"Yeah. You just startled me... Did you have fun?" Aria did her best to put up a facade not wanting to trouble him with an idiotic dream or her insecurities.

"Yeah I did was exploring the Bajor holosim I made. We should go together sometime since we probably won't get back anytime soon and well...I'd like you to have better memories than the last time we were there."

"Sure. I'd like that." Aria replied a slight ting of jealousy brewing that he took Jill first given how long they'd been together.
"Well um I don't want to keep you up any later. I know how you are with sleep." Aria chuckled slightly and patted the hand that was wrapped around her.

Li smiles and leans in to kiss her.
"Love you."

"I love you too." Aria replied with a smile when he kissed her, then lay there quietly her mind racing for a long while before she could once again drift off to sleep.

Li leans his head back next to hers and drifts off to sleep.

((On the night before the current away mission))
Aria stood in the sonic shower, her eyes closed, relaxing as sonic waves gently washed away the built up grime of another day. She sighed throughly relaxed by the gentle buzzing feeling before reaching for the control panel to pause it momentarily so she could lather herself up with her pers ription pheremone neutralizing body wash. She grabbed the bottle in one hand aiming the nozzle to her free hand and gave the bottle a squeeze only to be rewarded with the whistling of air.
"Ugh." Aria groaned as she gave the bottle a few more unproductive squeezes before giving up, exiting the shower and heading to her temporary quarters replicator.
"Computer one bottle of pheremone neutralizing body wash, strawberry scent please." Aria requested politely.
"Request denied perscrption in need of renewal." The computer replied coldly.
"Ugh." Aria groaned and threw her hands up in the air in frustration. "I just want to go to bed I don't have time for this!" She exclaimed to no one in particular, before remembering she had left a mostly full bottle in her and Li's joint quarters. Aria's shoulders slumped as she realized what she would have to do. Quietly she drug her feet as she made her way to her bedroom to get dressed. A few minutes latter with a figurative cloud over her head Aria trugged out fully dressed to her old quarters.
The walk while in actuality a short one seemed to take forever until finally she stood in front of the door she dreaded to enter. Aria took a deep breath then pressed her hand to the access panel the door opening with a swish as it recognized one of its registered occupants. Aria stepped inside to find the lights on low with a strange point of light coming from the ceiling pointing at a wall. Aria paused letting her eyes adjust before looking around to find cloths scattered all around. In the darkness it took a few moments for her to realize one garment was a discarded bra. Aria's heart sank even before her eyes shifted to the couch to find Li & Jill cuddling with a blanket enveloping them both except for their heads and the lower portion of one of Jill's legs. It was then Aria recognized the source of the strange flickering light it was the projector she had replicated to watch movies with Li. She felt her heart sink more realizing how throughly she had been replaced. The couple on the couch seemingly ignoring her Aria quietly made her way to the bathroom.
"Can you be quiet with the whole grabbing your junk thing. We are trying to watch a movie." Jill called as Aria walked past.
Aria could feel tears well up in her eyes as she continued to walk quietly until she was in the bathroom and closed the door behind her. Aria grabbed the bottle of body wash out of the shower and looked around quickly noticing Jill's accoutrements had set up shop in the bathroom Aria used to call her own. Aria stood at the door doing her damdest to keep from crying as she prepared herself for the mentally trying task of walking past them to escape back to her new digs. As she stood there taking deep relaxing breaths she could barely make out a conversation from the other room.
"I can't believe she thought her moving out would be like a punishment." Jill said with a snicker.
"More like a upgrade. Everything's better with you." Li replied before the conversation died leaving only the soundtrack of the movie barely audible.
Aria choose this moment to make her escape only glancing momentarily at the couch to catch the lovebirds making out before she was at the door and then safely in the hall and making her way back to her quarters. When she arrived as the doors swooshed open Aria opened her eyes realizing she was in her bed burried under the sheets just having awoken from a dream. Aria sighed and wiped some tears from her cheeks as she threw the sheets aside and got out of bed already fully dressed in a uniform for some reason. Aria looked down at herself finding this development odd but decided to roll with it.
"Computer normal illumination bring it up slowly please." She stated as she paced about the small bedroom clearly agitated. When the lights finally where at normal illumination she added "Computer connect me with the Zorins on Bajor." The computer beeped confirming her request and soon Meru's face lit up the rooms console.
"Aria, dear, so good to hear from you what's the occasion?"
"I um. I have a question about bajoran customs and norms and I don't know who to ask."
"Honey I'm your Mother in law you can ask me anything."
"So um. Is it normal for um married bajoran men to spend lots of time with a woman other than their wife that they have you know feelings for?"
Meru's brow furrowed and she leaned closer to the camera. "Who is she?"
"What?" Aria responded uncomfortably.
"This woman."
"Um a human named Jill I don't know if you met her..."
"Oooh the pretty Brunette." Meru paused for a moment her expression softening. "This is great news! I mean I thought I raised Li better than to cheat but oh my gosh a human is far better than an Orion. Oooh I wonder if she worships the prophets. Oooh their babies will be so cute and normal looking. I mean no offense Aria you are probably the best Orion there is because of your upbringing but you know what they say. You can take a whore out of the whorehouse... but she's still a whore."
Aria's jaw dropped open not knowing how to respond.
"Honey honey I have great news Li found a nice human girl we will have a new daughter in law soon and maybe normal looking grandbabies too!" Meru shrieked excitedly before running off screen to her husband leaving the feed running.
Aria sat up suddenly in her bedroom the lights off and threw the covers burying her aside to find herself dressed in a oversized t shirt as usual. She then pinched herself to confirm this wasn't another dream, before wiping tears from her cheeks, screaming in frustration and flinging one of her pillows at the wall. For a moment she thought about getting up and going for a run before she remembered she was still slightly sore from her last run which was far too long for the utter lack of preparation she had done for it. She then decided simply crying herself back to sleep would have to suffice before she let out a sigh and accepted her fate.

Aria looked down at her skin rotating her hand slowly, as she woke from her slumber. The white skin before her eyes throwing her off.
"What the heck." Aria mumbled before running into the bathroom to look in the mirror. The image that looked back at her was familiar but was different. The same emerald eyes looked back at her, her features where the same but her complexion was that of a human, a pale white, and her hair blonde. Aria stared in disbelief her hand reaching up and poking her face then grabbing some of her hair and bringing it to where she could see it without the help of the mirror. Her daze was only broken by the beeping of her combadge, conveniently laying on her sink she tapped it unsure what to say.
"Morning time to rise and shine. We have an empire to infiltrate." T'Ghor's voice boomed over the small device.
"I uh. Oh yeah.... Um do we have outfits ready?" Aria replied timidly. She had undergone a cosmetic bleaching of her skin last time to pass as human in the mirror universe. It made sense she was doing it again, plus maybe their hair would throw off anyone who remembered her from the last time years ago. But why didnt she remember any planning or preparation.
"Yeah you feeling all right SuD Chal. I dropped off one of their uniforms last night..."
"Oh yeah. Huh just ugh its early. I'll meet you by the transporter room in five?" Aria rushed into her room finding the garment in question waiting laid out perfectly on her bed.
"Sounds good." The Klingon replied.
Aria quickly donned the uniform raising a eyebrow as she realized it exposed her midriff and the skirt was much shorter than she would like but she shrugged and headed off to meet T'Ghor. Aria found him and Valkriss in front of the transporter room in traditional warrior attire but with their hands cuffed together in front of them, Jagoda and Nadine where also present both dressed in Terran empire uniforms.
"Ok so quick rehash." Valkriss barked as she narrowed her eyes at Aria. "We are your prisoners you are taking us to the brig or sickbay or whatever for us to be processed or experimented on. Then when the times right we strike and overpower them rescue our Serris and destroy all the data they have on his work. Questions?"
"That's the plan?... It seems imprecise and reckless." Aria stated with a confused look on her face as she looked at Valkriss.
"We already went over this shut up don't disagree in public and go with it ok?!" Valkriss hissed.
Aria simply nodded then took her place on the transporter padd with the rest of the team. Strangely T'Pang stood at the controls for the transporter personally beaming them off to their mission.
The gaggle of people walked down the halls of the ISS pilgrim the lighting darker with occasional smattering of propaganda posters on the walls. The gaggle walked and walked unsure what they where looking for or where they where going exactly until a pair of security personnel in full armor with un-slung rifles stepped into the middle of the hall blocking their path. The group tried to continue but froze once the weapons where leveled in their direction. Aria turned around to see two more in a similar stance where behind them blocking any chance of retreat.
"Whats the meaning of this we uh... We have prisoners that need to be taken to be uh. be prepped for experimentation. You know how the doc Zala gets if you make her wait." Aria stated trying to look threatening but coming off as scared.
A lieutenant walked boldly through the two armed men holding out a tricorder he began laughing at the utterance of Zala's name.
"Zala? Haha. Wow you know if your pheromones hadn't of given you people away statements like that would of. Zala hasn't been on this ship for what probably three years at least now... See she messed up let some Orion saboteur on board then when she realized her mistake she spaced some slaves to try and cover it up. Stupid cardassian. She was dealt with afterwards and well to keep that from happening again... We instituted countermeasures to detect your kind."
Aria went pale and looked around hoping for some sort of opening to escape the current situation.
"Aw the look on your face right now its priceless. I'll commend you, your pheromone count is low... But not as low as the surgically altered play things we allow on board. Now surrender like good little boys and girls before we have to get rough." The man with the tricorder stated in a nonchalant manor.
In a flash of motion the Klingons dropped their chains to the ground and began to charge only for the 4 rifle armed men to hose the whole group down with phaser fire.
The next thing Aria knew she was opening her eyes in a dark room. Her skin tone was back to normal but her outfit... Some underwear was more concealing. Aria panicked and begin rushing around the room looking for a way out a console anything, only finding bare walls a toilet, sonic shower, and a large bed that looked more comfortable than anything else in the room. As her mind raced a wall opened up and the officer from earlier walked in the wall closing seemlessly behind him.
"So. I had out doctors use some dermal generators to get your cholorofil count back up. On board we like our Orions to look Orion. Now tell me everything you know about star fleet defensive and offensive systems."
"What?" Aria asked looking confused.
"We know who you are and where you are from. You fell for our bait now that blue troll and his boy toy get rewarded with extra privileges and you and your crew give us all the information we need to make our pending invasion so much easier."
"No." Aria stated shaking her head as she paced outside his reach in the far corner of the room.
"I'd recommend against that. See you are a prisoner. You have committed crimes against the empire... And you are a member of a lesser species. You exist to serve us to help humanity reach its manifest destiny. If you wont help then there are other ways you can serve us..."
Aria stopped and stared at him with hate in her eyes but saying nothing.
"See you are very attractive and no matter what you will serve the empire. You can cooperate tell us everything you know then you will be a plaything for the command staff. Or you can resist and then well. We have what seventy four seventy five pent up males on board plus maybe some females who might want to try you out... They tend to get a bit rough and break their toys pretty fast though... It's why they can't have nice things. So as I was saying tell me everything you know about star fleet defensive and offensive systems." A small shit eating grin forming on his face as he looked at her and took a step forward closing the distance between them.
"I. I'm not going to betray the federation." Aria answered after a short pause.
"Fine so be it. In a few days we will revisit this. Until then I caught you so I guess I better test out the goods before handing you over to those plebs. Plus I've always had a thing for blondes." He sneared before roughly grabbing Aria by the hair spinning her around and slamming her into a wall.
Aria's eyes shot open as her heart raced her eyes darting around the room until she realized she was in her quarters safe on board the USS Pilgrim and had simply rolled off of her bed. Just to be safe she wandered into her bathroom and glanced at her mirror. She sighed and smiled when she saw a raven haired green skinned Orion looking back at her. Tonight is a excellent night for a surprise inspection of Gamma shift. Aria though to herself as she looked at the bed and thought about the dreams that may still lay in wait for her there. Yes a surprise inspection would be good.
