Mission Transcript
NickMoline says:
Previously on Arcadia

Nyira Santiago started seeing visions of the sick and twisted Orion known to her only as T'Kran.

Her psychotic breaks landed her in the infirmary where her friends looked after her with sadness trying to help her

Unfortunately as the saying goes it is not paranoia if they are actually out to get you
After the force field in the Infirmary was lowered, Nyira was beamed out of the infirmary.

The crew has spent the last couple of hours trying to find her, but so far their search has not brought much fruit

The only trace of Nyira and her capture that has been found was her comm badge, which was found floating in space near the location the original transport was traced to.

The crew has been looking into leads, trying to trace the transports, and checking through security footage of the promenade
It would appear that the first "vision" may have actually been real, as an unknown man made eye contact with Nyira immediately before her first outburst

Separately, in a small cell somewhere, T'Kran is keeping Nyira, and has already violated her
CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain’s Log Stardate 11505.11
We seem to have, once again lost Nyira Santiago, it has now happened twice in my command and it is not a repeating event I would like my command to be marred with. This time it appears to be very clear abduction by an assailant who so far remains unknown to us. I have Operations and Engineering covering the technical clues while Cadarn and Kaas handle the witnesses.

Resume "Echoes of Pain" -- Episode VII
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::In OPS running yet another batch of scanns of all the annomolies in the area during the beam-out::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Returns to OPS having gotten his teams searching for the young man from the bar during the incident at the bar.::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
Computer: Change anomoly parameters to delta 7 variations and re-commence scan
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Who is working on Nyira's Commbadge we need to know where it has been before it was beamed into space.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Takor was hunched over the engineering console in OPS, working on the combage as others work with teams in engineering fine tuning internal and external sensors looking for any trace of Nyira, Breen tech, or even the location on the station of species the same as T'kran and the mystery man.::
Self: Where have you been... ::mutters as she works on the combadge::OPS 
Ens Alenis says:
CO: that report should have....I'm sorry, I forgot to forward it to you. Let me send that to you right away
CO: Only thing is....it looked normal.... I'm sorry
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Moves to the tactical station and takes over, checking with Regis if they had any luck on the scans.:: CO: I've got my teams working with security trying to track down a patron from the bar who may know something.
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Course it looks normal I need the commbadge memory analized to see if we can back trace where it was when it was detached from it's assigned person Nyira.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
OPS: Working on that right now.
Ramone (CIV Nyira) says:
sits with his family:: Tia: we should be getting close to Arcadia now.
TO PO McGregor (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Sitting in tactical having put together a sketch of the man at the bar he goes through security footage looking for a name to put with the face, two other tactical officers with him.::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::starts forwarding CommBadge memory readings to various monitors to compile::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS/CO: Any luck? All I'm getting is it was beamed to and from where we found it floating in space. I'm still trying to scan that area and surrounding space on long range sensors but so far no adjustments are working....
OPS/CO: Difference of 3400 meters between first beam and second though, can you work with that Ensign Alenis?
::adjusts short range sensors to include first and second beam location::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Curses at Takor's remark:: CEO: No, I was hoping you've had better luck. I've have the computer run scans from anomalies in the area but I had to drop the parameters and it's feeding me a ton of useless data. It's going to take me some time to sort through it all
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Let's get a search shuttle out there to carefully comb the area see if they find anything. Hae them use thrusters if they bump into anything invisible out there I don’t want any collisions to cause decompression.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: What about limiting it to exclude natural anomalies that can not be easily mimicked by man made tech?
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: CO: Yes sir, the runabouts Nile and Amazon are ready for launch, will have one deploy immediately.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Been doing some of that. I'm just worried that the computer will mistake an elevated neutrino level for something natural when it could be emmision form a cloaking device. So far, nothing.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Uses the location of first and second combadge location trying to plot a possible course, logically:: OPS: What if we hit the area with tachyon particles again? If we raise the dose maybe they will adhere to the cloaked vessel...
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Taps a few buttons on his console.:: *TO Ens Grimm*: Launch your runabout ensign, head to these quadrants ::Taps a few buttons and sends to the Amazon's console:: and begin a search, moving with thrusters only.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Sends information on possible path to OPS::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: That might work. I'm having a thought though, what if they didn't use impulse to move? The distance is so small it couldn't have been warp but what if they used a short burst of the impulse drive?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: I would like you, And th Marines to take one of the Runabouts and perform the search personally. If you or the other craft come in conact with anything I want a swift response ready for action please. Send soe deputies to continue questioning witnesses.
NickMoline says:
ACTION: LRS shows Ramone's shuttle approaching the system
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: If they set the impulse and then waited, the ship could, in theory, start orbiting the station. Which would explain the movement and the lack of anything visible in the area.
TO Ens Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Sitting in the pilot seat of the Amazon he taps his commbadge.:: *CTO*: Yes sir, We will be deploy in under 3 minutes sir, all preflight has been completed.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Possible but we get no detection of energy use of that type, it would be degraded almost immediately though, ramping up sensitivity on the radion harmonics...to scan..::taps a few more keys...::OPS: Can you give me any more power to sensors?
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Interesting theory, what can we do to detect them if they are in orbit?
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*TO*: Acknowled Ensign, ::Pauses as he hears the captain before continuing.:: I will be taking the Nile out as well to assist in the search. If we discover anything initiate pattern omega and converge on that area.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Sure.....and...there, YOu got it
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
CO: Yes captain, I will contact Kaas and have them meet me at the runabout. I have a couple people folloowing up on a possible lead now, if they find anything I will have them contact myself and you sir.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: Simple. They haven't used any energy burst, that we've seen, so most likely they're still in orbit. I can't count for all of the variables but I could plot some of their possible locations given to two points we have
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Excellent. Scanning now...::attempts to scan trying to detect::
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Go for it and plot the data to the Runabouts
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
CO: I will have two more teams prep more runabouts for launch in case they are needed as well.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: If only we could just spray a cloud around us we'd see them go through it if they were circling...::Half mutters to herself as she scans::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: I've got some basic plots. One problem though. One of the plots has them leaving sensor range in..... less than an hour. Cna you bathe the other plots with a tachyon burst?
CO Capt Bodine says:
::looks down at a new notification in the command console:: OPS: Confirm, we have an inbound shuttle? We are still broadcasting the lockdown status right? Wait that signature seems familiar. Please identify the inbound shuttle.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Of course ::Still running scans, taps keyes flooding the areas with tachyon bursts::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::swears softly and bring up the display:: CO: Roger Captain. It's....one of ours. Looks like a civilian checked it out a little while ago to go to Risa.
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Who is it registered to?
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Turns his console back over to Regis and sends a message to tactical to have 2 more runabouts prepped for launch the heads for the lift.:: *CSEC*: Corporal Kaas, meet me at the runabout Nile we are going out to search again.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: Ramone Santiago andn family. Isn't Nyira part of that group?
NickMoline says:
ACTION: When the CEO aims her Tachyon bursts at the coordinates given by OPS, sensors show a slight disruption
CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Clear his shuttle to dock in Bay 1 Alpha. Just his shuttle no one else goes in or out.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: That's her father and family...hold on I have something!::Sends it to OPS::
::Focuses on the disruption like a blood hound, hoping.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
ALL: I have to go meet Nyira's father personally find Nyira people ..
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Enters the lift ordering it to the runabout Nile.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::joins Cadarn quickly::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO:Roger. ::sends docking confirmation to the shuttle before returning to the disturbance::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Nods to the captain as he enters the lift, tapping in his access code to override any other requests for a lift and take them straight to the shuttle bays.::
Ramone (CIV Nyira) says:
Self: What the hell. ::he looks at the consule:: Tia: we are getting a stay clear becon not entry or exit from Arcadia of any kind what is going on i wonder.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::worried about heading to ny docking areas at all expecting to see a lot of upset travelers but he know he has to do this as he also knows his staff does not need to be micro managed on every little thing either, it's time to be a diplomat::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: like a sensor ghost very small, recommend we sound to the hounds...shuttlecraft to coordinate a search of that area...
::corrects herself as she talks::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: I don't expect there will be many happy people where we are headed.
TO Ens Regis (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Glances up at Alenis at the mention of something on sensors.::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Agreed. Continue the burst though. It could be a trap.
Ramone (CIV Nyira) says:
Tia : looks like we are special we have docking confirmation ::moves the shuttle to bay 1::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Chuckles at the comment.:: CO: I've noticed that any inconvoince tneds to bring out complainers sir, just glad you are coming to deal with them and not me captain.
Tia (CIV Nyira) says:
Ramone: I wonder why we are allowed in if they are on lockdown?
OPS Ens Alenis says:
TO: Can you broadcast the cordinates of teh disturbance to the runabouts? I'm going to try and narrow the search field::
TO Ens Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Launches the runabout Amazon and begins making his way toward the cordinates Cadarn sent him.::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::continues to analyze and track the disturbance::
TO Ens Regis (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
OPS: Will send to them immediatly, let me know if you pick up anything else. ::Taps a few more buttons on his console sending the cordinates to the Nile and Amazon.::
Ramone (CIV Nyira) says:
lands the shuttle:: Graham/Pete: Stay put your mom and I are going to go find out what is going on.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: It's not very big. Could be trap. I'll stick with this section, can we hit the nest area?
*TO*: Ensign Grimm, be careful. The target is a small vesel, about the size of an escape pod. Could be a trap
CO Capt Bodine says:
::steps out of the lift and heads down to the double blast doors that lead to the shuttle bay he needs:: ::calls back to the CTO:: *CTO*: Find her please.
T'Kran (NickMoline) says:
@::reads his computer display:: CIV: Well well, your friends are better than I thought, they've found me... Never fear though pet, I won't let them take you from me again.
TO Ens Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Recieves new cordinates from operations and alters his course that direction.:: *OPS*: Understood Ensign, thanks for the heads up, will proceed with caution. Let me know if anything changes.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: We can...::continues to work the console like a master pianist::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Quickly begins moving in the other direction moving quickly toward the Nile.:: *CO*: I will sir. ::His voice grimm and determined.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::straights his uniform and waits just inside the station airlock for the passengers of the shuttle to disembark::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: If we hit the pod with phasers that should bring down the cloak, recommend light yield so we don't destroy it by accident but if we get the cloak down we can beam it aboard. Shuttles would be best placed to do that...
Ramone says:
::walks with his wife out of the shuttle cautiously::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Steps into the runabout and slaps the door contorl to close it not waiting to see if Kaas has made it abourd he calls to the front.:: TO: Launch the runabout ::As he moves to the front of the runabout he takes a seat at tactical leave Flynn to mann the helm.::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Agreed. *TO*: Ensign, you have permission to fire on teh object. Light yeild on the phasers. We only want to beam it, not hurt it
CO Capt Bodine says:
<<edit: ::waits on the deck for the passengers to disembark the shuttle::>>
TO Ens Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
*OPS*: You want me to fire on it?
CO Capt Bodine says:
Ramone: Mister Santiago, I am Captain Bodine, you may recall me from the party. I came to greet you here because we have an ongoing situation that involves Nyira.
TO CPO Flynn (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Applies thrusters and maneuvers the Nile out from the shuttle bay, and once clear banks the runabout around heading for the coordinates of the object they were picking up.:: CTO: We have new coordinates, OPS is picking up some object.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: There it is try to beam it aboard, inform security, I'll have force fields up::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Docking bay 3 is clear and there are forcefields going up now......as soon as we can get a lock, beam it in inside
TO Ens Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
*OPS*: Understood. ::Opens a comm with the Nile:: *CTO*: We have an object on sensor sir, and clearance to fire, low yield to try and drop the cloak.
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*TO Grimm*: Do it, we will be there in 2. ::Turns to Flynn:: TO: Punch it.
TO Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Drops the power on the phasers and fires at the object.::

NickMoline says:
ACTION: Upon being hit by phaser blast, the weak cloak fails, to show a small pod, slightly larger than an escape pod, there's a dampening field in effect so that the insides cannot be scanned.
Ramone says:
::Is taken aback by seeing the Captain waiting for them:: CO: what do you mean involves Nyira? What is going on?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Confirming Forcefields up, attempting to get a lock ::does so::
OPS: make sure security is on site with medical in case its Nyria....
TO CPO Flynn (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
Increases the throttle and speeds their way toward the position of the Amazon.::
TO Ens Grimm (CTO LtJG Cadarn) says:
*OPS*: There seems to be a dampening field in place I can't get a reading on the inside of the pod.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Ramone: Sir, it appears Nyira was beamed off Arcadia against her will. We have leads we believe her and whoever took her is stil very close by, no evidence suggests the people or person responsible has left the system with her. We are working on locating and recovering your Daughter now. As of now there has been o direct contact and their motives and intent remains unknown.
NickMoline says:
ACTION: The pod is beamed into the station, less than one second after materializing, the pod explodes, taking out most of Docking Bay 3, including the force field generator, just outside the force field, a technician is hit by the blast wave and engulfed in the explosion. The entire station shudders
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Franticly starts typing away and teh keyboard to get rescue teams adn repair teams to the site::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::is thrown off his feet by the shock in the deck plates::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Trap then, sealing the area off, sending in damage control teams, evacuating the area. ::Her voice completely calm, almost deadpan::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::slowly gets back to his feet and check on Ramone and his wife. Are you two alright?
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Curses as the pod dematerlizes from his scans and he registers an explosion in the docking bay.:: *OPS*: Damn it you can't just beam an unknown object onto the station. ::He yells over the comm.::
Ramone says:
::Ramone's face pales both he and Tia fall::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Have the other shuttles had any luck with their areas? ::Already so pissed she's gone completely cold at this point.::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CEO: Negative, 2 areas to search left. Sensors are still online. You find teh shuttle, I'll fix this mess
CO Capt Bodine says:
::taps his Commbade:: *OPS*: What the hell was that! Report!
Ramone says:
::Tia slowly gets to her feet but Ramone stays on the ground::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Hears the CO::*CO*: Takor to CO, I take responsibility. You can fire me later...
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*TO Grimm/TO Regis*: Keep watching the sensors, engineering will have to deal with the explosion. Keep an eye out for any other cloaked ships, this is likely just a diversion, spread out. ::Taps his badge again opening a channel with his tactical teams.:: *TO*: Get those other two runabouts launched I want a search going now.
Ramone says:
::Ramone not really caring about the station looks at the Captain and rage starts to appear in his eyes:: CO: How could you let this happen?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
OPS: Acknowledged. ::As damage control teams swarm the area, coordinates sensor grid and repairs::
::Damage control teams scan the area and check debris as they begin repairs.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Ramone: Are you hurt sir? *Infirmary*: Possible medical emergency to Shuttle bay 1. Medical teams to the scene, also there was an exposition in a nearby bay it felt like bay 3 we need medical and damage teams now.
Pete (Ramone) says:
Pete runs out of the shuttle to his mother. Graham not far behind:: Tia: what was that mom? ::looks at his father:: what is wrong with dad?
T'Kran (NickMoline) says:
looking at the carnage on his viewer:: CIV: That ought to keep them busy for a while...
NickMoline says:
