Host Nick says:
Three Federation starships, the U.S.S. Tazi, the U.S.S. Poat, and the U.S.S. Weati were recently involved with a skirmish with the same alien race that attacked the future Arcadian runabout.
Host Nick says:
They will be arriving at the station within the hour in need of repairs and assistance.

FCO_Lt_Maui says:
::at her station preparing to for the three arriving ships::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::At the Tactical in Station Operations keeping an eye on the sector scanning with all sensors, waiting on the arrival of the Federation ships::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::In her office working priority reports.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::has already placed repair teams on standby::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::contacted the dry dock master about 10 minutes ago informing him of the ships bound for Arcadia::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Will the yards be able to get all 3 ships in at the same time Mr. Chambers?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CTO: Yep, with the queue clear there are just enough free bays.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CTO*: Are we all set for our visitors?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Good news. Do we have any of our Engineers we can spare to help with the repair efforts? Having 3 ships off the line at once is a serious shortfall.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CTO: Yep, we can spare a few, their own engineers will need to help too though. Will make sure the rest of the ships crews can rotate to Arcadia so they can stretch their legs during repairs though.

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
*CO*: Aye Boss, Mr. Chambers has assured me all 3 ships will get a warm reception once they arrive. I'm in the process of scaring up some Engineers from the station to help with the repair efforts. I've also got my armory folks on standby to help with repairs to their shields and weapons. OPS also reminded me they are likely to need shore leave.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
FCO: When the ships hail the station I will patch them through to you to take over docking assignments and traffic control.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CTO*: Right I've been working on a suggested rotation, sending to your and Mr. Chambers stations we'll need to fine tune it for max efficiency but I think this will work.*::Sends files.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: I'm sure you already thought of it, but we have enough quarters to settle all the crews in open?
FCO_Lt_Maui says:
OPS: Thank you Sam I will be ready for them. 
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CTO*:Well done all, I'm just going to finishing some work and I'll be out soon. Let me know if they get here before then...
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
*CO*: As soon as they show up on sensors I'll let you know Boss.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::his console beeps and he accepting the message and reviews the assignments::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::reviews the CO's plans::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CTO*:Thank you. Harker out. ::She sighs and looks at the mountain of work then pulls the last PADD that needs to be done immediately.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Self: I always perfered station life.
Host Nick says:
INFO: Incoming Hail, U.S.S. Weati
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::accesses the communications interface:: COM: Weati: This is Arcadia we read you.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
ALL: Incoming hail from the Weati. Sending the standard response.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::waits to see if the Weati has any special instructions before passing her off to the FCO::
Host Nick says:
<XO_LtCmdr_Auren> @COM: Arcadia: This is Lieutenant Commander Auren of the U.S.S. Weati, we are approaching your system, we have heavy casualties, including Captain Maran, and we've sustained heavy damage, we are limping towards you at impulse power.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Hears the incoming COMM and makes a sour face:: *CO*: Boss, we are getting a hail from the Weati, sounds like they are in rough shape.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*CTO*:Be right there, warn medical. Harker out.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
COM: Weati: Understood, we will have Medical teams standing by as soon as you are within range we will transport those that can be transfered to our Infirmary. direct your further inquires to our FCO.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Stands and goes to the Ops Center.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Contacts Sickbay to prepare to recieve casualties::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods to the CTO when she arrives.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, request permission to take the Hathor out to perform escort and patrol duty?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Any reason to think they need it?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: How far out are they?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: With 3 ships damaged they'd make good targets, and if something goes wrong we'd be right there. Besides, with those 3 ships scragged the sector is short on defenses.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Is there anything on sensors?
Host Nick says:
SCENE: sensors show the three vessels limping into the system, the Weati's (Nebula) port nacelle is blown and venting warp plasma, the Poat's (Intrepid class) main deflector has been destroyed, and the Tazi (the largest of the 3, a galaxy class, is chillingly missing it's saucer section entirely)
Host Nick says:
INFO: They are being escorted by a pair of undamaged sabre class ships
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Given their current speed they are 15 maybe even 20 minutes out of range still.

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I have all 3, and they are seriously fragged, limping in on impulse. The Galaxy is missing the saucer section, the Intrepid lost the main deflector area, and the Nebula is missing her port nacelle.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Turns to look at the sensors.::OPS: On screen..::She says quietly.::

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: We'll hold off on that for now but best to keep in on stand by just in case.

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Right, I'll have the backup crew man the ship and have it ready for launch on order. ::sends the orders::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Sensors show they have a pair of Sabers escorting them in.
FCO_Lt_Maui says:
::conducts the three ships into each of their dry docks::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: excellent.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: As soon they are within transporter range try to get the worse injuries to sickbay.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Whoever this mob is they are packing some pretty serious firepower to put that kind of damage on ships of the line like that. ::shakes her head as she looks the damage over on sensors::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Of course
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: See if you can analyze the damage figure out what did this...::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I'll try to get copies of their sensor logs from the Tactical database.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods at CTO.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::contacts the ships for the data and telemetry::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Opening a Comm Link on the Main Screen
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::taps a few buttons::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: On target Lt?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::puts the ships on the main viewer::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Ships on main viewer zooming in.
FCO_Lt_Maui says:
CO:going as smoothly as can be expected sir.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: Is there anything more that's needed?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Glances at view screen with a mild sense of horror at the sight of the saucerless 3rd vessel.::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Tries not to pace and to give a sense of calm...::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: We might want to lend a few Runabouts to act as tugs Boss, to make sure they get into the docks safely. Their RCS might not be up to snuff.
FCO_Lt_Maui says:
CO: once i get them in position I'll have to tracker them into the dry docks but it can and will be done sir no worries we'll be patching them up in no time.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: I concur but simply on the grounds that those ship hulls are really messed up standard docking might not be sufficient any slight mistake could cause entire sections of some of these ships to explosively decompress.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: Well done.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: That's a point send out whatever shuttles or worker bees you need to help them in.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::quietly goes to internal communications and calls all transporter room teams to active duty;:
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Sends a full Security detail to each drydock to secure the ships and let the crews concentrate on helping themselves::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*Medical*:Are you all set to receive the injured?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
<MO Cutter> *CO*: All set Captain... on duty teams are waiting and we are calling up the off duty personnel now for triage and overflow.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
*MO*: Keep me posted. Harker out.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: What's their eta to docking?
FCO_Lt_Maui says:
CO: 2 minutes sir
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: Thank you.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: medical transports are proceeding well?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::checks in with his transporter chiefs::
FCO_Lt_Maui says:
::slowly Tractors the first ship into its dry dock::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
<Transporter Control> ::operators from all of the stations transporter room work in cooperation in attempt to streamline transport of injured personnel to waiting medical teams::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The first ship slowly moors into the drydock and connects it's umbilical
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: They have begin the process yes.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
<Medics> ::start triage of the injured and stabilizing the worst of the casualties::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods and tries to be still so her people can do their jobs.::

FCO_Lt_Maui says:
::helps get the third saucerless ship into dry dock as another pilot gets the second ship in its dry dock::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: The ships have reported docked and connected to our services. Some of the ships have casualties in the medical departments and being operated by EMH medical teams may need to go aboard the ships to see if any unstable enough for transport may need extra tending.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Has medical started sending over personnel yet?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Medical has all their on duty folks working Boss, they are waiting for the other shifts to send over Rescue teams.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
CO: Sorry I have not reached that report yet, I am sure they will soon though.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
<edit EMA = EMH>
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods to OPS and CTO, thoughtfully.::
