A vampire? Terran legends...

// Okay, so S'Ten exists because his maternal grandmother and his father, the Mirror counterparts of Trip's maternal grandmother and father, were Terrans who escaped to the Star Empire to free themselves from slavery in the KCA.

Ah, so the infamous Empress Sato is now in station custody. My father told me many things about her, stories passed down to him from his ancestors.

*S'Ten, still shocked over Crowley's casual entrance and exit from his cell and still wondering if he had hallucinated, asked the officer on duty to call @ensignro.bsky.social, which he did.*

There is nothing left for me to live for...If I had my disruptor, I would end my miserable existence once and for all. It would be best for everyone and I would regain my honor... *S'Ten complained, standing at the forcefield, hands behind his back.*

// This is another big part of S'Ten's problem. He believes that almost everyone hates him (which seems to be true in most cases) and has a big chip on his shoulder because of that belief.

// Just a Terran/Romulan hybrid totally ignorant of weed here. 🤣

*His cell still muted, S'Ten was pacing back and forth like a caged tiger. All he could think of was the woman he loved, @malabrak.bsky.social. He hadn't heard from her since the time he had told her he was in the brig. Had she forgotten all about him?*

The amton'wi-kha and her husband are now "divorced" from what I hear. No blood was shed, though.

// My relative inexperience compared to other writers.

My counterpart's father did the right thing. I am proud of him.

Perhaps he will be expelled from Starfleet the same way I was expelled from the Imperial Fleet.

I must say I am rather pleased to know my counterpart is a veruul just as I am.

And I was destined by Fate to be a veruul whose life takes him to a Bajoran prison in another universe...

*He spoke to @stevesoong.bsky.social.* Sir, if it is agreeable, I wish to speak with Captain Kira and Major Ro.

*Standing at the forcefield of his cell, hands behind his back in the traditional Romulan fashion, he mused to himself.* I wonder how long they intend to keep me confined. This experience has shown me many things about myself that I had not realized before.

*S'Ten was scrolling on the PADD he had been given to entertain himself and found an old Earth song he actually liked.* If and when I get out of here, I will have to play this for Mala... www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIiV...

*He sighed while sitting in his cell.* I must be with my beloved. I...I must abandon this path I am on, for her sake. The amton'wi-kha can live her life as she pleases. I will bother with her no longer.

@malabrak.bsky.social Dearest Mala...I am here, in the brig.

*Sitting in his cell* How disgusting. This station is crawling with brazen whores.

*When he had recovered sufficiently and remembered what had happened, S'Ten began to rant angrily.* I will teach that Bah'jorha susse-thrai a lesson! She protects an amton'wi-kha pretender to s'Khev!

*Wakes up in Colonel Torres' old cell, groggy from being shot in the head with a stun beam*

*Watching from a distance while concealed in some plants, he mused almost silently.* Hmm, this looks promising. I must prevent full reconciliation at all cost. The amton'wi-kha s'Khev pretender does not deserve happiness with anyone.

I may have to intervene to prevent the amton'wi-kha from fully reconciling with the Intendant and her wife.

Ugh, the Intendant's wife *forgives* the amton'wi-kha...This is not what I wanted. That false Romulan who pretends to lead s'Khev should suffer more.

It is not fair! My counterpart has two wives!

So now the amton'wi-kha is the head of s'Khev in the other universe...Mirror Universe insanity.

Hmm, my counterpart's family is in turmoil due to that amton'wi-kha he has for a mother. I would say I feel sorry for him, but I do not.

*Musing in the quarters he now shares with his new wife T'Par* I wonder what To'Ra was thinking when she consented to bond with Mes-tor...They cannot give her a daughter; at least I could if she had been willing to give me a chance.

*S'Ten was sitting in his quarters in the safehouse, thinking as T'Par was meditating. They had had their Romulan ceremony and were now living together as husband and wife.*

What is a "freestyle rap battle"?

@expraetorhiren.bsky.social Praetor Hiren...it is good to see you alive.

@missandry351.bsky.social You support the genocide of a people who want only to live in peace. You are not wanted here.

I hear that my counterpart is now expecting children with his wife and his lover, despite the fact that he has been with them only a short time. Meanwhile, I was married to To'Ra for 20 years and we did not have a single child. I do not consider that fair.

*Unknown to To'Ra and to the rest of the Empire, S'Ten was still alive and well. Now he was betrothed to T'Par and waiting for the Director to give him an assignment.*

Treason

*S'Ten sat brooding in his quarters in the Terran Rebellion safehouse. T'Par was there, preparing the evening meal for both of them. He was thinking of To'Ra, how he had hurt her, mistreated her, and disrespected her for years. He wished that he could go back -->

// His stupidity impresses many. 🤣

// I'll be using my new alt @mirrortomalak.bsky.social for stories about the Romulan Resistance, so if you want to see how it turns out, follow me over there. Thanks.

*The Resistance warbirds launched their first major offensive on a group of systems that were only lightly defended by Imperial vessels. The battle, though intense, ended quickly in a Resistance victory, the first one of the war. The Resistance fighters moved quickly to consolidate their victory -->

*S'Ten read the s'D'Anzii statement on his PADD while sitting in his new quarters in the Terran Rebellion refugee safehouse. The Director had been kind enough to give him and his former bridge officers separate quarters after the first night. He sighed.* "It is over. She and I may move on now."

// The Bluesky roast for S'Ten. Try not to laugh. blueskyroast.com/roast/mirror...

*After giving up his ship and weapons to Director Saavik, S'Ten and his crew sat in the refugee safehouse, feeling they had failed.* Lahae: "You did what you could, rekkhai. That is all one can ask." S'Ten: "Thank you, Lahae, but I have let our people down thanks to my impure motives." -->

*The round of public executions Praetor Rakal ordered failed to have the effect she wanted them to have. To many Romulans, they only proved that she was a bloodthirsty tyrant and a Debrune puppet just as S'Ten said. Within 24 hours, Resistance cells formed in every province on ch'Rihan. -->

*S'Ten ordered his comms officer to record him making an address.* "Subjects of the Romulan Star Empire, by now you have most certainly heard of the rebellion of the Rokhelh against the tyranny of Praetor Rakal, whose crimes against both the Romulan and Reman peoples are many. However, she is -->

My counterpart, though I hate him, is fortunate to have a wife and a conspirator who love him. I wish to have what he has someday.

*His attempt to get Iconian help having failed, S'Ten decided to attempt to form an alliance with the Terran Rebellion and the Reman Resistance. He decided to send a message to @mirrorsaavik1.bsky.social first.* Jolan'tru, Madam Director. I am Commander S'Ten of the Rokhelh. I wish to speak to you.

Hmmm...

// No longer the IRW Rokhelh, but merely the Rokhelh. S'Ten and his crew are renegades now.

Did I not speak correctly about this woman?
