After meeting with the senior staff to discuss the mission ahead, as well as concerns about getting a cloaking device from the Romulans who were actually friendly allies with the Federation, they all went to their respective areas.
The bridge crew were at their stations. The bridge layout itself was shaped like a hexagon of sorts, with the carpet being of a mild shade of dark purple while the walls around the bridge were of a very light shade of purple with a hint of gray.
At the center of the bridge were three chairs, the captains seat, the first officer's seat to the right, and a third chair to the left where the chief medical officer, admiral, ambassador, or special guest would sit. The captain's chair was elevated a section above the first officer's and the third chair. Behind the captain's chair was the tactical station where security was stationed. Behind the tactical station was a main display of the ship with a few officers working a panel. On the right side of the master display station was a set of doors that were a turbolift. Another side door next to the turbolift led to the bathrooms for the bridge crew. On the other side of the master display station was a set of doors that led to the ready room. Moving down on both sides of the bridge were a few work stations. One of the stations is where the chief engineer could work if he were on the bridge, but it was also manned by an engineer in a gold uniform.
Going past the stations on both sides, on the right side looking in front of the bridge was another turbolift and another side door that led to the bottoms of the ship via the jefferies tube and ladders. Then there was the view screen. On the otherside was another set of doors that was the observation lounge. In front of the captain's chair were two stations, the operations station to the captain's left and the helm station to the captain's right.
O'Brien and Garak were in command, Muniz at security, and Jadzia Dax at the operations station. Various other crewmembers were at other stations.
Garak looked at O'Brien. "I can't believe Starfleet negotiated with the Romulans to provide us with a cloaking device."
O'Brien looked at the Cardassian and cracked a smile. "You're always suspicious of the Romulans."
"Because of what happened with us and them in that skirmish."
Dax swerved around from the ops station in her chair and looked at the Cardassian. "Wasn't that with twenty Cardassians that was a misunderstanding that happened about ten years ago?"
If Garak had eyes brows he would have raised them. "Yes. What are you getting at lieutenant?"
Dax let out a wry smile. "The captain is right sir, you are suspicious of them, even after they apologized." She turned back around and started working her console again.
Muniz, who was working his console, chimed in. "I agree with the others on this."
Garak glanced at the security chief then looked around the room. "I don't think I like this ship anymore."

Chief O'Brien decided to get back to his quarters and get a shower after he finished up in the mess hall. He replicated a new jumpsuit uniform and put it on. He wasn't for sure if he would get back to his own universe but felt it would still be best to wear his uniform with his combadge instead of wearing one of this universe's uniforms and combadge.
Miles decided that it would be best to partake in a tour around the ship. As he was walking around the corridors of the deck he was on, he noticed that if he ever got lost there were computer panels to the sides of him, similar to that of the Enterprise D.
The first thought Miles ahead was where he should go. He thought about going to the bridge and having a look around, but he wasn't for sure if he would be accepted up there. He thought about going to a holodeck, but even that idea didn't appeal to him since he didn't want to go. This ship may not even have holodecks. Miles thought he could go down to main engineering and have a look around. But then again the thought of him not being accepted there just like how he didn't think he might be accepted on the bridge crept up in his mind.
As he continued to walk around the corridors, he noticed various crewmembers and civilians looking at him. He smiled and nodded to the various people he saw, trying to brush off that eerie stare they gave him because he reminded them of their own Miles O'Brien. He wasn't sure what else he could do to have them stop looking at him. He could also be blunt and tell them to not stare at him, but that wasn't in his nature.
Miles passed by a room that had several windows surrounding it. He noticed a woman in her forties who was with several children of mixed species. Miles theorized that she was teaching a class. He also noticed several art works that were on the walls, pads everywhere, and even some model display ships of various starships and other alien ships.
As Miles was about to leave that area and move on, he saw the kids get up from their desks and headed out of the room. As the children exited from the classroom, he saw a half Human and half Cardassian boy who was about eight years of age look at Miles.
"Daddy!" The boy cried out.
O'Brien's eyes got wide with the surprise of the word "daddy". "Uh…." His voice trailed off. The O'Brien in this timeline is a father to a Cardassian boy?I wonder how that came to be?
The boy hugged the person he thought was his father tightly around the stomach before being pushed back by the classroom teacher.
She looked at the Cardassian boy and then back at Miles. "I'm sorry about that sir." She turned her attention back to the child. "Adrexa, I'm sorry but this isn't your father."
The boy was confused. He looked at the teacher and couldn't comprehend what she just told him. "But this is my dad. He's the captain of the ship." He looked at Miles. "Although you're wearing a different uniform today dad. Did you become an engineer all of a sudden?"
Miles looked at the teacher. "I'm a father myself. I can handle this," as he smiled to the woman. He bent down and looked at the boy named Adrexa. "Listen little guy, I'm not your father. I look like your father, and believe me I would be thinking the same thing if I were in your shoes, but your father is up on the bridge." He padded the boy on the shoulder and got up.
Adrexa looked at the man. "Sorry about that sir. You kind of look like my father."
The teacher told Adrexa to go to his quarters to see his mother. The boy complied and walked away.
Miles noticed there were several people who had stopped to see what happened and looked at him. After Miles saw them staring at him, they continued to go about their way.
The teacher looked on at Adrexa and then looked back at Miles. "Thank you for your help."
Miles smiled and nodded. "Don't mention it. I know this is somewhat unpleasant for everyone on this ship, being two O'Briens and all based on all the stares I'm getting. Anyway, have a good day."
O'Brien parted ways with the school teacher and continued walking, thinking about the half Cardassian boy named Adrexa and wondering if the O'Brien in this universe was married to a Cardassian woman.

The school teacher walked back into her room and hit a panel on her desk. "Mrs. Gallegos to Captain O'Brien."
"O'Brien here, what can I do for you Mrs. Gallegos? I hope my son wasn't acting up for you."
"No sir, but we did have a problem out in the hallway outside the classroom," Gallegos reported.
"What kind of problem?"
"Your son saw you, the other you from the other universe walking around the corridor and mistook him for you," Gallegos explained in full detail. "The other O'Brien handled the situation, and your son walked off to your quarters. I just wanted to let you know. Gallegos out."
Bridge
On the bridge, the bridge crew heard what happened. Miles looked at Garak. "I think I need to go and have a talk to my son, as well as introduce the other O'Brien to my family to not confuse anyone else." He turned to Dax. "How long before we're at the coordinates Ms. Dax?"
Dax scanned the ops panel. "About another hour sir."
Miles looked at Garak. "I need to talk with my son, as well as show the other O'Brien my family so there isn't any confusion in the future." He got up from his chair. "You have the bridge Mr. Garak."
