Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: None
Previously on Arcadia:
The senior staff, aboard the Runabout Tigress entered the nebula with some temporal shielding to protect it from changes in the flow of time.
After saving the Anderson's bridge crew from decompression, Time in the nebula was restored to normal.
Upon further investigation, the crew detected what appears to be a cloaked Romulan Scout Ship, and debris that came from it when a panel exploded.
So far the scout ship, which is still there (the damage made it where the crew can detect through its cloak), is not responding to attempts to communicate.
Captain Bodine has ordered a Tachyon burst to attempt to take the scout ship's cloak down.
Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" - Episode X
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::At the tactical station on the Tigress keeping a watch on the sensors readings from the scout ship.::
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
CTO: Shields at maximum CEO: Fire the pulse
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods tapping a few controls.:: CO: Shields up captain.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Firing ::Taps a few commands triggering the pulse
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Prepares weapons as well, just in case.::
ACTION: The pulse lights up the outline of a Romulan Scout Ship for a moment but then fades out again.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::ready to maneuver shuttle around any debris that comes their way should something go wrong::
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
All: Well it sorta worked.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Recommend refiring at a slightly higher setting
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Watches sensor readouts of the Romulan ship as it is outlined briefly.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: continuous pulse?
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
All: In the brief time it was lit up could you tell anything about the status of the ship?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Bends over her console to review the footage
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Looking over sensor readings now.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::trying to study the structure and damage::
CTO: Appears to just be the previously noted damage you seeing anything?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Shakes his head:: CEO: Nothing new just the hull damage, didn't get a read on any of their systems.
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
FCO: I would agree with your suggestion, but I want to give them another chance to respond to us first. CEO: Hail them again
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CEO: Me either, I couldn't get any internal. I could try for a continuous pulse keeping it bouncing a bit longer if that would help?
CO: Aye Sir ::Tries to hail them again:: CO: No answer Sir. 

CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Aye ::taps a few keys ::CO: Holding channel open.
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
CEO: Re-open the channel
COM: Romulan: This is Captain John Bodine of the Federation Runabout Tigress; obviously we know you are there and that you are damaged. We are prepared to render aid. Please respond or decloak. If you do not, we will try some stronger pulses to bring your cloak down under the assumption that your communications are down. If they are not, please respond.
CEO: Can you tell if they are receiving?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: No sir, channel appears normal but there's no way to not for sure it’s getting through...
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: I'm not picking up any transmission coming from the ship either.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: If you want I can maneuver us around to the side where the hull breach is
CO: Maybe give us a better picture as to what, if anything, is going on in there
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: It would help with damage assessment, maybe they can't answer...
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
FCO: Good Idea put us 10 kilometers from the breach. CEO: When we are in position, fire another pulse, a stronger one, right where we know that breech is.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Aye Sir, preparing another pulse::Works from her console. tapping, trying to see if she can extend the life of the pulse but even a little.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::brings the shuttle around and to the starboard side of the Romulan scout 10 km from the breach
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Narrows the sensors down for a more focused scan, now that they had a better idea of the ships location.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: New Pulse is prepared, we should get a better reading this time.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Fire the pulse
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Pulse Away ::fires the strengthened pulse::
ACTION: The Pulse is fired and it hits right where the missing paneling is, the whole Romulan ship lights up and then the cloak fails, revealing the Romulan Scout ship
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: well worked that time.
ACTION: The Romulan ship raises shields and fires on the Runabout
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Are they serious?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
All: Seriously? ::Shakes head, checking her systems:: CTO: Shields holding let me know if you need more power....
ACTION: The weapons (obviously damaged) glance harmlessly off the shields. The Anderson returns fire on the Romulans
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Mutters to himself.:: Bloody Romulans. ::Checks on the shields, then targets the scouts ships weapons.:: CO: Weapons are locked on and ready to fire.
CO Capt Bodine (Nick Moline) says:
FCO: Evasive Maneuvers, CTO: Return Fire
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Locks onto scouts weapons and fires.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Evasive Maneuver, Aye. ::initiates a Delta 6 maneuver::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Returning fire, targeting their weapons systems.
ACTION: The Runabout flips on its side and evades further weapons fire, the runabout's phasers join those of the Anderson in attacking the Scout Ship
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Had really hoped their engines would of been damaged more::
ACTION: The Romulan Ship barely moves, though sensors don't really show any reason WHY, their engines appear to be intact
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: What is the status of the Romulan ship are they disabled?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Unclear, everything still appears to be intact.
ACTION: The Romulan ship fires a disruptor blast at the Anderson, partially damaging its shields
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Continues to feel energy to the runabouts shield and weapons for the CTO
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Target their disrupters disable that ship please.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Definitely not disabled. ::Continues firing on the Romulan::
ACTION: The CTO connects a torpedo blast that knocks out the Romulan’s shields
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Their shields are down, Targeting weapons now. ::Uses phasers to try and disable the scouts weapons not wanting to create too large an explosion.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: How many life forms on that ship can we beam over there?
ACTION: The CTO and the Anderson easily take out the Romulan’s weapons
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Their weapons are down.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Checking Sir...2 life forms, there is some sort of temporal anomaly in the center of the ship preventing beaming to the center or forward areas of the ship
CO: We can get a clear signal near engineering through to beam over
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: You are with me. We are boarding that ship. Chief keep things in tact over here and Doole keep us in transporter range, let’s go.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: aye Cap
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Grins and nods to the captain as he stands and moves toward the transporter pad checking his weapons as he goes.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: You have command of the Tigress make sure the Anderson does not blow me up while we are over there.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Aye Sir, transporter coordinates locked and online
CO Capt Bodine says:
::secures a weapon and a tricorder from a nearby locker straightens his uniform and stands on the small transporter pad after Cadarn:: CEO: Energize.

ACTION: The CO and CTO beam into the main engineering section of the Romulan ship. Engineering is abandoned, but there are force fields in place preventing access to any of the consoles in the section.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: Please fill in the Anderson on what’s happening
::monitors transport::
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Anderson*: Captain Yun, this is Ensign Doole. Captain Bodine and Chief Cadarn have beamed on to the Romulan vessel, to try to figure out what the hell is going on. He requests you not blow him up while he's over there.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Scans the room, his phaser leveled searching for any threats, positions himself between the captain and the door leading to the rest of the ship.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::puts his weapon on stuns and heads forward:: CTO: Weapon on stun.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::monitoring the Captain and the CTO's life signs and keeping an eye on the transporter lock::
::Makes a mental note not to ask O'Doole to tell Yan something without more instruction::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: Aye captain. ::Checks his phaser setting then takes the lead.::
ACTION: the CO and CTO make their way into a large chamber. Normally there are 2 decks, but the two decks have been combined in this area into one large chamber. In the center of the room, there's a column of pulsating light. Standing inside the column of light is a tall figure that is hard to make out from the light, but is clearly wearing Romulan armor.
