Welcome to Traveler Research HQ

Bi-monthly, the research teams will meet altogether to discuss recent discoveries, compare notes, and perhaps cause unintended mischief. All research team members are welcome to attend and to give their input. While it's expected that each member will want to talk amongst their own team, they are welcome to join the conversations going on at other tables.

OOC Information

These semi-weekly posts are for IC third-person comment war opportunities, to help encourage conversation and potential arguments. Starter topics will be provided below to help you. Threads are also welcome, but should be separate from the topics provided below. Threads or comment wars that extend to 10 total good-sized comments can be counted for activity check. If you have any questions, please let Ashley know. The hope is that you will use this opportunity for topical development that can lead to further plots.

P.S. No one is expecting anyone to be physics geniuses. Feel free to make stuff up as you go along.

	I'd love to hear more about this Mirror Universe. Where I'm found we've discovered multiple Earths, and we've dubbed a couple of the others we've found as Earth-2 and Earth-3. Terribly original, I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There are technically an infinite number of quantum realities. Every major decision and even many smaller ones can create offshoots from the flow of time. The reality we're in right now splintered from mine thanks to an incursion from my timeline.

But the Mirror Universe seems to basically be opposites. Where the worse parts of humanity thrived, and they conquered the galaxy. An Empire, instead of a Federation.

Evil twins. More or less.

My Kirk was swapped with their Kirk due to a freak transporter accident. A hundred years later, DS9 had several run ins with that universe. The Empire had been defeated, and humans enslaved by an alliance of Klingons and Cardassians. Apparently, our Kirk convinced their Spock to attempt to reform the Empire. Weakened, they were overrun by the Alliance.

A lesson in consequences. There were several attempts by a human rebellion to use our technology and people to try to overthrow the Alliance.
