"Whadya mean don't just drop you like that? It makes things more interesting!"
Nat and Sarah followed mirror Nat and Krystal, walking down he hall. Nat spoke up, "You might **** up our performance!"
Mirror Nat shrugged. "Adds more worry for death. Don't mind if every time is the "real" time, ok? Anyways, you did pretty good, actually. However, for one, Krystal, don't hurt Sarah too much, alright? We want her to be able to actually replace Anna Walker, and she was probably too injured in the long run. Sarah, don't be an idiot. Have you heard of dodging? Oh, and Nat, you actually did pretty good, but don't be so eager to surrender when the bot tells you to; and also don't be surprised next time, cuz you've met him several times before."
Nat looked at him. "Where exactly did Anna Walker get this "Data" anyways? Who is he? A mirror universe Data? Lore? Was prime Data captured or something?"
Mirror Nat didn't have an answer. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe he didn't want them to know. They would never know, evidently.
"I'll have you know out people have spies in your universe, and that we know an awful lot about you; have you considered doing the same? No, wait, let me guess!" mirror Nat joked. "No?"
Krystal had a deadpan look on her face.
"We respect your universe enough to leave you alone," she replied. "The least you could do is extend the same consideration. But no... Admiral Leeta's not content with one universe. As to me hurting Sarah... What was I supposed to do? Talk her down? Get shot? How would an Imperial react to having a gun pointed at them and they happen to have a dagger?"
"Again, didn't really have a choice," Krystal shot back. "They failed almost immediately by the time I got to the bridge. Noting I could do to prevent it. Your simulation was flawed in setting us up to fail right off the bat especially since it started mid battle, with us waking up to it!"
"You try waking up in the middle of a battle without knowing what the hell is going on," Krystal replied before deciding to leave and get something to eat.
Captain Nat and AU Sarah - I.S.S. Chronostorm, Mess Hall
They arrived in the Mess Hall, Nat and Sarah heading to the replicators. They ordered pizza, then found a table and sat down.
Sarah motioned for Krystal to join them.
"You were trying to take over my universe, and actually held me captive aboard a Cardassian ship for a time," Krystal pointed out before taking a bite.
"Oh yeah, that. Sorry, but I kinda had no choice."
Nat froze for a moment. "Wait, I just remembered something." He quickly turned to Sarah, looking her in the eye.
"I've seen the recent security logs from Starbase 144. I know that you, prime Sarah, and The Infamous ended up meeting there before you got taken away by some giant tow cable. Whatever happened to you there, and where's prime Sarah Walker?"
Sarah froze up for a moment. "The Infamous shot her with a Varon-T disruptor, and then I managed to take the gun and take him out before he could shoot me. One of his guards, one of those... things... well, let's just say these guys got me in perfect timing."
Commander Troy, the mirror universe Burt, turned to her from a nearby table. "Like I said before, intentional."
Nat looked over at him, then back to Sarah. "You killed The Infamous? He killed prime Sarah? You mean she's..."
He stopped, and stayed silent for about a minute. He was still silent as he lowered his head onto the table (and his arms), sliding his pizza over as he did so.

Nat looked him in the eye. "How much of this simulation was even true?"
Mirror Nat chuckled. "You'll be having a very different role in the real thing, I tell ya. This was just a test to see how you'd manage."

"How do you know that he picked me?" she asked in confusion.
