Host CO_Claymore says:
@::piloting the Phoenix on an approach vector:: COM: Arc: This is Captain Claymore requesting permission to dock.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: At his station monitoring the skies ::
CTO_Powers says:
::In Operations at the Tactical Station::
CTO_Powers says:
COM: Phoenix: Captain, you're clear to dock in .. ::checks his console:: Bay 3.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::in the communication center under a console hooking up the last of the dedicated com links for the Admiral::
CMO_D`han says:
::In sickbay, finishing the organization of medical files from the Admiral's staff:: Self: At last! ::looks at the chronometer:: And not too soon!
Host CO_Claymore says:
@COM: CTO: I've got it plotted, I'd appreciate you meeting me there Mr. Powers.
CTO_Powers says:
COM: Phoenix: Understood, sir.
CTO_Powers says:
CSO: Commander, permission to leave Operations and greet the Captain?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Contacts the station's honor guard, giving them the orders of the Admirals arrival ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::crawls out from under the console and stretches.  Looks around at the newly installed walls and security doors and grins:: Self: Not bad for a few days work.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CTO: On your way. :: waves his hand not even looking from his consol ::
CTO_Powers says:
::Leaves Operations after the CSO gives his word, giving the console to a junior tactical officer::
Host CO_Claymore says:
@::adjusts course to enter the docking bay::
CMO_D`han says:
::exits sickbay to go to her quarters::
CTO_Powers says:
::Arrives in Bay 3, and threads his way through to the port where the Captain should be pulling up::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::walks over to the terminal and inputs her security code locking it down.  Turns to the technician:: Tech_Guy:  No one is allowed on this terminal except for myself, the Captain or the Admiral's staff is that understood?  ::nods in approval as the tech guy nods in agreement:: Now I had better go change.
CMO_D`han says:
::enters her quarters and starts getting into her dress uniform::
Host CO_Claymore says:
@::enters the docking bay, carefully and slowly. Enters the berth and finishes docking procedures::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Notices there is two life signs in the captains vessel, one's a Trill ::

Action: Incoming message from the Thomas.

TO_Keanu says:
COM: Thomas: This is Arcadia Station, go ahead.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::waits until everyone vacates the small communications office they had just created and locks it down.  Heads to her quarters hoping that she could at least get a quick sonic shower before the admiral arrived::
Host CO_Clay says:
@COM: Arcadia: Arcadia, this is the Thomas.  We should be dropping out of warp in the next five minutes and will be arriving at your marker in about fifteen.
Host CO_Claymore says:
@::Shuts down the ship, and powers down the engines, except for the power generating operations of the Back-up cores::
TO_Keanu says:
COM: Thomas: Understood.  You will receive a flight plan in several minutes.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeps a lock on the Thomas, watching the area ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
@::shuts down Bridge operations and activates the message signal for Tari when she wakes up, then stands up and heads for the airlock::
Host CO_Clay says:
@COM: Arcadia: Understood.  We will contact you on final approach.  Thomas out.
CTO_Powers says:
::Glad he had already changed, since he anticipated this last minute bit of running around::
CSO_Washudoin says:
*CO* Sir, Washudoin here, I'm picking up two life signs on your shuttle, I was just making sure you knew this.
Host CO_Claymore says:
@::walks towards the ladder near the galley and slides down then walks towards the airlocks::
CMO_D`han says:
::carefully places her Bajoran earring back on::
Host CO_Claymore says:
@::tugs at his uniform while checking the airlock's seals::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::walks into her quarters and swears quietly as she sees the time.  Runs and hops into the sonic shower and then hurries out to the bedroom and pulls her dress uniform out shaking it to get rid of the wrinkles::
CMO_D`han says:
::exits her quarters in full dress uniform, moving swiftly, her earring jingles softly, she smiles::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::opens the airlock and steps through:: CTO: Lieutenant, I trust the break has treated you well.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: I kept myself busy sir.  Speaking of keeping busy, the stolen runabout has been recovered, with a passenger.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::hurriedly pulls on her uniform and swears again as her tail gets stuck::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: I read the reports, I haven't gotten your final one yet, the one with charges.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: If you didn't receive it yet, it should be waiting for you when you find a chance to get to your personal console.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::.  Finally gets everything on correctly and hurries out the door smoothing her fur.  Runs into the CMO who is walking past her quarters:: CMO: Oh doctor!

Action: The USS Thomas drops out of warp and proceeds toward the station at 3/4 impulse.  ETA is fourteen minutes.

CMO_D`han says:
CIV: Hello. ::smiles:: Everyone looks spiff in the dress whites.
TO_Keanu says:
::Coordinating with OPS to prepare a plan for the Thomas... the increased traffic lately isn't helping::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: Good work. You wouldn't happen to have a summery? ::motions to move with him heading towards where the Admiral will dock::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::still tugging at her uniform to pull it over a bit.  grins:: CMO: Except for my tail...I swear they put the hole in crooked. ::starts to follow the doctor down the corridor still tugging::
CMO_D`han says:
CIV: I am on my way to the Admiral's dock, I assume you are on your way?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Makes final preparations for the Thomas's arrival, motions for one of his ensigns to take his position to head out a ready himself ::
CTO_Powers says:
CO: Lieutenant Hoyt is being charged by Starfleet with unauthorized use of the runabout.  Also on his list of charges are conduct unbecoming of an officer and going absent without leave, which fall to you to decide what to do with them.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CMO: Yes...last I heard we all were supposed to be there..  So how have you been?  Did you have a nice R&R?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Makes it to his quarters quicker then ever before, pulls up his science station on a consol on the wall, checks it , and proceeds to slap on his dress gear.::
TO_Keanu says:
::Finally works out a decent flight plan and has other traffic diverted at the appropriate time.  Satisfied, he sends the flight plan to the Thomas::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: I'll need to talk with him before deciding. For now, we need to get to the welcoming ceremony for the Admiral ::walks slightly strange for a moment:: I hate how these dress uniforms bunch up in all the wrong places.
CTO_Powers says:
::Tries to keep from smiling, as the Captain might take it the wrong way:: CO: Indeed, sir.
CMO_D`han says:
::walks with Mrlr down the hall towards the lift:: CIV: I am good. I did not have R&R, I stayed on the station, getting things in order, working on the rotation of the medical personnel... ::sighs:: and organizing all the Admiral's staff's Medical files.  ::sees her tug on her uniform again:: As to your uniform.... have you seen a tailor about that?

Action: After receiving the flight plan, the Thomas alters course to follow it.

CMO_D`han says:
::pushes the button to call the lift::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CTO: How are the arrangements for the Admiral doing?

Action: The Thomas approaches the station and begins to enter the docking bay.

CIV_Mrlr says:
CMO: I did...I think these things are made uncomfortable on purpose. ::swishes her tail back and forth and then just decides to hold it at an angle::
CMO_D`han says:
::laughs:: CIV: Suit yourself. ::grins as she enters the lift::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks up to see some of the senior staff lined up:: SS: Good to see all again.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: I have a full security detail waiting for us in the appropriate docking bay.  Operations indicated they would have the quarters ready, as well as nearing readiness with his offices.  I believe Ensign Mrlr was working on them - you could ask her for a more detailed and accurate account.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Does a quick shine up of his medals, pins them all on, combs his goatee and hair placed in a tail, pulled back like some futuristic Klingon looking Steven Segal ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods to the CTO::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::leans over and whispers:: CMO: I really hate formal occasions...all the small talk and polite little smiles.
CMO_D`han says:
::directs the lift to the dock::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Checks the wall one more time, everything looks in order, heads to the docking bay ::

Action: The Thomas pulls up to its assigned berth and begins docking procedures.

CMO_D`han says:
::exits the lift and quickly arrives in her place in line::
CTO_Powers says:
::Pulls the... whistle thing from his pocket and stares at it wondering if he really has to blow it::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::skids to a halt at her place in line and straightens her jacket one more time::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Arrives in the bay, pushes his way to the front row, takes his place in line::

Action: The Thomas completes docking and the gangway is moved into place.

Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO, CMO & CIV: Commander, Doctor, Ensign ::nods to each::
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO: Hello sir, welcome back.  ::grins::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO, CMO, & CIV: Are you each ready?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Gives the honor guard the signal to line up and ready themselves ::

Action: The docking port hatch opens and two junior officers step out.  They advance on the assembled staff.

CMO_D`han says:
:nods at Claymore::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes Sir
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye sir, the Admiral's quarters are secured.
Host Adm_Smiley says:
<Aid> CO: Captain.  ::Nods::  I am Lieutenant Smith.  This is Lieutenant Corona.  We are the Admiral's adjutants.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Smith: Lieutenant, Corona: Lieutenant, Both: I hope the journey here was comfortable.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO, CMO, & CIV: Alright. CTO: Give the signals.
CTO_Powers says:
::Puts the whistle to his lips and pipes the Admiral aboard::
CMO_D`han says:
::comes to attention::
CTO_Powers says:
::His team comes to attention and then salutes the Admiral::
Host Adm_Smiley says:
::Steps through the hatch and walks down the gangway toward the assembled crew.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::listens to the whistle while at attention::

INFO: Admiral William Smiley is a tall human, about six feet 2 inches.  His nearly white hair is cropped close to his head and his thick mustache is almost white as well.  He is strongly built and looks everyone over with piercing blue eyes.

Host Adm_Smiley says:
::Stops before the Captain::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::steps forward:: Admiral: Welcome aboard, sir.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeping at attention ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::one ear twitches towards the Admiral and the Captain as she stands at attention::
Host Adm_Smiley says:
CO: Thank you Captain.  ::looks around::  Fine display you put on here.  ::Smiles slightly::  My staff will be coming aboard in a few minutes and we brought more gear than a Betazoid Matriarch on a two week cruise.

INFO: The Admiral's voice is gravelly and strong and carries a strong mid-western Earth accent.

Action: A small freighter drops out of warp near the outer marker and heads toward the station at full impulse.  It is the "Family Business", a Terran freighter with Martian registry.

TO_Keanu says:
::Notices the freighter drop out and tells it to wait its turn to dock, and would it send its business in the meantime::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::hides a grin at the Admiral's comment::
Host CO_Claymore says:
Admiral: I'm surprised sir, I was expecting three weeks worth. To speed things along my crew is ready to assist in the transfer.
TO_Keanu says:
::Does not receive a response to communications... it's listed in the databanks and isn't due to arrive for another two hours.  Keanu sends again that the freighter should wait::
Host Adm_Smiley says:
CO: ::Chuckles:: Fine, fine.  ::Claps Claymore on the shoulder::  We've had a rough couple of months Captain.  I hope that together we can shape this sector up and get Arcadia running as smooth as Ferengi slugs on a Teflon griddle.
SO_Bargle says:
:: Runs some scans over the freighter, looking for any oddities or warnings ::
TO_Keanu says:
SO_Bargle: Getting anything from them?

Action: The freighter continues on a straight course toward Arcadia.  A smaller freighter nearly collides with it as the Family Business passes in front of it.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::giggles to himself thinking: this is just what I needed someone with an extreme use of metaphors:: Admiral: Shall we begin by heading towards your quarters, that is of course when you decide which one you want ::steps slightly towards a wall console and shows a schematic of the different quarters and where each is at::
TO_Keanu says:
::The freighter suddenly becomes a threat, and he powers up the tractor beam and attempts to lock onto it:: *CSO*: Commander, we've got a freighter that's two hours early.  It's not responding to hails or instructions.  I'm attempting to lock onto it with a tractor beam, as it almost struck another vessel.
Host Adm_Smiley says:
CO: Doesn't matter to me Claymore.  I never spend any time in 'em anyway.  Just hope my office has a comfortable couch.
CSO_Washudoin says:
TO_Keanu: It's sending out high levels of radioactivity, and has a damaged EPS grid. That's about all I've gotten:
CTO_Powers says:
::Calls his team to stand down::
CSO_Washudoin says:
*TO* Understood, I'll be there momentarily.
TO_Keanu says:
SO_Bargle: Definitely a threat...
Host CO_Claymore says:
Admiral: I sympathize, if you'd like to visit the offices first then, we're still setting them up but they should be completed in the next few hours.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir, sorry to interrupt, but we have a situation with what appears to be a possible runaway freighter, It's in not too good of shape, I'm on my way to investigate, on you word.
TO_Keanu says:
::Begins alerting ships around to steer clear of the vessel, while alerting Starfleet ships to the situation and requesting assistance in stopping it::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO, CTO, CIV: Report to Operations and take care of the situation. CMO: You might be needed in the Infirmary soon.
Host Adm_Smiley says:
::Listens in on the conversation::  CO: Sounds like you are getting busy Captain.  Don't worry about me son, I'll still be around when you're done.  Just have someone take my gear to my quarters.  We'll talk later.
CTO_Powers says:
CO: Understood.  ::Dismisses his team, tossing the whistle to one of them::
CMO_D`han says:
::nods at Claymore:: CIV: Could you do me a favor and make sure Operations lets me know status of any potential patients the moment someone knows anything?
SO_Bargle says:
:: Makes his report for Washudoin when he arrives in Operations, cause his boss kind of frightens him ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
CMO: Of course, Doctor.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Acknowledged. :: Scurries off out the door towards Ops.::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks back at the Admiral:: Admiral: Yes sir, ::looks at a security Officer who appears to be assigned to the new Admiral guard detail:: Sec: Take the Admirals things.
CTO_Powers says:
::Taps his commbadge and gets a report from his TO.. doesn't sound good::
Sec_Tank says:
::Nods to the Captain:: CO: Aye, sir.
CMO_D`han says:
::leaves the docking port and hurries back to her quarters to change out of her dress whites::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::turns and follows the CSO out::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::Watches as the Admiral goes off with Security Officer Tank::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::arrives in Operations and takes over OPS for the duty_OPS.  Tries to hail the freighter again::
CMO_D`han says:
::changes back into her regular uniform::
CMO_D`han says:
::exits her quarters and goes to the infirmary::
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Takes his position in Ops and reads the report his little scared looking ensign has made for him::

Action: As the "Family Business" approaches, communications picks up the first hint of its distress beacon, masked by the radiation.  The freighter plows onward at full impulse on a direct course for Arcadia.  ETA...1 Hour and 40 minutes.

TO_Keanu says:
CIV: Ma'am, they're not responding to any hails.. wait, getting something now...
Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks around and decides there is nothing more to do than head for Operations:: *CSO*: Report.
CSO_Washudoin says:
ALL: The radiation  has been interfering with our sensors and comm.
CIV_Mrlr says:
TO: I hear it.
CMO_D`han says:
::enters into the infirmary::
CSO_Washudoin says:
*CO*: Sir, the freighter is in serious trouble, ETA is 1 hour and 40 mins.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CSO: I'm picking up a distress beacon from the freighter trying to isolate the frequency now.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters the TL and tells it to get to Operations on the double:: *CSO*: The Thomas isn't going to be able to help us this time, prepare to capture the vessel with tractor beams.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CSO: We'd have to be closer to get more accurate scans...still no response to hails.
CMO_D`han says:
*Operations*: Can you tell me what is going on out there? Is there going to be a medical emergency?
TO_Keanu says:
CSO: It's way too far out for a tractor beam... and too massive.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CIV: Excellent, *CO*: Understood Sir
CTO_Powers says:
::Arrives in Operations and attempts to make heads or tails of the situation::
CIV_Mrlr says:
*CMO*: We haven't determined if there are life signs yet Doctor.  As for now...we only have massive radiation emitting from the freighter.
CSO_Washudoin says:
Keanu: There has to be a way to increase the power of the tractor beam, check it out.
TO_Keanu says:
CSO: Sir, an Engineer or Operations Staff would be more knowledgeable about that.
CIV_Mrlr says:
CSO: Sir...could one of the runabouts at least pull it off course with it's tractor beam?
CMO_D`han says:
*CIV*: Thank you. How many are supposed to be aboard the freighter? ::tells a nurse to check on the supply of Hyronalin:: and when are they going to be here?
CIV_Mrlr says:
*CMO*: Unknown at this time, Doctor.  Stand by.
CSO_Washudoin says:
Keanu: I know this I'm just thinking aloud ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::enters Operations:: CSO: How is the crew on board?
CMO_D`han says:
::waits::
