Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: 4 hours
Previously on Arcadia
Trapped in an alternate timeline where Starfleet doesn’t run Arcadia Station, Takor, Doole and Cadarn have been trying to figure out just what happened to history.
In this timeline, John Bodine resigned from Starfleet as a Lieutenant, never making Captain, never even serving on Arcadia, let alone becoming CO
Also different in this timeline, Bodine’s wife never died (although is daughter still did) in the Gorn encounter on the Scorpius.
John Bodine (Lieutenant Retired) has come to the station aboard a Risan craft claiming to be Captain Bodine and wanting to reclaim his runabout.
Regent Nyira Santiago (who is in command of the Arcadia Sovereignty as the civilian run Arcadia call themselves) has taken Bodine into custody while she and Lieutenant Takor (whom she has decided to trust) try to ascertain if this Bodine is really from Takor’s timeline or not.
Regent Nyira says:
Regent Log: I need to find out if the Bodine on my station is the one from this timeline or the Captain of my time jumping guests. If he is their Captain then maybe he can help get things fixed.
Resume "Hot and Cold Running Wars" - Episode XVIII
Regent Nyira says:
::waiting in her office for Takor::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::taps door chime::

Regent Nyira says:
::smiles to herself:: CEO: enter
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Walks in:: Regent: Hello, If you’re ready maybe we could bring him here now?
Regent: Sooner we get this sorted the better I think.
Regent Nyira says:
CEO: That was my thoughts as well ::sends out a message to have Bodine brought to her office. ::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::In the hanger pulling apart the weapons systems on the Tigress, replacing the damaged part trying to get them back online.::
Hunter (Daniel Hendrix) says:
::Stares at Bodine, leaning against the wall opposite of his cell. Slowly tapping a baton in his hands menacingly::
Regent Nyira says:
*Hunter*: Please escort Mr. Bodine to my office.
Capt Bodine says:
Hunter: What are you staring at; do I have something on my face?
Hunter says:
*Regent*: Yes ma'am ::Approaches the cell unfurling the baton::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Tries not pace, folds and unfolds her arms. Not entirely sure what she's going to do if he's not their Captain.::
Hunter says:
*Bodine*: Don't act cute, it'll make your life worse then it will be in a few minutes. ::Opens the cell:: Stand up and start walking, in front of me. Don't give me an excuse to hurt you.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: Try the auxiliary central node of the backup flux generator to the 5th compression circuit
Capt Bodine says:
::eyes the baton wearily:: Hunter: Careful with that, those pack a punch and I am not getting any younger.
Hunter says:
Bodine: I am sure age will be the least of your concerns soon enough ::Points towards the door:: Move it
Capt Bodine says:
::wonders if it was a mistake to leave Risa:: Hunter: Alright I'm going take it easy butch. ::walks carefully in front of Hunter::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::making adjustments::
Hunter says:
Bodine: See was it so hard to cooperate? The Regent may actually not have to space you after all. ::Seems a little disappointed tone wise as they walk through the station::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Pulls his head out of the console he'd been working on and glances at Doole.:: FCO: What was that?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: I said Try the auxiliary central node of the backup flux generator to the 5th compression circuit
Capt Bodine says:
Hunter: Why should I bother to take that stick from you and proceed to beat you senseless when you are already likely taking me where I want to go anyway?
::feels like some part of him is missing an important part but has not been able to place the feeling::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods, ducking back into the console looking over the schematics on his tricorder looking for the indicated part.:: FCO: That might do it.
Hunter says:
Bodine: I was hoping you'd do something, Regent didn't specify that you should arriving alive. ::Smirks and pokes the man in the back:: Faster, I'm going to get older then you at this rate.

FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: If this fires up, I'll be happier than a tornado in a West Texas trailer park, I tell you what
::to Tigress:: Out loud: C'mon girl...turn over and ignite...you can do it
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Glances at the regent wondering how long it takes for the Captain to get here anyway....::
ACTION: The tigress powers up to 8% efficiency
Capt Bodine says:
::winces at the pain:: Hunter: If only that were true and it were also true that wisdom came with age you might become half as wise as me by the time we get there too.
ACTION: Bodine and Hunter arrive at Nyira’s office
Hunter says:
:: Opens the door then prods Bodine inside the office:: Bodine: Inside now
Capt Bodine says:
::recognizes the office:: Hunter: Thanks for the escort.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Frowns and begins to open his mouth to ask what the hell he was talking about but doubt he'll understand the answer anyway.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Turns to look at the door as it opens.::
Regent Nyira says:
::looks at the two entering her office:: Hunter: Thank you Hunter for handling him with care it’s easier to get answers out of him when he can still talk ::she smiles:: You can wait outside I’ll let you know if we need your expertise again.
Capt Bodine says:
Regent: Hello again princess. I knew you would miss me.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Stifles a look a cross between amusement and embarrassment::
Hunter says:
Regent: Yes ma'am ::Glares at Bodine one last time before closing the door behind him::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::to Tigress:: Outloud: Thatta girl CTO: Now reroute the 7 diode nextel cells through the quantum relay on panels 1, 3, and 13.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
FCO: Rerouting now. ::Begins rerouting.::
Capt Bodine says:
Regent: All jokes aside have you decided to consider my story or kill me?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: Sir...::Nods::
CO: If you could tell us your story that would help... ::She says after a quick glance at Nyira::
Regent Nyira says:
::crosses her arms and regrets sending Hunter away she knows it would look very back if she jumps over her desk and pummels Mr. Bodine:: Bodine: Have a seat Mr. Bodine ::she says through gritted teeth::
Capt Bodine says:
Regent: So if my ship got here I assume Mr. Doole and Ensign Cadarn are here as well? Are they locked up too?
::takes a seat::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::tapping on the console muttering to himself:: Self: Now route that that was, put that over there, spin that thatta way, reroute that to go through there.....and Bodine's your captain.... we should be in business.
Capt Bodine says:
Takor: Cadarn and I were trying to secure the ship, we were in a special chamber fighting a Romulan when I woke up next to my wife ...
Regent Nyira says:
::sighs:: Bodine: No they are not locked up they have proven I can trust them enough not to mess with my station. You are here to give evidence enough to make me believe you.
Capt Bodine says:
Regent: What sort of Evidence would you like. Like the command codes for my ship? Or that I know Takor is running an unauthorized potentially even illegal private bar on MY station ... To which I have not yet been invite too ..
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Takor looked horrified and her eyes widened briefly...::CO: Sir about that I...::Then her look changed::CO: Is it really you Sir? What happened?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: Ok. let's see what we got.. ::sits in his pilot's seat, taps in a few commands to power the Tigress up to 100% slowly and steadily::
Regent Nyira says:
::she watches Takor's reaction and smiles:: Bodine: That is proof enough thank you. Now let’s set some ground rules.
FCO Ens Doole says:
Tigress:: C'mon Baby.. hold together... here we go..nice and easy
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Pulls his head out of the console quickly before Doole starts firing up the Tigress, didn't want anything to explode on him, he moves over to the tactical station.::
Capt Bodine says:
Nyira/Takor: I don't know I tell you that is the truth I fired my phaser in the odd room the beam went all funny and I ended up in a hand to hand fight with that Romulan it moved into the center of the room, there was pain and then I woke up next to Anne, Anne who should be dead, and now I have two conflicting sets of memories I can’t seem to reconcile.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Takor sighs and rubs her eyes as she sits down.::CO: Here's what we know..::And she briefly explained as kindly as possible especially as it related to the timeline change...::
Capt Bodine says:
Regent: What is the plan here? You seem to be doing well for yourself here; I imagine you might not want to change the only life you have ever known.
Regent Nyira says:
::when Takor has finished filling Captain Bodine in on what has happened:: Bodine: My reasons are my own for now but I am trying to fix things hopefully for the better. I am in charge I will give you the respect you deserve Captain. What we need from you is to know why you in this timeline decided to go to the bridge 10 mins early all those years ago.
Bodine: do you have access to your younger self's logs?
Bodine: particularly from Stardate ::she looks at a datapad:: 10405.01.
Capt Bodine says:
Regent: I imagine not directly at least not from this timeline. Okay I will need access to a Starfleet database in this timeline if that is possible and access to the Tigress as well. The details now more like a distant almost lost memory I need to compare the two logs, I will figure it out if I can and let you know.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::glances at the Regent to see what her reaction will be.::
