Starfleet Command,
While On route to the U.S.S. Solace my shuttle craft has picked up some anomalous readings in sector 476 near the Themala system, my first set of scans indicate that the anomaly maybe remnants of chronometric particles. Chronometric particles are not naturally accruing which means that they were artificially made by a ship, Long range and short range scans show no signs of a warp or Impulse Trail, I will Continue my scans and Report any more Data that I collect.
Gather what information you can then join us at the operation site. If you do locate a ship, do not engage. If the ship is creating chronometric particle then you'll need more than a shuttlecraft to handle it.

“Acknowledge Solace,
Leaving the Anomaly area and heading straight to the pre-set location of Solace at maximum speed, sending all relevant data collected, please note Lt JG Alexander that the isotopes of the chronometric particles are decaying at a fast rate, I crossed checked the rates with Starfleet Command, it has the same decay rate the Enterprise E found upon exciting the Chronometric rupture at Sector 001 while engaging the Borg, Sensors have not picked up any signs of Borg Technology, but my sensor have detected an old Ion trail emitting a ton of gamma particles similar to 23rd century impulse engines, It’s all very strange. Ill continue to have the shuttle run the sensors, E.T.A. is about 4 hours from Solace.”
Ensign Kaiser out.

“Solace!? Can you Respond! {Explosion, in the background}I am under attack, an old constitution class vessel emerged out of the Themela Nebula, my sensors were unable to detect it until it existed the nebula. They are targeting my E {large bang and static}, I am trying to evade! I am sending all relevant data, request help! I am going to try to {large explosion}

{Distress signal} (Static)
Solace this is Puddl (explosion) per I am sending you my coordinates now, I am at Maximum possible speed towards your location, 10 minutes till transporter range, I doubt I can make it that long. {tansmission lost}

The enemy ship keeps targeting my engines, my shields are low, can’t take many more hits, my phasers banks are spent, and I have one last torpedo, {small Explosion}I am Initiating Scatter pattern Kirk Epsilon II, Scanning the target for anything I can use to give myself more time.
My Scans indicate that there is a coil leakage in the Nacelles, if I can ignite the leakage, I might be able to by the time needed to reach the Solace or transporter range. “Dam it! The only thing I have with enough power is my warp core”.
{Transmission}
“Solace, this puddle jumper, I am about to attempt a pin-point Warp core ejection, if this succeed s, the enemy vessel should be disabled, but I will need assistance from another shuttle to tow me to the Solace, (Explosion) Dam it! Here we go! Ploting course” {transmission ended}
Scanners indicate massive internal explosions inside the Nacelles, Bussard collectors are about to Ignite causing a severe chain reaction, Punching Impulse engines to Max, plotting escape Vector now!
{Transmission}
"Solace, Puddle Jumper, Enemy contact is disabled, Scans indicate they are crippled in space, and are venting life support, Require Assistance over."
"Also Solace send word to Lt JG Marc Alexander, he might be interested in seeing, that this was also a Mirror cross over incident, the ship is from the Terran Empire"
Running onto the bridge, PADDs falling left and right, Lt Alexander runs to the 1st Officer seat.
"Sorry about the delay Captain, had some Klingon opera going pretty loud while writing up an article on neurological impacts of dreams as analyzed by telepaths on combat veterans while-"
"While that's all fine and good, Lt., I'll read it later. Tell me what we are facing here."
Alexander nodded and scanned his command panel, "Ensign Kaiser was correct in his assessment of the ship. It is indeed from the Mirror Universe. It also appears to be from an earlier time. Long range sensors show that the chrono particles are beginning to dissipate."
Captain Mikey gave a hard stare at the view screen. "Suggestions?"
"Captain, I suggest we get that ship back through the disturbance. Although we are not directly affected by the Mirror Universe, I would prefer not to violate the Temporal Directive even loosely. Due to the instability of the disturbance, I don't recommend towing the ship. We need to board it, get it running, and set it on a course straight back."
Captain Mikey gave a long sigh, "Boarding an enemy ship, commandeering it, and sending it back. So much for taco night."
Alexander smiled, "I was hoping for quesadilla's myself. Ensign Kaiser, report to the transporter room. Security, we need a full detachment. Set all weapons on stun. Captain, although I highly advise you not to accompany us, I take it you'll be coming anyway?"

"Yes sir, once the Doctor releases me from sickbay ill meet you at the transporter beam, I do recommend we dress the part of our mirror counterparts so we can blend in at first and take them by surprise."

"Good suggestion. Ensign Patsy, get to work on replicating some uniforms. About time for us to show off our arms. As for getting released, we've got 6 hours before the disturbance closes, so that means you have 2 hours to get better."

Ensign Keogh, newly assigned to the Solace, stepped onto the bridge of a deep space vessel for the first time. The control center was a whirling dervish of motion as officers dashed to various stations.
He felt certain that Solace was a living being; her breath the whispers of scanners and astrometric equipment circling him. Her very pulse could be felt as her engines transmitted a constant rhythm up to the base of his spine.
Keogh thought of home. So far away. Still, this place felt familiar. The youngest child of a large irish family, Keogh was used to everyone talking at once, and he counted six distinct conversations occuring around him at this very moment.
He honed in on one in particular. "...as for getting released, we've got 6 hours before the disturbance closes, so that means you have 2 hours to get better." The voice was definitely the same as the one belonging to whoever had woken Keogh from a hard-earned sleep ten minutes ago. His newly assigned quarters included a Tellarite with an unbelieveble propensity for snoring, and it had taken Keogh most of his first night on Solace to...
"Keogh", snapped Lieutenant Alexander. "If you aren't too busy holding the deck down, we could use your help."
Keogh blinked. This was the beginning of his Starfleet career.
"Ensign Keogh", the young Ensign stood at attention, "You were top of your class at the Academy?"
Keogh grinned proudly, "Yes Sir."
Alexander didn't even make eye contact with the Ensign, focusing on reports streaming in front of him, "Good, lucky guess on my part. In all earnest I haven't had time to review your file, and if you were assigned to the 7th Fleet that means you had to be good. I need people on this mission, and between the wounded and repair crews I'm short handed. You were simply the one of the few not yet assigned to a department."
The grin disappeared, "Yes Sir."
"Good then we have an understanding. I have three things to cover before you are assigned. What are your fields of specialty, how do you look with a goatee, and you only need to stand at attention around me when you are being repremanded or awarded, and lets hope for the latter one."

Keogh blinked again. Had his Starfleet career ended as soon as it began? “Breathe, Ensign,” Alexander said quietly. “My bark’s much worse than my bite… unless you get on my bad side.”
“Yes sir,” Keogh exhaled, and braved a small smile. “You said that already,” Alexander deadpanned from behind a PADD. “Specialties? Or do I need to hail your proud momma and ask her?”
Keogh stowed the smile and launched into his short resume. “Sir, I hold advanced degrees in Quantum Mechanics and Particle Physics. I was especially interested in chaos theory – particularly quantum chaos, and wrote my dissertation on the topic. I guess you could say my senior year was pretty chaotic.”
Keogh waited for the laugh but there was none. He considered repeating the punch line but thought better of it.
“I take it stand up comedy was not something you studied extensively.” Alexander’s face was still hidden behind his PADD. Keogh didn’t know quite what to make of the ship’s 1st officer, but he had a feeling that if he survived this first disastrous encounter, he might do alright under him.
“No sir, no comedy. But I did find the time for a minor focus in earth history, and I’m also pretty good with a spanner. Oh, and facial hair is a bit of a tradition in my family.” Keogh knew he was pandering a bit with the last item.
Alexander’s attention was already elsewhere as his comm badge whistled. “Sir, Ensign Kaiser reporting from Transporter Room Two. The away team is beginning to assemble.”
A bright light shines in my face, I squint my eyes, my whole body tingles…
“There that should about do it a new arm for a new man, but next time don’t jump into a burning room, then blow up a Klingon vessel, theres got to be a better way to attract the opposite sex” Said the bald EMH doctor smirkly.
“Got it doc I am engaged anyway, you sure that I am fix doctor? That seemed pretty darn fast for an android prostatic arm to be put on, I thought these things were experimental anyhow?”
“That was last month’s experimental medical break through, plus this is only a loaner, you have the choice of a permanent android arm which I might say would be a dream come true for an engineer or we can clone you a new arm… “Answered the doctor.
It was strange yet amazing staring at this arm, I had no feeling in it what so ever yet it moved like my real arm, no delay… the sensor relays and nano technology in it was amazing I cant wait to get this thing under a scanner in engineering. That would have to wait, 30 minutes to prepare for the new mission at hand… I gowned my mirror uniform, Packed my knife, and hid a couple of hyposprays that can knock people out, thank you EMH doctor and stopped by Engineering to pick some things up!
After getting dressed and stopping by engineering I went straight to the transporter room, When I entered I saw Lt Alexander and Ensign Keogh both in Mirror universe Uniforms.
“Sir, Ensign, Bit revealing don’t you think, I wish I had a week to prepare, I would have hit the gym.” I chuckled
The Lt didn’t smile, at least the ensign did
“Sorry, well before we go gentlemen, Let me see your communicators, I am placing a Isolinear chip, its allows the Solace or any other 7th fleet vessel to be able to lock on us and transport us, even if the mirror ship has its shields on, the shields used on that vessel is very archaic with a lot of holes that allows beaming to go through if you have a positive lock. Also I had my engineering team modify these mirror Phasers, and phaser rifles they are just as powerful as any type VII’s we have, it will give us a tactical advantage if we end up in a gun fight, which I hope we don’t. Finally we do not know if were dealing with pre Kirk contamination or not. If we are dealing with pre Kirk mirror universe the crew will be very harsh, brutal, and cut throat. If it’s after Kirk then we still have to watch our back, but Captain Spock who would become the president of the mirror federation after over throwing the emperor Tiberius Kirk will have instituted harsh punishment for certain behaviors” I stated
