Timeline: Current, 4 hours til the Essex's arrival

ON:

Mike was looking over daily reports. He was surprised to see one of his Marine Pilots had been put on report by Colonel Sosuski before his transfer. Insubordination was a serious charge. Since there wasn't a new Squadron CO aboard yet, the Admiral forwarded the report to Colonel Highsmith.

Mike stood from his desk, walked over to the food slot, and ordered a raktijno. He looked at one of his wall displays to check the time. The USS Essex was due to arrive in a few hours. Since all was quiet, for now, he decided to return to his quarters for a quick nap before his new XO arrived.



K`Wor looked up from the Tactical One station to see his father leaving his office and walk into the starboard side turbolift.

As the ranking Security Officer, the young Acting-Ensign was also now the Acting-Chief of Security with Captain Harrison now in her new position and the new Chief of Security not yet arrived. The USS Essex would be arriving soon, and K`Wor wanted to be sure that everything was `ship shape` before their arrival.

He'd already checked the duty roster, had all small arms aboard the Starbase and attached ships verified, and was now finishing up long and short range sensor sweeps. Now, he needed to something he wasn't looking forward to.

K`Wor logged out of the Tactical One station and nodded to the Duty Officer as he left Ops. A few minutes later he arrived at the main brig, a maximum security facility. Checking on Prisoners 001 and 002 was never fun for anyone on security duty, but especially for K`Wor.

The young man first walked over to the security station in the brig to check logs. "Evening Chief. All quiet?"

The older Andorian Chief Petty Officer on duty nodded, "Aye. Of course he was talking to himself some," he pointed to Prisoner 002 "but otherwise all is quiet.

K`Wor nodded as he looked at both cells. Prisoner 002, a mass murder, was sound asleep. Prisoner 001 on the other hand was not. As soon as he heard K`Wor's voice he rolled over and sat up on the bed in his cell. "Well well, if it isn't my son..."

"I'm not YOUR son." K`Wor replied, coldly.

"DNA says otherwise." The prisoner replied with a smirk.

"DNA might say we're related, but I'm not from your mirror universe." Replied the young name.

"That's true...if you were my son I'd slit your throat for disrespect." His smirk faded as his expression changed to one of anger.

"Perhaps youd try, but YOU are the one in the holding cell." K`Wor flashed a smirk as he turned away walked toward the door.

"You smart-ass p'tok!" The prisoner called out as Acting-Ensign K`Wor walked out the door.

It was always tough dealing with Prisoner 001...Mike K`Wor Bremer of the mirror universe. An exact mirror of his father. The young man just shook his head as he entered the turbolift to return to Ops.
