Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: 2 hours
Previously on Arcadia:
The U.S.S. Anderson did not report in for its scheduled check in with Starfleet.
Arcadia has launched a warp probe towards the nebula in an attempt to find out what happened. They are also prepping the Tigress (Captain Bodine's stealth runabout) in case they need to go in after the Anderson.
Meanwhile Nyira Santiago has met with the Captain to get approval to run an establishment on the Promenade, and the purchase of the old Strawberry Tea Room is pending escrow.
The telemetry from the warp probe is due to come in shortly.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain's Log Stardate 11401.13 I had a chance to meet with the Santiago's I am inclined to grant their request for the old tea room but I want Engineering to make sure it is up to code first.
Right now though we need to check on the status of our Probe into Regulus so we can figure out what do next.

Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" - Episode VI
CO Capt Bodine says:
::returns to Operations from his ready room a cup of coffee in his hands he looks around to see if Ensign Cadarn is there yet::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::In OPS at his console keeping a watch on the probe telemetry waiting for the data to come in from the probe.::
ACTION: As the Probe enters the nebula, communications with the probe cease immediately, seconds later however long range sensors show the Anderson exit the nebula
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Walks to Nyira's new shop to inspect it carrying a tricorder.::
::Checks her safety equipment and adjusts helmet before entering the shop.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Looks up as the data comes across his console.:: CO: We lost comms with the probe just as it entered the nebula,, ::Frowns and looks down at his console as it beeps again.:: Picking up the Anderson now
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Starts to make her way carefully through the shop, scanning with the Tricorder::
::Pleased that Nyira is getting to open the shop, she is careful to make sure she finds the slightest thing that could be a problem so it can be taken care of.::
CIV Nyira says:
::in her quarters with her father going over blueprints of what she hopes to be her own establishment::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Really, wasn't that one of our best probes? Maybe the Nebula is locking all communications and that is why the Anderson failed to report in on schedule. Do you think or rather was there any indication as the probe got close what might cause the failure?
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Arcadia: Captain Yan to Captain Bodine, calling for my regularly scheduled check-in. How's it going Captain?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Opens his mouth to respond to the captain when the comm console lights up, hitting a few buttons to put it over the main speakers before looking to Bodine.::
Capt Yan says:
ACTION: The console in Nyira's quarters beeps to indicate an incoming message from the Station's Civilian Commerce Authority
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Carefully steps over a broke table. Pausing here and there to make notes on a PADD that she keeps pulling from a pocket.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: What is up?
CIV Nyira says:
::goes to the console to check the message::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Incoming comm from the Anderson, putting on speakers now. ::Pushes a button to repeat the Anderson's message::

Commissioner Rea (Nick Moine) says:
::appears on Nyira's console:: Nyira: Miss Santiago?
CIV Nyira says:
*Commissioner Rea*: Yes I am Miss Santiago.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Checks behind the bar finds a sealed container that, upon a scan, seems to have aged whiskey in it. Since its fair game, puts the flask in a pocket. Continues checking.::
Rea (Nick Moline) says:
*Nyira*: I'm Rea of Arcadia's Civilian Commerce Authority. I'm calling to let you know that your small business loan application has been approved and you close escrow tomorrow morning. Captain Bodine has approved your request to run an establishment on the promenade. Congratulations!
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Yan: Hello Captain we were starting to get worried. We sent a probe in after you and lost contact.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Checks the back rooms, notes oddly shaped store rooms. Makes notes on a few minor changes that would help improve the space.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Keeps a watch sensors, directing them around the Anderson, they were late in reporting in no telling what the cause may have been.::
CIV Nyira says:
*Commissioner Rea*: thank you so much. ::smiles:: Is there anything else you need from me ma'am?
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Bodine: Worried? My scheduled check in wasn't set for another 4 hours, I just got bored in there over the last 3 hours and thought I'd check in early. There's really nothing interesting in there. The last 3 hours since I entered the nebula have shown nothing out of the ordinary. Why were you getting worried?
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Yan: Really, that is interesting because you are in fact 3 days overdue. ::glances at his tactical officer::
Rea (Nick Moline) says:
*Nyira*: Well you need to come to my office to put your thumb print on the final paperwork. And whenever you have a few hours you'll need to do a walk through with me of the premises before I can transfer door codes to you.
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Bodine: What do you mean I'm 3 days overdue, I just talked to you 5 hours ago shortly before arriving at the nebula.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Nearly finished continues with the check, stepping around what debris there is. Missteps and slips on a broken chair leg.::Self: Damn it...::hits the ground.::
::Does a self-check, the gear protected her. Gets up slowly, rubbing her tailbone...::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Shakes his head slightly at the captain not knowing what to say.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::lifts his eyebrows:: COM: Yan: That just simply is not the case it has been closer to 72 hours Captain. You sure you are alright then you and your crew?
Capt Yan says:
@OPS: Lieutenant Jeffries, sync up with the nearest Starfleet beacon, is there a de-sync in our internal chronometer.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Mutters curses in Bajoran::
::Sore but unhurt she finishes the check and makes the final notes in her report.::
Rea (Nick Moline) says:
*Nyira*: If you are free now I can bring the PADD with me and you can sign there at your new shop.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Glances around then kicks the offending chair leg across the room, makes a rude gesture at it and leaves the shop.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Makes a few changes to the sensor area setup looking for any signs of a temporal distortion.::
CIV Nyira says:
*Commissioner Rea*: That sounds great I will meet you there. Thank you again.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::overhears the Captain:: COM: Yan: I would think your bodies would be aware you were missing several days of sleep never mind the computer. And you feel alright do you?
OPS Jeffries (Nick Moline) says:
@Yan: Confirmed Captain, the beacon shows we've been gone for 3 days.
Capt Yan says:
@Jeffries: Impossible! I mean it was a boring 3 hours, but it certainly wasn't 3 days.
@COM: Bodine: Felt like 5 hours
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Turns and locks the shop door putting a 'caution' sticker on the front because of the debris::
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Yan: How long exactly have you been in the nebula according to your recollection on the computers?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
*OPS*: Engineering to Ops is there any news as to the Anderson's engineering needs? ::She asks on her way to the engineering equipment room to change. Even as she tapped on the PADD sending Nyira her final recommendations for code and basic improvements::
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Bodine: I told you, we were in there for 3 hours and 15 minutes according to our ship's clock. We were supposed to stay in another hour and 45 minutes but there's literally nothing in there, so we exited early to call you.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::turns to Cadarn:: CTO: What do you think?
Rea (Nick Moline) says:
*Nyira*: Look forward to it. See you there.
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Bodine: I think perhaps I should head back to Arcadia and have your engineers look over the Anderson to see if there are signs of temporal displacement.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: I'm looking for any signs of a temporal distortion, considering the history or future of the nebula it seems the most likely cause, but was never good with temporal mechanics.
OPS Lorin (Michael Johnson) says:
*CEO*: Captain Bodine is in contact with the Anderson now. They just came out of the nebula they seem to have lost track of "time" somehow, Literally.
CIV Nyira says:
::closes the communication and turns smiling at her father who is still sitting looking over the blueprints:: Ramone: Will you come with me?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Arrives at the changing room and puts the safety gear away after checking them, tries to unrumple her uniform, gives up and changes, muttering that they could transport people to planets but not make safety gear that didn't rumple ones uniform::
*OPS*: I see I'm on my way to Ops, any reason why? ::She asks curiously::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: The probe might be able to tell us more, do we risk asking the Anderson go get it?
Ramone (Barbara Moline) says:
CIV: Of course I will ::he smiles back at her::
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Yan: Captain, Did you happen to see your probe pass you as you exited the nebula?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::finishes changing and makes her way to ops.::
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Bodine: Hmm, no, let me double check. Jeffries: Lieutenant? Double check the sensor logs, did we see a probe?
OPS Jeffries (Nick Moline) says:
@Yan: Checking sir ::taps on the console:: There was a sign of a federation hull signature for just a second right as we exited the nebula, but it was traveling really fast, like Warp 9.999, and as soon as we cleared the nebula it was gone from sensors.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Shakes his head.:: CO: It’s not worth the risk sir, not until we know more.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Arrives in ops and takes her station:: OPS: Does all their equipment check?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Try sending a return command to the probe adjusts the subspace band and slow it down as if the command should take the hours multiplied by the time difference the Anderson experienced and send the message. See if it comes out on its own the Anderson can pick it up for us.
::frowns:: COM: Yan: We should would like that probe data, but my officers tell me it is not worth the risk of sending you in after it. Not that I could order you to take such a risk anyway. We are trying to send a return command to the probe though. Maybe it will come out on its own.
CTO: Hand over the command and control codes of the probe to the Anderson. So if they get a chance they can pick it up.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: CO: Time dilatation you think? Sending the commands now. ::Sends the codes to the probe.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Maybe.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Observes what’s happening and checks sensors logs to get filled in.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: If the commands were successful how long should it take the probe to emerge?

CTO Ens Cadarn says:
COMM: Anderson: OPS: Sending you our command and control codes for our probe now in case it makes it out while you are there. ::Taps a few commands and sends the information.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Yan: You should stick with your original plan and return to Arcadia so our two crews can look over what you have gathered.
COM: Yan: I suggest your entire crew is cleared by medical as well.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Assuming that the communication signal isn't deflected, degraded, or blocked by the field my guess would be 8 hours if the dilatation is 24/1 as the Andersons missing time suggests.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: We'll want to go over his ships systems with his engineering teams as well...
Capt Yan says:
@COM: Bodine: Agreed. I'm setting a course back to Arcadia now. I'll transmit all our data we collected in the nebula in advance of arrival and I'll have my crews begin diagnostics on all ship systems, and have sickbay run examinations on the crew. We need to know what's going on in there before we think about going back in.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::his head snaps around toward the CEO suddenly:: CEO: Hello Chief, when did you get here? Nervermind don't answer that. Sounds good though.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::blinks at CO and shrugs apologetically::
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Yan: Agreed Captain, glad you are okay we were about to send in the Calvary, meaning me and a couple officers in a Runabout .. Anyway see you when you arrive.
