Previously on Arcadia: 

The station has been under attack from an invisible foe. Both Arcadia and the Cygnus have received significant damage, the weapons fire have been identified as being subspace weapons and it is possible that the attackers may exist in a parallel universe and may be unaware that Arcadia is even there

OPS Ens Chambers
::at his station::

XO Cmdr Harker
::Is still trying to contact them by varying the energy signature in small subspace increments from the Ops Center on Arcadia::

FCO Lt Ryushi
@::on the bridge of the Cygnus, trying to reestablish power to the propulsion systems... what's left of them::

XO Cmdr Harker
OPS:I'll work on communications, you handle station power and damage. We need our systems back...

XO Cmdr Harker
::Mutters a curse as she continues to strafe subspace with their automated message.::

OPS Ens Chambers
XO: Yes Sir

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Status Report

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: XO: Standby.

XO Cmdr Harker
::Sighs.:: OPS:Status?

XO Cmdr Harker
OPS:If we could narrow down the band they are using perhaps we can block it... ::Says Harker trying not to look like she's grasping at straws.::

XO Cmdr Harker
::Puts the comms project on auto repeat going through subspace at different intervals while she tries to analyze their subspace signature.::

OPS Ens Chambers
::moves to the science station and runs a spectral analysis scan on subspace bands to determine the exact frequency the disruptions are bleeding through on::

XO Cmdr Harker
::Mutters a curse as everything comes up blank.::

XO Cmdr Harker
OPS:To affect us its got to be this close..::she holds two fingers an inch apart.:: but it might as well be light years...

XO Cmdr Harker
OPS:It's some kind of battle, do we have anything that will affect it?

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Cygnus, you Alright?

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: XO: Things are in a state of advanced... disarray, Commander.  I am attempting to run basic damage control from the bridge.

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Right we're having trouble affecting or even finding the subspace band their on, some kind of battle seems to be going on. Any luck on your end?

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: XO: My original suggestion still stands, Commander.

OPS Ens Chambers
XO: Standard communication does not appear to be working. If we could find a way to send a message in another form though …

XO Cmdr Harker
::Glares intently at the console, an idea hovers on the edge of her brain...::

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:How safe is that? Will there be permanent damage?

OPS Ens Chambers
Self: Wonder if we pulsed the Cygnus warp engines like Morse code if that would have any effect. Let a charge up to warp then back down but faster.

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: XO: There will be significant damage to the fabric of subspace.  It will be basically repairable, though.

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Prep but not activate. We may have another option. Ops can you explain to FCO your thoughts and make it quick.

XO Cmdr Harker
::Nods supportingly.::

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: XO: Aye, Commander...

OPS Ens Chambers
*FCO*: Yes Sir up .. this might sound stupid but ...

FCO Lt Ryushi
@Computer: Computer, arm one tricobalt explosive, torpedo tube three.

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: OPS: Go ahead, Ensign?

OPS Ens Chambers
*FCO*: When a Warp field is being established it emits subspace distortion waves ... If we could control those waves in a pattern. We might be able to use the Ships core to get some attention.

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Any reason why that won't work?

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: Think... are we detecting those types of signatures from their dimension?  No. Why should they detect ours.  Especially if they are not looking for it?

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:We can try to make it obvious, regular patterns they may notice. It's worth a shot before we start ripping into subspace...

OPS Ens Chambers
*FCO*: Perhaps sir, but I believe if you yell loud and often enough someone is bound to find you.

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: If you ask me, we'd be wasting valuable time, Commander.  It remains, however, your decision.

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Lets try that idea first, is plan B ready?

FCO Lt Ryushi
@::checks the tactical readout on his conn console:: COM: Arcadia: XO: Yes, ma'am.

XO Cmdr Harker
OPS: They may not have Morse code, what about computer language or some such?

XO Cmdr Harker
*FCO*:Good, Ops will work with you on Plan A.

OPS Ens Chambers
::sends over his warp core control program to the Cygnus:: *FCO*: Sir I have developed a program to automate the process I have just transferred it over to your computers sir.

XO Cmdr Harker
::steps out of the conversation to monitor the results.::

OPS Ens Chambers
*FCO*: Oh and sir be advised to stay away from any major ODN conduits on the ship this process in simulation indicated some risk of power matrix overloads. Though only in 33 present of the 3 tests I ran

FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: OPS: I have it.  Implementing now...

ACTION: At first it seems to have no effect, but then it seems the explosions slow down a little

OPS Ens Chambers
::monitors the Cygnus on Station sensors to see if the Cygnus core begins to pulse::

XO Cmdr Harker
OP:Are you sending a message or just regular pulsing?

OPS Ens Chambers
XO: There seems to be some effect…. explosions seem less frequent

XO Cmdr Harker
::Hides her suprise well.::OPS:Excellent.

XO Cmdr Harker
OPS:Lets hope its not coincidence...

OPS Ens Chambers
XO: Well yes Ma'am I am using Morse code sir. Please hold your fire ... bit hard to do anything more complicated
