This line killed me: "And I suspect that Lieutenant Moreau here is tired of being under him as well.” Talk about a double entendre. ;-)
And the plot thickens -- as in purple-plomeek-soup thick. Nice juxtaposition of another canon character. Can't wait to see what you do with her, and what happens when ISS Kirk and co return to the MU.
Things are really straying far from the original paths now, but hopefully not so far that the TIC won't be able to fix it.

We can fix everything! With a little ... work. :)
Glad you noticed that line.

Loved the switches; Travis has a chance to very quickly prove himself and take on a new role in life, totally unrelated to his previous one. He could have reinvented himself as anything, and he immediately comes across much more confident and...almost entitled to everything. Sulu, I love how he immediately also capitalizes on his situation, taking the conn of a ship that he is MORE than familiar with than the crew that controls it.
And freaking Hoshi...*sigh* Of course the empress would start plotting her new power play.
And then Travis' power play...killing mirror Spock and OUR McCoy? Ouch...harsh...
Author's Response:
Travis had to do what the little lady told him to (of course, she has her own agenda ....).

Weirder and weirder, why do I think T’Pring has something to do with the new order and more importantly how will Hoshi react to getting no-where with Sulu?
You keep the questions coming thick and fast and yet he all feels like it stayed true to the original source material. A very trick act but one you pull off well.
Mayweather with command of the ISS Enterprise and Hoshi now without a key ally no wonder Otra vision was such a big one.
Interesting diversion on the bridge by Uhura and Kirk.
Also T’Pring evil logic was fun to follow.
Another good chapter from your digital pen.

I wanted to bring the MU Vulcan in as that character has never seen in canon. Duplicitous on both sides of the pond.
