Episode #629: "A Beam of Light" Part 2: Previously on Arcadia: Shortly after the changing of Arcadia's command staff, Captain Bodine received orders from Starfleet that Arcadia is to be used as an origin point for a new subspace transmission based transporter test. The idea is to convert the transporter pattern buffer into a compressed data stream, transmit the data stream through subspace to another federation ship, and then decompress the data stream and reintegrate the transport buffer. Lieutenant Anthony Peterson from the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, who previously conducted upgrades of Arcadia's LCARS systems with no problems, has arrived on the U.S.S. New Hampshire, which docked 1 hour ago.  He has dropped his stuff in his quarters and is ready to meet with Lieutenant Takor in Transporter Room 3. The U.S.S. New Hampshire is getting ready to disembark.  It will be traveling 10 light years away to be the destination point for the first test.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Captain’s Log, Stardate 11306.10. Lieutenant Peterson’s ship the New Hampshire has arrived today, and he is expected to start his Transporter tests. We have setup Transporter Room 3 for the tests, there are no expected delays. Peterson who is already familiar with the Station should be able to get started as soon as he arrives.

::walks over to the Replicator and orders hot tea, Pomegranate::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Looks up from the console::Peterson: Hello Lt. Everything looks ready to go on this end.
Flight Control Officer Ram:
@COM: Arcadia: This is Ensign Ram aboard the New Hampshire, we are ready to get underway, requesting permission to cut umbilical
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::sits down at his desk he pauses before he picks up the next PADD instead he taps his Commbadge:: *CEO*: Bodine to Takor
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
*CO*:Takor Here Sir.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
*CEO*: When are the tests scheduled to begin Lieutenant has Peterson arrived yet?
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::hot and sweaty she wraps up with a good kick then grabs a towel and heads out to her quarters:: 
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin:
COM: New Hampshire: Please hold while I get your clearance.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
*CO*: Here's here in Transporter room 3 with me now Sir. One moment on timing.
Peterson: When will be getting started? Soon as the New Hampshire is ready?
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin:
*FCO*: The New Hampshire is requesting clearance to depart.
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CEO: We should have enough time to make our modifications while the New Hampshire gets into position 10 light-years away
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
Peterson: Understood.
*CO*: Sir soon as the New Hampshire is in place we should be ready to try this.
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CEO: The reason I chose Arcadia for this is because Arcadia is a major node in the subspace comm relay network.  We need to tie the transporter pattern buffer into the subspace transceiver array
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Satisfied that the cylinder is ready, he motions for an assistant to help him load it unto a cart:: MO: Ok, let's get this thing down to transporter room 3.
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
::pulls out an isolinear chip:: CEO: This is the compression program I wrote for compressing the pattern buffer into a data stream.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::she walks toward the turbolift:: 
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
COM: Ensign Ram, this is Ensign Doole. Disenage all moorings. Drop external dampners and fire your manuevering thrusters. You are clear for departure. Safe sailing.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::nods to the CEO then realizes she would never be aware of it:: *CEO*: I want to see this myself I will be right down. ::gets up from his dek and leaves his office behind::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Takes it::Peterson: Yes I and my staff examined the information you sent ahead. Amazing stuff if it works::Puts in a reader to make sure its the same as what was sent before putting it in the place prepared for it.::
*CO*: Aye sir just checking the iso chip now. Takor Out.
Flight Control Officer Ram:
@COM: Doole: Acknowledged Arcadia, we look forward to receiving the transport cylinder from 10 lightyears away.
Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin:
::straightens as the Captain passes on his way to the Turbolift:: CO: Captain, the New Hampshire is departing.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::gets in the turbolift:: TL: Civilian Quarters level 44
ACTION: The U.S.S. New Hampshire disengages umbilicals and pulls away from the station on thrusters
Captain John E. Bodine: 
OPS: Very good Lieutenant. ::enters the Turbolift and orders it to Transporter room 3 as the doors snap shut::
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CEO: Thanks, I'm rather proud of my work on the program
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
Peterson: How long have you been working on it?
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CEO: I've been working on it as a pet project the last couple of years, but didn't get time to really work on it till after I got done with the LCARS upgrades a few months ago
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
::watches as the USS New Hampshire clears the outer doors and heads for open space to the designated target point::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
*CEO* Dr. Downer to Takor
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Chip checks out and installs it in its proper slot.::Peterson: Well it'll be great to see it in action I know how hard it is to wait for something to get done. *CMO*: Is the cylinder ready to go Doctor?
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::the turbolift lets her off and she heads to her quarters to shower::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
*CMO*: Great minds Doctor, what can I do for you?
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
Duty FCO: I have to go meet Peterson down in Transporter Room 3. Take over here. :;heads to TL, enters and orders in to Transporter Room 3::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
*CEO* They are surely great indeed Lieutenant. I am outside transporter room 3 with the cylinder. It is ready to go.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::The other engineers standing by jump into action, working on a direct tie from the transporter room to the subspace transceiver array::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::arrives on the same deck as Transporter Room 3 and makes his way there walkng at a respectable place::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
*CMO*: Please come in, we're almost ready here ::finishes installing the chip and monitors the work and data stream.::
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::enjoys the hot water washing away the sweat and easing her muscles after her workout:: 
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
::arrives on Transporter Room 3's deck and heads for it with wide strides covering the distance in moments, enters Transporter Room 3, ducking as he does, so not to bang his head::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
Peterson: We're trying to make sure its a tight bond the more hoops it jumps through the greater the chance it won't work well...::As she continues to check the process::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Gives his security code and pushes the cylinder into the room. He looks around and smirks:: ALL: I'm usually used to delivering babies, not packages. I do love a good science experiment, however.  Here is your cylinder.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Glances up::CMO: Thank You Doctor a bouncing baby hunk of metal, well done..::Grin::CMO: Just put it off to the side we're almost ready here. Welcomed to stay and observe if you'd like...
::Thinks to self, "Everyone else seems too" with a mental grin::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::arrives in Transporter Room 3:: CEO: Report?
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: We're linking the transporter and the subspace array through a clean junction. We're worried the longer a trip we make it take the larger the chance of a compression error. So it has to be a tight meld.
::Continues to work with the other engineers..::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Grins and pushes the cylinder to the side of the room.  He sends the MO back to the infirmary:: CEO: Thank you lieutenant. The Captain actually asked me to assist by monitoring the life signs of the cylinder so I hope you don't mind an extra hand.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: No problem all data possible on this one...::She answers almost absently, focused on her work::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::loooks around and locks onto Peterson: Peterson: Lieutenant Peterson I presume? ::notices the Doctor brought what he asked for::
ACTION: The New Hampshire is traveling at warp
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CO: That's me sir, you must be Captain Bodine.  my briefing told me Sulek was no longer aboard the station.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::shuts off the water and steps out dripping wet she glances in the mirror as she wraps a towel around her body::
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Thinks to self, "Should of intro'd them..." then is distracted by finishing and double checking the link manually as well::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Peterson: Good to meet you, I had my Chief Medical Officer prepare a bio canister for your transporter test. I want it used before we allow any live person to test the system. We can proceed anytime you are ready as long as Lt. Takor is okay with it.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Doing a final check on all systems now Sir. My Deputy is monitoring from Engineering as well
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CO: Of course captain, this test is nowhere near ready for human trials, I wasn't even going to use a bio-cylindar for the first test, was just going to use a simple object, though there is no real harm in using a bio cylindar I suppose
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
::looks down at Peterson:: Peterson: So, what is your plan with this exactly anyways. I mean how's this supposed to work exactly?
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Peterson: Yes he has retired after a very long service to Starfleet, I read his report after I heard you had been to Arcadia Before. I understand then Lt. Chambers gave you some gief but that everything worked out very well and that you are very by the book. I like that.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::drys off and starts mosturising her body:: Self: my first day off in a while and I don't know what to do with myself.  Jedara is busy with work and well i don't have anyone else to hang with ::sighs:: 
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
::unintentioanal low growl at the sound of his Uncle's name being used that way::
::but audiable::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Peterson/CEO: I will stay out of your way then, I just wish to observe. Proceed.
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
FCO: The idea is to compress the pattern buffer into a stream of data that can be transmitted like a subspace message.  In this case we will transmit it to the New Hampshire, which I have already setup with a transporter room the same way.
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
Peterson: will the New Hampshire be moving or stationary?
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
FCO: The computer on the New Hampshire will decompress the data stream back into a pattern buffer and then rematerialize the cylindar on their pad.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
::moves off to the side::
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
FCO: For the first 2 tests, it will be stationary.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CMO: Thanks for getting that canister ready on such short notice. I assume that the test cylindar contents will allow the Scientists on the New Hampshire to determine the effect this kind of transporter usage would have on a biologic?
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Continues to work on the link and systems checks::ALL: This could be a bit we can't do anything until the Hampshire gets to ten light years, perhaps everyone could return in a few days?
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CO: Aye sir, I have configured to simulate the biological signatures of several of races within the Federation. The effects of transport will be accessible to both the Hampshire and here on Arcadia.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
Peterson: If you could check over my work we want to make sure its all perfect. CO: Perhaps a security officer at the door to prevent anyone from accidentally messing with the experiment?
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CMO: Very good doctor, very good.
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Grins and stiffens his back a bit:: CO: Thank you sir.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
ALL: Nothing is going to be decided now. Lets keep the area locked down.
Nyira Santiago, Civilian: 
::decides to go to work and see if she can pick up an extra shift:: 
Captain John E. Bodine: 
ALL: It will take time for the New Hampshire to get into position. In the meantime, I want Engineering and operations teams to triple check the integrations.
CMO: Does the bio-canister need to be stored or will it be safe here?
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Aye Sir. ::Taking that as an order::
::Continues to work::
Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CO: I have prepared a containment field within the storage unit that it is in. As long as no one opens the unit, it can stay there ready for the experiment indefinately.
Captain John E. Bodine: 
ALL: If there is nothing else for the time being, Ensign Doole why don't you show Peterson around the Promenade.
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CO: If it is all the same to you sir, I've seen the Promenade on my last visit, I have a lot of calculations to run before the test, I want this to be textbook
Captain John E. Bodine: 
CMO: okay we will keep this area on a level 2 lockdown. I will have Tactical station two security officers at the door.
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
::nods to the CO::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Peterson: As you wish. I just want to be sure you can find your way around.
CEO: Don't forget to eat. I know how you Engineers can get. I used to be one.
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Looks up from the systems check::CO: Food? Right...sure soon..Sir...I didn't know you were an engineer. ::Last said in the tone of some who found one of their tribe.::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
FCO: If Peterson does not need anything presently you can resume your normal duties.
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
::chuckles:: CO: Yeah we do tend to get a little one-tracked
Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Blinks to clear her mind of the numbers and visions of readouts dancing in her head::
Captain John E. Bodine: 
Peterson: It was a pleasure to meet you. ::with that he exited headed for the Promenade::
Lieutenant Anthony Peterson:
CEO: Speaking of food, last time I was hear I heard one of your underlings talking about some Engineer's only place… I think it was called Spanners?
Flight Control Officer Ensign JT Doole:
:: follows the CO:: CO: If he wishes to stay, perhaps I can assist with him with the calculations. I do hold a degree in Engineering, specializing in transwarp beaming. Unless , of course, you need me elsewhere.
