=====Through The Looking Glass=====


((Make-Shift Sickbay - Klingon BoP))
::Dodge left to see what the emergency was while Paul went back to
his experiments.  He lifted the tri-corder so he could read it
better and saw that there was time for it to run the complete
tests.  Paul figured this would be a good time to catch up on his
rest, seeing how he knew there would be little time later.  He sat
back in his chair and drifted off to sleep.::
((Dream))
::Laughter, evil, maniacal, laughter.  Paul opened his eyes only to
see his own image in a mirror.  He looked around the room he was in
and saw that it wasn't the Klingon Sickbay, but the bath facility in
his quarters on the Constitution.  He ran hot water from the faucet
and splashed it on his face, then looked up into the mirror.  His
reflection looked back, then winked.  Paul hit the wall behind him
as he stumbled away from the mirror.  His image laughed the same
laugh he had heard earlier, and what was eerie, he now recognized as
his own voice.::
Diamond: Impossible, this can't be happening.
Image: Of course it can, anything can happen here; it's your dream.
Diamond: I'm dreaming?
Image: Kind of slow on the up take, aren't you?  It's surprising
you've made it this far.
Diamond: ::taking a closer look and the image mimicking him.:: Who
are you?
Image: You know who I am, look close and remember.
Diamond: ::anger, and then fear went through Diamond as he realized
who he was seeing:: SNIPER!  But I killed you.
Sniper: ::smiling:: See, you DO have brains, you just need to use it
more.  Yes, you killed my body, but my spirit lives in you.
Diamond: No, that's impossible, I don't believe you.
Sniper: You can believe what you want, but I'm telling you, I'm
being reborn inside you.
Diamond: How?
Sniper: By creating you in my image.  Think about it, you have
changed since you left the planet, haven't you?
Diamond: ::wary of giving information, but not wanting to lie:: Yes,
but that's the Brikaran DNA in me.
Sniper: Ah yes, the foreign DNA, now that was a blessing to me, it
is helping me in ways you can't imagine even I couldn't imagine.
Diamond: But what does that have to do with anything, I'm not
turning into anything like you.
Sniper: You're not?  Think about it.  Let's look at the facts here. 
One; you have become more aggressive in your interactions with
others, lashing out at some physically, almost killing your brother-
in-law.  If it wasn't for "mommy" you might have.  And later,
verbally belittling your crewmembers, honestly, letting that
counselor off so easy like that, you should have beaten her for
spilling the beans.  I would have killed her.
Diamond: ::grasping at that straw of hope:: See, I'm NOT like you, I
didn't kill her.
Sniper: I said I was creating you, not that I was finished yet. 
You're too much of a goody goody to do this quickly. ::shaking his
head:: Where was I?
::The image of Sniper began to pace back and forth in the mirror,
which gave Paul a creepy feeling, as Paul stood and watched.  He had
no idea how this was being accomplished, so this must be a dream
like the image said.  Paul also knew that the image was speaking the
truth so far, he had done all those things that were mentioned. 
Finally Sniper stopped and looked at Paul with a huge, evil smile.::
Sniper: I know, your temper.  You have been flying off the handle
more and more, easier and easier, haven't you?
Diamond: Yes, like I said…
Sniper: I know, I know, the DNA.  Would you stop using that as an
excuse and face the facts that there is something higher working
here?
Diamond: You've only mentioned one example, and that doesn't prove
anything, that only proves I need help with controlling this.
Sniper: Alright, you want more proof?  How about you're womanizing?
Diamond: ::shocked:: My WHAT?  I'm not a womanizer!
Sniper: What do you call it?  You're jumping from one woman to the
next like used clothes.  Now if it were me, I'd kill them, but that
will come soon enough.
Diamond: What in the world are you talking about?
Sniper: ::sigh:: I guess I'll have to spell it out for you.  First
there was Kays, she left you because work came first, you sap, and
she was good, at least in my universe.  She wasn't gone that long
when you replaced her with that half-breed Klingon Volana Mercury
from my universe, and then when her usefulness was over, poof, she's
out of the picture.  Now it's that shrimp of a tri-breed, Yladro.
Diamond: ::becoming angry:: Don't you DARE talk like that about her!
Sniper: ::acting afraid:: Oh, big bad doctor going to beat me
up? ::laughs:: Good luck, never happen.  Looks like I struck a
nerve, you MUST have feelings for her, true feelings for you to
stand up to me like that, well, I'll take care of those for you, you
won't have to worry about that again, Ill make you realize what
women are actually for.
Diamond: If that's what I have to look forward to, I'll kill myself
first.
Sniper: You won't do that; you have too much to live for.  Besides,
what makes you think I'll allow that?
Diamond: ::changing tactics:: Why are you doing this?
Sniper: Because you want me too.
Diamond: What do you mean I want you to?
Sniper: Remember when you were told that I represented paths not
taken?  Well, your subconscious wondered what it would be like if
you choose my paths, and here I am.  And we are fast approaching the
time for you to fade away and me to take over.
Diamond: I'll never give up with out a fight.
Sniper: You don't have a choice in this; I'm the stronger of the two.
::With that, Sniper reached out of the mirror and grabbed Paul by
the lapels of his uniform.  Paul felt himself being pulled towards
the mirror and there was no way to stop it.  Out of desperation,
Paul swung his fist at the face of Snipers image in the mirror.  He
saw it make contact, but instead of the mirror breaking he first
felt his hand break, and then the pain.  He opened his eyes and he
was back in Sickbay on the Klingon ship.  As he assessed the damaged
hand, he heard the laughter fade away in his head.::
Diamond: Damn, that hurt.
