Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: 5 minutes
Previously on Arcadia:
The U.S.S. Anderson has docked with Arcadia in preparation for a mission to investigate strange readings of temporal displacement in a nearby region of space.
Captain Yan is being escorted to Operations where he intends on meeting with Captain Bodine
CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain’s Log, Stardate 11311.11. The U.S.S. Anderson has arrived at Arcadia Station in the last hour and Captain Yan as I understand it is headed directly to Operations. Perhaps his urgency will explain why he has thus far been comm silent the last couple of days. I have no idea what kind of Commander Yan is nor do I know anything about his personality.
I suppose we'll find out soon what this is all about and how it might relate to a 200 year old Starfleet record that predates even the UFP...

Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" - Episode II - “Dinner Plans”
CO Capt Bodine says:
::still standing in Operations looking toward the Turbolift expectantly::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::In the turbolift with Capt Yan as it moves toward operations.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Working at her station in ops coordinating with Yan's engineers on their needs.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Chief did the Anderson say she needed any special considerations for their mission?
Capt Yan says:
ACTION: The turbolift arrives in operations
CO Capt Bodine says:
::glances at Takor then back at the TL and its occupants who are now emerging into Operations::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Just standard restocking Sir. No special requests...
::Returns her attention to her Station.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::As the door opens onto operations he motions to Yan.:: Capt: After you sir.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Very good. Thank you
Capt Yan says:
::nods to the CTO and exits the Turbolift::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Yes Sir.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::is pleased to see curtesy coming as a natural priority for his new Klingon Officer he gave the CTO the smallest of nods::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Glances curiously but briefly at the new arrivals, a quick nod then back to her work even as one ear cocked toward the conversation just in case.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Yan: Greetings Captain, welcome to Arcadia ::he steps up to greet the man::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Gives the CO a curt nod and leaves the captains and steps back over to the tactical station, logging in and bringing up the library records.::
Capt Yan says:
CO: Hello Captain. First of all, I must apologize that I was unable to RSVP to your invitation. I've been told that you were offended by my apparent rudeness. Unfortunately, Starfleet has me under strict orders not to have any non-essential subspace communications over the course of this mission.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Finishes the discussion with Yan's engineer and ends the com call. Her deputy takes over and she calls up other work.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::Looks at Yan their eyes locked a moment, then he spoke:: Yan: Curious would be much more accurate. I assure you I am not so easily offended.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Bringing up the search interface he searches for Suliban ship designs, bring up the designs for the cell ships and the helix station.::
Capt Yan says:
::grins:: CO: No, I would presume you were made from tougher stuff than that. If your invitation still stands, I would be delighted to join you for that meal. We have much to discuss.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Gets up and gets a Raktajino::CTO: Want one? ::Hefts the cup in the CTO's general direction::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::glances at Doole a moment then back at Yan:: Yan: Of course do you want to save official business for dinner? Or was there something more urgent first?

FCO Ens Doole says:
::without saying anything, gives the CO a "What'd I do?" look::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Glances up at Takor:: CEO: Yes sir, ::Turns back to his console before remembering.:: Thank you.
Capt Yan says:
CO: Dinner will be fine, we aren't scheduled to depart for another 4 hours.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Nods and gets another cup handing to the CTO:: CTO: What are you working on? ::She asks curiously.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Yan: We have a few nice restaurants but perhaps my private mess would be best? We could always order in. Being on a station you are not restricted to ship replicators 24/7 it's one of the perks. Shall we do something in about 20 minutes? I just need to wrap this shift up. And deal with some last minute tasks that just came up. ::looks at James again::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Takes the offered cup taking a drink before answering.:: CEO: Some research on a race called the suliban, specifically their ship design specs.
Capt Yan says:
CO: That sounds fine. There is one... non-business matter I have for you as well.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::remains poker-faced::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::looks very intrigued:: Yan: I look forward to dinner then.
Capt Yan says:
CO: I picked up a passenger who wanted to be delivered specifically to your station. A Mister Ramone Santiago, former Starfleet Officer, retired. He says he has personal business on your station.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CTO: Interesting, they have their own version of a cloaking device. ::She turned to let him to his work but turned back::CTO: Anything I should know?::She asks wracking her brain for Suliban data.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Yan: Santiago .. you say ... ::glances at Takor::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Shrugs.:: CEO: I don't know, not even really sure why I'm pulling up the designs just following orders.
Capt Yan says:
CO: As I was unable to use comms for any non-essential communications, I was unable to phone ahead, may he have permission to board the station?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Doesn't see the look focusing on the CTO:: CTO: I see, well let me know if you need any help. I've a knack for specs...::A nod and she leaves him to his own work wondering why they are studying Suliban information.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Yan: Yes of course, I believe my chief Engineer may be of some assistance here as well. Lieutenant Takor could you come here please.
CEO: Lieutenant, if you are quite done with your duties here could you find Mister Santiago escort him to his Kin please?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Almost coughs up her Raktinjo::CO: Yes Sir.
CO: Santiago as in? ::Can he mean what she thought he meant.::
::Puts the cup back in the replicator and prepares to leave as she asks.::
Capt Yan says:
CO: His Kin? So you are expecting this individual then?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Best never to presume to much, but if I am guessing correctly then yes I believe Nyira is who the fellow may be looking for. Do you believe we need to warn Nyira before a formal introduction is made? Hmm What do you think ?
Yan: No actually I was not, but we have only one other person that I am aware of on the station that shares the same name.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: That would be best Sir. So she can prepare herself::She says adjusting to the news. As Nyira's friend she'd heard a lot of her past but never expected this.::
CO: When will Mr. Santiago Arrive?
CIV Nyira says:
::rushes around her quarters tiding up stopping every few moments to look at herself in the mirror making sure she looks ok.:: Self: Breath everything is just fine it’s not like your meeting your father you haven't seen since you were 4 years old. oh wait you are. ::sits down a moment to put her head between her legs::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Her mind whirling making plans.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Yan: Perhaps it would be best if Mr. Santiago remains on the Anderson until Miss Santiago can be contacted. It should not take long.
Capt Yan says:
CO: Fine with me, you can let my OPS officer know when it's safe for Mr. Santiago to come aboard. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go freshen up a bit before dinner.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Brings up all the relevant data on the suliban ship designs he downloads a copy onto a padd before digging deeper into the design specs.::
Capt Yan says:
CO: I presume the turbolift will be able to escort me to your mess?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Jadera, Any idea if Nyira had expected company
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Not sure, I've been busy and we've not talked lately. If we have a choice he should remain where he is until I warn her, with her permission Sir?
CO Capt Bodine says:
Yan: Yes of course. Unless you would like an escort. I can spare Mister Doole for as long as you need him. He is at your complete disposal until you depart.
Capt Yan says:
::tries to avoid giving Bodine a knowing stare:: CO: I don't want to take up your officer's time. I'm sure there are much more important tasks for him than babysitting an old Captain like me.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::not sure Doole would be the one doing the sitting:: Yan: It's up to you the offer stands. In any Case .. 

FCO Ens Doole says:
::with a Klingon salute, bring his right arm across his chest to his left shoulder:: CO: As you wish. CO_Yan I would be honored to....in your words..."babysit an old captain like you." Though I would not call it babysitting nor would I refer to you as old
CO: Of course Captain ::gives another Klingon Salute, spins on his heel and leaves to find the CEO::
Capt Yan says:
::bows to the bridge and then turns to return to the turbolift::
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: James, if you could be so kind and check with Takor I think the duterium tanks needs their valves cleaned;
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Sir I'll go talk to Nyria now if I may?
CO Capt Bodine says:
::calls to Yan:: Yan: See you in a few minutes.
CEO: Of course.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Nods and heads to the TL and makes her way to Nyira’s location::
Capt Yan says:
CO: I look forward to it Captain.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Taps on her door chime::
Capt Yan says:
FCO: That's ok Ensign, I can take care of myself.
::enters the turbolift and leaves Operations::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::moves over to the CTO talking low:: CTO: Did you find that data?
FCO Ens Doole says:
Computer: Location of Chief Engineer Takor
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Looks up from his console.:: CO: Yes sir, looking at it now,, ::Picks up a padd offering it to the captain.:: I've downloaded the data I could pull onto this padd.
CIV Nyira says:
::hears the chime and jumps up glances in the mirror and then sighs running her fingers through her hair then goes to the door and opens it.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Takes a look at Nyira::Nyira: So I take it you know?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Good Good ... ::glances at the PADD:: I am not sure what the classification of Yan's mission is yet but I have a feeling .. Anyway best to keep this on a need to know till I am certain. I may come find you after dinner okay?
FCO Ens Doole says:
<Computer>: Chief Engineer Takor is on Deck 12.
::steps into a turbolift:: TL : Deck 12
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Of course captain, I'll be available if you need me sir. ::Pauses for a moment:: Are we expecting trouble from these Suliban?
CIV Nyira says:
::lets out a sigh:: CEO: Thank the stars it’s you I’m going out of my mind here. Please say you have a flask with you I could use a drink ::she turns and starts rushing around again checking things:: better yet I shouldn't have anything stronger then tea for a while.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::arrives at Deck 8, exits TL::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Steps inside::Nyira: Just stop, sit down and take a breath.::Tries the calm friend approach::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::looks contemplative:: CTO: I am not even sure we will be directly involved in Yan's mission or just offering him support. As for trouble, well I have no idea to be honest. As far as I know we have been at peace all these years.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: Everything is fine; he's not going to notice the decor anyway.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods:: CO: I will prepare for trouble anyway.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::within a few strides arrives at Takor's location and rings the door chime::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::grins:: CTO: I would expect nothing less from a Klingon and Chief Tactical Officer. We will get along just fine I think, you and me.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: One he's a guy, two and most important he'll be looking at you. ::Gently tries to guide her friend to a chair.:: 

CIV Nyira says:
::takes her friends advice and sits down:: CTO: He's here isn't he?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: Yes He's waiting on the Anderson. Should I go get him or wait with you and send someone?
::Glances puzzled at the door as it chimes then at Nyira:: Nyira: He is still on the Anderson I promise...
FCO Ens Doole says:
::chimes the door again::
::can sense the tension and uneasiness from the room::
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: Who the hell is that then. ::looks frantic :: DOOR: enter
FCO Ens Doole says:
::growing concerned::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Automatically stands in front of Nyria::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::steps inside::
CIV Nyira says:
::doesn't trust her legs waiting to see who comes in::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Relaxes::FCO: Yes?
::Taking point letting Nyira hide if she wants.::
CIV Nyira says:
::her eyes bulge she grabs a large object and throws it at Doole:: FCO: Who said you could come to my quarters you big ox.

FCO Ens Doole says:
::catches the object in mid-air:: CEO: 1. The Captain sent me to find you. Something about thinking the duterium tanks needs their valves cleaned. 2. ::indicating Nyira:: Is she alright?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: Nyira! You sit down and drink some tea. ::Turns to FCO: You, what do you need that you couldn't comm?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CIV: You did.
