“Anaqueen vs. Captain Spankryz, Part One”
(contd from Taylor’s ‘132’)
Location: GS-2
SD: 2.80709.1328
Scene: Security Detention Center
The sight of watching the deaths of Jaxsper Lawrence and Captain Byrne made the Trill woman’s stomach churn in disgust. Committing crimes against the powerful Pnarran Galactic Empire was foolish if the perpetrators believed they could get away with it. Until meeting Lord Ihcalam in person, the Trill had no idea Daisy and the command crew had trouble with the Pnarrans. Then again, she was only recruited on board the SHIV a few months ago.
Ana quietly stepped out, knowing Ihcalam had already removed the forcefield. Glancing around, she sighed, noticing the fallen bodies of the three security guards. The young woman walked up to one of them and grabbed the holster holding a type 2 handheld phaser. She peeled the uniform jacket off another guard, a human woman and adorned it around her form. Wearing the weapon belt around her waist, Ana headed for the entrance, hoping the chaos in the promenade caused by the dark lord’s actions would distract everyone. But considering the brig was heavily secured, despite any problems elsewhere, a straightforward escape was going to be tricky.
She walked towards the wall, opened the panel and hopped inside the Jeffries tube, hoping to get away from the brig before a team of security officers entered the area.
------------------------------------
Scene: Promenade
In a remote area in the promenade, Ana managed to step out from the service tube and was lucky to not have run into any unwanted persons. She was trying to head to one of the transporter rooms that would bring her to the USS COMMENDATION. The brown haired woman would have been on the battle cruiser, confronting Spankryz if she hadn’t accidentally run into Commander G’blok, the COMMENDATION’s first officer a few minutes after leaving the empty storage room in the Engineering module.
G’blok was returning back to the century class vessel after completing his personal business, when he met up with the alternate Anaqueen. Dressed in odd civilian clothes, the Klingon became suspicious and immediately contacted his ship. When it was confirmed his CO had never left the COMMENDATION since its return from the mission, the Commander alerted GATEWAY security. And that was how Ana ended up in the brig with Byrne and her accomplice.
But now nothing was going to stop the Trill from getting the confrontation she wanted with Captain Spankryz. She casually strode to the information terminal, when a chilling whisper stopped her.
Makinis Ugeen moved around the unjoined resistance fighter and stood in front of her. “It would be unwise to walk around exposed like this considering your resemblance to the other version is exact.”
Ana sighed, exasperatedly. “Well do you have a better way?” She asked.
“Indeed I do,” the Bajoran replied, mouth closed to avoid revealing his fangs. “Follow me.”
---------------------------
Scene: Turbo lift
Physician Kate MacNeil had so far managed to move around the station, undetected. She had heard of her Captain’s death and felt numb. The half-Nuimon had no fondness for Byrne. In fact aside from her pets, Kate never really felt any love or attachment towards another sentient being. Listening to some of the civilians who were in the promenade when the mangled bodies of Jaxsper Lawrence and Daisy Byrne appeared, the doctor wondered who was behind their deaths and figured it wasn’t anyone from this universe.
The door slid open, allowing both Makinis and Ana to step inside. The Scottish woman grinned in acknowledgement at her two crewmates. “Looks like our Captain is dead,” the Nuimon hybrid mentioned with no feeling in her voice.
“I know,” Ana answered coldly. She despised the physician, considering Nuimons were a thorn to the Free Trill resistance movement. The Trill Hegemony, one of the powerful groups in that mirror universe, had a pact made with the Nuimons whose successful stealth methods had placed the ruling symbionts on the winning side of the war against the ‘Free Trill’ rebels. The Nuimons were always used as spies and assassins by the Trill Government to quell any form of discontent in their realm. “I witnessed that Pnarran lord brutally execute them.”
Chuckling, Kate remarked with sarcasm dripping from her voice. “I always believed Captain Byrne was mentally unstable.” Ana rolled her eyes at the comment and was tempted to remind the doctor she too wasn’t exactly sane. “Unless one wanted a death wish, they wouldn’t go around messing with the Pnarran Empire,” the physician stated cryptically. MacNeil had received warnings from her mother’s people, the Nuimons the danger of causing problems with the Pnarrans. Kate heeded their forewarning religiously and did not ever go looking for trouble with the Pnarrans. She was only a member of the SHIV crew for the past six months.
The turbo lift stopped moving.
Ugeen instructed, glancing at Ana. “This is where we get out.”
“Understood,” the Trill acknowledged and both stepped out leaving the mad physician all by herself.
A few minutes later, the lift doors opened allowing Lt. Cmdr. Kathryn MacNeil to enter. “Sickbay,” the Scot ordered, her back to the other MacNeil. She did not once turn behind to face her alternate, who was grinning wickedly.
Upon reaching their stop, both women stepped out the turbo lift. Mirror Kate kept a few feet away from Cmdr. MacNeil, when following the latter to sickbay.

Location: USS COMMENDATION
Scene: Transporter room-> Corridor-> Turbo lift-> Corridor
TI: Minutes later
Ana had managed to transport herself to the battle cruiser with relative ease. Makinis had remained behind on the station, continuing his own personal quest. The Bajoran handed the Trill a tiny device and its controller for her to use as leverage against the COMMENDATION crew, prior to her departure to the starship.
As Ana had materialized on the transmat, the transporter operator, a Ferengi male gasped in disbelief. “Captain…” Spotting the grey accented uniform and petty officer, third class rank insignia, the crewman soon realized something was not right with the woman who looked exactly like his CO. His finger jabbed the comm. badge and the man yelled. “Transporter room 1 to Security. Intruder alert.” But he was shot in the chest by Ana before making another move. The Ferengi crewman lurched backwards on impact with the laser beam and hit the bulkhead. He was still alive but unconscious.
Anaqueen raced out of the room into the hallway where she was met by a team of three security officers with weapons aimed at her. The Trill immediately fired back, hitting one officer, while narrowly missing the other two and then took off. She was still shooting at the uninjured guards who were chasing her but were having a hard time keeping up with the intruder. She tapped the comm. badge attached to the uniform jacket and ordered amidst gasps for breath. “Computer, locate Captain Spankryz.”
[[Captain Spankryz is in her Ready Room.]]
She had reached the turbo lift and got inside, narrowly missing the hit from the lead security officer. Panting for breath, Ana caressed the smooth, silvery metallic device and hesitated to use it. She hoped the Captain would comply with her demands and pocketed the tiny object. The turbo lift was slowing down and the Trill’s heartbeat increased due to anxiety.
The lift came to a stop and the doors slid apart, revealing the handsome, athletic form of the COMMENDATION’s chief of security, his phaser handheld aimed at her. Anaqueen stepped out and drew out her weapon, pointing it at Lt. Cmdr. Haley.
Matthew stared intently at the person sharing an exact resemblance to his wife. His hands began to shake slightly as they clutched the weapon tightly. Normally, Haley would have taken a shot at his enemy with no difficulties but the woman facing him was no ordinary opponent. She might look like her but she was not his wife and Matthew tried to not forget that fact. Unfortunately for the half-El Aurian, the moment’s hesitation cost him as Ana shot him, thereby knocking him out unconscious. Since the phaser setting was at stun, Matthew was alive and would awaken shortly.
“You couldn’t do it,” Ana remarked snidely, kicking his legs to the side. “Idiot, it’s too bad the Captain will pay the price for your indecision.” The Trill pulled open a panel and attached the metallic device to the wall inside. She made adjustments to it, integrating the device with the ship’s systems and returned the panel back to its original position. Even if the device was discovered, it would be futile to remove it without knowing the right buttons to press. Ana eyed the controller, a thin instrument in the same size of her thumb still lying inside the jacket pocket.
She ordered through her comm. badge, knowing a trip to the bridge would send her right back to the gateway’s brig. “Computer, initiate site to site transport to Captain Spankryz’s Ready Room.” In a flash, the Trill got engulfed by the transporter beam and disappeared just as a security team arrived at the scene.
------------------
Scene: Ready Room
Captain Anaqueen Spankryz ordered calmly. “Commander, lockdown the entire ship and inform the GATEWAY we will deal with the intruder on our own and that once the situation is under control, we will hand her over to station security.”
[[Aye Captain,]] the Klingon ExO complied. [[Security teams have been dispatched to all parts of the ship.]]
Listening to the sound of someone materializing in the room, the Trill woman informed dryly. “Well apparently you don’t have to look that far ahead.” She turned behind and spotted the other Anaqueen, who raised her weapon. Spankryz slowly moved around her desk and stopped a few feet from the other woman, her blue eyes fixed on the alternate version. “You took all this trouble just to see me,” the Captain remarked sarcastically. “It would have been easier if I visited you down at the station.”
Mirror Ana commanded, narrowing her eyes. “Call them off or suffer the consequences.”
“What have you done?” The Trill officer questioned, becoming alarmed inside, yet her outward demeanor reflected otherwise.
Ana warned, smirking. “Let’s just say I have taken measures against this ship in case you refused to comply with my demands.”
“What kind of measures?” Spankryz inquired coldly.
“A device placed somewhere in this ship will detonate on my signal,” the Trill threatened. “Think of the heavy damage to this vessel’s systems and the harm it will cause to your crew.”
Anaqueen Spankryz ordered, the channel between her and the ExO still open. “Commander, order security to stand down.”
[[Captain, this is a bad idea,]] G’blok cautioned. [[Lt. Polairis and her engineering team are working on locating the device and will be able to dismantle it.]]
“Oh, removing the device will only lead to an explosion,” the other Ana warned. “You don’t really want that.”
The Trill Captain ordered, her tone firm. “You have your orders, Commander.”
[[Yes Captain,]] the Klingon complied reluctantly and Spankryz ended communication, hoping her crew would continue to work on finding a way to deactivate the device. She would bid her time, listening to the other woman’s demands.
Spankryz began curtly, folding her arms in front. “Alright, you got what you wanted, so let’s hear it.”

NRPG: Okay part 1 of the confrontation between the two Anaqueens. I will have part 2 written in the next few days. I will also deal with the interactions between the two Kates sometime soon after the Ana stuff, but please don’t let that stop you from using either of the Kate MacNeils in your posts if you have plans to use them :)
So keep the great posts coming, I look forward to reading what you will bring next to this mission :)
