CO Capt Bodine
::in turbo-lift:: Computer: Main Engineeering.

TO Ens Thalataar 
@::Grabs his duffel bag from the sofa and slings it onto his shoulder.::  Computer:  Computer, what is the time on Arcadia Station?

CTO Ens Murphy 
::In the Station Security, setting up her new office, going over duty rosters, and arranging all the Security details for the Cygnus and the Station::

Tessa Jakiel 
::walks along beside her husband, Quon, on the promenade, still parts of it under construction but not too many obstacles but the main hallway mostly cleared::

@<Computer> TO: Station time is 1205 hours.

CO Capt Bodine
::the turbo-lift slows the cart doors open he walks down the corridor a short distance passing through the double re-enforced Engineering doors::

TO Ens Thalataar 
@::Grumbles softly.::  Self:  I must hurry to the station.  ::Leaves his quarters and heads for the nearest transporter room.::

Tessa Jakiel 
Quon: So where would you like to try first?  I'm glad to finally see this place.  ::walks up to a kiosk with a listing of the shops and starts to look it over::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Sends a copy of the Skeleton duty roster over to the Cygnus so the Security team there will know their duties and shifts::

TO Ens Thalataar 
@::Arrives at the transporter room and enters it.  He nods to the transporter chief.:: Chief:  One to be beamed over to Arcadia Station.

@<Transporter Chief> TO:  Right away.  ::Adjusts some of the controls on the console.::

So`Quon Giraldi 
::walks beside Tessa, holding hands with her, nodding with a warm, if not 'loose' smile:: Tessa: I was considering taking you up on that offer to go to the bath house. You said it was run by Andorians? Do you think they'll accept clients that are actively... ::says mentally:: ~~~molting?~~~ ::embarrassed slightly::

TO Ens Thalataar 
@::Steps onto the transporter pad with his bag.  He nods to the officer in front of him.::  Chief: Commence transport.

CO Capt Bodine
::moves to the central interface in main engineering that connects command and control systems in engineering to the main computer core, John places his palm on the biometric hand scanner::

@<Transporter Chief> ::Initiates the transport of Ensign Thalataar.::

Tessa Jakiel 
::smiles and chuckles, squeezing his scaly hand and feels the loose skin::  Yes, I believe they would.  ~~~You know how I like to help...~~~  ::looks up at her tall husband and winks::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Starts working on the duty roster for the Station Security now::

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: Activate Authentication verification, and the command system install program. Activate Secure Subspace Link with Starfleet headquarters. Read Bio scan confirmation with Starfleet Medical. Recognize John Edgemoor Bodine. Confirm?

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Materializes in the transporter room on the station.  He smiles briefly and steps off the elevated pad and exits the room.::  Computer:  Computer, where is Captain Bodine located?

So`Quon Giraldi 
::tries not to look too embarrassed, taking in the sights and fresh smells coming from the various shops and restaurants:: Tessa:: Look there... ::points:: ...the Imperial Fez? Interesting. Must've just opened up today. There's already a line waiting to get inside. I wonder what food they serve.

<Computer> TO: Captain Bodine is in Main Engineering.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Nods.:: Self:  Excellent.  ::Quickens his pace towards a turbolift.::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::When he arrives and enters one of the turbolifts, he instructs the computer to take him up to level two.::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Notes an alert on her Security panel that someone is accessing the Computer core and monitors it::

CSO Ens Jeq 
::in a turbolift reading a PADD of the new shops that have opened up on Arcadia II::

Tessa Jakiel 
Quon: Hmmm, some type of Morrocan meal from Earth.  I never tried that the time I lived on Earth.   ::meanders over to take a look at the menu and then laughs softly::  You sit on cushions and eat with your hands.  Sounds to the liking of Klingons.

<Computer> CO: Accessing Information ... Identity Confirmed Awaiting further input.

CIV Capt Regnum 
::sits in his quarters reading an old novel::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Waits for the turbolift to take him up the few levels and when it finally draws to a halt, he exits the confined space and heads towards the Main Engineering of the station.::

CSO Ens Jeq 
::thinks that she will hit up the new Spider Web bar for a few games of dabo::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Enters the Main Engineering and looks around for the Captain.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::finally exits his new office and stretches::

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: Access assignment from Starfleet Command 981117-002-01-15. Installl New Command Codes at Level 10 Clearance. I hereby assume my post as Commander of Arcadia Station Refit under starfleet order. Identified by passphrase Bodine Zeta Three Nine Alpha.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Hears the Captain doing something out at one of the computer modules.  He walks over to him and waits for him to be done what he is doing.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::enters the TL and nods to the unfamiliar crew of the station::

So`Quon Giraldi 
Tessa: It sounds...intriguing. They are planning to offer free belly dancing lessons soon, according to the sign. ::grins::

<Computer> CO: Your command is verified command codes installed.. Process complete. ::the console goes dark and deactivates::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::taps his commbadge::*CO*: Rome to Captain Bodine.

Tessa Jakiel 
Quon: Oh, I would like to try that...well, after I don't have so much belly to move around.  ::puts her hand to her pregnant belly as she feels a particularly energetic kick::  Self: Oooh...  Quon:  There she goes again.  I think our little one doesn't like to be confined.

CO Capt Bodine
::takes his hand off the biometric hand reader and turns to face the TO:: TO: Ensign?

CSO Ens Jeq 
::sits down at the bar upon second thought and asks for a drink from the bartender::

TO Ens Thalataar 
CO:  Greetings Captain.  ::Nods slightly.::  I wonder if I may have clearance to enter Cargo Bay Two on Level Seven.  I am expecting an important shipment at any moment now.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::steps out of the TL on the correct level and starts walking down the main promenade, smiling at eager new officers::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::starts heading for the bar::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Decides to leave setting up the office for later. Leaves the on-duty Security to monitor things and starts a walking inspection tour of the habitable areas of the station. Makes sure to get her new Commbadge and a phaser before she leaves Security::

CO Capt Bodine
::frowns:: TO: Can't it wait ensign?

CIV Capt Regnum 
::leaves and decides to head to the Spider Web for a drink::

CO Capt Bodine
TO: Hold that thought.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::decides the Captain must be busy, and steps into the Spider web for a drink::

CO Capt Bodine
*XO*: What is it commander?

TO Ens Thalataar 
CO:  Unfortunately not, Captain.  ::Thinks for a moment and then stops as the Captain tells him to wait.::

So`Quon Giraldi 
::can 'feel' a gentle, mental sensation coming from Tessa's tummy, and he smiles, rubbing a hand over Tessa's stomach, trying to resist the urge of making Kressarian equivalent "goo-goo" to it:: Tessa: Let's relax our minds and bodies at the bathhouse, shall we?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::stops and smiles at the timing:: *CO*: Just wondering sir if you would be needing me for the remainder of the shift, I finished organizing the new shift arrangements and plan on taking some time off and have a drink.

CO Capt Bodine
*XO*: No commander, just make your way down to Main Engineering to verify your assignment and command authority to the new computer core. You won't have access to advanced command functions without installing your personal codes and voice print.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
*CO*: I will sir.

Tessa Jakiel 
::Nods, happy to be going to the spa::  Quon: You can 'hear' her?  ::is a little surprised and 'concentrates', finally sensing her little one inside::  Yes, I'm looking forward to relaxing in the water and get off my feet.  Tomorrow I think I need to catch up with Dr Trillian Zeller.  I just read a message from her and she said she had something.

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Bites on his lip a little bit as he tries to wait as patiently as he can.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::walks into the bar and orders a double latté::

Tessa Jakiel 
Quon:  Something to give me and information about a Sinjin and his genetics.  I didn't have time to look at the file she sent yet.

CO Capt Bodine
TO: Well if it truly is that important Ensign I will trust you at your word. You may go down there, but please don't get in the SCE's way I don't want to hear about it. I will tell them you are coming.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Takes the TL to the uppermost level habitable and starts taking the corridors one-by-one, looking at everything on the level before proceeding tot he next one::

TO Ens Thalataar 
CO:  They will hardly know that I am there.  ::Nods slightly to the Captain.::  Good day, sir.  ::Leaves the Captain's presence and out of engineering.::

CIV Capt Regnum 
Computer: Computer, please locate Captain Bodine

So`Quon Giraldi 
::slowly walks with Tessa to the W'rleytha Bath House:: Tessa: Yes, I heard that the details of the Cygnus' mission was classified. I'm sure she'll have much to share with you.

CSO Ens Jeq 
::sees a small Andorian boy standing around near the bar and waves him over:: Boy: Hey, kid. See that ugly-looking guy over there? Yeah, the one with the messed-up face? Tell him to come over to the bar. 

<Andorian boy> Jeq: Uh... okay... ::is a little freaked out by the tall Trill woman speaking so crudely but does what she said and walks over to the XO::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Arrives to the turbolift and instructs it to take him down to level seven.  He stands back and waits as the lift takes him down several levels.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::takes his coffee and brings it to his nose:: Self: I've been waiting all day for this.

<Andorian boy> ::walks up to the XO:: XO: Um, excuse me, sir... but a woman wants to see you at the bar... A Trill woman, sir...

<Computer> CIV: Captain Bodine is in Main Engineering

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::feels a tug on his uniform pants and looks down at the boy talking to him, then looks across the room at Jeq:: Boy: Did she now....well thank you so much for telling me. ::smiles and pats him on the head, then turns to walks towards Jeq::

TO Ens Thalataar 
::After a minute or so, he finally arrives to the appropriate level and exits the lift.  He then heads towards Cargo Bay Two.::

<Andorian boy> ::cringes as his antennae are squashed lightly, but smiles anyway:: XO: Sure thing... ow...

Tessa Jakiel 
::comes to the entrance of the Andorian bath house::  Quon:  Ahhh, I can feel the humidity from here, and the warmth.  ::a female Andorian lowers her head and antennae for a quick bow and greets them, asking them to follow::  I have a lot to catch up on.  ~~~A private bath to peel you down, my Beloved?~~~

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Continues her walking tour of the station::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::walks up to Jeq and grins:: CSO: This seat taken?

CO Capt Bodine
::exits Main Engineering back to the turbo-lift::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Yes. By a guy uglier than you.

CSO Ens Jeq 
::smirks as she sips her drink::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Too bad for him, I'm the XO. ::takes the seat::

CIV Capt Regnum 
Self: Engineering eh... ::enters the turbolift and heads to Engineering::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: My point was... no one can possibly be uglier than you, Baldy... 

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Arrives at the Cargo Bay and presses a few buttons on the wall panel to open the doors.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Watch it....the hair is starting to come back.

CO Capt Bodine
Self: the turbo-lift is taking its time

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Then I'll just have to think up another name for you when it does. Until then... you're still bald. ::smiles::

So`Quon Giraldi 
::hisses his deep pleasure at the thought of yet another assisted molt:: ~~~Tessa: Truly you suffer my biological functions well, Imzadi.~~~ ::follows her inside and arranges full therapeutic treatments for them both, as well as some private sauna space::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::laughs, then takes a sip of his coffee and leans into the seat:: CSO: You settled in ?

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Enters the Cargo Bay and looks around a bit.  He then walks over to one of the computer terminals and initiates the comm.  After a few moments, a male Antican's face appears on the monitor.::

CIV Capt Regnum 
::exits the lift into Engineering::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: No. But I don't have much.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Spartan is in this fall anyway. ::grins::

Tessa Jakiel 
~~~Quon: Mmmmm, I like what it uncovers....~~~  :: she let's her pleasure 'infuse' him::  Oh, how did your inspection of the arboretum go this morning?  I am most curious to see what it looks like.

<Captain Reg> COM: TO:  Tellarite!  It's about time you contacted me.  Any longer and you would have been without your cargo.

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Yeah, I guess... I think I'll be leaving this place soon anyway... might go back to school... for yet another degree... might transfer somewhere else or leave Starfleet altogether, I'm not sure yet... ::takes a swig::

CO Capt Bodine
::the lift finally comes after several minutes of waiting he steps inside::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Never took you for a quitter. ::sips of his drink::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: I once fancied the thought of being a world-class dabo competitor.

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Or poker... but I figured it wouldn't pay much if I found someone better than me.

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Decides to forego the TL and uses the Jeffries Tubes to go between decks for her inspections, checking the whole station out::

CIV Capt Regnum 
::looks around in engineering for the Captain, a bit confused that he can't find him:: Computer: Computer, I thought you said the Captain was in Engineering?

TO Ens Thalataar 
COM: Reg: And had you left with my cargo, you would have had to answer to some of the Federation's highest advisors!  ::Grumbles slightly.::  Here are the coordinates.  ::Enters the data on his console which is relayed to the Antican.::

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: Computer, I am looking for a place to eat, suggestions? ::feels weird that he does not know his own station::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: But the station is nice enough. This bar is pretty snazzy. You get all types in here... Lots of diversity, like that messenger I sent to you. ::smirks::

So`Quon Giraldi 
Tessa: The Terran and Bolian plant species we imported mingle well, in spite of the pH differences. Though only time will tell how well the Evissam species will progress.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::smiles:: CSO: It seems nice, I like the chairs.

<Computer>CO: Two new restaurants recently opened for business on the promenade. They are: "The Strawberry Tea House" and "Imperial Fez Restaurant"

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Yeah...

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Continues a tour on the second level::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::finishes his coffee:: CSO: I need to stop by engineering, want to join me for an impromptu inspection?

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Why do that? We're on shoreleave.

<Computer> CIV: He was at the time of your last enquire 5 minutes 13 seconds ago

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Well, yes....but I need to see engineering. ::grins::

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: You're a nerd, that's what.

Tessa Jakiel 
Quon:  Evissam...that poor lonely planet.  ::becomes a little serious::  There was a time on that planet that I truly wondered if we would ever get off.  ::shivers a little, then resumes her smile:: But we did.  The bath first and then massage.  Those soft scales will need some stimulation.  ::gives Quon a 'peek' at her thoughts for the evening::

CIV Capt Regnum 
::after walking around walks to the other lift and hits the console button to call for the lift::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::smiles and stands up:: CSO: Maybe, science queen.

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: Get a few drinks down ya and you'll be fun enough to play dabo with.

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: I never said I liked science...

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: Take me to the nearest access point for The Strawberry Tea House.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::winks at her:: CSO: Well not my problem. ::laughs:: I'm off.

<Captain Reg> COM: TO:  Your Federation almost put me out of business.  But I made it on my own.  I don't need them.

CSO Ens Jeq 
XO: See ya.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
CSO: Indeed.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::smiles and turns around and heads for the exit, stopping for the occasional salute::

TO Ens Thalataar 
COM: Reg: Nasty fur-thing!  Stop your bickering and give me my cargo!  ::Growls into the monitor.::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Making notes on the layout of things that will be useful in designing drills for her people later::

CO Capt Bodine
::sees Regnum Exits Main Engineering and press the call button for a lift on the opposite end of the corridor:: CIV: Vic! ::but the order was given already his own lift doors snap shut and he is rocketed away::

CIV Capt Regnum 
::enters the empty lift again:: Computer: Computer, take me wherever Captain Bodine has gone off to now.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::calls for the next TL::

<Captain Reg> COM: TO:  Nasty fur-thing!?  Maybe I should just leave with your cargo after all!  ::Is about to close the channel.::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
TL: Main Engineering.

TO Ens Thalataar 
COM: Reg: The Federation is compensating you more than enough for this.  Just transport what I need and we will be done for now.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::leans against the wall of the car, enjoying the fact that he is finally on the station::

<Computer> ::chimes to the CIV in affirmation and the lift speeds off to the promenade near The Strawberry Tea House""

ACTION: The CO's lift abruptly looses power in the middle of the shaft, but the lift itself holds. Likewise, the CIV's life loose power in the very next shaft, directly across from the CO.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::feels his TL car take a sharp turn all off a sudden and almost falls to the floor::

<Captain Reg> COM: TO: Nothing is worth this.  ::Hisses into the screen and then he activates the transport.::

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: What is the nature of this malfunction?

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::walks out of the TL kind of shaky from that ride and makes a mental note to let Karri take the system apart::

ACTION: The CO's lift powers up again, and moves up, then stops, then goes down, then up again, and down, and...

CIV Capt Regnum 
::shouts::Self: I'm Blind!!! I'm Blind!!! oh wait, just lost power

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::enters Main Engineering and smiles to the engineering officers he knows, then stops at the correct station and places his hand on the biometric scanner::

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: Halt turbolift!

CO Capt Bodine
*Operations*: Operations! There is a problem in the turbolift, near Main Engineering,  requesting emergency beam out now, this is the Captain!

ACTION: The CIV's lift dangerously rockets upward at twice the normal speed.

CIV Capt Regnum 
Self: Torpedoes Away... Wait a minute, I'm the Torpedo... Computer: Computer STOP!

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Waits for the transport to complete and then he goes over to pad and opens the container to inspect its contents.::  Self:  Excellent.  It is here.  ::Returns to the console.:: COM: Reg:  It was a pleasure doing business with you Captain.  Expect a message from my superiors shortly.  Thalataar out.  ::Presses a button on the console to close the channel::

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Continues her walking tour of the station::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
Computer: Computer, Access assignment from Starfleet Command 1041204-001-1. Installl New Command Codes at Level 9 Clearance. I hereby assume my post as Executive Officer of Arcadia Station Refit under Starfleet order. Identified by passphrase Rome alpha zero zero niner.

CIV Capt Regnum 
*Engineering*: Regnum to Main Engineering, Did I enter a turbolift or a torpedo tube?

ACTION: The CIV's lift shows on a monitor that it is about to crash into Level 1. The CO's lift suddenly stops, and then simply free-falls.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::taps his badge as he hears Regnum's message:: *CIV*: Regnum, this is Rome. What is the problem?

TO Ens Thalataar 
::Returns to the container and then gets an antigrav unit to move it to a more secure area of the cargo bay until he was going to be able to use the cargo.::

CO Capt Bodine
::loses his stomach the free fall gives him the illusion of zero G::

CIV Capt Regnum 
*XO*: The Turbolift is going up, very fast, and I'm pretty sure it's running out of tube

XO LtCmdr Rome 
Computer: Computer! Lock down all TL traffic, full stop station wise!

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::looks around at the engineers, looking at each other, no idea what is going on::

CO Capt Bodine
Computer: Open a comm channel to both Operations and Engineering. *ENG/OPS*:This is the Captain I need a beam out of the lift I am in now, I doubt I have much time left!

XO LtCmdr Rome 
All: Transport everyone out of those TL's !

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::stands in the middle of engineering, yelling and for a moment feels right back at home::

ACTION: At bottom and top of their respective lift shafts, loud, devastating crashes ripple through parts of the station. The CO and CIV, however, finds themselves materializing on a small transporter pad in OPS.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::feels the vibration::

XO LtCmdr Rome 
*CIV*: Regnum.....you still there?

CO Capt Bodine
::looks at Vic:: CIV: Let me guess lift failure?

CIV Capt Regnum 
::looks down instinctively checking to make sure all his parts are still there, then around and notices the CO:: CO: Yeah, you too?

CTO Ens Murphy 
::Feels the shudder in the deckplates and runs to the nearest monitor to check on what happened::

CIV Capt Regnum 
*XO*: Yeah, thanks for the beamout, thought I was a goner there.

CO Capt Bodine
*XO*: We are both alright Commander, I want to know what happened yesterday commander.

CO Capt Bodine
*XO*: And commander find out whoever got us out of those lifts put them in for a commendation.

XO LtCmdr Rome 
::lets out a breath:: *CIV*: Good to hear it Captain. *CO*: Understood sir, I'll have the teams down here in Engineering work doubleshifts until this is fixed.

CIV Capt Regnum 
CO: Well at least I found you, I've been chasing you around the station for the last 15 minutes

XO LtCmdr Rome 
*CO*: Aye sir. And good you're safe.

CO Capt Bodine
CIV: Lets chat, the ready room is just off to the left here.

CIV Capt Regnum 
CO: You read my mind, I could use a chair to sit in after that ride
