Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: 4 hours
Previously on Arcadia:
Captain Yan of the U.S.S. Anderson has been assigned a mission to explore the nebula near Regulus that was once the home of Silik of the Suliban, an agent in the Temporal Cold War, of which the mid-22nd century was a front.
After a bit of confusion involving a large empty shipping crate (somebody's getting fired), the Anderson got underway on its mission to seek out strange readings reminiscent of times long ago (or long in the future, depending on how you see things)
It has been 4 days and the Anderson missed it's scheduled check-in yesterday. Captain Bodine's standing orders are to investigate in the event the Anderson doesn't check in on schedule.
Meanwhile Nyira Santiago's father has come aboard the station, and has been spending the last 4 days getting acquainted with the daughter he hasn't seen in many years. While aboard he has decided to use his savings to help Nyira purchase the Strawberry Tea Room, which closed 2 days ago. Nyira and Ramone are working through the paperwork to close escrow and purchase the shop so she can setup her own establishment on the promenade.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain’s Log Stardate: 11401.06: It has been four days and the U.S.S. Anderson has failed to make regular reports back to Arcadia Station. As per the encrypted orders we will attempt to make remote contact. If we are unable to make contact we may be asked to pursue the Anderson and ascertain their mission status.
I plan to check in with Starfleet Command though before we disembark, because any action we take could adversely affect any on-going operations that may have caused the U.S.S. Anderson and Captain Yan to go silent.

::takes a big sniff:: CO: Uugghh! What in the name of Kahless is that Captain ::indicates the cup::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
*CO*: On my way captain. ::Shuts down his computer and heads out of his office.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::glances at Doole letting his frown clearly show:: FCO: Ya think you might stand a bit closer?
FCO Ens Doole says:
::not fully understanding, does as the Captain asks and stands closer::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Enters a lift ordering it to operations.::
::Steps off the lift and moves toward his station frowning as he glances over at the FCO and CO wondering why they were standing so close.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: The Anderson is overdue re-task the sensor pallets toward Regulus, tell me if the ship is on long range scans?
::moves to the other side of the command circle::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::realigns the long range sensor pallets towards Regulus' direction to see if the Anderson is where she is supposed to be::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Ah good, Ensign the Anderson is overdue setup an encrypted subspace channel and attempt to hail them please.
::reviews his orders to see how far he should go in attempting to make contact::
CIV Nyira says:
::looks at the time and finishes fixing her hair she decided to pull it back with a simple band then she heads out the door to head to her father's quarters so they can go to the meeting together::
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Is the Anderson still on LRS?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: No sign of the Anderson on LRS.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Yes sir. ::Turns his attention to his station, logging and bringing up the communications array.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: However, the Nebula could be interfering with sensors

CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Have the Tigress prepped for a stealth recon mission. Have it ready within the hour. Go.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: that coupled with the distance between us and them.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Sets up an encrypted channel and directs a hail toward the last known location of the Anderson.::
CIV Nyira says:
::walks to the turbo lift entering it and taking it to the level for temporary accommodations::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: On my way. ::leaves OPS for Shuttle Bay 1::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Any luck Mister Cadarn?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: No response to the hails captain.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::arrives in shuttle Bay 1::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::checks his PADD not seeing anything that forbids him from using a probe not seeing any clear reference to such a ban he takes the next step in re-establishing contact:: CTO: Have Science prepare a Class X long range probe and get it launched toward Regulus. I want results within 45 minutes.
CIV Nyira says:
::gets out of the turbo lift and walks down to where her father’s room is takes a deep breath then chimes the door::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::walks over to the Tigress and immediately gets to work on the setting her up for stealth recon::
Ramone Santiago says:
::opens the door:: CIV: Is it time?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: When the probe is in route go make sure Doole does not do anything unnecessary for a stealth recon mission to my ship please. Then come back and check the probe results and contact me when you have something. I need to get a Runabout mission authorized so I am headed to the ready room to contact Starfleet.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Understood sir.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::Self (but talking to the Tigress): Cap wants you ready to fly within the hour, but this is me he's talking to. I'll have you ready to fly in 15 minutes.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::heads for his Ready room:: CTO: Thanks. ::disappears into his ready room::
CIV Nyira says:
Ramone: It will be by the time we make it to OPS.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Turns to his console opening a comm link with the science department and sends them the probe requirements.:: 
FCO Ens Doole says:
::continues conversing with the Tigress:: You'll be so stealth, the Captain could park you in the center square of Romulus' capital city, and no one would ever know he was there.
ACTION: When the Tigress is powered up to begin preparations a panel pops off with a jet of steam erupts from behind the panel, the OPS console starts beeping indicating the EPS relay failure

Ramone Santiago says:
CIV: We should get going then... How do I look, it's been a long time since I've had a business meeting with a captain.
FCO Ens Doole says:
Tigress: That's not the response I'm looking for from you.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::sits down at the desk tapping his security code:: COM: Starfleet Command: Requesting secure connection with Admiral William Crenshaw, this is Captain John Bodine, Commanding Officer Arcadia Station. We have lost contact with the U.S.S. Anderson we are attempting to send a probe but I would like to lead a recon mission toward Regulus. Please advice.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::;powers down the Tigress and sets about to find the problem::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Gets a response from the science team and begins plotting its course.::
Crenshaw (Nick Moline) says:
@COM: Bodine: Acknowledged Captain, Hold off on going after him until you get the results from the probe. If we've lost a starship, nothing you have available at Arcadia is going to fare as well. Keep us Posted.
CIV Nyira says:
::gives her father a look over then tugs on one side of the tunic to straighten it.:: Ramone: there you look great ::smiles warmly::
Crenshaw (Nick Moline) says:
@COM: Bodine: If you do find reason to believe he needs your assistance, you have permission to go in after him, but if you can't find any sign of him, hold off for backup.
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Crenshaw: Understood Admiral.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Finishes plotting the course and once he has confirmation the probe is loaded he launches the probe.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::closes the channels and leans back in his chair thinking::
*CTO*: Have you launched the probe yet what is the ETA?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
*CO*: Probe was just launched. ETA is… ::Pauses as he glances down at his console.:: 20 minutes to the nebula.
Ramone Santiago says:
::grins:: CIV: Thanks. Shall we?
CIV Nyira says:
Ramone: yes we shall. ::offers her arm to her father as they head to the turbo lift::
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CTO*: Very good let me know when you have something. I think I have an appointment here in a few minutes will check in with you and Doole after I finish up my meeting. We have a Go from Starfleet but only if the results from the probe support such an action.
Ramone Santiago says:
::takes his daughter's arm and heads to the Turbolift::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::finds a melted glob that used to be an EPS relay, sighs, and takes it out:: Shuttle Bay Crewman: I need a RTS 9.8 ETA Relay and I need it 10 minutes ago ::hands him the melted glob::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
*CO*: Understood captain, I'm on my way to meet up with Doole, will make sure I'm back up in OPS to check the probes readings. ::Sets the computer to alert him once the probe begins its final approach to the nebula.::
Ramone Santiago says:
::arrives in operations with Nyira and heads to the Ready Room and chimes the doorbell::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Door: Enter.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::lies on his back and crawls back under the panel:: Tigress: Let's not find anything else wrong with you.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods to the CIV and Ramone as he passes them on the way to the lift.::
Shuttle Bay Crewman (Bruce Oriani) says:
::returning with the relay:: Doole: Here you are Lieutenant.
CIV Nyira says:
::enters the Ready Room with her father::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::sits up sudden and smacks his forehead on the underside of the console:: Crewman: What did you just call me?

Shuttle Bay Crewman (Bruce Oriani) says:
FCO: Lieutenant
CO Capt Bodine says:
::stands to Greet Nyira and Mr. Santiago extending his hand first to Nyira's father:: Ramone: You must be Nyira's father.
Ramone Santiago says:
::stands behind his daughter, wanting to be sure it is clear this is his show::
CO: Hello Captain, Ramone Santiago, Commander Retired.
FCO Ens Doole says:
Crewman: I suggest you check the pips on the collar son. I'm an Ensign, not a Lieutenant...not yet anyways
Crewman: I will be one when the Captain decides I've earned it.. but before that...it's ENSIGN.. as in ONE PIP
CO Capt Bodine says:
CIV: I saw you wanted me meet with me? What can I help you with? Yes I saw something briefly about that when I was advised you might come aboard. Glad to have you Commander.
Ramone Santiago says:
CO: Call me Ramone, please, I haven't been in a uniform in quite some time, I'm fairly sure my old uniform wouldn't fit anymore ::grins::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Steps off the lift and steps into the shuttle bay glancing around looking for the FCO::
CO Capt Bodine says:
ALL: Please sit ::indicating the only 2 chairs in front of his desk:: Would you like coffee or some tea perhaps?
FCO Ens Doole says:
::takes the relay from the crewman and goes back under the panel and installs the relay:: Self: Lieutenant indeed.
CIV Nyira says:
CO: Yes I'm here about the open space on the promenade where the tea room was.
Ramone Santiago says:
::pulls back a chair for Nyira::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CIV: The tea room is gone, I can't believe I didn't notice ...
FCO Ens Doole says:
::climbs out from under the panel, and replaces the cover:: Tigress: Now let's do this right. No more funny business from you young lady. ::repowers up the Tigress::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Spots the Tigress and pokes his head inside.:: FCO: How goes the prep Ensign?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CIV: So.. this is about the space then? Are you interested in it?
CIV Nyira says:
CO: Yes sir I have a lot of ideas for a wonderful establishment for entertainment
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: She blew a gasket a minute ago due to a melted glob that used to be a ETA relay that should have been fixed after the time travel mission and wasn't
CO Capt Bodine says:
CIV: I thought you worked at Imperial Fezz? Well if you have a written proposal leave it with me and I will look through it and check on the proper procedures in a change of ownership of the space.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: I got that fixed, and now we shall see if she behaves herself.
CTO: Why are you down here anyways?
ACTION: This time the Tigress powers up without growling
CIV Nyira says:
::she hands him a Padd with the proposal on it:: CO: everything should be on here sir
