Deanna told me to keep quiet.

Yes, let’s go

Right.

We’ll both go on the mission.

Ah. I see… I um… don’t want to intrude, but if you’d rather I was there

To talk to K’Ehleyr?

Back to the fight, then

Thank you Deanna.

Would you like me to go with you?

Oh thank god

I’m… flattered.

Fanfic writers…?

*looks around, eyes the camera without realizing it*

Anyway, here you go.

Where I come from, I find the effort to be kind especially valuable.

I’ll replicate one for you.

Apparently it is some kind of multiversal constant...

When she heard the news, Deanna’s counterpart in this universe suggested you might enjoy… chocolate sundaes?

Excuse me sir, I don’t mean to bother you, but you seem like you could use a good meal.

It does happen.

Agreed.

I prefer not to submit to that kind of cynicism. I’ve seen senseless hatred up close, it has to seem unconquerable to sustain itself. Believing hate is temporary is in itself resistance.

So I’ve read. It was the one they overcame the barbarism of the nations that proceeded them, but that equality ultimately served to galvanize humanity towards cruelty.

Quite the trade off

*sigh*

Yes.

People are often confused my accent as well

Thank you Deanna.

As an Alliance defector, her insider knowledge could be greatly valuable.

Yes, let’s bring her on board if she’s willing

*nods*

That may be most prudent

I see your wisdom there

*Glad he wasn’t the only one blushing a little*

You’re too kind, ma’am

Perhaps not at the time expense of our comrade?

I believe whatever interest Commander Troi has in her counterpart is none of our business, ma’am

Your counterpart from this universe is assembling a team to assist a woman from our side of the looking glass named Beverly Crusher in retrieving her son from the Alliance.

Care to jump into the viper’s nest?

I believe that sounds like a plan

*he activated his communicator*

@deannaresistance.bsky.social

Deanna?

I see…

*clears his throat awkwardly*

I can contact her

Excuse me?

Indeed.

There are few I trust more than your counterpart. She is my first recommendation
