After the briefing with Rosemary Kent, Brad notifies Harris about the ceremony to take place on Deep Space Six-Alpha, newly redesignated as Starbase Deep Space Six-Alpha.

"Captain?" she asks, "I knew I was up for consideration, but you never know how the dice will fall. I'm—speechless. Guess I'd better print up a new uniform and dig out my fruit salad. Say, can those new replicators produce champagne?"

In reply to Commander Theresa Harris (msg # 1):

"Harris, congratulations, it is well deserved.  And both Mercer and myself can definitely tell you, your career doesn't seem to miss a beat even when others presume you are MIA or dead." he says with a smile.

He definitely made sure Thoma was not within even Andorian ear shot when he made the comment.

Harris smiles at Thelev's remarks. "Good to know, Thelev. I'll have to keep that in mind. Must've been hard on Thoma, though. I understand Vethia was born while you were MIA.

And I'll bet the crew of the Genser will have some real adjustments to make. Boluri likewise. Starfleet Medical wants to examine him from the subatomic level up. My new Security Chief has also dealt with the same sort of issues. He was captured by the Terran Empire from the Mirror Universe and managed to escape. He was put through every test Starfleet could come up with and only just returned to duty. His name's Singh. LCdr Gurdas Jaswinder Singh."

Thelev is familiar with Singh, or at least his mirror counterpart. He'd been a mere lieutenant when Brad, Thelev and Khendron had were originally assigned to the old Excalibur and had been exposed during the early stages of the Intelligence War. Several former crewmates of Captain Perinni and Lt Tom Cat had been killed by a serial killer with a grudge. They eventually determined that the killer was the son of an officer killed on a mission which then-LCdr Perrini had commanded, and to which the victims had been assigned. Excalibur's security chief Lt Singh was revealed to be an agent from the Mirror Universe and murdered the prisoner as he was being taken to a rehabilitation colony. Singh was extracted by the Terran Empire's ISS Odyssey and was killed in action during battle with the Excalibur. His body was recovered and the case was closed.

Teri continues, "All this time, the original Lt Singh was a prisoner of the Terran Empire and had been interrogated and tortured. He managed to escape and used the modified transporter the Empire had used to swap him for the impostor in the first place to return to the real universe, managing to destroy the transporter in the process."

[OOC: This all happened just before you guys joined the game. Perinni was played by Trish Slater, Lt Tom Cat was a Caitian played by Ron Frasier who'd played in the original iteration of the game in Halifax, and Lt Singh was played by Marc Tyrrell, now a professor at Carleton U.]
