ON:

Ethan, safe in the womb of his ship grimaced at the injury he had taken from Xu. Sometimes he really hated playing the part of a drunken man, and at times he got injured. The woman was dangerous, he mentally cursed himself at having been thrown off by seeing her. The raven haired sleeping beauty, that lay in medical and seeing her counter part it threw him. And Ethan cursed himself, about that happening. It was time to report into Captain Reynolds, though. On a secure channel, Ethan sent a message, he knew the USS Andromeda was in the AU.

Using the agreed upon code and the secure channel he had set up with the Captain, and waited for the man to answer his call.

"Lieutenant you are here in the AU?" Jon asked. This he had not expected.

"Yes I am, and I had been partnered with an El Aurian named V, well that was her nickname. Things got into a bit of a serious nature, Sir. Damned woman who looks like Xu, she is a piece of work. You're counter part, he's been making deals." Ethan moved slightly wrong and gave out a slight groan.

"My counter parts here? That's not good. Hes the emperors brother. I'm trying to keep a low profile," Jon said. "Are you okay?"

"I will be" Ethan said gruffly. "had a tangle with AU Xu and not in the fun way either. She is your counterparts bodyguard. And he is definitely quite the rogue. He has the crown now, as they are negotiating a few things. I haven't come across my AU counterpart as of yet and don't know if I want to do so. Unless I can infiltrate where he is at. How are things faring there?"

"My counterpart. Has the crown? The goddesses one? Hang on Xu ... as in .... well ours is in a coma. So shes not birthed a goddess here?" Jon said his mind a whirl.

"No, the Xu here hasn't given birth to a Goddess, not that I know of. And your counterpart does have the crown now. I've been working on getting the rest of the outfit and jewelry. Had made a contact, don't know how viable that will be after this encounter. I did see an away team from the Andromeda but am not certain who's away team it was. I didn't dare try to contact them, had to play it cool. Do you want me to rejoin the ship or go back out to dig up more information?" Ethan asked.

“Rejoin the ship Lieutenant,” Jon said firmly. He had no idea how their Ethan had managed to get here but perhaps he had a clue as to how everyone could get back. And he wasn’t risking leaving a man stranded here if no when he found a solution.

"Very well sir, I will be back soon enough. And sir, I am very relieved it is you." Ethan responded. He put in the coordinates where the Andromeda was and flew his little ship to rendezvous with home base.

“I look forward to the debrief,” Jon said.

"Very well sir, Lieutenant Smith out." Ethan closing the communications. He was looking forward to going back home.
