Mirror T'Pol (Part Two)



Guest Poster: Mirror T'Pol

At the moment, I am being held prisoner on a starship from an alternative universe.

On the ISS Enterprise, just before I was due to be executed, I found an Escape Pod and got away. Unfortunately it was somehow frozen and I was left there for over 200 years. The Pod had drifted through a spatial rift to another universe where the Terran Empire does not exist. A more advanced Enterprise has picked me up.

----------

I can see Picard and his second in command Riker discussing; obviously they are talking about me.

"You will tell me what you are discussing!" I inform them, "I am a prisoner of war with this Federation!"

Picard approaches me.

"T'Pol." he says, "You are not a prisoner of war. You are a guest on the Enterprise; there is no need to behave aggressively. Perhaps you want to see our ship's Counselor in order to get used to life here?"

I sneer.

"You have a Counselor to deal with problems?" I tell him dismissively, "In the Terran Empire, we solve our problems with a dagger in the back! Beware, Picard; your underling Riker might have one reserved for you."

I go to my quarters; they are far more advanced than the ship I left behind. I'm sure whoever is in charge of the Empire now would reward me greatly if I could take this ship to the Imperial Starfleet.

A door opens; a brunette woman comes in, all smiles. Riker is behind her and whispers to her before he leaves.



"Hello, T'Pol." she says, "I am Counselor Deanna Troi. I'd like to have a talk with you about life in the 24th Century. It might take a little getting used to."

"Are you Riker's woman?" I ask her directly, "I can tell in the body language between the two of you that you are more than just colleagues."

"Errr..." she replies with a stutter, "Commander Riker and I are good friends, but our relationship is not important to you."

"I thought you were!" I say, "I'm never wrong in these matters."

"Now, T'Pol." she continues, "How do you think you would like to fit in around 24th Century Starfleet?"

"As I am a Lieutenant Commander in the Terran Empire" I answer, "You can replace this android I've heard about who has the same position I do and put him on the scrapheap. Alternatively, you could promote me to Commander, and I'll have Riker's position."

Troi looks shocked, and after a hesitant goodbye, she leaves my quarters.

-------

A little later, someome else visits. It is a strange female with robotic implants.



"You are T'Pol?" she asks.

"Yes." I answer, "And just what are you?"

"I am Seven Of Nine, a Borg drone from Unimatrix 01." she tells me stiffly, "I am here to observe human life for the Borg Queen before we assimilate everybody on this vessel."

"Assimilate?" I ask her, "What does that mean?"

"It means the Borg turn you all into drones like myself." Seven states.

I laugh.

"The Terran Empire would soon destroy you creatures." I tell her, "You kind would be no more."

Seven looks livid.

"Just one Borg Cube managed to destroy several starships in the battle of Wolf 359." Seven tells me, "I shall instruct the Queen to move into your universe and assimilate all there as well. The Borg are supreme; resistance is futile."

"Not if I destroy you first!" I shout.

The two of us start to fight, but Picard and a Klingon come in and break it up.

"I'm starting to get to know the people on this starship, Picard." I tell him with a smile.

To be continued...

Great story so far. I always hated that spandex-turqoise-dress-thing that Troi wore. It took until season six to get her into a Starfleet Uniform--and then, I am sure the ratings dropped.

Tawnya Shields said...

I think T'Pol needs more than counseling. Can't she be give something to make her more complacent and reasonable. She eve ticked Seven off. What chaos will she cause next? ;O)

I was afraid for a moment that T'Pol and Seven would work togethr to take over the Enterprise! I can't wait to find out what she has in mind!

Jana said...

Now there's an idea - send ALL the Borg over to the other dimension. Where's a rift when you need one?

Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator said...

I can't see T'Pol and Seven working together at all. Seven would attempt to assimilate T'Pol and T'Pol would try to stab Seven in the back.

SpacerGuy said...

She's fiesty this T'pol and she makes me laugh! She's so illogical and emotional for a vulcan, smashing read!

Linda said...

Not very friendly, is she?

Why is it that the Enterprise never seems to get the chance to pick up anyone friendly floating around out in the Universe?

The Mistress of the Dark said...

Oh dear. There's never a dull moment on the Enterprise is there?

Lahdeedah said...

Why is it that in alternate universes, everyone has flat abs, and all uniforms involve bare midriffs?

Is it so when people get stabbed or shot they can recycle the uniforms without worrying about pesky bloodstains and ripped material?

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Lahdeedah, that is the standard uniform for female officers in the Mirror Universe. Even Uhura had one in 'Mirror, Mirror' in TOS.

MOTD, you're right there!

Linda, there don't seem to be many friendly types, do there?

Spacerguy, she is a typical female Vulcan from the Mirror Universe.

Jon, that's just why Seven & T'Pol won't get gon.

Jana, a rift would be useful there!

Squirrel, T'Pol is not typical Starfleet material!

Titania, it would take a lifetime of counseling to sort T'Pol out, if at all!

Slskenyon, you might be right about Troi's spandex outfit.

Viamarie said...

I'm back and I can see that I have a lot of catching up to do. Hope I will get the chance to read all your exciting stories before the end of this week. Missed blogging with you.

Cheers to your day!

Professor Xavier said...

I could actually see T'Pol and 7 getting along just fine. They could overthrow the ship together. Swap implants. Whatever.

Adventures In Waitressing said...

Love the over emotional Vulcan's from the Mirror universe. Though I love the standard non emotional Vulcan's as well. T'Pol is one fiesty vulcan, hopefully no one will stand with their back to her.

slskenyon i have to disagree with you, I lover thatdress that Deanna wears.

STARTREKKER said...

slskenyon, i would have to agree with this anonymous dude, I love, and worship Deanna Troi when she wears that dress, it just hugs her perfect curves.
