Host Nick says:
Mission Summary: 10605.29 =-= Previously on Arcadia... Starfleet has built 2 large rings over 530 meters in diameter, one in the Briar Patch, one in the Delta Triangle near Bellatrix
The purpose of these rings are to create a transwarp conduit almost 200 light-years across, h shortening the travel time between Risa and Bellatrix to a matter of minutes instead of days. 
The Crew of Arcadia, on board the U.S.S. IO has been assigned the task of testing the viability of this conduit and has now passed through the Briar Patch ring and entered a transwarp conduit.
Captain Martin stayed on Arcadia to meet with some Risan dignitaries and so the IO is under the command of Lieutenant Commander John Bodine.
The former commander of Arcadia Station, Captain Victor Regnum, has accepted a post with Starfleet Communications and is on board the I.O. to monitor the viability of subspace transmissions through transwarp.
The ship has just entered the conduit and is going faster then most Starfleet starships ever go. How with the IO fare in the journey through subspace, will Lieutenant Commander Bodine's first mission in command of a starship be his last? Will Doctor Burton enjoy his new post as OPS Officer, tune in to Arcadia, coming up next!

XO Bodine says:
::On the Bridge still hanging onto his seat::
OPS Burton says:
::Closely monitoring all power systems as they move through the transwarp corridor::
XO Bodine says:
CNS: ETA ... Flight ....
OPS Burton says:
XO: All power systems appear nominal sir.
Host Captain Regnum says:
::Moves to Science II and monitors subspace transmissions:: XO: The Transwarp conduit is definitely interfering with subspace transmissions, it is probably what caused the static before, you should try and see if you can get a hold of Captain Eastwood.
XO Bodine says:
Regnum: Good Idea sir.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Open a Channel
OPS Burton says:
CNS: Any idea how fast we would be traveling if we were at true warp?
CNS Rose says:
XO: ETA 10 minutes sir.
Host Captain Regnum says:
XO: You spent nearly a year in my head, when you going to stop calling me sir.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: 10 Minutes to pass through, are you serious?
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Tries to open a to Captain Eastwood::
XO Bodine says:
TO: Engineering report what are the hull stresses?
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Hull stresses are fine.
Host Captain Regnum says:
<Captain Eastwood> COM: XO: This is Captain Eastwood aboard the Tevan, how does it feel in the stream Commander.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: How is helm control responding?
CNS Rose says:
XO: yes sir, 10 minutes.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Almost no helm control, the stream is pulling the ship through on it's own, it's like being in a strong current sir.
OPS Burton says:
CNS: Makes for an easy flight then. ::Laughing::
XO Bodine says:
COM: Eastwood: Sir we have a ten minute trip expected yet getting a report on how it feels from my helmsman now ... Its like riding a wave sir Lt. jg. Rose reports little to no helm control.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: We are not out yet...
XO Bodine says:
Regnum: Cap ... Vic ... I don't know if that’s appropriate on the Bridge Captain. ::Weak smile::
Host Captain Regnum says:
XO: I'm not a member of your staff, you can call me anything you want, you know that.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Sir, sensors are showing a disturbance dead ahead.
XO Bodine says:
Regnum: In that case I think.. I call you.... / OPS: What?

XO Bodine says:
TO: Confirm reports?
OPS Burton says:
XO: It would appear to be fluctuations in the stream.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Time to probable impact Counselor? To/OPS/Regnum: Best guess what is it? 
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Confirmed. Disturbance dead ahead, impact in 1 minute.
Host Captain Regnum says:
XO: Don't ask me, I'm just working on the comm array.
XO Bodine says:
TO: Tactical analysis please Mr. Doole.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Attempt to evade and steer us around.
XO Bodine says:
TO: Red alert...
TO MJDoole says:
Captain: So...ummm..Vic...errr Captain...  Even though you're the rank of Captain, your not exactly part of the crew or Starfleet, so calling you Vic is ok with you. ::Looks uncomfortable with the question asked::
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Full power to the sheilds if you can Lieutenant.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Red Alert. Impact 30 seconds. Hang on to your butts!
CNS Rose says:
XO: Aye sir.::Tries to navigate around the disturbance::
TO MJDoole says:
::Getting tactical analysis::
Host Captain Regnum says:
TO: Lieutenant Commander Bodine, you shared my very existence for a year calling me Vic doesn't bother me, you should probably refer to me as Captain Regnum, I'll even settle for Mr. Regnum
CNS Rose says:
XO: I'm Unable to steer around it, sir; the stream is pulling straight toward it
Host Captain Regnum says:
ACTION: The IO Hits the disturbance and anyone who was standing lurches back and people who were sitting are pressed into their seats as the ship suddenly accelerates even faster, all consoles are no longer able to determine speed, distance traveled or ETA.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Sir I believe that full power to shields may cause severe side effects.
TO MJDoole says:
::Hangs on to the railing::
XO Bodine says:
::Groans::
CNS Rose says:
::Feels herself being pushed against her seat::
OPS Burton says:
XO: It appears we have no damage, but I have no idea how fast we are traveling, sir.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Lucky for you .... ::Gives him this look::
TO MJDoole says:
::Sounding like an early 20th century astronaut:: XO: Houston...We have a problem.
XO Bodine says:
TO: Report . ::Sees a break in the tunnel on screen:: I suppose that is the problem?
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Sensors are picking up something else. I think sensors may be wrong, because it looks like the other side of the conduit, and it's far too soon.
OPS Burton says:
Self: Is that possible, already?
XO Bodine says:
CNS: I know your getting sick of this but we still traveling on a level plain as far as you can tell not out of control? And ETA to that .. if you don't mind
Host Captain Regnum says:
ACTION: The IO Shoots out of the other ring and is heading straight towards the U.S.S. Tevan at warp 6, ETA to impact, 6 seconds
CNS Rose says:
::Attempts to steer the ship away from hitting the Tevan::
TO MJDoole says:
All: Ohhh smackdowns!
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Jesus Look out!!!
CNS Rose says:
XO: ETA is now sir
XO Bodine says:
CNS: No Kidding!!

TO MJDoole says:
:;Confused:: XO: Jesus? Is he driving? I thought Burton was.
OPS Burton says:
::Blows the airlock on the shuttle bay to try an avoid a collision::
Host Captain Regnum says:
ACTION: The IO veers to the Port at warp, but it is too close, it skims the side of the Tevan's shields causing massive damage and hull breaches on the starboard side, the Tevan's shields fail. Explosions take place all around the bridge.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Nice flying Counselor all stop.
XO Bodine says:
TO: Scan the Area.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Hail the Tevan.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Massive damage and Hull breaches on starboard side, decks 28 - 42. The Tevan's shields have failed 100%.
TO MJDoole says:
::Scans for further damage::
OPS Burton says:
::Opens a hailing frequency::
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Crew compliment on the Tevan??
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Beam them out?
Host Captain Regnum says:
<Captain Edgewood> COM: XO: I wasn't expecting you that fast Commander, our shields are down, and we have power surges throughout the ship, you look much worse, what happened?
OPS Burton says:
COM: Tevan: This is the IO, Status?
CNS Rose says:
::Wipes her forehead::
XO Bodine says:
TO: Relinquish your post to put out the fires if you please Mr. Doole.
XO Bodine says:
ALL: Anyone Hurt? All stations status report.

TO MJDoole says:
XO: Hull breaches are also on decks 12 to 27, also starboard side. ::Snaps fingers and another tactical officer takes tactical, leaves post to put out bridge fires::
XO Bodine says:
COM: Eastwood: We are not sure we believe we collided with an unknown object in the matter stream.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Prepare a class 2 Probe for the conduit please.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Damage reports coming in. No causalities. Emergency force fields are in place and repair teams are been dispatched.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Aye sir ::Prepares the probe::
XO Bodine says:
TO: Thank you Mr. Doole Much appreciated!
TO MJDoole says:
::Puts out one console fire after another::
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Very good rely our damage estimates to the Tevan and pull up the sensor logs from within the conduit for review.
XO Bodine says:
::Stands up and takes a look at the crew:: ALL: What do you all think that was?
Host Captain Regnum says:
<Captain Eastwood> COM: XO: My compliments to your pilot commander, I wouldn't have been able to steer clear of a collision at that range, and I think I'm a pretty good pilot.
CNS Rose says:
::Attempts to launch probe::
CNS Rose says:
XO: No Damage to helm sir.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Transmits the data to the Tevan::
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Sorry sir. Internal Sensors must have taken a jarring. Hull breaches are only decks 14, 15 and 16 on the Starboard side. Not 12- 27 and 28- 42 as I said a moment ago
XO Bodine says:
::Smiles:: COM: Eastwood: She is a real miracle worker sometimes.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Is the Probe ready?
XO Bodine says:
Regnum: Captain feel free to commence your test communications whenever you are ready and coordinate with Mr. Burton as needed.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Yes sir the probe is ready.
XO Bodine says:
::Sighs:: TO: Why is it we are always in these messes. Reallocate the repair crews at your discretion.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Bring us to the right baring and Shoot it off when you are ready.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: Yes, sir.
Host Captain Regnum says:
<Captain Eastwood> COM: XO: Well other then saying we need to make sure that the other side of the gate is clear, I'd say it works, don't you?
TO MJDoole says:
::Sends the orders to the repair crews to go to decks 14 - 16 on the starboard side::
TO MJDoole says:
XO: It's always something. ::Shakes head and gives an exasperated sigh::
XO Bodine says:
COM: Eastwood: Sorry Captain but we could have died had it not been for the quick actions of one of my crew. I’m not signing off on this until I get a solid answer in regards to what that was that was in the stream with us.
CNS Rose says:
XO: Yes sir. ::Steers the ship around to aim back to the conduit and prepares to launch the probe::
CNS Rose says:
XO: Sir ready for the activation code to be transmitted.
XO Bodine says:
OPS:: You're my second I'd welcome suggestions on how we might approach this scientifically?
TO MJDoole says:
::Goes to put the last of the fires out behind the XO:: XO: Close your eyes.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Go Ahead OPS: Please open a channel for her.
OPS Burton says:
XO: Yes sir. ::Contemplates for a moment::

XO Bodine says:
::Just simply moves out of the way::
TO MJDoole says:
::Sprays the fire suppression making him and the XO disappear in a big cloud of white::
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir.
TO MJDoole says:
::Simply waves his hand around and dissipates the cloud::
Host Captain Regnum says:
ACTION: The ring glows and the conduit opens again.
XO Bodine says:
TO: I think that will do thanks anymore and none of us will have oxygen to breath.. Thank you.
TO MJDoole says:
XO: That's the last of em.
CNS Rose says:
::Fires the probe::
XO Bodine says:
TO: Indeed you may retake your post.
Host Captain Regnum says:
ACTION: The probe enters the conduit.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Science 1 to Main Viewer.
Host Captain Regnum says:
XO: Monitoring readings from the Probe.
TO MJDoole says:
::Heads for post behind the XO and CO, waves a hand toward the Tactical Officer standing there, who returns to his previous post::
OPS Burton says:
CNS: There are no abnormal readings from the probes, correct?
XO Bodine says:
::Still standing in the middle of the command circle:: Regnum/CNS: Well??
CNS Rose says:
XO: Probe sensors see the disturbance; it appears to accelerate the stream, Sir.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Technical or Biological disturbance?
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Doctor maybe you should check the readings in detail

CNS Rose says:
XO: Neither its spatial sir.
XO Bodine says:
CNS: Why didn't we see it before?
OPS Burton says:
XO: Just quick speculation, but if the first probe went through all right. Wouldn’t it be safe to say the disturbance was caused by the IO sir? Either her size, extra power, something?
CNS Rose says:
XO: As far as I can tell, sir, it's a natural phenomenon.
Host Captain Regnum says:
XO: It would appear that the disturbance didn't affect the probe because the probe was so small; I do believe the disturbance was there though.
OPS Burton says:
::Begins to study the readings::
XO Bodine says:
OPS/CNS: I want a full report before we go back through. I will give you two an Hour.
XO Bodine says:
OPS: Mr. Burton: You have the Bridge. ::Heads to the ready room::
OPS Burton says:
XO: Aye sir.
CNS Rose says:
OPS: Captain Regnum is right sir the probe just passed by the disturbance but didn't accelerate.
