The crew of Waystation must rescue Yeoman Tina Jones from a parallel universe controlled by the Federation of Fun. Sure, being happy all the time sounds great at first, but wait until you see the consequences for disobedience.
Summary
When an experimental transporter array explodes in Lieutenant Craig Porter's lab, a rift is opened to the Happy Universe. The Colonel Martin Lazlo from that universe enters ours and takes Yeoman Tina Jones back with him just before the rift closes and leaves three Happy Universe security officers stranded on Waystation. Lazlo had been rebelling against the Federation of Fun in the Happy Universe and he needs Jones to pretend to be her Happy-verse counterpart, who is now deceased, to help in his plan to take over Playstation, the Happy Universe version of Waystation. Commander Lisa Beck leads a team onto Playstation to rescue Jones. They manage to take over Ops, interrupting a meeting between the alternate Beck and Travis Dillon, just as Lazlo attacks the station in the stolen USS Defiant. Lazlo and his rebels are successful in taking over the station, but the alternate Beck, Dillon, and their lackeys escape. With Jones rescued, normal universe people return home.
