Finally home.
*after taking shower, begins log*
The last few days have been.... pretty hectic.
I got kidnapped by a strange meter-high alien who goes by the name of Bitchass. (Don't laugh, she's really nice.) She thought I was a pirate who had stolen her cheese. 0_o
I told her I'd help her find the real pirate. Turns out the real pirates are the ones who kidnapped Tom and Renara.
So Captain Archer made an arrangement with Bitchass- she would help us rescue the Parises while she retrieved her stolen goods. It just so happens that the pirates are from that "mirror universe"- the same one the Emperor and his ship are from. I had heard about Trip and Malcolm meeting their mirror counterparts, and I thought of how strange that must have been. Word around the ship was that the captain had.... "encountered" his mirror counterpart through a PIF. I began to wonder, of course, if I had a mirror counterpart, and what he would be like, but I didn't hear anything about a mirror version of me. Maybe he wasn't on the Emperor's ship- I'm not sure why he wouldn't be, but it seemed to be a pretty good explanation.
The fun part is that the pirates tried to attack Enterprise while we were rescuing Tom and Renara.
Tom and I in a moment of sheer stupidity decided to try and take over the ship. We knocked out crew members, had surprisingly little trouble snatching some weapons, and headed to the bridge.
I thought it was far too easy to get onto the bridge. It wasn't long before I found out why.
My mirror double is the captain of the pirate ship.
0_o
We ended up taking the bridge, and I managed to get shot by myself... my mirror self... in the process. But, we did it- had their entire bridge crew hostage. Captain Archer spoke with... my double the captain of the pirate ship and managed to convince them to attack the Emperor's ship with us which would otherwise have been a suicide mission.
*huge breath*
So I returned to Bitchass' ship, and she came along with us to face the Emperor. Well, in return for the captain's underwear. 0_0
Luckily, the Bitchass' ship has WAY superior weapons, and we managed to knock out one of the Emperor's forward phase canons. ^_^
The pirates were nearly destroyed and ran away in the last leg of battle. Cowards. -_-
Then I remembered I had to tell Captain Archer that Bitchass' wanted something in return. What fun THAT was.
And now I'm back on Enterprise. *enormous sigh*
While I was on the pirate ship, I saw Ethan's double, too. And he had a beard.
Tom threatened to shoot them both. My double and Ethan's double. I'm not sure why, but I felt really frightened when he did that.
My double was an asshole- but I still didn't want him to die. More than that- after he shot me, Ethan's double seemed to find it amusing. This mirror universe really was turning out to be like they said.
But I didn't want him to die, either.
Everything about them- the way they acted, the things they said, the fact that they were pirates- they were so different from this universe. They were so different from us.
What I can't stop thinking about is- when Tom threatened to shoot Ethan's double, my double laughed. He taunted Tom, asking him who he was going to shoot, Ethan or himself. And he was so flippant about Ethan, about his well-being. He treated it with such disregard- and that's what made us so incredibly different.
I don't think I could ever treat my friends like that.
Least of all Ethan.
.... Computer, end log.
