Mission Transcript
NickMoline says:
Coming up next on Arcadia

Starfleet has approved the plan to physically attach the fleet yards to Arcadia Station.

The U.S.S. Anderson and the U.S.S. Trinneer will be arriving in 3 days to aid in moving the drydock to the station where Engineering teams will connect the two, creating one master turboshaft that can bring people between both locales.

Engineering crews are already at work maining modifications to both the bottom part of the station and the top of the fleet yard so that they can be connected.

Meanwhile, Nyira Santiago has just recently been released from the infirmary after having her broken bones mended.
Unfortunately her emotional wounds may take far longer to heal.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain's Log: Stardate 11506.29. It's been over a month since the Breen ship fled the station. Life on Arcadia has gone back to something resembling normal around here. We have 3 days to retrofit the main hull so it can be mated with the Drydock. That leaves all the departments with quite a lot of work to do. So here we go ...

Begin "Cold Fusion" -- Episode I
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::In OPS going over the final room assignments for the new arivals::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::enters Nyira's pub and heads over to the Barkeep:: Barkeep: Is Nyira here?
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Leaning on a crutch Kaas stil wasn't fully recovered from the blast but he still wore his service dress and did his job. Currently he was overseeing his team sweeping the room he picked out for the Admiral. It was an inner room and sandwiched between bulkheads for durability. Alright allocated a 24/7 shift rotation of four armed guards in the hallway.::
CIV Nyira says:
::sits at her table stareing at the food her father sat before her right before he left to help his wife take care of Nyira's Pub ::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::In operations working with Grimm on the firing solutions for the phaser arrays, determining how they needed to be adjusted with the added mass of the fleet yard. He had a number of other concerns and thoughts he needed to discuss with the captain before they finalized plans.::
Tira (CIV Nyira) says:
CO: Captain it is good to see you. Nyira is up in her suite she has been home for half a week but we still can't get her to leave her suite other then to go check in with the EMH.::she sighs showing her worry for her step-daughter. ::
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
TO: Anything? ::The TO shook his head holding a scanner:: TO: One more time and yes I know we did four times already. ::The TOs sighed and began again while he looked over at the team strenghtening the room supports, with a little help from Engineering he was making the room into a bunker of sorts. Hell at this point the room would be left standing even if teh station blew up.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
Tira: Do you mind if I head upstairs and check on her?
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Forwards the room assignments to Kaas for confirmation before taking a step back and looking around at everyone in OPS::
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
Eh who needs me now? ::Hopping around fumbling around with the PADD:: TO: I want double seams, that will spilt under pressure. ::Looking down he confirmed the room assignments that he had set up.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::his PADD he was carrying beeps it has his active shift details on it John looked down to see a new message from Engineering on it he clicked a button and quickly scanned the note::
Tira (CIV Nyira) says:
CO: of course Captain go right ahead she needs friendly faces around her.
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*CO*: Captain, when you have a moment I would like a word with you about the addition of the fleet yard and its impact on the defensive systems.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::smiles back at Tira:: Tira: You have a plate of food I can take up with me as a peace offering?

*CTO*: Message received, wait one please. ::waits on Tira::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::working on ideas to retrofit the runabouts for tug duty to drag the drydocks over to the station so the engineering team can actually attach the two together::
Tira (CIV Nyira) says:
smiles sadly:: CO: I believe Ramone just made her food. not that it would help she hasn't been eating much either. ::fights back tears and clears her throught:: sorry go on up whenever you like.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::steps away from the bar and he stops at the base of the stairs:: *CTO*: Bodine here, go ahead Lieutenant.

CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Placing the PADD away Kaas nudged the TO away from the welding and leaned down:: Looks good, anything? ::The TO shook his head again holding up the scanner. Kaas whistled and in bustled a bunch of woman of various species. It took a bit of cajoling but he managed to get a team from the interior design store to get this place going. His TOs began replacing the wall panels while others began helping the ladies bring in p
Ramone (CIV Nyira) says:
comes out of the door leading up to the suites above and heads to the bar to help his wife::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*CO*: It can wait until you are finished with whatever you are doing now sir and get back to OPS just needs to be discussed before we finalize the plans.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*CO*: Are we going to be bringing drydock on a straight shot or are we going to slide it around to attach it to a different part of the station?
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CTO*: Actually I just got an important note from Engineering, they are concerned about Shield coverage once we add the extra mass of the Drydock make sure that is part o our design considerations please. I honestly had not even thought about it.
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Hopping backwards Kaas bumped into his wife who smiled and handed him a mug of coffee. Taking it he smiled and winked, Mara's job had been getting the TO team up to Marine marksmen standards and training. It was a slow process but soon most of them would be unofficial Marines.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
*FCO*: Ensign, its up to the Chief Engineer and Operations to find the most suitable connection points. I want at least two primary connections if possible. whether that means the base of the station on the dorsal side or hanging off the shuttle docks I can't say will need to work with OPS and CEO on that.
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*CO*: That is one of my concerns sir and I have a couple ideas on ways to deal with it during a crisis if needed, but will need yours and the engineering teams approval, my other concern is weapons coverage with it that close it we will have blind spots will need to add some phaser emitters to the dock to extend the coverage.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CTO*: I will be in Operations in a few minutes. You have command up there for now. I have something to take care of first. ::with that he made his way up to the suites::
CIV Nyira says:
::pushes her food around on her plate::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
*CO*: Understood. ::Closes the comm and looks back at his monitors and the readouts they were showing.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::reaches Nyira's door and hits the chime::
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Briefly they kissed before a lady pushed them apart carrying a lamp. Chuckling Mara helped Kaas move out of the room.:: *CO*: This Coporal Kaas to Captain Bodine, over
CIV Nyira says:
::Drops her fork as she jumps at the door chime, she looks at the door nurvously.:: Computer: Who is at the door?
Computer (CO Capt Bodine) says:
CIV: Captain John Edgemoor Bodine, Station Commander.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::considers hitting the chime again he reaches out for it a second time::

CIV Nyira says:
::she eases some but not all of her nervousness:: CO: Come in Sir.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::just as he was about to press the button again he hears her voice pas over the door panel to enter he presses the button to open the door and he steps inside:: CIV: Hello, what's with all the sir business? How are you doing?
::sees the food pushed all over the plate he is unsure how full it was to start but has the feeling that it is basically un-touched food::
CIV Nyira says:
:: smiles a fake smile that doesn't reach her eyes:: CO: getting better sir ::she lies::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::glances around at the state the suite is in but he stays polite:: CIV: That is good to hear, I passed through the pub on my way here your friends have been asking about you. I just came up to see if there is anything I or Starfleet can do for you?
OPS Ens Alenis says:
FCO/CEO: I have a rendering of the station and the proposed addition plan. I would like to go over some of the proposed changes with you guys, if that's alright.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Nyira: I also thought you might appreciate to know that Lt. Peterson has requested a permanent transfer to Arcadia Engineering Department. I understand you may know each other and since his transfer was approved I thought I would let you know about it. He is due to arrive in 3 days.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::looking at image:: OPS: I'm thinking that the best place to attach the drydock is straight to the bottom of the station and hook it ::pointing to 4 places:: here..here..here and here. What did you have in mind?
::interested with what OPS has to say::
CIV Nyira says:
::she flinches slightly at the thought of Tony not sure how things will go when he arrives:: CO: thank you for letting me know, ::she smiles again trying to hide the turmoil that is going on in her head::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Spins the image on it's head:: FCO: I think that's good but I worry about 2 things. First, the weapons array would need to be re-mapped with additional power conduits......here. ::highlights a section into the new addition::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
::Glances up as he hears Alenis mention the weapons systems.::
OPS Ens Alenis says:
FCO: Second, would the 4 points enough to anchor it? We'd probably have to talk to Engineering for that::
::Looks over at Cadarn:: CTO: Sorry to interupt, sir. Do you have a minute?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CIV: You are not one of my officer's so you do not ever have to call me sir, and while I can't order it I would like to offer that you see one of the Starfleet Counselors on the station. I will talk with that banch of medical and make sure that they find someone to make time for you should you choose to use the service. I am sorry so many things keep happening to you here. I want you to know we are making every effort to improve security.
This has become your home and you should fel safe in your own home. Let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
OPS: Yes I do, have been working on the same issues, at least the weapons one.
FCO Ens Doole says:
OPS: Agreed. The CTO would have to remap the weapons array so not to shoot our own foot. These 4 points would be the main anchors, but we would probably have to retrofit support anchors along the edges to ensure immobilization
OPS Ens Alenis says:
CTO: I was worried about the power distribution with the 4 primary proposed anchor points. If we need to use the full sheild and weapons array, I would worry about overloading the conduits.
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Now with his team fully engaged in just helping the ladies Kaas told the nearest CPO that he was in command and that a mess up was not acceptable. Sastified he hopped his way to Nyira's with his wifes help:: Mara: I have to speak to someone today, haven't cheked in for awhile.
FCO Ens Doole says:
OPS: Also like you said, we'd have to talk to engineering about it, because they'd know if our ideas were sound or not
CO Capt Bodine says:
::is surprised the quarters are in such immaculate condition someone must be checking in on her often which John was relieved to see::
CTO LtJG Cadarn says:
FCO/OPS: Its not just a matter of remaping the array we will need additional phaser emitters to cover the extra space so I don't end up with blind spots someone could hide in. I'd love to add some torpedo launchers as well but with storage an loading it may be too difficult to pulll off.
OPS: I'm not sure it would be possible to keep full shields up around the entire structure, at least not for long, that is a huge area to cover and the power requirements would be immense.
OPS Ens Alenis says:
FCO: If we follow with this plan, can we tow it close enough with the 2 warships or will the runabouts need to pull it a fair distance?
CIV Nyira says:
;;grateful for the concern she nods:: CO: I call you sir out of respect, ::she looks at him with alittle more of a smile:: You are the first person that I have ever felt respect for, and thank you for the offer i will think about it .
FCO Ens Doole says:
OPS: The runabouts would crack like an egg under the strain of that kinda tow, they'd only be good for spotters and final attachment.
CO Capt Bodine says:
Nyira: Okay that's all I was hoping to hear. ::he smiled back:: Don't let that plate get cold it looks very tasty ::with that he steps out of Nyira's suite and headed back down stairs::
