Previously on Arcadia:
 
Nick:
Captain Victor Regnum has quite literally got multiple personalities inside him
 
Nick:
Himself, The Deceased Lieutenant John Bodine
 
Nick:
And his evil alternate Ego from the Mirror Universe
 
Nick:
After a large struggle in which the Evil Victor Regnum gained control of Vic's body and started attacking everyone in sight, The struggle inside his head resulted in him slipping into a coma identical to the one where he got these alternate egos months ago
 
Nick:
For the past 2 whole days he has shown no sign of waking, though scans show an unusually high amount of brain activity, as far as the Doctor can tell the battle of wills rages on...
 
Nick:
<<<<Begin "Shadows of Friendship" -- Part 3 >>>>
 
CMO Burton:
::In sickbay running tests on the CO::
 
Nick:
ACTION: All Brain activity on Regnum ceases
 
XO Martin:
::walks into Sickbay:: CMO: How's he doing, Doctor?
 
CMO Burton:
Self: Oh that can't be good.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: The CO's brain activity just stopped.
 
CTO Archen:
::in operations taking on senior duties wondering to himself when or even if ... the Captain will ever return to his post::

XO Martin:
::raises her eyebrows in surprise:: CMO: What? Why?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: It might be a result of the intense confrontation going on inside there or it could be that his brain could stand no more and just gave out.
 
XO Martin:
::rushes over to the CO:: CMO: Well, are we going to try and revive him or what? Tell me what to do, I'll help.
 
Nick:
ACTION: Regnum's heart rate starts dropping
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Perhaps letting him continue may result in the entities in his brain departing. They may be scared to perish.
 
XO Martin:
CMO: Cortical stimu-whatsits, those things that keep a brain going...and something to keep his hart going, would be a good start??
 
XO Martin:
::stares at the CMO like he's gone nuts::
 
CMO Burton:
XO: I will revive him but he will be in the exact same state as before.
 
XO Martin:
CMO: Keeping him alive is the most important thing, right now.
 
CMO Burton:
::Picks up the cortical stimulator and begins to use it on the CO::
 
XO Martin:
CMO: Have a little faith in Vic, please. He's not going to give up just like that. ::frowns::
 
Nick:
ACTION: Blood Pressure now 75/50
 
CMO Burton:
::Prepares a hypospray to stabilize the CO's blood pressure and pulse::
 
Nick:
ACTION: Blood pressure still falling
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Well this should help. I hope you are right. ::Injects the CO with the hypo::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The blood pressure starts to go back up, brain activity starts rising but is very faint
 
CO Regnum:
::opens his eyes:: CMO/XO: Doctor, Commander, how long was I out?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Slight brain activity now sir.
 
XO Martin:
::sighs a little, but then looks surprised:: CO: Two days....Vic?
 
CO Regnum:
XO: Yeah, it's me, the other... well me is gone
 
XO Martin:
::studies the Captain for a moment, not quite sure:: CO:....So...how can we tell for sure?...That it's our Captain, that is?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Perhaps we could verify that with a test of brainwaves, although they may not be accurate considering the are BOTH the CO, technically.
 
CO Regnum:
XO/CMO: You are right, I can tell you it's me, but that would mean you'd have to trust me, I could tell you something only I would know, but that won't work because I know everything he knew and everything John knew
 
CO Regnum:
XO/CMO: Which would mean he would know everything I knew
 
XO Martin:
::nods at the CMO and then at the CO:: CO: That's true...
 
CO Regnum:
XO/CMO: Suffisive to say, I don't even trust myself, it was quite a fight, you should have seen John, he fought amazingly.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: We could try Direct Reticular Stimulation, it's a procedure in which electrical energy is applied directly to the nervous system of a humanoid patient in an attempt to revive neural activity.
 
CO Regnum:
CMO: My Neural Activity is quite fine, how else would I be talking to you?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: However this may revive the entity if it still is within the CO's brain and just dormant.
 
CO Regnum:
XO: There is only one thing to do Commander. Get a view screen here and contact Starfleet Command.
 
CO Regnum:
CMO/XO: Eh, I didn't fair as well, in the match. That over Vic is something ..
 
XO Martin:
::thinks for a few moments, then shakes her head at the CMO:: CMO: No...I don't think we need to try that...::looks back at the CO:: CO: Yes sir...

CMO Burton:
CO: And you are telling me that the others have been dispatch from your brian?
 
TO MJDoole:
::senses something not quite right in Sickbay, but stays in OPS, like asked::
 
XO Martin:
::shakes her head again at the doctor, as she pulls a portable viewing screen to the CO's bed:: CMO: Only the alternate universe Vic is gone. John is still there.
 
CMO Burton:
::Scans the CO for any other signs of foreign neural activity::

CO Regnum:
CMO: The other Vic is gone, if he's still here, John and I can't find him, John's still here, but we've come up with an... agreement of sorts.
 
Nick:
<Admiral O'Malley> ::appears on the viewscreen:: COMM: CO: Admiral O'Malley here, what can I do for you Captain?
 
CMO Burton:
::Looks cautiously at the CO remembering the beating he took at the hands of the alternate CO::
 
XO Martin:
::stands on the other side of the bed, so she can see and hear the conversation between the Admiral and the CO::
 
CO Regnum:
CMO: Yeah, I'm here with Vic, to .. so well off though. My detached consciousness’ was easy pray ... I can't hold out in Vic as I did before. These are likely my remaining thoughts for who knows how long.
 
CO Regnum:
COMM: O'Malley: Hello Admiral, as I'm sure Commander Martin has informed you all already, I've had a problem with... other personalities inside my head, one of which was one that could be considered a serious threat to the Federation.
 
TO MJDoole:
*CMO*: How's it going , Doc?
 
CMO Burton:
*TO*: Fine so far, but you never know when me might need you up here.
 
CO Regnum:
COMM: O'Malley: I have, with the help of the echo of Lieutenant Bodine, rid my brain of this evil presence, however I can't be certain yet that he is permanently gone.
 
TO MJDoole:
*CMO*: Well I'll be here in OPS if you need my help
 
CO Regnum:
COMM: O'Malley: I respectfully request to be placed on indefinite leave of absence, and be sent to Vulcan. I think the Vulcans are probably the only ones who could possibly help me.
 
TO MJDoole:
::watching the security patrols on view screens in the Security Office next to OPS
 
TO MJDoole:
and looking out over OPS from time to time::
 
Nick:
<Admiral O'Malley> COMM: CO: Very well Captain, effective immediately you are no longer in command of Arcadia Station, You are to be kept under surveillance until your arrival on Vulcan, I'll let them know of your impending arrival. ::looks at a PADD:: The U.S.S. Weasley will be in your sector tomorrow, I will order them to pick you up and take you on to Vulcan.
 
CTO Archen:
::sees a solar flare on sensors concerned it might disrupt their subspace relay he bounces the signal off another tracking station::
 
CMO Burton:
CO: Before you depart there are several treatments we could try a Engramatic purge to erase the unwanted portion of you memories.

Nick:
ACTION: 1 day and 3 hours later, a restrained Captain Regnum is standing next to the airlock with the staff, including Admiral Hamilton
 
XO Martin:
::doesn’t particularly seem pleased:: CO: I kind of wish you could have been leaving the station under different circumstances, sir.
 
CMO Burton:
::Readies the PADD he has downloaded al the CO's medical information onto::
 
CTO Archen:
CO: Sir, I'd shake your hand, Captain ,, well anyway. It was an honor sir .. Security: Treat him right now ...
 
CTO Archen:
::salutes firmly::
 
CO Regnum:
XO: So do I, but it's not certain that it's safe to have me unrestrained.
 
CO Regnum:
All: It has been an honor serving with each and every one of you
 
XO Martin:
::hesitates for a second, before giving the CO a hug:: CO: You'll be missed. Hopefully you can return some day.
 
XO Martin:
::steps back and salutes the CO smartly::
 
CO Regnum:
XO: I hope so, but even if I do, it won't be as the Captain of Arcadia. Starfleet has granted you the big chair Trial, congratulations, you deserve it.
 
CMO Burton:
::Hands the PADD to the to the orderly accompanying the CO::
 
XO Martin:
::looks surprised, but nods after a moment:: CO: I hope I can do as good a job as you did, sir.
 
CO Regnum:
XO: You will Commander, or should I say Captain, I'd give you the new pip myself, but...
 
CO Regnum:
All: John would like to say something, I'll give him control for a moment
 
CO Regnum:
<John> ::comes out of a rest state:: XO: Thanks for that pleasant memory. The Hug I mean. I think we both appreciate it. ::smiles::
 
XO Martin:
::turns a little pink at John's statement, but doesn’t say anything, looking somewhat flustered::
 
CO Regnum:
::shudders, taking control again:: All: Well, I've stood here long enough, Captain Edgewood has a busy schedule to keep. Goodbye everyone ::turns and walks through the airlock::
 
CMO Burton:
::Watches as his CO walks away::
 
Nick:
ACTION: The Door to the airlock closes behind the Captain.
 
XO Martin:
::continues to hold her salute until she can't see the Captain anymore::
 
Nick:
<AdmiralHamilton> XO: Well as Vic already spilled the beans. Commander Martin, Lieutenant Commander Archen, step forward please.
 
Nick:
<Edit XO and CTO>
 
CMO Burton:
XO: I am sure you wish it could have been under different circumstances, but congratulationson your command sir.
 
CTO Archen:
::taps a wall console contacting the flight deck for final approvals to clear the dock of all traffic and authorize the ship carrying the Captain for depature::
 
XO Martin:
::nods at the CMO and looks at Archen, waiting for him to step forward as well::
 
CTO Archen:
::deactivates the LCARS console and steps forward::
 
XO Martin:
::steps forward, next to Archen::
 
CTO Archen:
Adm: Admiral, Sir? ::looks inquisitive::

CMO Burton:
