EPILOGUE

Captain’s Log, Supplemental.

It’s been two weeks since the incident in the Daynor sector that conveyed the crew of the Loma Prieta through the Anchor into this mirror universe.  Our universe, depending on one’s perspective.  Unfortunately, our trusty ship could not follow suit, having been too heavily damaged by the advanced weaponry employed by the Federation of that other reality.  My senior staff engaged the auto-destruct, presumably destroying the Anchor in the process, as the anomaly hasn’t appeared in this reality since that time.

ACT 8

Setting down the flashing tricorder and leaning it against the window, Perkins popped open his combadge and quickly inspected its contents.  He removed its power cell and held it up in the dim light for inspection; it had been cracked in a couple of places, most likely when he fell during the last exchange of fire.  He glanced around the power conduit room for a suitable replacement, then made his way over to a drawer and pulled it open, finding a neat row of PADDs.  All of them were locked out with high-level security clearance, no doubt, but each of them possessed a suitable power replacement — so Perkins fetched one up and, holding the edges with his pinky and thumb, slapped the back flatly down on the desk nearby, cracking open the outer casing and revealing the circuitry inside.  He deftly extracted a power cell and slotted it into his combadge, then placed it back on the left breast of his sooty uniform and tapped it.

“Captain Sung!  And Mr. Perkins!  A pleasure to see you both.  But may I ask, why have you diverted from your reported course?”

“Admiral Rothschild?” Sung said, staring at the viewscreen.  “Are you here?”

“No, Captain,” Rothschild replied, folding his arms.  “I’m back at Starbase 415… expecting you.  The installation in which you find yourself is configured to remotely prepare weapons and notify Starfleet Command upon detection of any vessel.”

“Admiral… what is this place?”

ACT 5

Sung didn’t say anything for a moment.  “Explain, Ensign,” he finally commanded.

“I’m not sure, sir.  I…” Marrone turned back to the console, looking it over a moment before shrugging somewhat and holding his open palms upward.  “I’m just reading what it says.”

Sung frowned, then narrowed his questioning. “How many warp signatures in total?”

“Twenty-seven, sir.  All Federation, all apparently destroyed via core detonation.”  Marrone swallowed.  “All at the same time.”

ACT 3 

Captain’s Log, Stardate 48316.2.  In the wake of an outbreak of food poisoning generated by the ship’s replicators, I’ve assembled my senior staff to receive a debrief of Hesser and Bukowski’s latest efforts to get to the root of an increasingly worrying problem.

“Well, Captain, we’ve got some bad news, some good news, and some terrible news.”
