Timeline: MD1 1030hrs, Following 'Questions'
ON:
Once K’Wor returned to Ops he found his father standing at Tactical Two with a serious expression on his face. K’Temoc was standing beside him.
“Everything okay?” K’Wor asked.
K’Temoc and Mike shared a look before Mike replied, “Some over-zealous JAG Officer has managed to get Starfleet Command to sign off on transferring my mirror universe duplicate to Earth for additional questioning before trying to send him back to his universe.”
“That’s good right, sending him back?” K’Wor replied.
“Incursions by people from the Mirror Universe has been going up as of late, there’s no guarantee the he wouldn’t return.” K’Temoc replied.
“Not to mention, the chances of him escaping while in route to Earth is high. They’ve never dealt with him before, they don’t know what he’d capable of.” Mike added.
“Can we send a Security detachment along, or a ship to escort them?” K’Wor asked.
“No, the orders are clear, the JAG Officer is providing his own Security.” Mike replied. “They are due in tomorrow aboard the USS Kuznetsov tomorrow about noon.”
“After the Vesta leaves.” K’Wor replied. “If you want me to stay...”
“No, you need to get back to the Academy, you and Becca are already late for the start of your second year.” Mike added with a smirk.
Mike tapped the comm button, “General Jackson, Commander Lokran, report to Ops.” Mike then glanced over at T'Lar. "Deela, can you join us please?"
Deela unintentionally heard what was being said. This was information that wouldn't settle well with Alex Harrison, knowing how she felt about the man. He was one of the few people that terrified Alex. Deela was lost in thought for a moment until Mike addressed her. She looked up from what she was doing and nodded, "Yes, if course."
Mike handed Deela a PADD with all the information he’d been provided.
Jackson just finished reviewing the progress reports of the battalions that needed to recertify for combat. He made his way to Ops as soon as he got it. He walked over to the Admiral when he saw him. "Good morning Admiral Bremer. What's going on?"
R'nard was next to come to Ops. "I am here, waiting for your orders, sirr." he said.
Mike nodded to both men as they arrived. “Gentleman, we have two issues that have arisen. I’m sure you both have seen the earlier report regarding our guest Kratz, the Changling. We’ve already sent a message to the Dominion, but it’ll be at least another twenty hours before they receive it then another day to receive their reply. Right now, Counselor Delair is looking after him, but Kratz has already shown the ability to appear as anyone of us and get into secure areas. I don’t want to lock down the Station, but we need to increase security.” Mike paused a moment.
“Commander, increase patrols in all vital areas and the Promenade. Founder protocols are in effect. I have Ramata’tar on leading the Security detail escorting Kratz right now. I want you to shadow him as well. I don’t believe he’ll give us trouble, but trouble might look for him.”
“I don’t mean to question anything, but do you think Jem’Hadar is the best option in escorting a Founder?” K’Temoc asked.
“Kratz says he doesn’t know what the Dominion or the Founders are. He seems to be one of the One Hundred Changlings the Dominion sent out into the Galaxy, like Odo was. We know Ramata’tar is loyal to them, it’s encoded into his DNA, but I also believe he’s loyal to us as well.” Mike replied.
“The other situation is much different. I know you’re all aware of my Mirror Universe duplicate, he’s been sitting in a cell in the maximum security brig aboard the Station for several years now. However, that’s about to change. We’ve received word from Starfleet Command that a Sector JAG Officer is on his way to the Station to pick him up and take him to Earth for questioning and then he’s to be sent back to the Mirror Universe.” Mike informed everyone.
“Sent back? How?” K’Temoc asked.
“Like you said earlier, and Fleet Admiral Sevlek also said, incursions from the Mirror Universe into our own have been increasing, it’s possible Starfleet has found a way to send these people back.” Mike replied. “That’s not my concern though. My concern is for my Duplicate. Over the years he’s proven to be ruthless, violent, untrustworthy. He’s a skilled warrior. If this JAG Officer and his Security team aren’t prepared, he’ll escape. We’ve offered to help, offered to escort, but they have refused, so we’ll beef up security here and during the transfer. General, I want a Marine Detail assigned to the Maximum Security Brig at all times until the transfer takes place. Since there are transport inhibitors active within the Brig and on that deck, we will have to move my Duplicate. I want a Marine escort for that as well.”
"Yes Sir. I will have a platoon assigned to the area, and I will have a company on QRF in case they are needed. Is there a time table?", Jackson said.
“They’ll be here tomorrow around noon aboard the Intrepid class USS Kuznetsov.” Mike replied.
Jackson spoke as he started moving. "I will get on it Sir."
“Wait a moment.” Mike said to Jackson. “Have you spoken to Captain Magbangan yet?”
"Sir, I am about to have a meeting with her to tell her the good news.", Jackson answered.
Mike smirked, "Very well." He looked around. "Any other questions?"
When no one spoke up, Mike added, "All right, let's get to it. Dismissed."
