Mission Transcript
NickMoline (Command) says:
GLOBAL INFO: Previously on Arcadia

GLOBAL INFO: Every 53 minutes and 14 seconds there is an EMP capable of knocking offline every powered device for 5 hours.

GLOBAL INFO: Lieutenant Takor has devised a shield capable of protection equipment from the effects of the EMP, which has been adapted to Arcadia Station, The U.S.S. Anderson, and the Runabout: Lazarus.

GLOBAL INFO: The EMPs are originating from the nearby nebula. The same nebula which once upon a time was the home of a Suliban Hive ship.

GLOBAL INFO: The U.S.S. Trineer was much closer to the nebula at the time of the first pulse and has not been heard from since.

GLOBAL INFO: Lieutenant Cadarn, along with Lieutenant Takor and Ensign Doole are aboard the Lazarus, and together the Lazarus and the Anderson are heading to the Nebula to investigate the cause of the pulses and hopefully the condition of the Trinneer.

CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
Captain's Log Stardate 11510.26: I have sent an away team into the nebula to search for the civilian ship and the source of the EMP waves lead by Lieutenant Cadarn. The Station itself is still in need of repairs and the public nerves calmed a bit after everything the station has gone through.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
Chief Tactical Officers log, Stardate 11510.26: We have finally stabilized our systems and are now headed into the nebula to find the cause the pulses and the fate of the Trineer. Ensign Doole, Lt Takor and I have taken the Lazarus to help the Anderson search.
Resume "Cold Fusion" -- Episode VIII
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
::At the tactical station on the runabout.:: FCO: What's our ETA to the nebula?
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
::at engineering station, monitoring sensors and the status of the modified shields::
Capt Yan (Anderson) says:
COMM: ALL: We are ready to enter the Nebula.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CTO: 2 minutes
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
::Nods to Doole.:: FCO: Good, once we enter work with the Anderson on a search pattern.
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: No sign of the Trinneer on sensors yet.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
COM: Anderson: Yan: Captain let me check on the status of my away team first.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
::Taps a few buttons on his console.:: COM: Anderson: Capt Yan: We are 2 minutes behind you Captain.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: Open a channel to the Lazarus please.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: Keep looking and keep an eye out for anything out of the norm for in there. ::Motions towards the viewscreen.:: We also need to find the pulses source.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Normally I would suggest to lock onto the strongest power source, but since we don't have any idea what or in which direction this power source is or isn't, that might be a moot point
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: Roger that.
COM: Lazarus: Lazarus, this is Arcadia, come in
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
COMM: Arcadia: OPS: This is the Lazarus.
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Understood ::continues to focus on sensors trying to improve output by modifying the frequency gain and other engineering tricks::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: How are the shields holding up?
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Nebula penetration in 30 seconds
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
COMM: Lazarus: CTO: Lt. what is your teams status are you ready to enter the Nebula?
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Shields holding no change...
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
COMM: Arcadia: CO: We are just about to enter the nebula captain.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Entering Nebula now
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
::examines sensor data for anything odd or that she needs to take into account as they enter the nebula::

CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
COMM: Arcadia: CO: We have entered the Nebula sir, going to work with the Anderson on a search pattern.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
COMM: Lazarus: CTO: Next pulse is in 1minute. Let it pass before you enter.Please try and check in every 8 hours. Good luck.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
FCO: Pull us back to the edge to wait out the next pulse.
COMM: Arcadia: CO: Understood captain.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
::brings Lazarus back to the edge::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
All: Guess now we wait to see if being this close changes things. ::Glances down at the countdown on his console.::
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
::self, yet outloud:: Now we see if the shields are worth the price we paid.
Capt Yan (Command) says:
GLOBAL ACTION: The next wave of the EMP hits, first passing over the Anderson and the Lazarus (shields hold) and then 48 seconds later over the Station (shields also hold)
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
::Thinks to self jokingly, "We paid? I almost burnt a finger off with makeshift repairs but ok..." CTO: Pulse has passed, shields holding.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: Good, time to head in. ::Looks down at the time which has reset automatically when the pulse passed.:: FCO: Takes us in, nice and easy.
COMM: Arcadia: CO: Pulse passed with no issues here, we are heading in, see you at check in.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
::proceeds forward at a nice steady glide::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
COMM: Anderson: Capt Yan.: We are entering the Nebula now captain. Ready to work with you on the search sir.
Capt Yan (Anderson) says:
COMM: Lazarus: CTO: Acknowledged Lieutenant, let's find our friends
ACTION: The Anderson and the Lazarus enter the nebula
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: Okay you can either help with repairs many areas need work Engneering left a list. Work teams just need a little supervision. Or youcan stay here in Ops. and monitor comms. Either way make sure we have someone on comms in case the away team or Anderson checks in.
ACTION: The Anderson and the Lazarus fall off sensors once they enter the nebula.
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Attempting to scan...we've only got a short range, trying to increase gain but the energies here are difficult...
::taps on her console intently::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: Did we have any bearing on the pulses source before we entered or just that is was somewhere inside?
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: Roger that, I'll....sir, we just lost both the Anderson and the Lazarus from sensors
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: Also if this is not already done warn any docked ships that they are only protected as long as they are docked we advise them strongly to stay docked until the EMP waves stop but if ship Captain's wish to leave they may do so at their own risk.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
::Taps a few buttons to test their communications, didn't look like they could get a signal out to Arcadia.::
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: I expected we might loss them I am sure they can manage.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
COMM: Anderson: Yan: Looks like we've lost our comms to the Arcadia, do you still read us?
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Attempting to triangle a possible bearing one moment ::Starts to crunch some numbers and tap her console some more::
::schematics and spatial algorithms flash across one of her screens::
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: Roger that, I can assist with repairs since we Takor left.
Capt Yan (Anderson) says:
COMM: Lazarus: CTO: We still read you, there is some interference but I think as long as we stay relatively close to each other we should be able to remain in contact
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: I have a pulse bearing, passing to helm...::taps a sequence of keys::
CTO: We've lost all sensors outside the nebula, odds are Arcadia can't read us as well.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
COMM: Anderson: Yan: We will move off some to cover as much area as possible but stay in comm contact. ::Glances back at the CEO:: We might have a bearing on the pulse's source that might be a good place to start our search.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: Then lets head down toward the Promenade and see what needs work first. ::downloads then repair list to a PADD
::heads to the Turbo-lift::
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Aye passed to helm to coordinate.
Capt Yan (Anderson) says:
COM: Lazarus: Makes sense, lead the way
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: After you sir ::steps into the turbolift behind Bodine::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
FCO: Head for those cordinates as soon as you have them.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
::makes course corrections::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: At least that leaves the option open that the Trineer is in here somewhere. Any sign of another ship?
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
Computer: Promenade.
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Nothing yet on sensors, and yes let's hope. Does the Anderson know the Trinneers last known position?
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CEO: I may not be an engineer, but if I tucked us up under the nose of the saucer section of the Anderson, that might could strengthen the shielding on both ships by overlapping them, and protect us even more from the next wave?
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
::at the lift comes to a stop he gets off at the Promenade getting a good look around::

CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO/FCO: There are gravimetric distortions in the direction that the pulse seems to come from
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
::steps out behind Bodine::
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
FCO: Shields are holding and the plan is to scan as much space as possible as quickly as possible though that's a possibility in an emergency
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: Dangerous for us?
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: Honestly things looks really good here. You don't know how dark it was on the Drydock.
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: not yet but we'll want to monitor, the deflector will take care of it...I'm concerned though if the Trinneer is in here and without power...well at least no debris yet...::She mutters hopefully as she continues to work::
ACTION: A gravametric distortion wave hits, causing the runabout to jolt and shudder.
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: I can only imagine. We're very glad to have you back. It was touch and go for a while there
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: modifying deflectors to absorb, shields holding...
CIV Nyira (Arcadia) says:
::behind the bar filling orders now that power is back things in the pub are running as if it were just another busy shift. Most people have stayed not knowing if it is safe to head to their own quarters yet and because she didn't feel safe letting anyone in the holosuites the pub is a little more crowded then usual::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
::Nods to Takor:: CEO: Good, how large are these waves? CEO/FCO: Can we avoid them? ::Looks between the CEO and FCO.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: What kind of power draw is the shield mod requiring? Can we maintain this long enough for themto turn off the source some how?
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
::quickly adjusting to compensate:: CTO: Avoid them...probably not...ride them like a surfer on a wave...quite possible
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
::Studying a readout, pointing to it::CTO: Not likely its coming from where we want to go, pretty much in a sphere but there's an interruption in the wave just here...::Sends data to their stations::

FCO: Whats surfing?
::puzzled but still focused on her data::

CTO/FCO: , the edge of a cone of distortion is about 40 Kilometers to our starboard...
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
CEO: Blockage?
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Yes Sir something is interrupting the wave.
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CEO: On Earth, they take these specially designed boards and they take them out on the ocean, and ride on top of the water, while standing on the board
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: about the size of a ship. 1400km bearing 14 degrees starboard, 3 degrees dorsal
FCO: That seems insane...::She says in the tone of one who'd like to see that and maybe try it::
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: We should be able to. The nod isn't drawing too much power. My only concern at the moment is the supply on the Drydock
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
CTO: We should pass this to the Anderson
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: I am going to need you to get on supply re ordering the inventory job that needs be done won’t be easy.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
::Nods.:: COMM: Anderson: Yan: Captain we are picking something about 40 kilometers starboard = 1400 km away at bearing 14 mark 12. Something is disrupting the distortion wave. Could be a ship.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
OPS: As for the Dry-dock yes we may need to replace a few things.
CO Capt Bodine (Arcadia) says:
::walks into Nyira's:: OPS: I want to check in on the few civilians we still have aboard real quick.
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
CO: No worries, sir. I can start on checking up with engineering
FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CTO: Shall we head for the distortion?
CTO Lt Cadarn (Lazarus) says:
FCO: Alter course to put the blockage right between us and the wave source. looks like its almost between us and our target anyway if we come up right behind it it might cut down on the wave force we feel.
CIV Nyira (Arcadia) says:
::looks up as the Captain walks in:: CO: are we getting the all clear? These people would like to go home. ::some cheers come from the crowd::

FCO Ens Doole (Lazarus) says:
CEO: We get some down time when we get back, I can set one of the holodecks up, so you can try it if you want. ::altering course as he speaks to match the CTO's instructions::
ACTION: As the Lazarus and the Anderson approach the source of the blockage that distorted the gravimetric wave, they can see it is a Steamrunner class starship. The U.S.S. Trinneer, apparently dead in space.
CEO Lt Takor (Lazarus) says:
FCO: Sounds like a plan...::She says focusing on the readouts::
