Mission Transcript
Previously on Arcadia

Wave after Wave of EMPs have hit the station every 53 minutes and 14 seconds. When the first wave hit, the CO, CEO and the pair of CSECs were on the fleet yard working to prepare it for merging with the station via umbilical
Separated and powerless, the crew on both sides to figure out what happened, restore power, and how to stop it from happening again.

After small scale tests have shown that they should be able to shield from the waves, and using workbees the crew stranded on the fleet yard has returned to the station, the now reunited crew have worked to adapt the small scale EMP shield to work with the station's main shields.

Based on when the first power was restored (and subsequently knocked back out) main power should be restored any minute, however the next wave will hit in 11 minutes.

Since shields were in that first power outage, they have not been able to test the EMP shield at full scale, and are planning on activating their modifications as soon as the power comes back online, then power off anything critical, leaving just the shields and some non-critical things to test the EMP shield with.
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
Cheif Tactical Officers log stardate 11510.15. We finally have a way to protect our systems against the pulses. We are preparing to test this full scale using the stations shields. If all goes well we can move on to finding the cause of the pulses.
Resume "Cold Fusion" -- Episode VI
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::In operations at the tactical station waiting with the others to see if main power comes back on as they have predicted.::
NickMoline says:
<CO_Yan (Anderson)> @COMM: Arcadia: This is Captain Yan aboard the U.S.S. Anderson. We have been without power for most of the last 14 hours. Main power just came back online for the second time, but we appear to be being hit by some sort of EMP Pulses. Life Support is dangerously low. If anybody can hear me, please respond, I don't know if we can survive another wave.
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
::In Life-support running tests on the system::
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Standing on a box overlooking a group of civilians Kaas nodded at Mara who barked something into their radios. Officers around them already at their post were guiding civilians out of the promenade and towards their rooms. Raising a bullhorn Kaas spoke clearly and slowly for the fifth time::
CEO Lt Takor says:
::In Ops working on making sure the device modifications are ready to go and the they are ready for the test on her end::
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
CEO: Lt the modifications are ready for the shields? Next wave should be coming soon.

OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: This is Arcadia, we are also experiencing the EMPs. We have our Life Support back online but transport system are not online yet. Standby.
CEO Lt Takor says:
CEO: We are good to go.
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CTO*: Sir, we have a problem. The Anderson is drifting and is low on Life Suport
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: CEO: Good, makes sure we get life support and comms shut down in case the modifications don't work.
NickMoline says:
ACTION: Main Power comes back online
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: All rigged to go with a push of a few buttons ::Keeping an eye on the time::
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: Captain, take any online system offline for 10 minutes. We have another pulse incoming but any system offline should be unaffected. It does have to be totally powered don however
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: Main power online, ready to power up shields with the modifications then take vital systems offline
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Stops as he hears Alenis.:: *OPS*: Let them know we are working on the problem. Tell them to shut down all systems until after the next pulse. Then we will transmit shielding instructions and send help if needs be. ::Turns toward the CEO.:: CEO: Will we be able to modify one or two of the runabouts between the next pulses?
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CTO* Roger that, I already notified them to shut down systems in preparation for the next pulse. I'll start working with Engineering on getting main power off in the meantime
CEO Lt Takor says:
::Nods::CTO: Yes, I can pull multiple teams..::She says absently, studying her console::

CTO: All checks out, I'm powering up shields with the modification in stages now...::taps a few keys...::
CO Yan (NickMoline) says:
COMM: Arcadia: 10 Minutes you say? It will be safe to bring it back online after that?
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
CEO: Good plan it as soon as this next pulse hits. ::Turns to the FCO:: FCO: Hopefully with our help the Anderson will be able to modify their shields after the next pulse but if not we need to be ready to send what aid we can. Have your teams prep two of the runabouts for launch?
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: You will be safe for 50 minutes after the pulse hits. We are working on getting help to you in the meantime
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*: Powering up modified shields, then we need to shut down vital systems just in case as we discussed.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: Is 2 runabouts going to be enough?
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CEO* Finishing prepping the commands now, just say when
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Surveys the procession and it's a struggle with confused aliens arguing with Officers. Kaas ducked as a woman threw a shoe at ime screaming about ow she's going to miss a sale. Two Officers dragged her away in cuffs while Kaas shook his head::
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
FCO: I doubt we'll be able to evacuate them but hopefully we can bring enough gear to help them set up shielding and get life support online. We also are letting them know to shut down now, if that works they might be able to come to us, just want to be ready to assist.
CO Yan (NickMoline) says:
@COMM: OPS: Ok Arcadia, thank you, we are initiating main power shutdown now, we will power back up in 10 minutes.

OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: Roger that, talk to you then
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Glances down at his padd looking at the timer counting down.::
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CTO* Anderson is offline for 10 minutes, secondary systems ready for shutdown
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: Understood. *Flight Team*: Delta 6, get the Phoenix and the Lazarus ready for launch. I want them ready to assist the Anderson if necessary.
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*:We've got green across the board, you can start shutting down vital systems but warn security first they get ansy otherwise...
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CEO* ROger that
*CSEC* Powering down system, just standby
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
*OPS*: Understood. ::Taps a few more buttons on his padd starting another timer.:: As soon as that 10 minutes is up and we are back online try contacting them again.
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
::Begins powering down non shielded systems::
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Growls at how slow this is going and sighs. The paperwork for tonight was going to be a pain in the butt. When OPs came through Kaas sighed harder::
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged
FCO Ens Doole says:
*<Flight Team>*: Acknowledged. Prepping the Phoenix and Lazarus for launch.
NickMoline says:
ACTION: The CEO in Operations, and CO over in Deflector control are able to power up the new shields while OPS is able to shut down the most important systems, leaving non-essential systems and the shields online to as a proof of concept for the shield. Wave hits in 3 minutes
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
*Station Personel*: Wave incoming in 3 minutes. Secure all station and standby. Science watch sensors and pull all data we can on the pulse.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*<Flight Team>*: FCO: Phoenix and Lazarus ready for launch.

CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Bracing his Officers for the incoming wave and the panic that will ensue. Raising his bullhorn Kaas repeated his message and added:: Civilians: Everything is under control.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Flight Team*: Great Job. Strap in and get set for this next wave
CTO: the Phoenix and Lazarus are ready to fly
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
FCO: Good, if we don't need them to assist the Anderson they may be needed to investigate the pulse if we can determine its origin.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Flight Team*: power them down until after the wave or they'll go offline and we won't be able to use em.

*<Flight Team>: Acknowledged. powering down ::powers down both runabouts::
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: Confirming vital systems shut down, secondary and modified shields up and ready.
NickMoline says:
ACTION: The Wave hits, the shields buckle but stay online and everything that was still powered up stays online
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
::starts powering things up as soon as the wave passes::
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: It held! *OPS*: Shields held! can you confirm all systems left online are fully operational?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: Well that was fun
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CEO* Yes, everything is....fine. It worked! It worked!
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Smiles at the CEO's outburst.:: CEO: Good to hear. Get systems back online and get some teams down to the runabouts and outfit a couple of them with this shielding. They may be needed.

OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CEO* We have so much sensor data too, this is awesome, well done!
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*: I'm checking to make sure it will hold but I think we can consider leaving systems up next time ::Monitors as OPS powers up the main systems.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::checking sensors::
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*: Thanks for the help OPS, smoother than an androids bottom...I'm reviewing the data on the shields make sure there's no tweaks needed....
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
*OPS*: Try to raise the Anderson and see how they weathered this pulse. ::Turns to the flight station.:: FCO: Do you have the Anderson on sensors or know its last location?
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Is confused when everything stays on and nothing happens. Checks his watch twice and keys for OPS:: OPS: Update Operations, over.
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: Arcadia to Anderson, do you copy?
NickMoline says:
INFO: There is no response
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Taps a few buttons on his console bringing up the sensor information that science was able to pull.::
Capt Yan says:
ACTION: Outside the system, the Anderson begins its power up procedures
CEO Lt Takor says:
::Checks systems, makes minor changes to stabilized the modifications and does final checks.::
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CTO* Anderson still offline but it looks like they are powering up now

FCO Ens Doole says:
::loud whisper:: Possum on a gum bush! CTO: Location of Anderson is close to the nebula, but what's more fascinating is the source of the EMP waves
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
*OPS*: Good give them a few minutes then try again. As soon as you can send them specs on the shield modifications we've made.
::Looks up from his console.:: FCO: What’s the source?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: the EMP waves seem to be eminating from inside the nebula itself.
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Kaas seems concerned and clears his throat:: OPS: This is Corporal Kaas to Operations. Sitrep. Over.
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: The design looks solid I think we'll be safe to leave the systems up next time...
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: and it dissipates on the other side of the 39 Leonis System
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
*CSEC* OPS to Kass, power should be online in the next few minutes
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: well begins to disapate there anyway
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: FCO: Any more data on cause? Send out a general warning to all traffic in the area. Have them avoid the region affected by the pulse.
Capt Yan says:
@COMM: Arcadia: This is Captain Yan aboard the Anderson, your instructions seem to have worked, are we safe from more pulses?
CSEC CPL Kaas says:
::Sastified and continues to direct civilians with emergency lights::
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*: Everything still green on your end? I've got all my people working on repairs and systems if you need anyone just ask
CTO/FCO: Anything useful on the sensor data?

CTO Lt Cadarn says:
CEO: We know it originates from the nebula but from what I can see that’s about all we have currently.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::sends out the warning:: CTO: Well there's one way that I know to ascertain the cause, but not sure you're going to like the idea
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: Glad to hear from you again. I am sending you specifications for your shield. I you can start to make teh required changes, our runabouts should be able to help you finish the modifications to defend you from future pulses.

*CEO* Everything looks good from here. I'm going to head back up to the OPS deck unless you still need me in Lie Support
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
FCO: What idea is that?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: We are gonna have to have us a looksee from the inside.
CEO Lt Takor says:
*OPS*: We're good I've a couple off ratings heading down to monitor.
::two engineering petty officers arrive in Life Support::
Capt Yan says:
INFO: Other than small devices that were taken out by pulses after the first one, all systems are now online, and based on sensor data the shield should be able to adequately protect against the next pulse
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: FCO: That doesn't suprise me. We either need to take a runabout or two or have the anderson head in if they can modify their shields.
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
::Nods to the petty oficers before starting to run towards OPS::
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: I see. ::Frowns but actually agrees with FCO they don't have info and need more and better sensor scans of that nebula::

Capt Yan says:
@COMM: OPS: Thank you, we are receiving your schematics and our engineers will begin working on it immediately, do you know exactly how long we have until the next wave hits us?
CEO Lt Takor says:
::The senior petty officer nods politely at OPS before motioning to her partner to take a station as they check systems.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: The Anderson is about 30% of the way towards the nebula, but they haven't been in direct line of the EMP wave, which is most likely the reason they are still with us
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: Were we able to send the shield data to the Anderson? Were they able to get more sensor data than us?
FCO Ens Doole says:
CTO: I'm not sure the Anderson would withstand the pounding with the beating they've already sustained
CTO Lt Cadarn says:
CEO: We had them power off this last pulse. I'm having Lt Alenis send the shield data now so they will hopefully have it ready for the next pulse.
OPS LtJg ALenis says:
COMM: Anderson: You have 50 minutes left until the next pulse. They seem to be originating from the nebula nearby.
CEO Lt Takor says:
CTO: Excellent, maybe now we can focus on what the heck is setting off the pulse from the nebula.
