scans reported a human male on that ship. The other humans was clearly from the Mirror universe. The ship has the ID had ISS standing for Imperial Starship. “

“If there were other humans on the ship, how could they tell them apart?” Montgomery ask her as she walked from console to console.

“The mirror universe Terrans have a genetic trait called photophobia. Not sure why they scanned for it. That is also why we will be slowly lowering the lights so we will all become accustomed to the lower lights the Terrans prefer. There are a few differences between the universes.” She turned around quickly, to look at him. “What if they took him somewhere else? What if I am not there when he needs me?”

Montgomery frowned. “Mira, Kevin can take care of himself. We are following the lead we got on your son. He can’t protect himself. Stop seconded guessing yourself. In all likelihood the same people that took your son took Kevin.”

Mira swallowed hard. “But why? What could Kevin have done to catch the eye of the Emperor of the Terrans? This isn’t about me. Why take him if they wanted me?”

Montgomery nodded. “Right, they took him right off the ship. They could have taken you just as easily. So Kevin was the target. Not sure about the baby. Maybe to control Kevin.” He guessed.

Mira bite her lip. “I don’t like any of this.” She checked the ship heading. They had just changed course to Orion space.

“I love the size of these, room to move!” Chbet spread their arms as they crawled.

K’ner nodded. “Yup. Klingons had to have room to maneuver, more than Starfleet standard spaces.”

They eventually reached their destination, examining a nexus of conduits. There was room for them both to get close.

K’ner scrunched up her face as if she’d just eaten something distasteful. “You were right. This could be a problem. We’d lose several systems at once instead of being able to isolate one from the others.”

Chbet pointed to the junction, and to the PADD, showing what needed to be done. “But we’ll have to take them all down initially to start re-routing but we could bring each back up as soon as each can be re-connected, so the downtime would be minimal for the first ones with more priority.”

“Who needs life support… really?” K’ner looked over at Margo, who smiled as he came up behind them.

Chbet pointed at the bag lying nearby. “I brought everything we’d need, just need the clearance.”

“Let me clear it with Montgomery. Best to get it done before we get into Orion space. We’re kind of waiting for something to happen, knowing something will, we just don’t know when. Best be as prepared as we can be.”

Chbet nodded as K’ner contacted upstairs to coordinate the maintenance.

In the time being, while travelling to Orion space Ech’am being back with his crew, with many additions sought out his brother Awal. Battle with one’s own Kin always settled his nerves anytime he was stepping into any situation. It cleared his mind, and would at the same time give them some room to talk. After all Ech’am did leave without saying anything, shortly after meeting his brothers child. Klingons are known for their grudges. He may just have some explaining to do so it would be better to get this out of the way. Especially since they are not the only klingons on board. This may turn out to set the stage for who is in charge out of all klingons on this ship.


{Harbinger, Bridge}

Mira stood staring at the main screen on the bridge. She tapped her Fingers waiting

Montgomery frowned as he looked down at the screen “ Seem K’ner found some problem in the nexus of conduits . She is requesting repair time.”

Mira glanced at the coordinates. This was the right spot. “all stop. Continue scans. “ She looked to Chan. “Wait for a one word transmission. “

Chin raised an eyebrow but turned around in his set..

“Captain, are we meeting someone?” Montgomery asked with a little frown.

Mira nodded slowly “you could say that more then one person. “ she gave a sigh then turned around “Information. We need to get more facts before crossing over. Give K’ner permission to make her repairs. Priority on defense systems. “

K'ner signaled Chbet and Margo to begin, with a priority on which systems to restore as soon as that trib was set.

On the bridge, silent alarms displayed in a group, then each changed to resolved as each system was restored. Overall it wasn't long for the engineer, but as engineers, and in a combat mission, every second seemed so much longer.

With nervous energy the trio watched as energy pulsed. With no further alerts to any of Chbet's tests, they signaled the bridge to resume normal operations and engineering to retake control of systems monitoring. With nods to each other they began their retreat from the maintenance space...
