Marie sat back as she looked at Daisy. "I can see you two want to kill each other. Go for it. I mean seriously. go on, you've been wanting to hit each other, go ahead and get it out of your system."

"I'll wait until she is done eating. It may be awhile before she can eat solid food again." Daisy replied.

Enyo laughed at her. "My, aren't we full of ourselves?" she grinned at Daisy. "Would you sit down and shut up already. I mean seriously Klingon, is talking all you ever do.?"

Marie sighed. "Okay, this is getting us nowhere. You two are just hating on each other and nothing else is getting done. Considering that I was the assault victim in all of this. Why are you standing there, losing your mind Major?" she asked of Daisy.

"Celeste Yamaguchi is a good friend. This person trespassed into her home when her children were present. She also attacked you. This woman should be talking to a criminal lawyer, not us." Daisy replied.

Ashcroft smiled. "Well, she's talking to us because she is from a foreign state," she commented. "I am also a criminal lawyer. Ms. Sh'Andoo is here from Starfleet Intelligence to ensure that I don't say or do anything stupid," she explained.

Enyo regarded Daisy. "I do not know you, I know the version of you I left behind, she was a small-minded, bitter and violent sociopath who would have nothing against using her bat'leth on anyone who crossed her," she commented. "Are you any different?. You are doing a poor job of convincing me otherwise. Why don't you run along now? I'm sure you have children to murder or people to abuse."

Marie sighed. "This isn't helping."

"If I picked up a bat'leth I would be more a danger to myself than anyone else," Daisy told Enyo. "I'm don't know if you massacre civilians to solve problems where you are from but we don't do that here."

Enyo's grin became predatory as she knew she had the other woman dead to rights. "Oh really?" she inquired. "I do not believe you."

"She's right Enyo," Marie commented. "Maybe we should all take ten minutes to calm down before we try this again. In any case. I'd like a word with Victoria. Alone, if you ladies wouldn't mind?"

Sh'Andoo rose to her feet. "We will be right outside," she commented with a nod to Marie. Ashcroft followed a moment later. Daisy, however, refused to move.

"If you aren't going to leave then at least sit over there Major. I know Celeste thinks the word of you, she'd have ended up with you had Brianna not gotten there first but that's neither here nor there."

Enyo raised an eyebrow. "Wait. Celeste is gay?"

"Yes," Marie answered. "She's always preferred the company of other women."

"You were right, this is a different universe. One filled with half-truths and mad contradictions. My friends are my enemies and my enemies are my friends. A place where some I knew died in my reality of origin live here and others who are alive in my reality are dead here."

"I'll be outside if you want to talk to her in private," Daisy told Marie.

Enyo regarded Daisy. "No. Have a seat. I wouldn't want you to start accusing me of trying to escape. After all, I might bring the end of your world or I might end the Federation." she rolled her eyes. "I mean you are just as dramatic as your counterpart from my reality. Mind a word of advice. If she catches you, kill her. you won't get a second chance."

"I'll keep that in mind," Daisy replied.

"In any event. I was not alone in the efforts to retrieve information from you, there were several others and I highly suspect that the alternate version of you-" she indicated Marie while she spoke "-will seek to find me and murder me."

"Yes, about that," Marie commented. "Why do you two hate each other. To the point, you beat the crap out of me.?"

"Because Marie is a victim of the system that's been established in my home reality, she sees me as a threat to her, considering that my loyalty was already being questioned. I mean they took my career, my commission, my command and my children away, all in one fell swoop. Of course, I'd be angry with my treatment." she regarded Daisy as her eyes fell to the Klingon woman's midsection. "How would you feel in my shoes?. Honestly."

"I'd be angry, I guess," Daisy replied.

"Think about it. Your career has been stripped from you, your children were taken from you. I assume you already have a child?" Enyo commented. "You were blamed for a massive disaster because you were the last ranking person in the area. Your crew is all dead, slain in that same disaster and your ship was destroyed at the same time. You are left with almost nothing." she explained. "Now how do you feel?"

"I'd be enraged. I'd want revenge." Marie commented quietly. "I don't how-how I could handle losing all my children, Horus, my crew and the Stalingrad, all at one time."

Enyo nodded. "Now do you understand why I'm here?" she asked softly.

"Yes, I get it," Daisy answered. "But I don't understand why you are so vitriolic with us?"

"Because all you've done since coming in here is get in my face. You believe I am a threat to Celeste Yamaguchi. You think I am unfit to live in civilized environments and you think I am insane." Enyo shrugged. "Besides you are much harder to provoke. That's how I know that you are different from the Daisy Rohr I knew. She would have lost her mind twenty minutes ago, and company or no company, she would have begun torturing me." Enyo regarded Daisy. "She's good at that, I should know. Considering she did things to me I sure don't like to think about."

Marie raised an eyebrow. "Do I dare ask?" she had a horrible feeling about what her siblings double had endured.

"No," Victoria responded. "I should also introduce myself. I am Victoria Yamaguchi. Celeste is my middle name." Enyo commented quietly. "I came to warn you of a threat to yourselves. My offer of assistance stands but I want something in exchange."

"Oh?" Marie commented.

"Yes. You can bring the other two back in now." Enyo commented.

Marie rose to her feet as she retrieved Ashcroft and Sh'Andoo. "Come on back in ladies. She's ready now."

"Excellent work Ma'am." Ashcroft smiled as she came back in, followed by the Andorian Shen. "I'm told you are ready to proceed."

"Yes," Enyo responded. "My offer still stands. I will give you what I know from an alternate reality. I will give you my paperwork as I want to remain here. In this reality. I will plead guilty to the assault charge, breaking and entering and the impersonating a Starfleet officer. All I want in exchange is to remain here, and remain in Starfleet. I am curious about you. Maybe you can help me find what I lost when I was a young woman. I made mistakes."

"I think you were confused. You didn't know who I was." Marie commented.

"Yes. I assumed you were my Marie. I didn't know who you were. Had I known? I would have revealed myself to you sooner."

"Why?" Marie inquired. "You yourself said 'You didn't know'. and I don't hold a grudge. I'm taking all of this, you, me, the hot Klingon over there as a life lesson. I forgive you for what you did. you were protecting Charon from what you perceived as a threat."

"Yes," Victoria responded softly. "He's a good boy. Celeste should be proud." Enyo paused. "I lost my way... Maybe you guys can help me find it again."

Ashcroft nodded. "Well I will need your paperwork and I don't have that."
