ON:

Deela left Pike's quarters and went to look for Jack. There was something bothering her, she felt like something was wrong but she didn't know what. "Computer, where is Captain Jack Solomon right now?"

Computer answered, "Captain Solomon is on level 803."

Deela should have known that he would be relaxing in a sauna. He went there a lot lately. By the time she got there, Jack was gone. She asked the computer again and went after him. By the time she got to the next place, Jack was gone again.

Deela decided to find Bremer so she could find out any updates. He heart was racing as she couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong. Along the way, she found an Ensign sitting on the ground. He was nursing his hand, "What happened?"

"I don't know. Someone ran pass me very quickly and shoved me down to the ground with such force. I twisted my wrist and landed on it wrong."

Deela helped him up, "Okay, go to sickbay and get that taken care of."

He got up and started to walk away. Deela continued to OPS. It was a weird feeling to see hardly a soul walking around the place. It was more than weird, it was eerie. As she turned the corner, she thought she had seen Pike which she knew was impossible because she had just left them not to long ago. She quickened her walk and as she turned another corner, Pike was not there.

Deela wondered if her mind was playing tricks. She still couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. She got into the turbolift and when the door to OPS opened, the whole place looked like a war zone. She saw remnants of phaser fire and when she stepped off the turbolift, her stomach sank. She saw two of her fellow crewmembers and Bremer.

"Oh God!" was all she could say. She couldn't tell at first who was alive or dead. The site in front of her was horrible. Bremer looked like he got it the worst. She ran over to him and bent down, feeling for a pulse in his neck. He was breathing and had a pulse. They needed immediate help.

"Admiral T'Lar to Sickbay. I have a medical emergency in OPS. Admiral Bremer, Vice Admiral K'Temoc and Lieutenant Archer have been badly hurt. I need them beamed to Sickbay immediately!"

K'Temoc waived his hand to say 'no'. "No, I'm fine, I'll remain here." He stood up and looked around at the mess.

Deela huffed, "Seriously?" She reluctantly changed her order, "Sickbay, belay that order. Vice Admiral K'Temoc is staying. Get Bremer and Archer to sickbay, fast." She looked at K'Temoc with disbelief, " You are just like your brother, stubborn."

Deela watched as Bremer and Archer disappeared. She went into her office and sat down, putting her elbows on the table and her hands covering her face. She needed to think. All her mind could do was think about where both mirror Pike and Bremer. Also, who else from that universe was there. Frustrated, she slammed her fists on the table. She was angry and somewhat afraid that Jack might be in danger once more. Before leaving, she remembered that she had a small medkit and brought it out. She set it down by K'Temoc, "Here. Use it...or not." Knowing him, she figured he wouldn't use it. She didn't wait for him to respond. She just left.

Deela made her way to sickbay. She needed to find out if Bremer was alive and how bad his injuries were. Even more, she needed to know what happened.

K'Temoc remained in Ops alone for a few minutes. He tapped in several commands at Tactical One, then at at Communications, Docking Control, Engineering, and finally the Master Situation Holo-Display in the middle of the room. Then he walked over to Communications and called Beta shift to come up and take over.

Ensigns Lux and Tezu were the first to arrive. Tezu, the Edosian took Tactical One while Lux took Ops.

"You alright? I heard you'd been wounded too." Lux asked K'Temoc.

"Yeah, was superficial. Quick change of uniform and I'm good, thanks." K'Temoc replied as he glanced away.

In Sickbay, Archer was laying on a biobed having his wounds and burns treated. Mike was on another bed. He had broken ribs, a concussion, cuts, bruises, and burns. "Just treat the ribs and concussion..." Mike said to Doctor McLintock.

Deela walked in to just in time to hear what Mike said, "Really? I swear you and your brother are alike. And after he the doctor treats you, then it's business as usual?" She was clearly irritated, something new everyone would have to get used to.

Mike looked around. He had assumed K'Temoc would be in Sickbay too, but he wasn't.

"I don't like this." McLintock said as Mike sat up.

Mike looked at T'Lar, "I think my 'Mirror' beamed back to his universe, but I suspect there's still others on board. We need to get to Ops."
