Storyline
Announcement
The Terran Empire is on high alert. A mirror version of Captain Jean-Luc Picard has declared Emperor Spock unfit to rule the Empire. Together with Empress Sato, who has always schemed to reclaim the throne she once held, they sought to make an attempt on the Emperor’s life. But true to form, Sato has decided to betray her partner Picard by informing on him to Starfleet. The immediate threat to Spock must be dealt with. Will you protect Spock by working with Terran Empire authorities, secretly support overthrowing Spock alongside the Maquis, or help Section 31 manipulate both sides into weakening each other? [1]
Prologue
- Mirror Picard: "For years, the Terran Empire has followed Emperor Spock–yet he has led us into exile and disgrace, while our Federation counterparts prosper. I can no longer allow such weakness to hobble the Empire. It is time for new leadership, time to reclaim the might that once was ours!"
- Mirror Reed: "That's the last of Picard's transmission, Captain. Minutes after it aired across our homeworld, he and Hoshi Sato, calling herself "the Empress," made an attempt on Emperor Spock's life. Now they're on the run, and you're going to help us find them."
- Mirror Reed: "Consider it a matter of self-interest. Starfleet may not respect our Emperor, but ambitious traitors are the most dangerous ones. They grow bolder every day, and as long as they're free, there's nothing to keep them from dragging your precious Federation into their schemes."
Intermezzo
- Mirror Empress Sato: "I'll admit it, I'm impressed. I didn't think you'd find me, Captain, but perhaps someone as capable as you can understand the value of a deal. I'll tell Section 31 evertyhing I know--not just about Picard, but about the Emperor, too. All I ask in exchange is political sanctuary."
- Mirror Reed: "And here I thought you were clever, Sato. You can't trust her, Captain. She's only trying to bargain because she knows there's nowhere left to run. Hand her over to my people, and she'll face Terran Empire justice while we deal with her traitorous supporters."
- Mirror Jadzia Dax: "I don't trust her either, but there's a bigger opportunity, here. Let her go, and she and this Picard can keep undermining Emperor Spock. Vulcan or no, he's a tyrant, and the Maquis won't pass up a chance to knock him down a peg. Neither will I."
- choice A
- Captain: "What kind of information are you offering, Sato?"
- Mirror Empress Sato: "No one's dared to attack the Emperor in a while, but we nearly succeeded. I know his compound in and out. His weaknesses. And more importantly, I know Picard's. If he wins this fight, you'll have to deal with him eventually.
- choice B
- Captain: "What exactly will Terran justice involve, Reed?"
- Mirror Reed: "Oh, I see. You're afraid we're going to kill her. It's a tempting thought, but unfortunately the Emperor wants her kept alive. She and any other rebels we capture will serve as an ongoing lesson for other treacherous fools."
- choice C
- Captain: "If I let her go, she and Picard might one day put Starfleet at risk."
- Mirror Jadzia Dax: "Maybe, but right now they want the Terran Empire more than anything. This is the biggest threat the Empire has faced since... well, since the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance. The more they wear themselves out against Spock's troops, the easier it'll be to deal with them later."
- Mirror Empress Sato: "You know, it's almost flattering, the three of you fighting over me like this, but I did have other plans for today. If you're going to arrest me, get it over with. If not, there's a rebellion waiting for me."
Epilogue
- Mirror Reed: "Impressive work, Captain. Sato and most of her conspirators are in custody, and I will personally see to it that they spend the rest of their sorry lives there. There's only one thing that could make this day better: capturing Picard."
- Mirror Reed: "That traitor is still on the loose. I used to respect him, if you can believe it. Many soldiers and commanders did, and those who lost respect for him since he showed his true colors still fear him. As long as he's free, none of us are safe."
- Mirror Reed: "He's a patient man, and he's not going to give up his ambitions just because Sato got herself captured. If I were you, I'd tell Starfleet to be careful. We haven't seen the last of Picard."
