Sela was great helping out giving orders on ship... after her re-education in a fed facility you can release her as a special BO players can get.

Those people are why we can't have nice things.
they haven't made a fuss about leeta yet.
I've heard worst ideas... thats actually kinda depressing.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
The Leeta we get/got was a holographic Leeta...not the real thing.
Street cred.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
The MU already has a whole damn lot that dosen't make a lick of sense and a mirror sela would just be the cherry on top of that.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
But it's not the worst idea that's ever been floated through here before.
It would also break the story of every existing mission with Sela and preclude future plot developments (since then Sela's out of Cryptic's control, she's our ground minion.) People might scoff at this, but Cryptic takes their setting seriously. They're not going to give players an officer which fundamentally does not work for the STO story arc (note how every other canon character boff has been a complication-free hologram.)
If you want to break it yourself, more power to you (that's what the tailor is here for

A mirror Sela would work better in terms of fitting the reward to the STO story, characters, and setting (ie. it could happen, I doubt it would ever make logical sense for prime Sela to become a crewmember on a Republic or Federation ship). But there's still the question of "is it possible for Cryptic to use Crosby's likeness this way?" If yes, sure! It'd make for a good reward for the next MI event. If not, then oh well.

That's a safety violation. Regulations state that an airlock should be tested with the OSHA approved potato-sack-dummy on a twice monthly basis.

-1 of them got sentient because of a space anomaly and tried to murder the crew
-2 others got semi-sentient and tried to assimilate the crew into more dummies than they usually are
-1 was turned into a T'Ket clone by Q because it amused him and I had to live with a Iconian Tsundere for 3 weeks
-2 others called in sick on their first day
-3 resigned and tried to sue me for mistreatment
-1 nearly caused a war between 2 factions of a new species
-1 managed to kill two common Doffs and we still don't know how
And the Klingons' PETAQ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals without Questions) now forbids the dumping of tribbles.
So is every single person who has ever existed. Sela isn't unique in being the product of unique circumstances. Take you, for example. It's unlikely that your parents arrived here from a parallel universe but the circumstances that lead to you, me, and anyone else are fantastically improbable if you look at the grand scale of things.
Now take the odds of every applicable main character having an MU analog (despite the deep historical differences and fundamental separation of the two universes) and you'll find a number that makes any amount of narrative convenience to get an MU Sela moot (different temporal event, same result of placing Tasha Yar with the Romulans.)
There is no physical law governing just how amazingly coincidental the MU is (just take their ship design). It's just a fact of the series.

Especially one who might harbor personal resentments about having her highest aspirations thwarted. A person might get stabby over something like that, and it's been shown time and again that locks don't concern prime Sela much.

Lol, the Klingon Empire is packed with such, but the Federation is all hugs and kisses with them.
The glaring exception is Mrs. Sisko. Jennifer was alive in the MU but dead in the prime universe. Usually it was the other way around.
So, who exists in the MU is a matter of convenience. Trek writers can do pretty much what they want there and it will somehow work out that everything is the same except what they want to be different.
I'm still waiting to see the MU offspring of Spock and Marlena Moreau. A 1/4 Vulcan Assassin should be an interesting character, and now that the MU has time travel...
For me, this whole universe doesn't make any sense to begin with, with all its similarities when the overall morality, timeline, events, and standards are mostly different, but it's part of the Star Trek mythos and has spawn many homages, tropes, references, etc. for decades, so it gets a pass despite the nonsense.
And I hope Sela doesn't come back at all, personally. She was fun for a while, but she's starting to feel like a Mary Sue and I just can't buy this redemption arc we've been getting. If the devs wanted to redeem her, she should have gone down covering our escape from ancient Iconia or something.
"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."
