Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: None
Previously on Arcadia:
Trapped in an alternate timeline where Starfleet does not control Arcadia Station, Officer’s Takor, Doole, and Cadarn work to figure out where things went sideways.
They have been able to determine that 10 years ago, Lieutenant John Bodine (whom they know as Captain John Bodine) went to the bridge of the U.S.S. Scorpius earlier than he did in their original timeline, and as a result, his wife (who previously died in the original timeline) survived in this timeline.
They don’t know yet why this happened, but it is a safe bet that it has something to do with that beam of light that Pesky Romulan was mucking around with
They had just pretty much decided the time had come to seek out the Lieutenant John Bodine (retired) from this timeline to ask him, when a Risan ship approached the station.
As it did, the Tigress’ computer received an outside communication and started locking people out as a data link with the Risan ship was established and computer control was being rerouted through the comm link.
This seems to be a somewhat obvious act of aggression and Regent Nyira Santiago, leader of the civilians who went Pirate and took over Arcadia Station, is preparing for potential hostile incursion.
Regent Nyira says:
Regent's Log: Someone is trying to Highjack the Tigress and possibly the station I have all hands ready to combat this unknown foe.

Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" -- Episode XVII
Regent Nyira says:
::runs through the corridors heading to her command station::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Following close behind the regent following her to the command station to take over the tactical station.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::works to cut the connection::
Regent Nyira says:
::as she gets to her station she orders the nearest person to prepare to open a com channel to the Risan Ship::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::deciding time is of the essence, drops to under the console and attempts to physically disconnect the connection between the subspace and comm relay but in such a way as she can reconnect at will.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Moves quickly to the tactical station, doing his best not to shove the man standing there too hard out of the way, he brings up the tactical controls and gets a lock on the incoming shuttle.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::trying to lock out flight controls to his command so that he alone controls mobility of the Tigress::
Regent Nyira says:
CTO: Bring up the Station's shields.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Brings up shield control and raises shield.:: Regent: Shields up, Getting a target lock now.
John Bodine says:
@::at a terminal trying to remotely connecting to the Tigress computer::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::trying to counter the "Captain's" control as well::
Regent Nyira says:
::turns to the person she ordered to open the com channel:: Jane: Is that com open?
John Bodine says:
@::knows if he can gain a wireless link to the Tigress there is no reason his Command codes would not work::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Climbs out from the console, sees the remote attempt and muttering a curse works to counter by at attempt to chance the command code...::
ACTION: The CEO is able to sever the comm links
Regent Nyira says:
COM: Risan ship: This is Regent Nyira of the Arcadia Souvranty, state your purpose or prepare to be fired upon.
John Bodine says:
@::groans as he loses his connection to his own ships computer:: *Captain*: You have to get me inside they have cut remote access, can you beam me in somewhere?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: I got it, Ship Secure.
::Works at sensors to figure out just what the heck happened.::
Risan Captain (Nick Moline) says:
@Bodine: They have shields up, I can't beam you in anywhere, and you are not paying me enough to be fired upon, which they are threatening. You will either answer them or I'm turning around right now.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CEO: Well that's the comm links. Now let's lock him out of the rest of it.
CEO: If we can
Regent Nyira says:
COM: Risan Ship: Again state your purpose or we will fire on your ship.
John Bodine says:
COM: Arcadia Station: Regent: Greetings, This is Captain John Bodine Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. Tigress. I believe you are holding my ship. ::decides to hold the Command of Arcadia bit to himself for now.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: Working on it. I have to let the algorithm run its course...
FCO: Pulling the plug seems to have done it for now though....
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Looks up at hearing the comm, at least they wouldn't have to go looking for the captain.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CEO: Yea, but you remember how crafty the Captain can be
Regent Nyira says:
COM: Risan ship: Captain you say from what I know Mr. John Bodine never made it past Lieutenant.
John Bodine says:
COM: CTO: Hello Mister Cadarn: You going to lower the shields and let me in or do you actually plan on shooting me today?
COM:Nyira: You would be correct from a certain point of view. 

CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Glances to the regent when hearing the comm, but doesn't respond leaving it to the regent for now.::
Regent Nyira says:
COM: Risan ship: I will allow you Mr. Bodine to board the station but only you any funny business and we will fire.
COM: Risan Ship: you will beam to transporter room 2 and an armed escort will bring you to meet with me.
John Bodine says:
Com: Nyira: Princess this entire ordeal is funny business, but I promise to come unarmed. I only want to talk to my crew.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: All I know is it’s the Captains' Codes doesn't mean it’s the Captain, much as I might wish it were...::Works on changing the command codes but its damned difficult....::
Regent Nyira says:
COM: Risan Ship: You will address me as Regent and nothing else unless I tell you otherwise. ::looks vary annoyed at being called Princess.::

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Hopeful but not holding her breath the way things have gone lately, will figure problem until proven otherwise...::
FCO: Can you find out what is going on in Ops? ::Continues to work::
John Bodine says:
COM: Nyira: Regent, as you wish.
Regent Nyira says:
Jane: end transmission ::turns towards the CTO::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CEO: An intriguing notion. However if it is the "Captain", I'll be happier than a tornado in a trailer park, I tell you what.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Glances at the FCO:: FCO: Do you do that just to confuse me? ::She wondered aloud still working...::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Glances up at the regent as she turns toward him.:: Regent: Permission to meet Bodine in the transporter room?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Having no idea what he's talking about the Bajoran engineer continues her task::
Regent Nyira says:
CTO: I'd like you to join me in my office when your captain arrived.
John Bodine says:
@::heads to the transport pad::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::slight chuckle at the CEO's reaction:: *COM*: Regent, This is Ensign J.T. Doole on the Tigress. What's the deal with this Risan ship?
John Bodine says:
@::ready to be beamed over::
Regent Nyira says:
::sends two men to escort Mr. Bodine:: CTO: I'd rather you stayed with me.
*COM*: FCO: your Captain is beaming to the station I would like you and Miss Takor to come to my office
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Hears the comm, looks at the FCO in surprise::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods, having not really expecting her to have said yes.:: Regent: I understand regent, ::Gets a sudden urge to call her princess but bites his tongue, things were shaky enough at the moment.:: Ready to drop shields for transport. ::Turns back to the tactical station.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CEO: After you Lieutenant. This should be a more interesting outcome than a dog driving a tractor back home.
::follows the CEO off the Tigress::
ACTION: Bodine is beamed to Transporter room 2
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Convinced he's making up metaphors just to mess with her she heads out and locks the door behind them. They head to Nyira's office.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
Regent: Bodine has been beamed aboard.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::sees the look on her face:: CEO: True story. I'll tell you about it sometime.
John Bodine says:
::stands on the pad in transporter room 2 in civilian clothing::
Regent Nyira says:
CTO: ok let’s head to my office ::turns and heads towards her office::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: I suppose....::Still not entirely sure he's not pulling her leg.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods turning the station back over to the man he pushed out of the way earlier, then follows the regent into her office.::
John Bodine says:
::looks for the escort he was sure would be there soon if not already::
Regent Nyira says:
CTO: I do hope you’re not upset that I didn't let you meet your captain in the transporter room ::glances back at the CTO::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
Regent: Not at all, would have made the same decision in your shoes, but had to ask.
ACTION: Bodine is escorted towards the Regent’s office
John Bodine says:
::glances at the two security he does not recognize their uniforms they were twice as young as he was, but also probably inexperienced he thinks he could take them if he needed to, but would rather not have to::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Arrives at Regents office, sees the CTO and Regent, nodding.:: Regent/CTO: Is it true? Is it really the Captain?
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Shrugs.:: CEO: So he says.
Regent Nyira says:
CTO: Thanks for understanding it would be a Tactical mistake to send you.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods his agreement to the Regent.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CTO: Right looks like we have some questions to ask...
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO/CEO: We shall see
Regent Nyira says:
:: waits for Bodine to arrive::
ACTION: Bodine and the guards arrive
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Turns toward the door as he hears it open, not really sure what to expect.::
John Bodine says:
::as he wonders how long this little trip though the station will take he notes subtle changes, there is more color about the station as a whole and less monotone. It wasn't bad just not what he was used to::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Turns to face the people coming into the office::
Regent Nyira says:
Bodine: please have a seat Mr. Bodine we have a lot to talk about :: Nods to the guards to wait outside the door::
John Bodine says:
::goes through the door of the office:: Regent: Hello Nyira, love what you have done with the place. ::looks around::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::takes a defensive stance to protect the CEO,CTO, and the Regent if necessary::
John Bodine says:
Regent: That would be Captain Bodine. If we are to respect each other’s titles.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Crosses arms and looks intent.::
Regent Nyira says:
::glares at Bodine:: Bodine: You have not proven to me that you are a Captain and on this station we do not respect Starfleet authority.
John Bodine says:
Regent: I was in a fight with a Romulan, Ensign Cadarn was there, and then I woke up a few days ago on Risa with Anne, my wife. I eventually decided I should come here. When we got near I detected my Runabout.
Regent: Sure thing your worship. I see you have my crew here and they are not locked up. At any rate my command codes should work on the Tigress that is the only proof I have at the moment.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Glances at the FCO and CTO::Regent: His story matches with what we know... ::internally is very relieved even as a new set of questions fought to make themselves heard...::
John Bodine says:
CEO: I thought I saw Ensign Cadarn for a split second before I woke up on Risa but I can't be certain.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::bends down to whisper in the CEO's ear:: The command codes won't work. We locked him out of access to the Tigress.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Whispers::FCO: I know that but we do know they are his codes.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::tries to get an empathic read on Bodine::
Regent Nyira says:
::Glares again:: Bodine: as I said before you will address me as Regent. I am under the impression that in your timeline I respect you but so far I have seen nothing that would make me do so in this timeline ::stands with arms crossed::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::whispers:: CEO: You changed the command codes, so they are not gonna match.
John Bodine says:
Regent: In my timeline you were just trying to start a business not running the place. Doing quite well for yourself I must say.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
FCO: I wasn't able to finish before we got called...
John Bodine says:
Regent: Of I was in your position I would be skeptical too. Match my picture on the Tigress with my face now. They will match.
Regent Nyira says:
::calls the guards into the room:: Yann: Please escort Mr. Bodine to guest quarters and stay outside his room :: she pauses:: for his own safety of course.
