Write your reply.

assistant: The mirrior universe is sort of an alternate universe.  It was first
discovered in DS9 by Kira and Bashir while flying through the wormhole.  In
the mirror universe, everyone plays different parts.  There is an alliance
formed from the Klingons and Cardassians...and there is no federation.
Instead humans are called terrans and are treated like slaves.  The Bajoran
people are currently at war with the alliance.
That's all I can say without going to too much detail.

the episode Mirror Mirror, where there is a parallel universe, but somewhat
different, where good characters are bad, and so on,
In fact the most recent DS9 episode, before the one with the geniusus being
helped by Bashir, featured an alternate Kira and Berial(Sp?)

Feel free.
As an exercise in radio stuff, a friend of mine and I play "Syllable".
The idea is to come up with 'unique' single syllable words that are not
'standard English', with no more than a 2-second pause.
We're up to about 240 "words" before one of us forms a two-syllable, or a
word that has a meaning.
Comes in handy in ad-lib, when you need a fake 'name'..."Drive a 1998
arge!"
"Nerb!", on the other hand, comes from Frank Kelley Freas, who drew it into
the original artwork attached to the original publication of Christopher
Anvil's "Pandora's Planet" in ASTOUNDING magazine...serialized in three(?)
issues, it appeared in the second installment.  It was an "alert signal"
inside the invader's spacecraft.  I would suggest the full-novel version of
PANDORA'S PLANET,
