"And I reminded you that I have no authority on ship and crew assignments due to my own rank as Captain," Krystal reminded Nat. "I can only make suggestions at best. But I'm sure you'd find a way to get the personnel thing worked out behind the scenes."

admiralnat · September 2016

Admiral Nat chuckled. "I know, and again, I know."

rattler2 · September 2016

Krystal nodded, but didn't say anything else.

admiralnat · September 2016

Admiral Nat stood there for a moment. "Welp, I guess we might as well explain the situation to these two. Long story short, mirror Nat is a liar and intends to strike when you're all busy having a meeting, so you guys keep watch and I'll provide the reinforcements necessary to drive them back when they show up."

rattler2 · September 2016

"I also suggested somehow getting an Anti-Tachyon Pulse ready too," Krystal added. "Might force them back to the Mirror Universe."

admiralnat · September 2016

Admiral Nat replied. "That was kinda what I meant by driving them back, silly."

rattler2 · September 2016

Krystal rolled her eyes.

admiralnat · September 2016

"So any questions?" the admiral asked.

Captain Nat replied. "I guess not. Keep an eye out and don't be surprised when you guys save the day from the other guys. Got it."

Sarah rolled her eyes. "Yeah, sure."

rattler2 · September 2016

"No..." Krystal trailed off before bringing a hand to her head.

admiralnat · September 2016

Admiral Nat shrugged. "Welp, I guess I'll send you back then. Oh, and Nat!"

Captain Nat looked over.

Admiral Nat continued. "You're gonna love the ship you end up commanding. Trust me."
He snapped his fingers and in a flash, Krystal, Nat, and Sarah found themselves at Krystal's table from before. No one seemed to notice their disappearance, nor Nat and Sarah suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

rattler2 · September 2016

Krystal braced herself against the table. Her eyes were closed, but it almost looked like she was in pain.

admiralnat · September 2016

Captain Nat looked over at Krystal, blinking. "You ok?"

rattler2 · September 2016

"N...no..." Krystal managed to say. She opened her eyes and looked at Captain Nat. There was a slight blue glow in her eyes. "I... I feel weird and..."

She cringed before again bracing herself on the table and shaking.

admiralnat · September 2016

Captain Nat looked pretty horrified as he tapped his combadge. "Transporter room, beam us to sickbay, now!"

In a moment, the three were in sickbay as a doctor and others came over.

rattler2 · September 2016

Krystal was led to a Biobed, and they started running scans on her.

"That's... odd..." a nurse said.

admiralnat · September 2016

Captain Nat looked worried, while Sarah just walked out. Nat turned to the nurse. "What's wrong?"

rattler2 · September 2016

"Her DNA's been altered," the nurse said. "Whatever it was... it was dormant until recently. Has anything happened that could account for this?"

admiralnat · September 2016

Captain Nat practically laughed. "Literally everything. Telepaths, probably. Invisible nanites that hide in people and can control them. Hyper-Q who may very well be watching and manipulating us right now. Probably other things. No clue what specifically would cause this, though."

rattler2 · September 2016

"Well... there is evidence that this may have started a while ago," the nurse replied. "Time frame could be... about the time the Infamous was captured. I understand that she may have had a minor neck injury shortly after that?"

admiralnat · September 2016

Nat shrugged. "I wasn't there, sadly, but apparently so. My guess is that that is when the Infamous tagged her with one of those nanites, which was later removed by the mirror version of me and his people."

rattler2 · September 2016

"There's nothing we can do to reverse the effects," the doctor finally said. "It seems that this may have been meant as a gradual thing, but something recent jumpstarted the process into a bit of an overdrive, almost like a reaction to a threat. From what we've been able to determine, she will still be Trill, but we've already noticed a potential increase in her inherant telepathic ability. Far stronger than what we have on record for her. And we've noticed a fluctuating energy field as if she's generating it herself. Other than that... she's perfectly healthy. None of her biological systems seem to be impacted... if she ever had children they would be perfectly healthy. I can't seem to figure out what exactly is happening to her."

admiralnat · September 2016

Nat looked concerned now. "It must be some kind of effect of the nanite. Is she conscious at all?"

rattler2 · September 2016

"She's stabilized," the doctor said. "And yes, she is conscious. We haven't said anything to her about our preliminary findings yet."

admiralnat · September 2016

"Oh. Well, I dunno... I suspect the only guys who would know anything more would be the Infamous's people or maybe Admiral Nat."

The captain didn't seem too happy about that. "So when are you gonna tell her?"

rattler2 · September 2016

"We're still going over the data now," the doctor replied. "Don't really know what to tell her."

admiralnat · September 2016

The captain looked down a bit. "And you expect me to know?"

rattler2 · September 2016

"No, but I have a feeling the news coming from a friend might help keep her calm," the doctor replied. "She's already feeling defensive around the medical staff."

admiralnat · September 2016

Nat sighed. "But... we hardly even know each other, really."

rattler2 · September 2016

"Know anybody else?"

admiralnat · September 2016

Nat sighed. "Who knows. I know her ship is supposed to be docked here, maybe I can find some of her crew somewhere around..."
