Jess finished her jog by entering sickbay. "What's up Doc?" She stated with a smirk while running in place. She always wanted to use that one with the Doctor.

The doc's pale white eyes looked over the pilot and giving her a warm smile. " I'm okay Jessssssica. Here for your checkup?" he asked

Jess nodded and sat on the biobed. "I've been working on my physical regiment. I find that training gets my mind off things. Reminds me I'm strong, and not a slave."

" That'sss good." The gorn said pausing as the memories of his own mirror self crept back into his mind. Shaking his head he returned to the present. " Sssorry about that bad memories from that thing that wore my face. Any injuries since your last checkkup?" he said leading her over to one of the bio beds.

Jess spoke. "Might have a few bruises from those times in the holodeck where I just have to beat the ever-loving shit out of something." She noted. "And I usually prefer if they fight back."

" Well let'sss get you on a biobed and take a look at you." the gorn said reassuringly as he lead the way.

Jessica smiled and sat on the biobed. "I think I might have really bruised the right shoulder."

" Well let'sss take a look at it. " the gorn said as he brought up his scanner. " What were you doing when thisss happened?" he inquired.

"I was kicking Gary Taylor's ass." Jess admitted.

" What'sss commander Taylor done to deserve that?" The lizard asked.

"No the OTHER Gary Taylor." Jess corrected. "Damn I wish I could have had ten minutes with him."

" Ah that makesss sssence. Though you'd need to form a line that would ssstretch around the ssship a few timesss if you wanted to truly kick hisss asss. " The gorn eplied as he went about his work.

"I've been giving other Mirror Crewmembers what-for too. Mirror Alicia, Mirror Aurelia.. Even the double of that ops officer and her boytoy." Jess noted. "Great stress relief, and it's better than going to a counselor." Jess explianed. "Though I've never fought a gorn before, but I hear Kirk did well against one.

" Well I have fought me and he nearly killed me. " The gorn said after being quiet for a minute as the face of that monster crept into his mind. " Why didn't i go for hisss head." he said quitly.

"Because you were not him, Doc." Jess mentioned. "There was another battle happening back there. That battle was us not becoming them, and that was the most important victory of them all."

" I hope your right. " The gorn said quietly. " I have a horrid feeling that he'sss going to come after usss."

Jess thought a moment. "You know just the other day, I was talking to Major Azhul about the possibility we might have left several crewmembers behind back there. That and I do not think we've gotten all of Captain Taylor's crew. Some of them might be itching for revenge."

The gorn paused at that. The thought of people being left behind was the single most terrifying he'd heard in a long time. " Who may we have left behind?" He asked softly

Jess spoke. "I don't know yet. I need to get with Nax and figure out the details. But we need a plan in case the worst happens.

" If i can assssssissst in any way let me know." The gorn said firmly.
