    I don't think Harry Kim has any duty of care except to help himself and Mariner return to their own universe. If Starfleet really wanted to intervene in the mirror universe then they would have to plan that out and support their agents.

    OTOH, the mirror universe is very silly and I think any attempt to take it seriously would quickly collapse. Better to treat it lightly like lower decks does and DC is doing now, I think.

    Clearly if you're in the mirror universe, your actions fall under the mirror prime directive which requires you to mess with internal affairs as much as possible.
     
    [X] Force everyone in the room to swear to secrecy - claim that the whole beating them up thing had been a test, and they all failed, and they should thank Beckett and Harry like the WORMS that they are! Crawl, worms! CRAWL!
     
    Also wait. The only two people we know are good in the main universe that are good in this one is sisko and spock. Are they just so badass they can ignore the reverse universe rules?

    Slightly modified cause making them swear secrecy seems suspect. If it's sanctioned or on someone's orders then there's no need for secrecy, right? Hmm. Unless we want to spread a rumor that this is going to be a thing today? Maybe try to get everyone to beat up their supervisors preemptively or something. Though heightened alert could bite us in there as too…

    I'm up too late to think about this properly.

    Sisko isn't that good in the main universe. Sisko kills the ecosystem of a settled planet with some wacky missile which makes everyone on it refugees. He sends Kira to strongarm the last inhabitants off the Bajoran moon. There's some plot with a Romulan senator that kills some people too.

    Now let's be fair, the ecosystem of that planet was perfectly fine, it was only the human settlers that had to relocate. For the second, it was the Bajoran government that had those last three farmers removed for emenient domain reasons, Sisko just passed along the orders. And, well, look, sometimes runabouts just explode, ask Yevgenhy Prigozhin. Lots of people's shuttles explode or crash in Star Trek!
     
    Also be be fair sisko only allowed the killing due to the fact the only other option seemed to be the death of the Federation, and likely most of its people. He didn't report ot afterward he didn't decide the death was the only way ethier
     
    And Spock only does the "right" thing in this universe because Kirk makes the point that evil empires are inherently unstable and inefficient.

    Heh. I hadn't heard that the Wagner boss had been killed and this was a pretty funny way to find out.

    Fair enough about me misremembering various of those details, tho I don't think they make a huge difference!

    Beckett Mariner, everyone calls her Mariner. I'd assumed she was younger at this point but I guess Harry Kim is roughly the same age as Wesley, so this works.

    Ah, thanks. I gather this is a character I've heard of from Lower Decks?

    Well, she did only introduce herself as "Beckett", but the "Mariner" was only used in narration -- so a bit confusing (for one not recognizing her at that point, at least), but if they're both valid names for her, not actually incorrect.

    Do you know how much TIME they waste on making sure nobody stabs them in the back? They aren't any stupider than the people in the main timeline. They just spend so much of their time on ultimately pointless things when they could have been doing SCIENCE!.

    Though I do wonder how things have changed over time. After all, their technology may be inferior to the Federation's now -- but they appeared to more or less have parity back in Kirk's day. They are also apparently doing something that's prevented them from being conquered already, despite all their self-sabotage.

    One's from the distant future, so the other might be from the near past.
    And if she's from the mirror universe's mirror universe, does that mean there's a duty of care to bring them back so as to avoid further negative interference?
    Click to expand...

    ...Or. Hm.

    So, C'nola and Amy from the mirror universe's far future are nice people and much happier in the non-mirror universe. But given the mirror universe is oppositional... what does that say about a hypothetical C'nola and Amy from a far future of the non-mirror universe? Did this C'nola always have the heart of a cheesy space villainess, and then a transporter accident or whatever finally gave her the opportunity to live the dream?
     
    Since Amy is the daughter of the God-Emperor of Mankind is mirror Amy the daughter of the Man-Peasant of Godkind?

    Lower Decks was my introduction to Trek and I didn't even realise this was Mariner until someone you pointed out the name switch. That's how rarely she uses her first name.

    Well I feel old. :D

    IIRC, mine was... probably VHS tapes of TNG recorded off the television? Not sure, but something like that.

    ...Pretty sure later on we had a family friend with cable or satellite who taped recent Voyager episodes for us sometimes, because we just had analog over-the-air television with an old and somewhat battered antenna (mind, the switch to digital broadcasting later IIRC made things significantly worse; the fact that you either got a clear picture and sound or none at all, instead of something you could sort of make out through the static, was supposed to be a positive, but our reception was poor enough that tolerably often we just got "none at all"). And I don't recall when we got our first non-CRT television, but years after that, I think. ...When was the last time I saw a CRT screen or a VCR in the wild?

    ...Aaaaaanyway, Lower Decks I've not actually seen any of directly, but I've seen some of SFDebris's videos on it. Oh, and IIRC I read on a wiki that it includes a Section 31 ship with a cloaking device.

    and I didn't even realise this was Mariner until someone you pointed out the name switch. That's how rarely she uses her first name.

    • Harry and Beckett Mariner exchanged a glance, and Harry arched an eyebrow at her.

    "What?" she asked.

    "I'm thinking...what if...we just make them serve us," Harry said. "I mean, this is the evil universe."

    "Yeah..." Mariner rubbed her chin.

    "And evil means...stupid and cowardly," Harry said, brightly. "I mean, not always, there are brave evil jerks, and smart evil-"

    "Yo!" Mariner shouted, grabbing onto a groaning man and shaking him. "Wake up! Wake up!" She shook him again - and the man groaned and shook his head, rousing up. "All right, worm!" She growled, glaring down at him. "This was a test! A test sent down by the captain herself - and you all failed!"

    "W-What? No!" The man exclaimed. Mariner shoved him down, so that his head was near Harry's feet.

    "Now, if you want to avoid a trip to the agonzier, you'll crawl before us like the worm you are! Carwl!" Mariner said, then stood up. The man nodded, and hastily kissed Harry's feet. Harry sighed and glanced at Mariner.

    "Is the feet kissing really necessary?" he whispered.

    "Oh, totally, they love it," Mariner said, flipping her hand casually. "Come on!"

    She and he hurried from the room.

    And the man who had kissed Harry's feet slowly lifted his head, growling softly. "I'll get you for this, Beckett Mariner and Harry Kim...I'll get you back for this, lest my name isn't Gillian T. Browning." He clenched his hand dramatically.

    Gillian T. Browning also existed in the prime universe that Mariner and Harry had come from - though, many Federation scientists and dimensional anthropologists agreed that the term 'prime universe' was pretty universecist and was trying to gently but firmly encourage Starfleet officers to adopt the new terminology of Point Of View Universe or Home Universe. However, in the POVV ('verse), Gillian T. Browning was a totally uninteresting, boring guy who never amounted to anything but one time where he got semi-viral among his social circles for doing a really mean kickflip on a hover skateboard.

    Still.

    Even a boring enemy could cause problems.

    Gillian T. Browning started to scheme about how to best get back against his rivals without drawing attention to himself - and his gaze slowly fell upon the nearest com unit.

    ***
    ​
    "So, you know that guy is totally going to betray us, right?" Harry asked as they walked into the turbolift. He grabbed onto the controls. "Deck 1, forward hull."

    "Oh totally," Mariner said, then groaned. "God, why are the turbolifts on this ship so slow?"

    The doors opened and the two walked out as Harry shook his head. "It'd be faster to do point to point teleporting, I swear," he said, frowning slightly as they came to the entrance to the bridge. There, two men in red uniforms stood at attentions - and both of them frowned at the two ensigns.

    "Neither of you are bridge officers," One of the burly men growled. "Begone."

    Mariner and Harry glanced at one another.

    They had to get onto the bridge, and they had to get onto it in a dang hurry.

    Well, we do know a few officers on this boat. Time to start dropping names.

    [X] You're carrying a missive from Commander C'Nola for Force Captain Amy Strong. Important, which is why she sent 2 of you, and confidential, which is why she didn't just use the ship's comms.
     
    [x] And neither of you are important enough for us to care about your opinions, step aside minions, the Main characters have business to discuss, shouldn't you be putting down the insurrection in hangar two anyway?
