Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: 6 hours
Previously on Arcadia
While confronting a Romulan in a chamber that plays with the laws of time and space, Captain Bodine was trapped in a beam of light with electricity coursing through his body
Despite his best efforts, Ensign Cadarn could not free him before he was vaporized. Moments later the Romulan ship’s core breached and the ship was destroyed.
Immediately afterward, a shockwave emitted from the scout ship, and when it hit the U.S.S. Anderson, its shields collapsed and the Anderson vanished without a trace.
When the shockwave hit the Tigress, the shields held, but warp drive, long range sensors and long range communications were knocked offline
As much of the damage is external to the runabout, Lieutenant Takor is unable to fix the ship without docking back at Arcadia, so the Tigress has been limping back to Arcadia for the past several hours.
Analysis of the sensor logs shows that the Anderson’s shields buckled and failed when the shockwave hit, and as soon as the shockwave hit the hull of the ship, the ship simply vanished. There was no sign of any debris; it was like the ship wasn’t there at all
The Runabout is approaching short range communications range of the station.
Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" - Episode XII
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Opens a channel to the station requesting permission to dock and to speak to the Senior Officer on board::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Sitting at his station on the runabout, lost in thought as he replays what happened on the scout ship over and over in his mind.::
INFO: The request to dock comes back as denied, text only

ACTION: Arcadia’s Shields rise
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Thinks to self, "What the..." stops the craft a safe distance away and repeats a general hail.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Frowns as he sees a change on his short range sensors.:: CEO: They are raising shields.
Regent Nyira says:
@COM:Tigress: Federation Runabout you are in violation of Arcadia Sovereign airspace. Turn back or be destroyed.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
COM: Arcadia: We are not approaching and have been long away on a science mission. Am I to understand Federation Vessels are no longer welcome here? ::types to CTO "Timeline goof, oh goodie, keep an eye on sensors we may need to leave suddenly.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Types to CTO: Well timeline goof or a mutiny while we were gone....::
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: Oh Please do you think I’m fool enough to believe you were on a science mission for 6 months and not know of the liberation of Arcadia from the Federation.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Groans as he reads the text, he had been hoping they were done with all temporal dynamics, having always done poorly in those classes. But watches his sensors closely typing a response to the CEO "Not that we can run fast with warp offline."::
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: Besides I remember removing you from the station myself Lieutenant Takor.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Glances over at the view screen, thinking the woman on the screen looked familiar but he wasn't sure, he hadn't had as much time as he would have liked to review all the personnel files of station personnel.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Really throwing her off that her friend is so hostile, wonders how far back the goof goes:: COM: Are we at war currently?
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: Where is Captain Randolph hiding with his ship? You can't expect me to believe that Starfleet would only send this puny runabout to retake Arcadia. I wasn't voted leader of the Arcadia Sovereignty because of my sexual appeal.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Thinking fast hating to ask stupid questions but trying to glean more information, mentally blinks when Nyira actually provides more information::
COM: Ma'am I don't know a Captain Randolph. If I did and we were here to retake the station I would hardly announce myself would I? ::taps to CTO to look up a Captain Randolph
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: You think I don't know a distraction when I see one.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Gets the request and brings up the Starfleet database searching for any Captain Randolph, grumbling when he sees the results, of course it wouldn't be that easy. Sends a text to the CEO "6 Captain Randolph in the records.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Rubs eyes:: COM: Arcadia: Yes because an engineer talking is really the best Starfleet could come up with. Please think this through Ma'am...::Texts to CTO: thanks, narrow by those with combat experience maybe we'll see what she's so concerned about. I wish our computers would update, I have no idea where things went wrong...::
::Wishes she dared to try to fix something but figuring talking and trying to quietly work with the CTO was the best she was going to get just now...::
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: If you are not here to retake the station then why are you here?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Brings up the bios for the 6 Randolph’s they have in their database and begins comparing their military background and experience as well as what commands they had prior to the timeline shift.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
COM: Arcadia: An accident stranded us here; we headed for the nearest port. That's the true. I'm an engineer not a special forces operative, you know that...." ::Least she hoped the other did::
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: What I remember about you ... ::turns to show the right side of her face and the large scar across her cheek:: Is the damage your traps inflicted when we liberated the station.
Computer (Nick Moline) says:
CEO/CTO: Warning, power systems failing, life support failure in 15 minutes
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::flinches mentally says "ouch, well that's about right...":: COM: We just want to dock and repair. I'm sorry for the injuries but the accident caused memory loss I don't remember why the station needed to be liberated...::spinning bs off the top of her head...::
::Text to CTO, are their weapons hot? Can you tell without tipping them off?::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Glances up at the CEO wondering if his bluff would work, while at the same time wondering where his other self in this timeline is, before turning his attention back to his console.::
::Texts the CEO: Weapons are hot and locked, also scanning the area, apparently looking for other ships.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Text to CTO, if it looks like they are going to fire do your best until then hold the stare.::
Regent Nyira says:
@::turns to talk to someone who hands her a pad:: COM: Tigress: Fine I see your runabout is on its last legs you can dock but know this we are well prepared to maintain control of Arcadia.

CEO LtJg Takor says:
COM: I don't doubt it Ma'am. Thank You.
Regent Nyira says:
@COM: Tigress: You are clear to dock at runabout pad 2. If you attempt to go anywhere else you will be destroyed. When you disembark the runabout you better be unarmed for your own safety
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Finds he has mixed feelings about their course of action though knowing they don't have any other choice, he just didn't like turning himself over to an enemy.::
CIV Nyira says:
@::closes the channel::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
COM: I Understand. Moving to dock::After comm closes, breathe whooshes out::CTO: I can't believe that worked.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CEO: Let’s just hope they don't lock us up and leave us to rot.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: ok take over piloting I'm securing the computer, it'll self-wipe if anyone but you, the CTO or me try to access it. For the best until we figure out what the hell happened. Also anything on sensors? ::Taps keys::

ACTION: The FCO flies the Runabout towards Runabout Pad 2
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CEO: Still nothing on the sensors but the station, long range sensors are still down there so can't see far.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CTO: We'll need to get back to that area of space to get back possibly, remember we say as little as possible.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods in understanding to the CEO.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Nods back glad the others get the point, they can't go around tossing time travel terms about. Finishes securing the computer. Hopes they can learn more when they arrive.::
ACTION: The Tigress docks, not a moment too soon as much longer and vital systems like life support would have failed
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Watches as FCO secures from flight::CTO: Well lets go greet our hosts....::stands::
Regent Nyira says:
::stands waiting at runabout pad 2 with 3 armed men::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Reluctantly pulls the phaser from its holster and sets it into one of the storage lockers as the begins to land but stops again pulling a mek'leth from a holster at the small of his back and stores it was well.::
::Glances at the CEO knowing she's right and leans down pulling two more small knives from his boots and another two from his sleeves storing them all, before moving to follow Takor out of the runabout.:: 

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Nods at CTO knowingly::CTO: They would of found them anyway::Puts a pocket phaser and a tool kit away then heads for the hatch::
::Orders FCO to stay in the shuttle just in case then when CTO is behind her opens the door careful to keep her hands in sight::
Regent Nyira says:
CTO: You better send out your other crewmate as well you are all going to the brig while my people inspect your runabout.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Like a kid in trouble Takor mind flashes to the interior of the runabout hoping they had time to cover their bases before they landed.::Regent: Of Course...::Calls the FCO and waits until he is standing near them...::
ACTION: Once the FCO leaves, the security detail escorts the 3 officers to the brig
