NARRATIVE: ((Note: The Following is filed before the results depicted in A Price to be Paid))
Earlier today as of the stardate on this report this officer was visiting Event Horizon before a new shift rotation when they and several others of the officers listed above were presented with one Mondet behind the bar acting as a bartender, a position they do not hold and never have, though they believed it to be a known fact. The initial assumption of a joke was put away as a second Mondet in a medical uniform, also not their known position, appeared. It quickly became clear we were seeing something unusual, and this officer being a commanding officer of the known LtJG Mondet, unfortunately was aware that this did not seem an unlikely result of one of their experiments. At this time no known experiment had been approved for the record.
Leaving the lounge with a number of the officers, another Mondet was encountered on the Promenade claiming to be an adventurer fighting pirates before appearing here. They were a bit unruly at first but calmed down, nonetheless we called station security and alerted them to the apparent situation of multiple variations of Mondet appearing, and to try to handle those we've seen. We knew we had to determine how this happened and how to stop it from worsening. Initially planning to go to a station science lab, during this officer's check in with the U.S.S. Shackleton a sign of other Mondets that were perhaps more dangerous caused communication to fall out. This led to us working with Station Ops to get a site to site transport to the Shackleton bridge. At this time we were also aware other nearby ships had also been seeing this phenomena, including U.S.S. Baton Rouge.
After confirming Captain Derenzis was alright (though injured, but stable), we went to Science Lab 11, the known Mondet's workspace, to see if we could determine what happened. There we encountered three different Mondet's of varying rank, all from different universes, who explained ours and they three all attempting the same experiment at once caused some sort of reality breakage that sent ours careening across multiple universes while all the variations of him from them were deposited here. They were trying to work out a solution, which Lt. T'Lal joined them in working on. As they did this a violent and perhaps deranged Mondet entered the lab with a weapon intent on destroying the device needed to solve the problem. Captain Nimitz detained him and we kept him guarded while the others finished. Running their plan, all the alternate Mondet variations swiftly vanished from view. At first it seemed we were not receiving ours back as expected, though Lt. T'Lal said it may take time.
I was prepared to shut off the device if all the others had left after a certain time limit on the chance we weren't going to see ours (we had no proof he was still alive in fact) to ensure no further incident, but before I could bring this up ours appeared. The device was shut down and our Mondet, clearly frazzled and disturbed by his experience, was seen to by medical specialists and taken to sickbay.
RECOMMENDATION: The gravity of the situation cannot be understated... we later confirmed the alternate Mondet individuals were appearing in exponential numbers as time went on.. it is entirely possible the risk of severe casualties could have occurred. Luckily we prevented this but I have locked Lab 11 for an investigation into the device and the experiment to ensure it isn't repeated. For now our Mondet is being treated for injuries and perhaps psychological trauma, but I can confirm no safety precautions were taken and no authorization was sought to run any experiments by him this day. I will be thusly recommending several punitive measures to Captain Derenzis as this is unfortunately not the first dangerous incident to result from one of Mondet's experiments.
OOC: This is for the event A Crisis of Infinite Mondets run of Sunday July 5th at Beta+1. If I have misrepresented anyone's actions please let me know. Thank you Derenzis for running this event, it was quite entertaining, even if Tala disagrees.
