Last time on Arcadia: With Arcadia Station under siege by three alien ships, the USS Quirinus arrived to help in the battle. The Quirinus was successful in fighting off the attackers, but unfortunately the alien anti-tachyon weapon hit a tachyon charged communications array. A temporal vortex was created that sucked the Station, the Hathor, and the Quirinus back in time into the middle of the Dominion war.

The Cardassians who had been rescued from the now destroyed Cardassian warship have took advantage of the situation by overwhelming the skeleton crew aboard the Hathor and commandeered it. The Hathor is now on an intercept course with a fleet of Jem'Hadar warships. A second group of Cardassians who were beamed board the station by the runabouts attempted to take control of Arcadia, but have thus far been unsuccessful.  The Quirinus is pursuing the Hathor and is about to overtake the commandeered ship.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Splits his time between the weapons systems and security measures, Nishi helping him ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
@ :: Coordinating repairs of the station, the landing and rearming of the runabouts, and monitoring the attempted station take over. While Science figures out how to get the station back. ::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Captain, the prefix code of the Hathor is 877253.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:: in main engineering, trying to keep the ship together ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: How close do we need to be to take control?
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Within ten thousand kilometers.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<TO_Lt_Nishi> :: From the secondary console behind the primary Bridge position, the Bajoran ran the simulations ::  CTO: Nothing like preparing to fire on a ship design of your state.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: ETA?
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Five minutes.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
TO: Shush.  Just concentrate on those shield weaknesses.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: In medical, helping with preparations ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight:  As soon as you are able, take control and then lock them out.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Understood.  :: turns to his console and sets up the necessary routines ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Tosses a stun grenade around the corner and then leads the team into the compartment to clean up whatever is left ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: Leans against a tall storage unit, next to the guards. Then with some others at a secret signal pushes the crates, that are above the guards heads, on the guards ::
Host Cardassian_Guard_1 says:
$ :: Sees his comrade fall under the crates and starts firing at the Hathor crew ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: Hayward to Sulek. Just wanted to let you know that the ships systems are all green.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: As soon as Kraight has the Hathor out of warp and any shields down, take out her weapons.  If all goes well, Kraight will scan and transport the crew.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Two minutes to intercept.
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: With others charges the last guard to take him down, dodging the beams. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: Stand by for lock on at the XO's mark.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Glances at the back panel ::  CO: Firing pattern ready.  Minimal extraneous damage, fuse the weapons ports.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Understood.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Thirty seconds. Initiating transmission of prefix code on auto-repeat.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Once we have the crew, try to lock on to the Cardassians and beam them to secure area in the bay.

ACTION: The Quirinus comes within weapons range of the Hathor

XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
All: We are within visual range.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Now.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: as the signal is given, he orders the computer to carry out the firing pattern Nishi programmed in - computerized sensors locating and locking onto the weapons ports, and phasers firing, modulating the power faster than a humanoid's mind could ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: Gets to the guards weapon whose knocked out. Picks it up and fires at another guard. ::
Host Cardassian_Guard_1 says:
$ :: is downed by the phaser fire ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Do we have control of Hathor's systems?
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<SEC_Ens_Rast> :: Checks the security upgrades on the bay and nods to Gren ::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
All: The Hathor's main computer has rejected the prefix code. That Cardassians must have changed it.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Hathor's shield status?
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Her shields are still up. I cannot lock onto any lifeforms aboard.
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: Arms two phaser trained officers and has them watch the door. Sends senior engineer to the cargo bay wall computer console to see if they flood the ship with knock out and/or regain systems control. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Hayward*: Shield modulation on line.  Helm: Evasives.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Ceases firing on the ship, the computer not able to predict the shields holding ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*Sulek*: We're in good shape. Shields are at maximum modulation.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Coordinates and directs the other Tactical and Security teams as they continue to secure the station and collect the captured Cardassians, putting them into Cargo Bay 10 once they are captured ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Target the shield generators again, full power.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO, CTO: Hathor's shields appear to be significantly weakened.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Understood.  :: Puts the phasers to full power and begins to barrage the other Starfleet vessel ::

ACTION: Back on Arcadia, a small group of Cardassians manage to break into the office of Admiral Regnum and work to gain control of the Subspace Relay

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: What if we detonate a photon torpedo near the weakest point on the shields?
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<TO_Lt_Nishi> CO: Such an explosion is rarely controlled in an appropriate manner, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: Understood.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<TO_Lt_Nishi> :: Looks at Powers and asks quietly ::  TO: Does that "understood" mean to "load one anyway"?
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
@*CTO*: Harker to CTO - There are reports of Cardies in Admiral Regnum's office.

ACTION: The Hathor is knocked out of warp by the phaser fire

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@*CO*: Understood, I'll head there with the SRU and mop up the Spoonheads directly.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:: monitors the situation from engineering ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
@*CTO*: Acknowledge, at the flank if you please. I don't like them fiddling about up there. Harker out.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Double times it with the SRU to the nearest turbolift and takes it to the area of the subspace relay unit ::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: I have set up a repeating scan of the Hathor. As soon as her shields are down, the computer will initiate an automatic beamout of all detected crew.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: We need to destabilize the Hathor's engines... I would just as soon keep them as far from the Jem'Hadar as possible.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO/XO: Anything we can fire from the deflector dish?
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: Nearly falls to the deck as the ship shudders violently. ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*Sulek*: Captain, I am monitoring from engineering. I may be able to modify the deflector to be used as a polaron weapon.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Commander Hayward's plan has merit. A concentrated polaron beam would severely drain the Hathor's shields. Taking out her warp drive would be a simple matter thereafter.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Hayward*: Make the modifications.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*Sulek*: Aye, Captain.
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:: begins calibration of the deflector to emit a polaron beam without disabling it's critical functions ::

ACTION: The Hathor's shields are lowered to 19%

CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
*Sulek*: Captain, we're ready to go with the polaron weapon. Trouble is, we'll only be able to get off a few shots before I'll need to reconfigure it again. I have a team standing by to implement changes as needed.  :: serious ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Hayward*: Fire.
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: Continues to try to gain access to enough of ship systems to figure out what is happening on the ship and external sensors, computer has locked them out. ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:: fires the polaron beam :: *Sulek*: Firing now.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Assembles her team outside the Subspace relay section and Regnum's office, and prepares for a dynamic entry sequence ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: Is wanting to storm engineering with 20 people. She tries to come up with other plans. as the engineers work to hack in. ::

ACTION: The Hathor fires torpedoes at the Quirinus

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Grabs hold of a console as torpedoes explode in space ::  All: Looks like they figured out how to load the tubes.

ACTION: The Cardassians discover the break out and send armed soldiers to Maui's position. Suddenly the area is full of phaser fire.

XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
All: Hathor's shields are down to twelve percent.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Sets breaching charges in place to blow the hatches and assigns the team to multiple entry points ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$ :: <Maui> :: they return fire from behind a barricade as everyone else dives for cover. Maui looks around, trying to find something in storage she can use as two engineerings hide behind the console, still trying to wreak havoc on systems or do anything. ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:: fires again ::

ACTION: The Cardassians in Regnum's office are frustrated to discover that there is no power going to the communications array

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Pinpoint your fire at the Hathor's shields.

ACTION: The shields of the Hathor fail, but the vessel continues firing on the Quirinus

Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
$<Maui> :: grinning she pulls the lid off of some boxes that are extra phaser rifles that had not gotten processed yet. She quickly passes them out and they return fire, and if possible break out to head to engineering. ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Resumes their previous firing program to selectively seal the weapons ports ::  FCO: Helm, keep us moving so we stop taking so many hits.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Arms the breaching charges and prepares stun grenades, making sure all the entry teams are ready, then gives the "GO" code ::
CEO_Cmdr_Hayward says:
:: orders his team to reconfigure the deflector dish again, in anticipation of another round of attacks ::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Automatic beamout has been initiated.

ACTION: Maui and most of the rest of the Hathor crew are beamed away

Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui> :: looks around and orders a cease fire as the find themselves on a different Federation ship ::
Host Cardassian_Guard_1 says:
@ :: Fires at the door attempting to take out Murphy's team ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Since we cannot get control of her systems, target the nacelles and bring her to a halt.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: That Hathor crew has been beamed aboard. Medical reports only minor injuries.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Get all the Cardassians you can.  How far out are the Jem'Hadar?

INFO: The Jem'Hadar are 15 minutes away at their current speed

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@ :: Fires the breaching charges, tossing the hatch into the compartment, then tosses in a stun grenade for good measure, and leads the team in after it goes off, phaser rifles shooting anything that moves set for heavy stun ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Worried about the backlash potential, tries to tune down the phasers to low enough power to prevent destroying the entire damn ship and fires ::  CO: Commencing now.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Initiating transport.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Security to cover the Cardassians being brought aboard.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<SEC_PO_Min> :: Reaches out to the non-Cardassian personnel ::  Maui: This way, please.  Quickly.  :: Handing rescued persons off to medical and counseling personnel ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Standing by, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: How long to clear the ship?
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui> :: Follows the security man with her people, trying to get a status on the Hathor. ::
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Another five minutes, I think. The first group of Cardassians have materialized in Cargo Bay Three, which has of course been sealed.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks up as the newcomers arrive and directs them to various waiting medical staff. ::
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<SEC_Ens_Gren> :: Below decks outside bay three, he hears loud banging and muffled curses as the Cardassians try to feel out their confines ::  Rast: Ought to just gas the whole lot of them.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Target all vital areas of the ship with photon torpedoes.  Cascade destruction.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<SEC_Ens_Rast> Gren: Might be best.
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui>CNS: Excuse me, what's the status of the Hathor? Do you know what's going on? We've been out of the loop...
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: All Cardassians detected aboard Hathor have been beamed to the cargo bay.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Targets three torpedoes to fire directly into the warp core, intending to destabilize the reactor ::  CO: Weapons locked.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<SEC_Ens_Gren> *CTO*: Commander?  Permission to utilize the anesthezine?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Fire.  Turn the Hathor into complete unusable space junk.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks at the woman with a sympathetic smile :: Maui:  Medical has not been informed of any precise information.  If you do not require medical assistance, I can contact someone to fill you in.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Lets loose the barrage, choosing not to watch, and instead taps his commbadge ::  *Gren*: Do what you need to.
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui> :: The tall Caitian nods. :: CNS: My people are OK for the most part. If you could direct me to someone, that'd be best.
CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
<SEC_Ens_Rast> :: Gets the nod from Gren and inputs the command to the computer.  It takes a few moments, but slowly the banging becomes softer and less pronounced until it fades away completely ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Prepare return course to Arcadia, maximum warp.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Maui:  I am Counselor Azhure.  You are?  :: directs her over to one of the comm units. ::

ACTION: The Hathor is blown to bits

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Scans.  Make sure there is nothing the Jem'Hadar can use for Dominion advantage.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: checks sensors :: CO: I am detecting no debris larger than one meter. A shame... from all accounts, she was a fine ship.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Engage.
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui>CNS: Commander Teyla Maui, FCO Arcadia. Thank you.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Maui: Welcome aboard.  :: Contacts the bridge for a general update. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: rises :: Kraight: I need to inform the commander of the Hathor.  You have the conn.
XO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Listens as OPS reports ::  Maui:  I regret your ship has been destroyed.  We are currently on our way back to Arcadia Station.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: moves to TL and enters :: Medical.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: arrives deck ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui>CNS: Destroyed? Did everyone get off? :: She had done a quick head count everyone looked here, she glanced around again to double check. ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Maui:  I believe so.  The captain should be arriving soon to fill you in on the details.  I regret the loss of your ship.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: moves down the hall to the room where the Hathor crew has been placed and enters ::
Host SC_Cpt_Harker says:
<Maui> :: Smiles relieved. :: CNS: Thank you. It's not the first unfortunately.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks up at Sulek, catching his attention. ::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
:: he moves to Maui :: Maui:  I am Sulek.  You no doubt have some questions....
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
