Mission Transcript
Previously on Arcadia

Admiral Regnum and Lieutenant Peterson are ready to begin work on the upgrades to the Subspace Transceiver arrays they've gone over their proposal with Lieutenant Takor and have submitted it for approval to Captain Bodine and Starfleet Captain Bodine has called a meeting of the senior staff, Regnum and Peterson have been invited to sit in on the meeting.

Captain’s Log, Stardate 11501.19. With the report from the Admiral plus the proposal submitted by Engineering on further upgrades to Arcadia I feel like it’s time to gather everyone together to see how things are going and get everyone all on the same page. Plus I have one other important item on the agenda as well which I plan to take care of first.

CO Capt Bodine says:
::stands for a moment as the Admiral Enters:: Adm: Sir. Thanks for attending Admiral.
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:

CO Capt Bodine says:
EO: Glad to have you as well Lieutenant.
TO CPL Kaas says:

::Salutes Captain Bodine and the Admiral:: CO/Adm: Sirs!

Adm Regnum says:
CO: My pleasure Captain.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Wonders if they're worried about spraining something as she glances over at the pair.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
TO: Thanks for coming, you both may take a seat.
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Stands impatiently in the lift as it seems to take forever to arrive at the level he needs, as soon as the door opens he exits and heads down the hall to the observation lounge, stepping inside.:: CO: Sorry I'm late captain. ::Moves to take a seat.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: It is good to have you Ensign, welcome to your first senior staff meeting.
TO CPL Kaas says:
Both: Aye aye sir! ::Takes a seat near the door looking uncomfortable being around so many officers::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: Thank you Captain. Glad to be aboard, sir.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::looks around wondering if that is everyone::
EMH says:
FCO: Why on earth have you not been sleeping Ensign. Proper sleep is essential to a healthy life
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Just in time Lieutenant.
FCO Ens Doole says:
EMH: Too busy working to get things for the Captain done.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::stands a PADD in his hand::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Takes a seat next to Alenis.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Puts down her own PADD, prepared to take notes on the meeting.::
EMH says:
FCO: And the Captain approved double shift work? I shall have to write a stern letter to the Captain about making sure his officers have sufficient downtime.
FCO Ens Doole says:
EMH: No, that was just a matter of me being too involved with what I was doing and lost track of the time. That had nothing to do with the Captain.

CO Capt Bodine says:
::approaches Lieutenant Takor:: CEO: It is my wish that you be Commended Lieutenant for your efforts during the holosuite crisis. You kept a cool head and got us out of there in one piece. I present to you "Captain's Letter of Commendation for Outstanding Performance of Duties Under Extreme Conditions during a holosuite malfunction. " To be entered on your official record.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::As the Captain reads she jumps to her feet at attention, looking a little puzzled, But pleased::

CO Capt Bodine says:
::shakes the CEO's hand and them move back to the head of the Table:: ALL: You all have done so well getting the Station ready for upgrades. Thank you.
EMH says:
FCO: I see, well see to it that you get at least 8 hours of sleep per day. You are relieved of duty for the remainder of the alpha and beta shifts, I want you to get at least 8 hours of sleep and then return to the infirmary for a checkout before you will be allowed to return to active duty.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Sits back down::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: Since you could be here Admiral in person do you or Lt. Peterson have anything to add about the Transceiver array upgrades, or wish to otherwise summarize your efforts at this time sir?
Adm Regnum says:
CO: I think our report speaks for itself. I spoke with Lieutenant Takor here about it a half hour ago and she let me know that you have about 80% of what I need in stock. Nothing of the remaining 20% is needed until the 3rd day of upgrades and it takes 3 days to get here.
CO: As such we will be ready to start tomorrow with the first 2, and the additional parts should arrive in time for Day 3's work
FCO Ens Doole says:
:: looks at the EMH unamused:: EMH: You're kidding me right? You just had me under for the past 15 hours so I could "rest". Now you want me to get another 8 on top of that?
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: According to your report we will have certain functions go offline through the upgrade process. You also indicated that you ordered parts, but that we may already have some of it in stock so you can proceed right away then?

Adm: In what way will the Online/Offline Statuses affect our use of communications, especially short range and traffic control?

CEO: Any objections to the Admiral starting his work tomorrow on your end?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: No Sir, everything has been prepared.
EMH says:
FCO: Clearly you need the rest if you are so delusional to think that 30 minutes is 15 hours.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: Okay, if there is nothing else I will sign off on the upgrades. Assuming you get initial approval from Starfleet as well. ::looks at the EO:: EO: You have been quiet anything to add Lieutenant?

OPS: Could you please check on the Admirals requisition order and ensure a smooth delivery?
EO Lt Peterson (Adm Regnum) says:
CO: No, nothing from me sir.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: Right away, sir
FCO Ens Doole says:
EHM: Alright...Alright...I'll go to my quarters....Don't go blowing a microchip.

EMH says:
::enters on the PADD the restriction from active duty for the FCO with orders not to release to active duty until a follow-up visit to the Infirmary:: FCO: See that you do
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Use your best judgment to get all the stuff transported over. Find out from Peterson if any of it is to delicate to be transported over or if it needs to be shuttled. Go ahead and release what materials we do have on hand and replace stores as the new parts come in.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::walks out to go to quarters:: Self but out loud as he's leaving: Someone needs to reprogram that thing. Teach it some manners or something.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Nods to the Captain before grabbing her PADD and marking some quick notes::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO/TO: The only other thing I have on my agenda is the effect any other Station upgrades might have on our show owners and patrons who live here full time. Make sure they are away we are working on communications upgrades and if the disruptions will affect them they are properly warned.
EMH says:
:: Watches the FCO leave:: Self: The nerve of that man... he didn't even have the courtesy to deactivate my program.
TO CPL Kaas says:
::The Kaas's are wondering why they are here, most of this stuff is beyond their paygrade::
EMH says:
Self: Why couldn't they have copied that whole autonomous control thing from that EMH from Voyager into my program....
FCO Ens Doole says:
::stops, snaps his fingers, reenters sickbay and hears the EMH's last comment:: ::sarcastically:: EMH: Oh switch off ::leaves again::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Nods to the captain.:: CO: Understood sir, I will work with Cpl Kaas and make sure we talk with all of the shop owners as well as post schedules for the outages throughout the promenade.
EMH says:
Computer: I don't suppose you'll accept that as a command?
CO Capt Bodine says:
ALL: Oh in case any of you have not met her yet ::motions to the new Ensign:: this is Ensign Alenis our new Senior Operations Officer who is replacing Tracy Lorin. So please give her a proper Arcadia welcome.
Computer says:
EMH: Command not recognized
EMH says:
Computer: I thought not.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Smiles and nods to the new comer::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Smiles coyly at the officers in the room, not enjoying the attention very much::
EMH says:
goes over to a replicator and replicates a tennis ball and starts bouncing it off the wall while waiting for someone to return to sickbay::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
CO: We've started some preliminary planning but most of it is waiting until after the comm array upgrade, I can bump it up in priority after that.

CO Capt Bodine says:
CEO: Finally, just to make sure your department has enough work to do Chief I want a proposal on my desk on the possibility of mating the Drydock to the main station structure. I want to know how feasible that is, Take your time it's not a rush job.

ALL: I do not believe I have anything else. Are there any questions anything we might need to know about from each of your departments? ::looks around the table::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Shakes his head not having anything else to add.::
Adm Regnum says:
~~~ CO: This staff meeting needs some levity... Two Ferengi walk into a bar... ~~~
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: Just a quick one sir.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Glances back over at the ops officer::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::trys not to smile and ignores Regnum:: OPS: Go ahead.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: During the communication outages, can we use a Federation Vessel nearby for docking instructions if it becomes necessary?
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Sure, work with the FCO on that assuming he gets released from Medical.
EO Lt Peterson (Adm Regnum) says:
OPS: You could, but in all but the shortest of outages there will be 2 of the 3 arrays up at all times, so communications should flow normally. Only the final system restart takes all 3 arrays down, and that is just for 7 minutes.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: Speaking of Vessels, Starfleet took my ship. I liked that ship ...
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Maybe we should have something for those 7 minutes ::Glancing at Peterson like "Are you trying to jixed us?"::
Adm Regnum says:
CO: To be fair, you did use it to go on not one but 2 unauthorized journeys through space-time.
CO Capt Bodine says:
ALL: Unless there is anything else you are all dismissed and may return to your duty shifts.

Adm: It was necessary!
FCO Ens Doole says:
::enters quarters and goes over to the window to stare off at the stars:: Self: I hope that self-righteous indignant circuit blows a fuse.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Stifles a grin as she stands to leave::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Salutes both the Admiral and Captain with a look of concern and quickly steps out::
Adm Regnum says:
CO: Tell that to SFI, they are the ones who took it from you.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::wonders how uncomfortable Peterson feels about the current topic::
Adm Regnum says:
CO: You do have other runabouts
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::catches up to the Ops officer:: OPS: Takor Jadera I'm sorry to be making such a dent in the supplies...
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: Not like that one ..
TO CPL Kaas says:
::Stands up and both snap salutes before turning on their heels and falling out::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::walks over to the replicator, gets something to eat, walks back to staring out the window while eating::
Adm Regnum says:
CO: True, not like that one, but then again that one was supposed to be used for SFI missions only
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: It was in the fine print and who ever read the fine print anyway ...

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Turns back to the CEO:: CEO: Alenis Tarel. And don't worry about it. There aren't many other ways to get to know the stocks then this.

Adm Regnum says:
CO: Well what do you expect me to do about it, I'm not in SFI
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: I am sure I can shake a few personnel loose if your people need a hand since its our fault.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Besides, this new upgrade should make the rest of my job much easier
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: How so?
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: You're an admiral get me another ship .. one with a decent warp core and more than one phaser bank.
FCO Ens Doole says:
:;finishes eating and goes to bed::
Adm Regnum says:
CO: Sorry John, I'm in Communications, best I can get you is a Transceiver array, if you want one of those.... oh wait
CO Capt Bodine says:
::groans:: Adm: So where you headed after this?
FCO Ens Doole says:
Self: I'll deal with that ball of circuitry later. Computer: Did that EMH switch off like I told him to?
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Realizes he's the last one in the room other then the Captain and the Admiral he stands to leave.::
Computer says:
Negative. The EMH program is still running.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::nods to the CTO::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: The current array is good but with the new one, I don't have to worry about overloading it. Not that our current one will but....I always prefer to be prepared with the best. You never know what the winter will bring as we used to say back on Bajor
Adm Regnum says:
CO: Probably back to that stuffy office on Mars.
FCO Ens Doole says:
Computer: What's it doing?
Computer says:
FCO: The EMH is idling in the Infirmary

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::She smiles:: OPS: I remember that saying well but in my house it was usually, "Don't wander around in the Dark or the Pa'Wrath will get you". I used to be convinced they would eat my toes if I stuck them over the bed at night..." ::She jokes::
EMH says:
starts writing up a complaint about the FCO's attitude to send to HR::
FCO Ens Doole says:
Computer: Switch off the EMH program
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: No work for you here out on the frontier huh? Many man years ago it was the frontier explorer I believe like Jonathan Archer who set the first Subspace relays. Seems to me out here is where you belong. We could find space for a lab for you’re to develop new tech.
EMH says:
::vanishes midsentence, his letter still on the display::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Returns the captain's nod and heads into the hallway. heading for operations to check in with his staff there.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::dims the lights and goes to sleep::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Laughs heartily:: CEO: My father tried to keep those stories to a minimum. I think he was terrified of them. So did you grow up on Bajor itself or a different planet?
CIV Nyira says:
::leaves the bar and heads to her suite to get ready for beta shift::
Adm Regnum says:
CO: I have missed my old office here. Just working in it the last couple days has made me nostalgic for the good ole days
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Jalanda Region on Bajor, you? ::Excited to meet someone from her home planet::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Adm: Then stay. We will get you all the research materials you need.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Bajor 8. But I visited Bajor for school once. We were studying old music.
Adm Regnum says:
CO: I'll have to check with Starfleet, but I'd like that
PAUSE
Time Lapse: 4 days
