“Captain I just received a transmission it’s a single word. ‘Here’.” Chin told her a little confused.
Mira nodded feeling very relieved they hadn’t missed her contact. “send back ‘now.’” She told him as her hands gripped the bar of the console to tightly. She was nervous, worried about Jason and Kevin. The main screen flickered from the view of space to a black furred female Caitian giving them a toothy grin as she looked them over.
“Tis good to be seen, spots. I have Raktajino and chocolate!” her voice purred.
Mira smirked at Isabel her long time friend. “ you mean you have any left with the lot of you in one place?” At the woman’s laughter Mira gave her a nod. “I’ll be right over.” Then the screen communication was cut to return to the view of space again as Mira walked to the doors.
“Captain where are you going?” Montgomery asked just as 5 different ships appeared on the screen.
Mira pointed “the larger Klingon ship” she told him with a raised eyebrow.
Montgomery shook his head “not by yourself.” By the void what was she getting into now.
Mira frowned thinking of taking Vaytoc with her but he was watching the kids. “fine, I’ll find someone.” She told him with a laugh as she walked out thinking who would be the best? It would have to be a woman because Isabel wasn’t all that fond of males.
“K’ner!”
It didn’t take her long to find her doctor crawling out of the Jefferies tubes. “Do you have anything pressing to do right now?” Mira asked with a smile.
K’ner slowly shook her head no, knowing something was now afoot.
“oh good I need someone to protect me from raktajino and chocolate. Oh and a group of crazy women.” Mira tucked her arm in to K’ner’s arm as they walked to the Transport room “do you have a weapon on you?” Mira asked her.
“Always," K'ner answered promptly. 'I am a weapon,' was her thought immediately after. Along with, 'this should be interesting.'
“Good, I don’t think we will need it but you never know. They are a bunch of wild and crazy women. Assassins I should say. They are amazing spies. I just hope they got the information i needed.”
"Birds of a feather," K'ner muttered quietly as they mounted the pad.
Standing on the transport pad Mira tapped her commbadge “two to beam over.”
{Crimson Honor}
Mira nodded to the transporter technician. The dark-haired woman was tall and had muscle on top of muscle.
“The captain is waiting for you.” She waved a hand to the door way.
Mira gave a nod she knew the way to what should be the mess hall. It was really more like party central of the ship….. well maybe the galaxy.
“Hopefully we can get some information before we are too far into this mission. “ Mira told her.
K'ner nodded, keeping to her usual silent wingman routine, scanning ahead and behind.
{Mess hall}
Walking in Mira heard laughter and music playing. Thankful it wasn’t to loud.
“Isbethal” Mira clasped forearms with the woman “it’s good to see you but really we need to start meeting on better occasions. This is my doctor. K’ner.”
Isbethal smiled then answered Mira “that is so true both of you have a seat. I have much to tell you.”
As the Captain turned, K'ner fell into step, scanning the interesting woman. 'So this is the real Isbethal then... Interesting...' she thought as she sat, slightly askew on the chair so she could move quickly with less chance of getting tangled up.
The table was laden with chocolates from all over the galaxy, baked goods of all kinds, fruits and many things Mira had never seen. She poured a cup of raktajino and took a few chocolates and cookies. “what have you found out?”
“Kevin and your baby was transferred to a larger Terran ship they are headed to an Orion space port before returning to the mirror universe. I was able to come up with two transmitters. They open the wormhole to the mirror universe.” She slid one to Mira. “that will get you in and out. This one is going to be replicated for star fleet.“
Mira nodded. “Do you know why?”
As the Captain asked her question, K'ner reached across and palmed the device, studying it while she listened. This was progress at the very least.
“Orders came from the emperor himself. Why? I haven’t frond out anything but I did hear Your twin over there had botched a hit contract on him.”
“Great.” Mira hissed.
K'ner decided to let that tidbit slide for now and returned to the earlier info. "Do you know if they're being kept together? If the XO knows their son is even on the same vessel?"
Something else occurred to K'ner about the sequence of events as she continued, a bit slower than before. "Are they leverage for our Captain, or this errant twin??"
Isbethal frowned “they are on the same ship. When we was able to scan, Lance was unconscious so I don’t know if they are keeping him that way or he just hadn’t regained consciousness at that time. As to the Angel of death. I don’t think she would care if the kid was alive or dead she killed her own brother. But I am not sure it is leverage on Mira either. I think possibly that child is either evidence that a human mated an alien or to keep Lance under their control. If they had wanted Mira or the other kids why not just take them when they took Lance?”
Mira frowned swinging her leg back and forth as she thought. “because they couldn’t get a lock on me I was in the room with TC. He messes with transporter locks. The kids were asleep in their bedroom under a dampening field. Only command staff has the code to lower it.”
Isbethal nodded her understanding “there is a rebellion going on in the mirror universe Terrans against any group still standing. We have developed an EV Suit that can change the bio readings of an individual. Each space station , colony and planet under there control has scanners. You will need to wear one and have a disguise. As much as I love your hair color you will need to change it and maybe lose the spots.”
Mira frowned her kids were going to freak out if she did that.
Isbethal continued “ So what did you do with Carnell’s body? Airlock?” she gave an evil grin.
Narrowing her eyes at the very idea that she could comment cold blooded murder “ he is in a detention cell.”
It was Isbethal's turn to from as Mira popped a chocolate into her mouth. “that man left you for dead! How could you not kill him?”
Mira shrugged. “I am a captain and star fleet officer.”
Isbethal shook her head “ to get your husband and son back Mira you’re going to need to shed blood.”
Mira nodded slowly she knew that but there was lines. She had to walk between them. She took the pad Isbethal handed her “this man should be able to shed some light on what’s going on. He is at these coordinates. You will need to convince him to talk to you.”
Mira raised an eyebrow. “when you say convince him what kind of payment are we talking about?”
Mira looked over the information. He was a Orion. 45 years old and didn’t look pleasant at all. When no one answered her Mira looked up.
Isbethal was frowning “ your going to need to beat the information out of him then kill him. He will end up telling people to much information you can’t afford to get out. Like your in this area of space or you are headed over the to the mirror universe.”
“I see, “ Mira told then while she handed the PADD over to K’ner and started to rise from her chair “well ladies if there is nothing else we need to be moving. “ she headed back to the transporter technician to beam back to the ship. “any idea how we are going to get information from an Orion?” she whispered to K’ner as they where beamed back to her ship.
K'ner kept her voice low as well as she watched their path beyond her HUD. "Depends on how long we have..."
{Harbinger}
“We can’t kill him so I guess we will need to take him with us.” Mira rubbed her forehead then tapped her commbadge “Montgomery return to the per-set coordinates. Best possible speed.
