Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: None
Previously on Arcadia:
After entering the nebula the U.S.S. Anderson got to the center of the nebula and then there was a shockwave. Time inside the nebula has now completely stopped.
Sensors show the Anderson is frozen in time at the moment of a hull breach on the bridge
CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain’s Log Stardate: 11403.03: We are sitting on the edge of the Nebula in the Runabout Tigress now at full stop unable to penetrate the nebula’s outer barrier. It would seem that time inside the Nebula has literally come to a halt so surely that matter itself will not move. The last readings of the Anderson’s progress also seemed quite dire as all indications were that a hull breach may have occurred near the bridge. We can only hope the Officers and Captain Yan are as of yet still alive while we try to find a way to save them.

Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" - Episode VIII
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Confirm we are at all stop, how far are we from the known edge of the Nebula?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: confirmed and we are 5 kilometers from the outer edge
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Are there any other ships reported to have entered the Nebula? Are there any indications the Anderson got into a fire fight with enough party?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::A sigh of relief:: CO: Sir, Sir! I think if I oscillate the tetyron variance 54.6 megahertz I can modify the temporal shielding such that the Tigress can enter the nebula without slipping into the time of the nebula
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Very good hold station for now ::looks to his Chief engineer::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: I'd have to loop the vereton harmonic though... but it should work...
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Holding
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: We can test a torpedo say if you'd like Sir..
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Our time may be short we have no idea how long time ill remain inert in there I need a way to get the Anderson senior staff off that bridge!
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Keeping a close watch on the his sensors he glances in response to the captain.:: CO: I don't have any reports or indications of another vessel enter the area. As for the a fire fight, ::Taps a few commands trying to get a closer scan of the bridge area of the Anderson.:: Trying to determine possible causes of the breach.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: We don't have time for caution damn the torpedo and full speed ahead. Meaning modify the shields sounds good try it.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Aye Sir ::Runs the numbers in her head again to check as her fingers fly over the console::
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Prepare to enter the nebula at one quarter impulse as soon as the chief and CTO confirm the shield modification.

CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Modifications online
::Monitors the readouts.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: One quarter impulse speed at your command
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Checks sensors to see if there's a clue to the explosion.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Keep those shields monitored they fall and we won't be any help to the Anderson.
FCO: Proceed nice and steady.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Monitors engineering systems and sensors::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: I'm picking up indications of an explosion outside of the Anderson that appears to be the source or cause of the shockwave and the breach. It was maybe 4 kilometers above the Anderson. 

FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Proceeding ::moves the ship forward at 1/4 impulse
ACTION: With the shield modifications online, the Tigress enters the nebula. It appears to be working because the Anderson is still frozen in time
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Brings up shelf controls keeping a close watch on the power levels.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: If this shield thing works I am putting you in for a commendation. In the mean time I need another small miracle. Make the Transporters work in there too. Remember we don' need to say the whole crew just the bridge staff.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Aye Sir.
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Try to move us within transporter range of the Anderson.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: transporter range. Aye
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Scan for threats ... I still want to know what happened I don't want it to happen to us as well.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::attempts to comply with the CO's request::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Looks at the transports muttering to herself. "If I increase the nadion field...modify the subspace matrix..."::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Directs sensors toward the source location of the explosion hoping that now that they were inside the field hoping to track a cause.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Continues to mutter random phrases that makes sense to her::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::taps his command console and attempts to reach the probes outside the Nebula to see if they are still in sync with normal time or not:: Self: I wonder if we can communicate outside the Nebula with the shields like this...
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Transporters online and strengthened, we can beam in but I'll need to modify armbands to protect the away team from the time change...
::Begins to work on that immediately.::
CO: How many are on the bridge?
::Looks up from her work.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: You mean to say we have to beam to the ship? We can't just beam the Bridge crew here first?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Fortunately we should be immune I just need a few for their bridge crew device wise, no sir not so long as they are frozen too...
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: I'm picking up debris near the flashpoint, trying to determine what it was.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Continues to work swiftly using replicator and parts.::
::making a device on the fly like some people knit::
::Pauses::CO: We try to bring them back now and I don't think they would survive the transport Sir.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Okay help me wrap my head around this. If we go to the Anderson unaffected won't we die? Or will everything just be still around us? I assume we will need EV suits for air?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::She says somberly before bending again to her task::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Okay okay ...
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Not needed unless time flow changes that could be a problem ::puts 4th device aside as she talks::

CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Park the ship and go to the back and see how many EV suits are on storage locker A.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: If transporters are working beaming a piece of the debris over might help me identify what device cause the explosion.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Any identification on ... ::stops mid thought:: Do it
FCO: Oh yeah and see if there is a portable shield generator as well.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Puts 6th device aside:: CO: Do we have a portable force field generator on board? could block off the explosion...::she says absently as she works::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: ::brings the ship to full stop and "parks it":: Full stop. ::goes in the back to the storage lockers::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Only half listening to the group::
CO: Devices ready just in case Sir. Just put these on the bridge crew and we can transport them
FCO Ens Doole says:
::looking through the lockers for EV suits and a portable shield generator
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Brings up transporter controls as the CEO is busy tinkering he pauses as the shuttle gets nearer and the sensor readings become clearer growling as he sees the data come in.:: CO: I might not need to, sensor readings have cleared up now that we are closer, the debris is Romulan.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*CO*: There is a portable shield generator and only 2 EV Suits
*CO*: Remind me to horsewhip the supply personnel for this when we get back, only 2 suits.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::takes a deep breath:: ALL: Okay here is the plan. I need you to go Takor.. It has to be you to make sure the portal shield and arm bands work. You will take Ensign Doole with you. He can be handing if you need heavy lifting and a strong arm. Ensign Cadarn and I will remain here in over watch. Go get suited up and hurry there is little time. Those are my orders. Don't take any unnecessary risks.
*FCO*: I hope you can manage to fit in one you and Takor are going. Get suited up.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Aye Sir ::Grabs a storage case and puts the devices in it and slings over her shoulder then heads back to the storage area where the suits are to get suited up.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Now that he had a source he began comparing the debris to known Romulan designs, trying to determine exactly what it had been.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Puts suit on::FCO: You ready for this?
CO Capt Bodine says:
::comes to the back of the ship:: CEO/FCO: be careful. Stay in contact. Good luck.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Puts tool kit with the devices on the outside of the suit over a shoulder:: CO: Thank You Sir.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::While the computer analysis the debris data he widens his scanning area looking for any indications of Romulan clocking fields.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::looks at suit:: CEO: He's GOT to be kidding. ::somehow gets into the suit and can actually move despite it being a bit snug::

CO Capt Bodine says:
::moves to the front again:: CTO: Transport them as far away from the breach as possible but still on the bridge. O would suggest the observation lounge but if they can't move any doors it might be an issue.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: Ready for transport?
FCO: Can you get the portable generator?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods to the captain and targets transport to right next to the door to the observation lounge but still on the bridge.:: CO: Not sure they'll have much luck opening the door with time frozen will transport at the other end of the bridge though. I'm ready to transport as soon as they are ready.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: I hope she has them setup the shield first before attempting to rescue anyone but as I am not going I leave the decision to her as for what is her priorities as such things tend to change when you are in the thick of it.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::not amused with the suit:: CEO: Let's saddle this horse and ride this rodeo. ::picks up portable shield generator::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Very true captain. ::Glances back down at his console as it beeps at him.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
*CO*: We're ready sir. Beam us over at you’re ready.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::takes a seat again:: CTO: Go something? Beam them over if it's safe unless you have something more urgent that changes the situation?
ACTION: The CEO and FCO beam to the bridge of the Anderson. The crack of the hull breach is immediately to the left of the view screen, they materialize next to the aft science console, and everything on the bridge is frozen. Based on facial expressions of the bridge crew, only one of them has even noticed the breech yet, and they are just beginning to move in response before they were frozen. 

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Nods then they are transported::FCO: Let's get the generator set up before poke the time shift any more than we are...
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Transports the two over to the bridge of the Anderson:: <Move up one.>
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: Let’s set it up there..::Gestures to the best spot for the portable generator.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Takor: comm check. How is it over there?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Yeah I've got a match on the debris, it the remains of a Romulan Scout ship, though parts of it seem out of phase. From what I can discern, based on the fact that a chunk of the scout ship is lodge in the Andersons bridge, the scout ship crashed into the Anderson causing the breach prior to blowing up.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@*CO*: Only one has notice a problem, everything still frozen Sir.

FCO Ens Doole says:
@CEO: Agreed. ::begins setting up shield generator. COM: This is gonna take a miracle to fix, but lucky for this crew, we specialize in miracles.
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CEO*: We still do not know how much time we have get the shield up around the breach first, then worry about the crew.
CTO: What the scout ship simply didn't see that there was a big ship in their way?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@::Gives a nod to the FCO as she checks the generator and gets it going::*CO*: Working on it Sir ::, thinks to self, "backseat engineers..."::
@*CO*: Generator online moving to rescue the bridge crew now::gives FCO 4 of the devices to help beam the bridge crew off faster::
FCO Ens Doole says:
@::chuckles at the CEO's mood::

ACTION: The shield generator fires off a force field at the small crack in the hull, the moment it surrounds the breech, it seems to trigger a time change and everything on the bridge starts moving, the breach opens up, spewing debris at the force field, everyone on the bridge ducks and then looks around in shock and confusion, wondering how the force field got there, not to mention the 2 Starfleet officers in EV Suits
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Mutters something about Romulans having the brains of a tribble.:: CO: Not sure, it’s possible their sensors were affected by the dilation field or that by travelling in between the different pockets it had issues tracking the Anderson if it saw it at all.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: Well never mind then...::a little disappointed they won't get to use the devices, they were really well made::
Capt Yan says:
@CEO: How the hell did you get here?! ::he pauses a moment:: Thanks by the way
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Yan: Transporter Sir, we came to assist. Welcome Sir.
ACTION: time resumes all around the Anderson, and the still debris flies around, some of it narrowly missing the Tigress
CO Capt Bodine says:
::detects the breach:: CTO: Holy cow!
COM: Anderson: Come in Away team what is your status!
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@::Moves to check ship sensors::*CO*: Sir time has resumed normally here....
ACTION: The Anderson's Emergency force fields take effect
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@*CO*: Force Fields are holding
FCO Ens Doole says:
::removes helmet:: @CO_Yan: With all due respect, we're the ones that just saved your collective asses
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CEO*: Good to hear your voice you had me worried there. Is the situation on the Anderson stable? Can you show them how to modify their shields as to not be impacted by the time changes? If you don't we may fall out of sync.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: Ensign! ::In the tone of voice that clearly said we do not tell CO's that we saved their collective asses...even if we did.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Proximity alarms flash on his screen as chunks of debris fly past the Tigress though luckily nothing hit her.::
Capt Yan says:
@CEO: You had to bring him along didn't you....
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@*CO*: Working with their engineers now Sir. ::Proceeds to do so::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: You know that time freeze sure was handy .. it’s almost as if someone made it happen to save that crew ...
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@::Sheepishly as she works with the engineers::Yan: Orders...
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Considers the comment.:: CO: It does seem a bit lucky it stayed up until the force field was in place.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@::Shrugs at FCO from behind Yan::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Exactly ...
CEO LtJg Takor says:
@::She was inclined to agree with the FCO but one didn't say so...::
Capt Yan says:
@FCO: Well we are grateful for you "saving our asses", but you'll excuse me for being startled when 2 people in EV suits appear on my bridge unannounced
@FCO: Especially when my hull explodes at the same time
FCO Ens Doole says:
@CO: I realize that sir. With ya'll being frozen in time like ya'll was, it wasn't like you coulda answered if we did knock
