Episode #631: "A Beam of Light" Part IV: Previously on Arcadia: Lieutenant Anthony Peterson is aboard Arcadia station to conduct experiments in embedding transporter signatures inside subspace transmissions. The first 2 tests were quite successful.  Arcadia was able to beam a test canister 10 lightyears away to the U.S.S. New Hampshire and the New Hampshire were able to beam an identical canister back to Arcadia. When the time came for the third test (A test of beaming from Arcadia to the New Hampshire while the New Hampshire was at warp) things went horribly wrong. The warp bubble and motion of the New Hampshire caused the transporter lock to jump, and instead of beaming a test canister off of the transporter pad to the New Hampshire, the transporter beam locked onto Civilian Nyira Santiago. Nyira was unfortunately not beamed to the New Hampshire either the transporter signature, when colliding with the New Hampshire's warp bubble caused the transporter beam to bend through subspace, creating a temporal vortex, and her signature was beamed to some point in the past. Based on calculations of Lieutenant Takor, her pattern most likely arrived intact at one of 32 different points in space-time, spanning most of the Alpha Quadrant, and over a thousand years into the past. Time is of the essence; the longer Nyira spends in the past the more likely she is to cause damage to the Space-Time Continuum. The smallest deviation in history could have massive repercussions. As Nyira has no Starfleet training, she would not be briefed in the Temporal Prime Directive by Starfleet, and thus may have no way of knowing what affects her presence could have on history.
Captain John E. Bodine: 	
Captain’s Log, Stardate 11307.15: In an attempt to advance Transporter Technology we somehow managed to inadvertently transport one of the stations civilians to an undetermined location in the Alpha Quadrant. It also appears she may have shifted in time as well as space. We have a set of possible locations to go on but it may take a long time to get through all the possibilities and we have no idea if Mrs. Nyira Santiago is in any danger. We need to find some way to narrow the possibilities, and do so quickly.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::puts the baseball back in its stand and comes out of his office::

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Working at her station in OPS, checking the modified transport process.::

Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: Chief how many of the 32 possibilities are even livable for a human? We can cross any off that do not suit a human. If she is anywhere that does not support human life then we can assume we need not check those locations out. ::he did not want to use the word dead::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Sitting in his office, sipping  hot chocolate out of a mug that reads Universe's Best Surgeon/Lover. He is reading an article on the effects of time travel on physiologies of Federation races::

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: I can run that check Sir but first I had a thought to saturate the shields with chronotron particles. This may shield Arcadia from any changes in the timeline....

Captain John E. Bodine:
::taps his Commbadge:: CMO: Chief Medical Officer please report to Operations.

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::taps his Commbadge:: *CO*: Right away sir.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
 CEO: Okay, you think if we are shielded we might be able to detect any irregularities?

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Takes one last sip of his hot chocolate and hurries out of his office. He puts on a very serious face and heads to the nearest TL::

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Possibly it will at least protect those on board.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: We are also inside the shields Lieutenant. Will the station personnel be at risk from exposure to the particles?

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CEO: No sir the gravimetric resonance natural in the shielding will hold the particles into the bubble around us. I can run continuous scans to watch for rogue particles but risk should be minimal. But we have to lock it down no one but the away team in or out or they may find hangers on as they pass through....

Captain John E. Bodine: 
OPS: Begin a comparative database search on historical documentation, narrow the search to the 32 possible transporter sites

Operations Officer Lieutenant JG Tracy Lorin:
CO: Aye Captain. ::starts the search::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Waits impatiently for the doors of the TL to open and as they do, he steps into Operations. He looks around at the room that he rarely endeavors and spots the Captain.::

Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: Okay in the mean time I want you to work with Ensign Downer when he gets here to narrow down the list of possibilities. As soon as you have both done all you can I guess we will just have to start looking.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Aye Sir. ::Works with FCO to make sure no one is coming or going before locking down the station's travel and puts the chorition plan in place as soon as it is safe to do so.::

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::turns to face the CMO:: CMO: Thank you, we need to narrow down the possible locations work with Takor once you have those knocked off we will start looking. I am going to go talk to Starfleet about what happen. ::heads back to the ready room::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CEO: Well, Lieutenant, let's take a look at that data. Nothing quite like a little detective work.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::grabs a tea then takes a seat at his desk tapping in some controls:: COM: Starfleet Command: This is Captain John Bodine Commanding Officer Arcadia Station with a situation report. ::waits for a reply::

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Nearly done::CMO: One moment...::Taps a few more keys..::CMO: We are now safe from timeline changes...or as safe as it gets....

::Spins in chair to face CMO::CMO: We can drop 3 planets as not suitable for human life, any other ideas? Short of looking for graffiti "Nyira was here" I'm not sure what else we can do..::looks thoughtful...::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CEO: well, in epidemiology we look for a commonality amongst outbreaks to look for a potential ground zero.  Is there something similar about these locations?

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::taps fingers on his desk::

Lieutenant Paran:
@COM: CO: Starfleet Command here, how can we help you Captain

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Calls up the remaining 29 planets::CMO: As you can see on this chart they are scattered throughout time and space....

Captain John E. Bodine: 
COM: Paran: I must regrettably report a problem with the subspace transporter test we have had a complication. One of the Station's civilian populous, a Miss Nyira Santiago was beamed to an unknown location and it appears there may have been temporal mechanics involved.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: I'm running them through the computer it will list all known similarities.. ::Taps a few more keys..::CMO: See if we can't find a higher proportion of links...

Captain John E. Bodine: 
COM: Paran: We are working to discover just exactly happen, but there may be other complications and we need to stop all traffic to Arcadia until the present situation is resolved.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: That's annoying looks like some information is classified, we may have to have the Captain check for your 'ground zero' ::Sends the request to the CO to his console with the 'restricted information' notation.::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Rubs his chin and then makes a pained expression that is his trademarked "thinking face":: CEO: Are there any significance to the dates and locations?

CEO: Very interesting. Perhaps a game is afoot.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: The game is a what?

::Distracted a moment by the odd phrase::

Lieutenant Paran:
@COM: CO: Understood Captain, we will transfer ships to other stations.  Please hold while I transfer you to Temporal Investigation department

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CEO: Oh, sorry, it's an old Earth saying, meaning that perhaps there is something more than pure coincidence going on.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
:: "Oh Joy.." he thought to himself::

ACTION: The COMM Signal changes to a Starfleet command logo

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: Ah I hope not, last think I need is for there to be some all powerful alien at the end of this....

::Tries to learn what she can of the 29 planets while waits for the Captains reply to her information request.::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Grins:: CEO: It would be kind of exciting though. They didn't have all powerful aliens at my last posting. We had... tapioca. And babies.

Lieutenant Paran:
::reappears on screen:: @COM: CO: I'm sorry captain, Temporal Investigations seems to be busy… investigating something, they will contact you soon.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: Well we get them a lot around here, I expect someone will be trying to put us under a microscope soon enough....::Still studying readouts, looking for threads or clues....

CMO: Or kill us we get a lot of that too just because we don't let bullies run amok...

Captain John E. Bodine: 
COM: Paran: They are, are they? Very well that will be all Lieutenant. ::closes the Comm Channel.::

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Taps a few keys rolls on her rolling chair to another section and taps a few more keys before moving back.::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::mutters under his breath:: Self: I hate bullies.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Hearing him::CMO: You'll fit in fine around here....::stares worriedly at the readouts.::

CMO: Looks like they do all have classified information on them by Starfleet...that is really odd....

Captain John E. Bodine: 
Computer: Access All Active temporal investigation files. Under SFI Authority Agent Bodine, Pi 29 Theta. Show me the most recent files accessed.

*CEO/CMO*: When you two have the list narrowed down join me please.

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Nearly claps his hands together, but stops himself and smiles widely:: CEO: I believe we have found our commonality.

INFO: The computer shows Captain Bodine about SFI investigating a story about a Ferengi creating a temporal device to attempt to make money gambling, completely unrelated to anything happening on the station

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: It didn't narrow it down but I suppose it is a lead, well thought Doctor... *CO*: Aye Sir on our way...  ::gestures for the doctor to precede her.::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Straightens out his uniform and follows the CEO:: CEO: I wish I had a pipe.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
Self: Typical

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
 ::Follows Doctor::CMO: Why a pipe?

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::fills his tea and sits back down::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CEO: Style. A stylish detective should always have a pipe. Oh at least the ones in my holostories do.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::closes the Ferengi investigation files but leaves the database link open for now::

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::shakes her head bemusedly at the Doctor as they tap the door chime to the Captains RR::

Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: Enter

::folds his hands on the desk:: ALL: Any luck?

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Walks in with the Doctor and wastes no time::CO: Sir we were looking for the doctors 'patient zero' when we discovered all 32 points have classified information by Starfleet Command.

CO: We don't have the security to access it...

::Looks at the CMO for information he wants to add::

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
::Nods to the CEO:: CO: We believe that there may be some common links to each of those 32 points that may help us find the right one but we need that classified info to determine that.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::looks curious taps a few keys and brings up a search box on the console then turns the computer around to face the two officers:: CEO: Punch in the file ID.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Taps the correct codes into the console::

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::turns the screen back around so he can see the results first::

ALL: Did you manage to narrow the list any?

INFO: The computer indicates to Captain Bodine that all 32 points in history are points of known temporal incursions

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Steps away shrugging at the CMO::CO: 3 points are inhospitable to human life. 

Captain John E. Bodine: 
CEO: Just 3? ::sighs:: that leaves 29 possible.

CEO: Let’s assume for a moment distance is a factor. How many are reasonably close to our sector in space?

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
::Checks:: CO: 4 are within ten light years

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::asking his own questions and now reading the Temporal report he places his own query into the computer and waits for the result::

ALL: what I am about to say is highly classified. Declassifying this information to you does not grant either of you permission to divulge it to anyone else.

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CO: Understood.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Understood.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
ALL: It appears that all 32 possibilities were already listed by temporal intelligence as incursion points.

CEO: Let’s say we started beaming around assuming we can to go look for Miss Santiago how do we find her when we get to each location?

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CMO: Can you track her with a medical tricorder?

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
ALL: Assuming she hasn't left the area by some other means, using her DNA signature, we should be able to locate her fairly easily.

Captain John E. Bodine: 
ALL: Any other suggestions other then we start looking?

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: The return device is all set to go we need to do this a.s.a.p. before too much gets changed, it should be a small team. Efforts to blend where applicable....

Captain John E. Bodine: 
::turns the console to face the two officers again then gets up to stand behind them:: CEO: Pick one and we go. Add the list to your tricorder.

Chief Medical Officer Ensign Garnet Downer:
CO: I don't have any other ideas other than to trek out and look for her one location at a time.

ALL: Oh! Disguises?

::mutters to himself:: Self: I should bring a pipe.

Chief Engineering Officer Lieutenant JG Jadera Takor:
CO: Yes Sir and we'll have an pull back programmed into the computer so if we're in the same spot it will automatically pull us back. CMO: At least civilian clothes, just in case if we're jumping a lot of lines we don't know what else may be needed...

Captain John E. Bodine: 
CMO: Good idea I will talk to Lorin and have the transporter set to something appropriate.
