Ellie walked on to the bridge and stopped in front of the captain's chair. "Report!" She ordered.

"As I said, keep weapons and shields down. We are in need of medical assistance and some answers. she then opened the com to the ship. "This is Lieutenant Colonel Ellis Sheppard, acting skipper, we are about to be boarded by starfleet personnel. I require everyone to give your full assistance, that is an order! Sheppard out!"

She then turned to Jazin and nodded. "Hail the lead ship, tell them they can come aboard. We will give them no problems." And then she sat down in the command chair.

"USS Ottawa, cut your engines. Do not approach the station you will be fired upon." Called out John Stevens, who commanded the USS Hydra during this encounter.

"Do as he said," said Ellie as she nodded to helm.

"Aye, Colonel," Helm responded.

John had ordered the USS Ottawa to be scanned. The General wanted to know if this ship was imposter. John waited to see what the USS Ottawa would do in response.

"We're being scanned, Colonel," called ops.

"Let them. Do not scan them, no weapons no shields." Ellie remained seated and just waited for the things to come.

"Colonel Sheppard prepare for inspection, Commander John Stevens will meet you in the Captain's ready room." Said John, as he cut the channel. He looked to his strike team, as he nodded to the chief of security to iniatiate transport over to the USS Ottawa.

Ellie opened up a ship wide com, "This is your acting skipper, we are being boarded. Step away from your console but remain at your post. I want everyone to stand down. Give your full cooperation, again this is an order." She then got up walked to the captain's ready room. "Commander, you have the bridge till Commander Stevens arrives." She walked into the ready room to wait for the commander.

John and a couple of medical staff beamed directly to the ready room, while his team secured the bridge. "Colonel sorry about this, but if you are who you claim to be, this will be over shortly." John said, as he motioned for the medical staff to walk over to Ellie. She was scanned with a medical tricorder.

Ellie was a little startled by the sudden appearance of the commander, but didn't act on it. Now up close with the commander and the medical officer she noticed something different about the uniforms.

"Hand please, Ma'am?" Asked the nurse. She pulled out a hyprospray to collect a blood sample.

Ellie held out her hand and allowed the nurse to take off a sample.

"Thank you Ma'am." Said the Nurse as she gathered the results of the dna test. She shared the results with John. He walked over to the sofa, and took a seat. Then tapped on the combadge. "Away team, stand down, their identity has been confirmed beam back to the Hydra." Called out John, as his away team members left, but he stayed behind.

"Sorry about, but it appears you are who you say you are, and as we expected their is choniton variance in your dna, so your not from our universe." John said. Hoping Ellie would open up, about how they got to his universe.

"I thought as much as I saw your uniform up close," Ellie said. "You not only wear your ranks on your collar like we do, but also on your shoulder patches." She pointed out. She then walked around the desk and took a seat in the captain's chair. "Commander, we are here by accident. And I would gladly share with you and the general what has happened to us, but our captain has fallen ill. He is still unconscious and our medical personnel is unable to determine what has happened to him or even heal him. If you can help us in any way you can, we very much appreciate it. Please grant us passage to your station. We will of course follow your escort."

"Of Course Colonel, but I should warn you, this is not a stable area. We are a staging base of operations. But we do have some of the best medical facilities around, so let's hope we can fix the captain up in no time." Said John, noticing her uniform was different than his.

Ellie nodded. "I understand. If this area is anything like what mine is like, we can handle our own."

"How did you come to stuck I'm our universe?" Asked John, who was a little curious. He knew that the Divine Alliance had successfully open a space rift, he wondered if that rift was responsible for bringing this USS Ottawa crew to his universe.

"A singularity opened when we were on our way to the station, our station. But it was strange, at the same time, we scanned neutrino emissions inside the singularity. A wormhole opened at the same time inside the singularity and we were pulled in. At first we thought nothing of it cause we came out at the location we entered. That was until we contacted you." Ellie smiled.

"A wormhole inside a singularity, I would love to get a copy of your sensors logs." Said John, the scientist in his was starting to come out.

Ellie punched something in her computer. "That can be arranged." She then took a padd and handed it to John. "Here you go, commander. This is all we have on that singularity. It's not much. We were pulled in, came out and it was gone as soon as it appeared. As if it was never there."

"Appreciate it Colonel, hopefully we can learn from it. I have my suspicion, but I think the Divine are experimenting again with subspace rifts again, and you were pulled in, while we are looking into that, you should tend to your wounded." Said John, he could not wait to get back to the science lab on the station and review the sensor logs of the USS Ottawa.
