TIME LAPSE SINCE LAST MISSION: One Day

Episode #628: "A Beam of Light" Part 1: Coming up Next on Arcadia: The return of Lieutenant Peterson of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers.  The last time he was here, Arcadia's LCARS systems were upgraded and nothing frightening happened. This time, he is doing an experiment in long distance transporter technology.  He's on his way aboard the U.S.S. New Hampshire.  Starfleet has ordered Captain Bodine to prepare a transporter room and engineering staff for his arrival where he will do some experiments on test cylinders.  The new technology has not been approved for bio transport yet. The New Hampshire will be arriving in 24 hours, and there is a lot to do.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
Captain’s Log, Stardate 11306.03. Lieutenant Anthony Peterson of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers will be arriving aboard Arcadia tomorrow to begin installation of the experimental transporter pad. We need to select a suitable location. Safety is my primary concern that is why Lieutenant Takor Arcadia Station’s Chief Engineer, Lt. Lorin from Operations and of course Security will have the designated test area locked down. From what I understand Peterson has been on Arcadia before and is already familiar with our procedures.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::In her office in Engineering putting out a call to Lt. Peterson on the New Hampshire to get his preliminary information so she can review and make sure all will be ready.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::enters the Operations Center::
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin (Mike Johnson): 
CO: Captain which Transporter room would you like to use for Peterson's experiments?
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::Just getting off her shift at The Fez:: 
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::thinks it over:: OPS: Let's use Transporter Room Three. Make sure your chief there is aware to shut down operations there.
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
:: tinkering with the Captain's runabout, making it better than she currently is::
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin (Mike Johnson): 
CO: Very good Captain would you like me to contact Engineering?
::Calls subspace and makes sure she's got all the information as she does, thanks Lt. Peterson and closes the channel. Reviewing the materials in her office and making the proper plans.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
OPS: No I will take care of it. You have the Conn. ::exits Operations through the Turbolift::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Blinks::Self: on subspace? ::looks at the formulas::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::decides to take a walk around the station before heading to her quarters.:: 
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Computer: Locate chief engineer Takor.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
Self: They want to jump people through subspace? Is that even safe? ::complete attention on the formulas as she reviews very interested.::
Computer:
Lt. Junior Grade Takor is in Engineering
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::he ordered the Turbolift to Engineering::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
Self: I wonder how they've off set the standard compression error algorithms.... 
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::strolls around the promenade before heading to the Turbo Lift::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::taps on a PADD and begins to run basic simulations, lost to the outside world::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::taps his Commbadge:: *FCO*: Captain to Ensign Doole, what you you up to right now?
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
::talking to the runabout, kinda out loud to himself,  as he often does when working on equipment, not that I ever answers him:: Runabout/Self: Oh yea, when I get done with you, you're going be the fastest runabout in the sector. Gonna give you polarized dual heavy cannons....
::Taps Commbadge in response::*CO*: working on your runabout. Why?
*CO*: Did you need me for something, sir?
Captain John E. Bodine: 
*FCO*: Really? Okay well, while I would love to know how that is going I wanted you remind you of Peterson's arrival tomorrow. You will make sure he gets priority docking clearance correct?
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
*CO*: It is going to be a beaut when I am done with her. Course I'll have to make several test flights as I make adjustments. As far as Peterson is concerned, I've made docking bay 97 off limits unit his arrival
*CO*: So that will be free and clear for him to land and dock there.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Wonders if Peterson would let her add more sensors to the cylinders to track changes during transport....:: 
::Preparations are made to prepare for the experiments::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::waits as the Turbo lift opens its doors and then walks in staring at her nails thinking about getting a manicure::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::glances at the person who got in his lift:: CIV: Hello there.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::focuses on the formulas governing the data compression::
Captain John E. Bodine:
::notices the lift has stopped moving as it awaits for the new occupants destination:: CIV: Where are you headed Miss?
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::looks up almost walking into the man in the Turbo lift:: Self: Woo CO: sorry I so wasn’t paying attention. :: steps to the side of the man::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Continues to examine the materials provided running simulations as preparations continue.::
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
*CO* Was there anything else besides the Peterson issue you needed?
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::steps to one side giving the woman plenty of room:: CIV: It is quite alright.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
CO: I'm not really sure was just going to take a stroll around. do you have any suggestions. ::she looks at the man’s face:: CO: have we met before?
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::leans back as the simulations come back correct, vaguely surprised. Makes a note to run these by her senior people to see if they can poke any holes in it.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
*FCO*: Yes, when you get a chance go to Operations and relieve Lt. JG Lorin of the Conn I am sure she is quite capable but as she is not a senior officer and until I return I prefer a senior officer were in charge up in Ops.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::sends the required orders to her people about reviewing the changes, and making sure everyone is aware of the required safety precautions in her department.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::studies the woman’s face:: CIV: I do not believe we have and you have me at somewhat of a disadvantage I must admit as you seem to know who I am. As for where to go there are several locations, such as the Arboretum. I used to take my shoes off in there and walk in the grass. Not many people know about that.
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
*CO*: On my way. Runabout: Sorry girl. Captain needs me up in OPS. I'll be back to work on you some more when I get a moment. :: Head Runabout Tech: Make sure no one touches my tools or ::points at the Captains runabout:: her. I am working on her so she'll be something B-E-A-UTIFUL for the Captain and I don't want anyone frakking it up.
Head Runabout Tech (Bruce Oriani):
As you order. ::watches FCO leave::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::fascinated looks at the formulas again:: 
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
::gets on the nearest turbolift:: TL: OPS
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
CO: ah I remember you now we met at The Fez a few days ago 
::she laughs to herself remember how rude she was:: CO: sorry I wasn't really feeling myself when we met I was a little rude 
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Finally pulls herself away, rubbing her sore arm. Wishing she'd not let her friend Nyria convince her a tattoo was good idea. And it seemed like one somewhere between the 2-4th Real Deal Engineers moonshine.::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
CO: My name is Nyira you confused me with an ununiformed officer.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Thank the Prophets that it was not someone nude, She remembered vaguely there was a discussion on that...::
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
::arrives in OPS::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CIV: No trouble at all Nyira, is that a first name?
Computer: Resume my original destination.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::smiles:: CO: yes Nyira Santiago 
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin (Mike Johnson): 
FCO: Hello Ensign.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Picking up a PADD she had some vague idea of visually inspecting the area of where the experiments are to take place. Then remembers she's supposed to work on the shuttles, she asks where the FCO is via computer and changes direction heading for the turbolift::
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
OPS_Lorin: CO sent me up to relieve you
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::thinks that name sounds vaguely familiar somehow like he read it somewhere recently:: CIV: And you are not an Officer Miss Santiago?
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 CO: no sir I’m not just a bartender slash belly dancer at The Fez. If you ever stop by when I’m working I’ll take good care of you. ::she winks grinning sweetly::
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin (Mike Johnson): 
::frowns for a moment:: FCO: Yes, sir well not much going on up here right now. But very well.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Looks at the Captain and Nyira as the TL doors open. She nods to Nyira and greets the Captain::CO: Sir. ::Ignores the throbbing pain in her right upper arm.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::blushes slightly still wishing he could place where he heard her name before with that the Lift came to a stop and opened to reveal Engineering::
CIV: Well it has been a pleasure meeting you Nyira. This is my stop.
::looks between Takor and Santiago pausing for a moment looking at each of them in turn and suddenly fits the pieces together::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
CO: I'm glad to pleasure you. ::grins::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::a short of choked cough comes from Takor at Nyira’s last as she tries to maintain composure::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::holds the Turbolift door open a moment:: CIV: You were on the Quirinus. I remember reading about it. I am sorry for your loss.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::As a horrified thought flew through her mind "But it’s the Captain!"::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::a sadness creeps into her face for a short moment:: CO: thank you 
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole: 
::standing watch over OPS, which is easier for him than most as he is 2.16 meters tall::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Takor's face smooth’s into a somber look as she is reminded::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CIV: Look that is nice of you, I appreciate that, I have to work now, but the offer goes to you as well even if you are not one of my staff I am more than willing to listen, off duty of course. If you need anything.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::looks at Jadera's look and grins again:: CEO: don't worry hun your still my fav drinking buddy
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::moves his hand away from the lift door wondering for a brief moment where Santiago might let it take her then turns to the Takor::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
::Caught between a friend and professionalism simply replies with::Nyira: Um right... ::A small smile as her eyes flick to the Captain::
CO: Can I help you Sir? I was just heading to Ops.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: I wanted you to know we will be using Transporter Room 3.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
 ::Puzzled::CO: You came down here for that Sir?
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: How much time will you need to get it all setup? ::listens to Takor and smiles:: Of course I like to see my officer's in their native environment.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian:
 ::decides to go change and have a workout:: TL: Level 44 
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Um yes Sir. Prep is underway, with transporter 3 known we can lock it down. It shouldn't take more than a few hours to put all the precautions into place.
Captain John E. Bodine:
CEO: Can you get it done before your shift is over today I would like it all prepared for Peterson's arrival. Also I know they sent you data on this make sure you read through it and if you have concerns I want to hear them.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor: 
CO: Yes Sir, I can have a report on your desk by end of shift. I'd better go set up a repair schedule with the FCO if you still want those shuttles up to spec as well. ::She says politely with a small smile::
