INFO: Three days have come and gone, and it seems the space junk mess that used to be the USS Tillman has been cleaned up rather efficiently. Yet another feather for the Corps of Engineers' cap...
...When the dust settled and the workbees finished the job, the abducted businessman Preston Evans suddenly reappeared in the station's infirmary, along with the twelve other civilians that also disappeared...
...Although the abductees were mostly unharmed, there was distinct evidence that their bodies at some point were completely stripped of their blood, and then had it reinserted. Any of those that had appendix organs were now missing those...
...When news of this reached Starfleet Command, they sent out a representative to begin what was likely going to be a long, and puzzling investigation.

CEO Lt Spanner
:: sitting in her office, going over reports on work that has been and still needs to be done ::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::In the Tactical area of OPS, going over the sensor data and records of the attacks with her best Tactical officers and techs::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Heading to OPS from her quarters.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sits in Operations, nursing a PADD::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
Self: And I still need to work on that darned holo enhancer.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Arrives.::CTO: How goes the investigation?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: There's a lot of telemetry to go over. There's not a lot to go on, that ship was only found because it went across the event horizon of the supergate.
 
ACTION: Starbase 343 messages Ops comm to confirm the incoming arrival of the USS Maharaja that is ferrying Admiral Tivec for a surprise inspection.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::walks into Operations and over to Jonathan:: XO: Any more news of our people? ::looks as if she very much hopes they magically appear back::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::stands up while reading his monitor:: CO: Captain...I was just about to call you.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: signs off on the reports and picks up the 2 padds and heads to operations ::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO:What I'm curious about is how they got our people and why?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: Yes, I knew that. ::looks extremely serious, then smiles:: Actually, I didn't. What is happening?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: From the reports from sickbay, I can answer that, they wanted lab rats. As to how... you got me.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::smiles back:: CO: Didn't I talk to you about reading my mind, sir? ::grins:: Anyway, while you were off briefing the admirals, all 13 abductees were returned.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Remember that report from the Enterprise awhile back? They kept losing people and getting them back without memories and odd medical concerns..
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: Tactical is asking them questions, but they can't tell us much. They are still in the Infirmary.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CTO: Anything from the idiot in the brig?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: That was quite a while ago... and I'm not sure it's the same, but we can look into that. I'm pretty sure it was related to the Tillman and such tho, not those others.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: enters operations and looks around ::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::hands her a padd:: CO: I'm hoping Mr. Evans will be up and running soon to tell us something.
 
ACTION: The unmanned comm console in Ops bleeps aloud again, as if demanding attention like a spoiled brat.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
All: Will someone get that? ::looks around::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: looks over at the console, shrugs and goes to "answer the phone" ::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: No, and I don't suppose you'd like to get that? ::points at the annoying comm::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::sighs:: CTO: Just call me operator ::grins and heads over to the console.::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
COM: SB 343: This is Arcadia Station, what can we do for you?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::relaxes and feels like sitting down from the relief:: XO: I can't imagine how disoriented they are... ::walks over to see the information from the infirmary, looks back at Rome:: I didn't sense that Evans was lying when he said that he didn't know what was happening.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Shrugs at the CEO as they both arrive.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: No, he was too scared to lie. But he might know something now, something about the abductors?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: shrugs and points to the thing and mouths at the CIV....You want to take this? ::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Shrugs then nods.::CEO:You're a bit more vital then I am just now anyway..
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::whispers back.::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::then reopens the com::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::looks over at Karri and Paige:: All: So?
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
XO: Waiting for a response.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: smiles and bows :: CIV: At your service as always. :: looks for the CO and XO ::
 
<SB 343 Control> COM: Arcadia: This is Starbase Control checking to confirm readings of USS Maharaja on your long range sensors. It is Admiral Tivec's ship, and he requested we not inform you of his arrival until the last possible minute.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: walks over to them both and hands the padds to the XO ::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::looks at the Captain as the message comes in:: CO: Did you know about this?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: I do hope so. ::signs off on the information and walks back over to Jonathan:: It's so disorienting to have your past visit you. ::runs a hand through her hair:: Or at least it seems like that's a possibility. I think my husband, Quon, would be a good person to include in the discussion with Evans and the others.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Grins at the CEO::COM: Wait one.::Confirms readings::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods sympathetically::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::hears the comm:: XO: Oh, so another bit of secrecy from an admiral, lovely.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: They seem to run on the stuff sir.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
Self : What the bloody hell is it with people in this Fleet, they all like to appear at no notice like magicians....
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
XO: I most certainly did not know anything about that. It is getting most tiresome to be sure.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
COM: SB-343: Confirmed Starbase Control. Thanks for the heads up.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::looks at XO and shrugs.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::takes the PADD from Karri and smiles:: CEO: Thank you.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CIV: Paige, you would make a very good diplomat, I hope you know. ::smiles and shakes her head::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::glances at the PADD....work orders::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Makes slight face at the CO::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
XO: Do we need to make any special arrangements for His Royal Highness' visit, Boss?
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::looks at the CTO, then at the CO:: CO: Your orders?
 
ACTION: USS Majaraja signals approach and requests docking clearance.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::closes com::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::laughs softly at Harker's expression:: XO: First give permission to dock.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: moves behind the CO and XO so that they can't see her but the CTO and CIV can and rolls her eyes and sticks out her tongue at the thought of another stupid admiral ::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::stifles laugh at the CEO's antics.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::walks towards the conn:: CEO: I saw that.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Gives the CEO the thumbs-up in agreement::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
XO: I saw nothing...
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CIV: Commander, would you escort our surprise admiral up here please? And express just how pleased we are that he is visiting us.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::smiles, feeling more relaxed now then in the days passed..knowing the crew is smiling again::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
XO: I have no idea what you are talking about Sir. :: smiles and winks ::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Dispatches a Security team to the docking bay to meet the incoming ship, as normal::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CO: Thank you ma'am it would be a great honor.::thinks to self, "not!"
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::turns to look at Spanner:: CEO: My sentiments exactly, you can be sure.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::punches in the docking permission::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::heads to meet the admiral::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CIV: You have backup on the way to the docking bay, just in case you can't restrain yourself. ::winks::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: smiles :: CO: Sorry Maam, I couldn't help myself.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CO: They are coming in for approach.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Grins at the CTO as she steps into the TL::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CEO: Indulgence granted. ::winks at Spanner then turns back to Rome::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: chuckles ::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: at the engineering console in operations ::
 
ACTION: An Intrepid Class starship drops out of warp at the edge of the system and docks with the station 10 minutes later. The admiral then beams aboard directly on the small transporter pad in Ops...
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::turns to his right and straightens his back::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Getting a message turns the TL around and heads back to ops., thinks to self,. "I hate flag officers...:"
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Rests her hand on her type-2 out of habit as she hears the transporter and watches the Admiral appear::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: still at the engineering console, looks up, shakes her head :: All: Admiral on the deck.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::steps onto ops::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Tivec: Admiral. ::salutes::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Stays in the background with the CTO::
 
RAdm Tivec:
::a very tall, yet entirely bald Vulcan rear admiral materializes, his hands resting together casually behind him::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::sees the admiral appear on the transporter pad and slaps her comm:: *CIV*: Belay the meeting. He's here. ::walks over to the admiral and extends her hand:: Admiral: Sir, welcome to our station. This is really, really a surprise. What brings you here?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: comes to attention and salutes ::
 
RAdm Tivec:
CO: Forgive my sudden appearance, commander. I find this idea of surprise inspections highly irrational. May I speak to you and your staff in private? It is of significant importance.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::gives Karri a small shake of his head whilst grinning::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Gives the CTO a "here we go again look" before facing front.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Yawns and shrugs::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
CTO: Signal relieves to take over Ops.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::nods to Tivec: Admiral: Yes, Sir, I think that would be excellent. Please, let's go to our observation room. XO: Commander, could you do as the Admiral has asked and call everyone to the observation room, please?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
XO: Aye Sir. ::Sends comms to the relief personnel to take up stations::
 
<Tac_Duffy> ::Takes over Tactical::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sees everyone is here already:: All: Alright people, everyone to the Observation lounge.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: speaks out of the side of her mouth :: CTO: Does that mean as we were?
 
RAdm Tivec:
::enters the observation lounge directly without guidance, having had a hand in Arcadia's internal refit designs::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::follows after the Captain::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Whispers:: CEO: Apparently that's the Vulcan version, or else we better have REALLY long legs. ::winks::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::leans in whispering:: CO: What now?
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Follows the CIV::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Heads for the ops lounge with the CTO and others.::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: smirks and does an "about face" and marches to the observation lounge ::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Admiral: You will have to excuse us. We have become wearied of surprises of late. ::says as she walks beside the tall official:: Please take the head. XO: I have no idea. We need to hear this out and then decide.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods and comes to attention::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Walks into the Observation Lounge and takes up her usual position just inside the doors, "Holding up the bulkhead"::
 
RAdm Tivec:
CO: No doubt, commander. Is Commodore Yost still in your custody?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:; goes and sits beside the XO before the FCO can ::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Gives a nod to the CTO and takes a seat, pulling a small padd from a bdu pant pocket.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Admiral:: He most certainly is. I presume you have read the report of his attack?
 
RAdm Tivec:
::enters the lounge with the others, but does not take a seat, but stands before the large presentation monitor:: CO: I have. A most unfortunate act of unsanctioned internal espionage. I will strip him of rank and have him remanded into Starfleet Security's custody later today pending your authorization.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Admiral: I am very glad to hear that. ::nods to Tivec, then turns to the rest of her people:: All: Attention everyone. The Admiral has arrived for a reason and probably is short on time. Admiral: Sir, please... ::takes a seat::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Keeps an eye on the "Admiral", leaning against the bulkhead, hand casually resting on her type-2, eyes and face emotionless, listening and waiting::
 
RAdm Tivec:
::addresses the group:: ALL: I am Admiral Tivec, Deputy Director of Starfleet Logistics and Facilities in this sector. I have come today to press formal charges against Commodore Yost, and take his place in his stead.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::listens closely::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
Mumbles to self: Bloody hell, here we go again...
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: thinks "just great" :
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::shifts in her seat as Tivec speaks, finding him a little more difficult to 'read' but had expected that from a Vulcan, crosses her legs::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Thinks to self, "great another unknown." but keeps her face impassive.::
 
RAdm Tivec:
ALL: Starfleet has great expectations for this station, and it will be my duty to work with everyone here to ensure its path to full operational status. This includes matters of security. ::looks at the CTO:: CTO: Lieutenant...Murphy, correct?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: note to self - ask Murphy to just shoot the next one who comes on board ::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Nods:: ADM: Aye Sir, Brianna Murphy, Chief of Security.
 
RAdm Tivec:
CTO: Do not be alarmed as to what I am about to show you all in this room. ALL: I remind you that what you are about to see shall not be spoken of beyond this room.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sits up a little taller in his seat::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Looks at the Admiral he has her full attention.::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Self: Of course not...
 
RAdm Tivec:
COM: Maharaja: You may transport the capsule when ready.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Takes up a defensive stance, hand gripping her type-2 tighter::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::stands up suddenly remembering what Yost pulled:: Admiral:: Sir, I don't think this is a good idea...
 
ACTION: A large canister lined with interlocking transparent blue orbs materializes on the conference table.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Gets out a tricorder and scans for hazardous substances or explosives::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: backs away from the table ::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::stops himself from raising his voice at the Admiral::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Stands up and backs away pulling out a tricorder other hand hovering over her phaser pistol::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::blinks and takes a closer look:: Admiral: Pardon me, but the last time an admiral gave us a surprise it turned out tragically. What is this?
 
RAdm Tivec:
CO: It is perfectly safe, commander. ALL: What you see here is the result of the 13 Federation citizens that were abducted 3 days ago. This contains exact, isolated duplications of their individual genetic structures.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::shakes his head slightly::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
ADM: And how, exactly Sir, did ye come by these?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Admiral: But how did you get this?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
CIV: What readings are you getting?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: narrows her eyes::
 
RAdm Tivec:
CO: We obtained it most illogically...five years ago. It is an artifact of an advanced alien race we believe comes from the Andromeda Galaxy.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Does complete scans of the object and files the data in the memory as well as sending a backup copy to the Security office::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::mouths the word 'Andromeda..'::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::feels like sitting again:: Admiral: Time travel. Do you know why they did this? And if it is likely they will do it again?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: mouths the word bullsh.... ::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CO: Its a duranium Composite..
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CO: And there's an alloy I can't ID...
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Puts tricorder away again and resumes her alert and watchful stance, hand still resting on her type-2::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CEO: You might want to look into this...
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::nods at Paige:: CIV: Not surprising if they can jump times.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
CIV: I've got a reading of it. I just don't want to get any closer to it.
 
RAdm Tivec:
CO: It is unknown at this time. I might also add that it emerged from the Neutral Zone near our outpost at Starbase 23. We originally assumed it was some kind of bio-organic weapon the Romulans devised, but rudimentary studies have proven that assumption false.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Tivec: This is all very interesting...but what is the meaning of this device?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
Admiral: I see. And what do you plan to do with it?
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::looks at Jonathan and just shakes her head, worried about all of this and having no way to stop it::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: looks at the readings of it thing and wonders if she could duplicate the material ::
 
RAdm Tivec:
XO: That is what we are hoping this crew can one day answer, commander. CO: I am placing this canister under study by this station's scientists for indefinite research purposes.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
Tivec: Admiral...last time we heard that, people died.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
ADM: Mostly MY people.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: thinks "I can put it in an incinerator, better yet, a torpedo casing and send it into a star....no more little capsule" ::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::bites her lip because she does feel quite intrigued with the scientific mystery:: Admiral: We will do our best then. It will however stay under the highest security.
 
RAdm Tivec:
XO: I assure you, these DNA samples bear no resemblance to the cryogens formerly under your care. It is more of a puzzle, I believe would be the more proper classification.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods:: Tivec: That's good enough for me.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::puts the tricorder away, looking at the device curiously.::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
CO: Recommend we beam it directly to the biocontainment lab, Commander, I'll get a team down there to watch it and put it under a quarantine field.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
CO: I concur Ma'am this needs top arrangements.

CO Cmdr Jakiel
Admiral: Hasn't it all been. ::says rhetorically:: All: Well, we are a scientific station. CTO: See this to medical lab number two, please. Keep security high and we will make a list of those personnel given access to it. 

RAdm Tivec:
::nods graciously to Tessa:: CO: Very good. Now, may I speak with you alone for a moment? The rest of you are dismissed. The Maharaja security staff will assist in the transfer of the capsule.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods as he places his palms on the table and stands up:: Tivec: Thank you Admiral.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
Self: I just want it kept away from engineering. Like inside a black hole.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: nods, stands and salutes ::
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::looks curiously at the Vulcan:: Admiral: Yes, Sir. All: Dismissed everyone. XO: See that the station is running smoothly and this package is taken care of.
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Nods:: CO: Aye Commander. *Tac_Charlie* Charlie team to med lab two, on the double. ::Picks up the gizmo and takes it to the TL::
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:; turns on her heel and leaves the room ::
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Comes briefly to attention. Salutes them and leaves.::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::salutes, then turns around and leaves::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
TL: Med lab two.
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::enters Operations and heads for the seat:: CTO: Keep me updated.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
:: walks behind the XO ::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
XO: Aye Sir. TL: Resume.
 
CEO Lt Spanner
XO: And now we are saddled with another idiot?
 
CEO Lt Spanner
XO: Yost was bad enough.
 
CIV Cmdr Harker
::Goes to the operations station assisting tactical in the arrangements, they do not need another alien thing loose on the station....::
 
RAdm Tivec:
::waits for everyone to leave, then sits down, and begins to fill the CO in on news from Starfleet Command::
 
XO Cmdr Rome
::sits down:: CEO: I'm actually going to act like I didn't hear that, let's just see what happens. ::smiles, but not genuinely::
 
CTO LtJG Murphy
::Gets off the TL and puts the device in med lab two in a medical quarantine field and posts her Security guards:: *XO*: Guards posted, project is secured.
 
CO Cmdr Jakiel
::takes a seat and listens carefully, notating some things on a padd::
