2392: Starfleet Intelligence discovered that travel between dimensions, specifically between what was originally referred to as the "Mirror Universe" and "Our Universe", was not as primarily one way as was first thought.
Previous episodes of the "other side" using transporters to come to "our side" had been documented, primarily on DS9 during the Dominion War but since then there had been nothing. However, during a routine security examination of transport logs across fleet installations and vessels, Starfleet Intel ran across several anomalous transport logs that someone had not been successfully deleted completely. The destinations had been plotted as the nearby planet or a starship but there were no arrival records to corroborate with.
It took a month to create a useful pattern and to determine who the individuals were that were making the transports. In a single decisive move, SFI captured all but two of the operative, one of which was accidentally killed and the other committed suicide to prevent capture.
Estimated timeframes based on the patterns required swift action so interrogation and reporting was handled expediently and as reports were filed a chilling picture began to take form.
For years since the Mirror Universe had discovered the Federation, the legends of it had continued. Then, centuries later, rebels and Empire agencies both found a way to copy the transporter accident that allowed passage between the dimensions in a controlled fashion and had escalated their war to an entirely new level. Ships that had been put away into the Federation's mothball fleet had been raided for parts, supplies had been diverted, and agents on both sides had been killed by opposing operatives in this dimension. Even recently, in the last ten years or so, agents had infiltrated Starfleet directly and had managed to steal advanced technology designs and theory, importing them back to their own agencies back in their dimension.
While unable to track the transports directly with sensors and unable to prevent transporters from allowing the beam-in, Starfleet Intelligence hatched a plan to investigate what's really going on and see if Starfleet can determine what actual threat there is and if possible, determine a way to prevent them from hacking our transporters. Barring success in those areas, possible counter-missions to prevent our technology from being used inappropriately to fuel their own wars would be mounted. Plus, any technology that aids them in their actions against our universe and our Starfleet are to be seized or scanned and destroyed, if possible.
Thus it was decided agents would be sent to the other side to begin looking for a suitable site for a beachhead operation, base established from which to send over supplies and manpower to mount a counter-offensive.
Only one of the seven agents sent to the other side survived to report back, the others being victimized along the way. Now, two years later the project prepares to take control of an abandoned facility in a remote sector of space (on both sides) from which to launch their missions.

Not yet anyway.

Touching base because.. well.. we're not going anywhere. The sim is stalled and I'm am more to blame than anybody else for not posting more, giving you guys more to do.
Frankly, interest is flagging. I know you guys don't have time to keep this up and while I do, 'Naja seems to be a difficult premise to write under, not just for me. Most people don't even know about TME Trek and there aren't enough of those who do PLUS comedy is a hard schtick to write.
So, bowing into modern convention, I am going to restructure the sim into something I've been toying with for some time.
Sim title: Mirror War
It is 2397, Voyager is home, the Dominion has a treaty with the Federation they've been keeping and following all that "Shinzon Crap" the Romulan High Command has begun a officer exchange program and elements of the Vulcan Reunification have begun.
It seems like for the first time in a long time things are going well, right?
So wrong.
During a routine survey of transport logs a junior analysts in Starfleet Intelligence discovered several inconsistencies in various automated logs from all over the Federation, Klingon Empire and Romulan Republic. In backlogging these inconsistencies an overall pattern was discovered which had, heretofore, been disregarded as part of the acceptable error rate of such systems.
It seemed that personnel were disappearing all over the Alpha and Beta quadrant, regularly, only to reappear later to report for duty. Their pattern logs were consistent, their identities confirmed; all of them either worked in or near sensitive areas of technological development and testing in a variety of fields.
Careful not to cause an alarm or raise undue awareness of this new information, SFI planted or activated operatives already placed in a few of those areas and monitored the situation and over the next two rotation cycles several interesting discoveries were made.
One, the transporter logs were tampered with by those using them. Two, the transporters experienced a momentary loss of transport coordinates during the cycle, which was set as a diagnostic to hide the third quality of the transport: a unique quantum waveform that appeared in the transmission phase and sent the particle stream into a particular subspace layer. Finally the telling piece of data had been obtained and they knew where their foe originated from, if not who or why.
The Mirror Universe.
1st Story Arc: Mirror Cracked
Starfleet Intelligence has created a special taskforce from various branches to head into the MU to track down and gather intel on this new force, to determine exactly what they are doing, why and how best to combat them.
Since the only way to get people to and from is to use transporters, a beachhead had to be created on the far side and to that end a forward position needed to be created.
Starfleet managed to get two operatives to the MU who were able to check specific locations and to determine where corresponding facilities may be located.
After months of searching across a grid of likely candidates, an abandoned mining facility on a moon orbiting an gas giant in the Shivatta system was discovered. Ancient by modern standards the facility would serve.
The operative that found the facility and likewise, the only one who survived will be the new CO of the station renamed Beachhead Point. The officer, one Abaddon t'Rel, a Klingon.
While off arranging for materials and resources to bring in to the new facility under his cover as a Klingon mining surveyor, the Forward Team will be sent in to secure the facilities and make them operational and habitable prior to the arrival of their new CO.
This sim concept is a merger of popular concepts: some Trek, some SG1 and Atlantis and some Torchwood.
If anybody is interested in this, and has the time to commit to a couple of posts a month, let me know.
Thanks!

Don and I discussed some character changes for him since The'ahl was originally conceptualized for a far different story and isn't really a great fit for this one and background. Though the character may be leaving, Don and I are collaborating on some villians that Don may be writing.....
Matt, I know, didn't really have any difficulties writing kees and as a matter of fact he and I have a JP out there that still needs to be posted (I believe). Do you have a pass on that Matt or did we finish it?
Andrew and I also had a JP open but for the life of me I can't remember where we were with it- its been a minute since we did anything but I know it was week pre-crash for his system.
Anybody else?
