Previously on Arcadia: 

A Ferengi vessel was heavily damaged near the station and was limping to the station for repairs, their assailant, unknown.
 
Unfortunately, before the ship could dock and power down, it's core went critical, and Arcadia was forced to evacuate the ship by transporter, unfortunately not all could be saved, including one human who was aboard trying to conduct field repairs.
 
The Ferengi Captain was quite distraught, going on about invisible demons when the station was rocked by weapons fire

There have been no sign of the attackers on sensors, only the blasts of the weapons which quickly took main power offline
 
There is no power to the turbolifts, and main lighting is offline. After several blasts there was a blast that was detected to be within the shield perimeter which took out the shields and through fractures across the hull

One final blast took place 1 meter from the hull, but it curiously did not seem to be aimed at the station but away from it, nevertheless the blast caused a hull breach on Level 12, and in the rocking of the station on the impact the XO was flung against the wall, knocking her unconscious.
 
The CO is in a Jeffries tube, attempting to make his way to Station Operations.

CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: gets up off the floor after being tossed on her behind, cursing ::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::climbing the never ending, or so it seems, stairwell upwards towards Operations:: Self: This was so much easier when I was in shape....at least I was in these tubes daily...::takes a deeps breath as he strains himself:: when I was an Engineer.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::climbs through more Jeffries tubes, on his way to Operations::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::arrives at the correct exit and tries to input the code to unlock::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: looks up at the ceiling :: All: When I find out who did this........
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: starts checking around engineering to make sure everyone is ok ::
 
ACTION: Sensors detect an explosion, 4 kilometers from the station, strangely aimed at nothing, no damage to the station this time.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::starts banging on the hatch:: Outloud: Someone open this blasted hatch! It's offline!
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::pushes out of a Jeffries tube into Ops::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::gets up and dusts himself off; walks to a sensor console as it beeps, indicating an explosion near the station::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::opens the Actuator controls and pumps the door open and crawls through, taking a few deep breaths as he gets to his feet:: FCO: REPORT!
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::thinks he needs to lay off the danish with his Raktajino::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::surveys the CO doubtfully:: CO: There was an explosion, sir... 1 meter from the station. The blast was not directed at the station. Hull breaches on Level 12, emergency force fields are in place.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: begins assessing the damage reports coming in and curses again. Seals of the breached area on deck 12 and begins to send out repair teams ::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Communications?
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: Offline.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::sits down in his seat and tries to bring his console online:: FCO: If I know Spanner, she's already doing what needs to be done. But I do need external comms.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::bangs his flickering arm console::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: takes herself over to the communications console and begins to attempt repair ::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::checks the sensor grid:: CO: Why? There are no ships in our vicinity.
 
OPS Ens Gye
CO: Attempting to route COMM systems through the auxiliary BUS ::attempt to get comms back online even if its just partial::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Trusting your eyes in battle is not always wise. Someone attacked us.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: There was an additional explosion, Commander... approximately four kilometers from the station... no damage.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
OPS: Good, keep me posted.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::stands up and walks over to the helm station and glances over his shoulder::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: What's our shield and weapon status?
 
ACTION: 4 more quick explosions, all between 4 and 6 km away from the station, all seeming aimed at nothing at all.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::checking the console and tapping some buttons:: CO: Shields are offline... as is Main Power. This means we have minimal weapons capacity.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: takes her tools and gets under the console to do some repairs :: Self: I hate when someone messes crap up and I have to fix it. I had it all purring like a kitten and what happens.......:: trails off mumbling ::
 
<EO Fxit> CEO: Sir....
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Launch all support craft, I want them to create a defensive perimeter.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: The Spacedock doors are closed.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: hits her head on the bottom of the console and curses again :: EO: I swear Deno, one of these days I'm going to nail you ears to the floor.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
OPS: Ensign, try and get some message out to the nearest Starfleet vessel. Make it a top priority.
 
<EO Fxit> CEO: Sorry Sir, but, I just want to let you know that team one and two are working on shields and teams 4 and 6 are after the hull breach.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Get them open. ::smiles:: With your record, Lieutenant, that's an easy task.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: nods at the EO :: EO: Ok Deno, you keep running between everyone until I can get this mess fixed and COM's back up.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: Perhaps you didn't hear me correctly, Commander... Main power is offline.
 
ACTION: More explosions, about one every 4 seconds, none of them hit the station, but one of them is 900 meters away, the rest are all between 1 and 5 kilometers away
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Improvise!
 
<EO Fxit> CEO: Aye Sir.
 
OPS Ens Gye
CO: I think perhaps getting on top of the comm dish in an EVA with a flashlight for a signal might have better results sir .. I will do what I can of course.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::looks incredulously at the CO:: CO: It is not there! The power to open the doors simply is not there!
 
CO Cmdr Rome
OPS: Ensign....the Cygnus, is it undamaged? Can we get a signal to them somehow? Have them beam us over?
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Then we blast them open, lieutenant.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: And have Spanner's repair crews hovering around in my Spacedock for four months? No. We'll find another way.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Then improvise.
 
OPS Ens Gye
CO: It might work should I try and get over to her sir? I don't know why I didn't think of that first .. That must be why they give you the big bucks sir.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
Self: Yes!!!!
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::smiles:: OPS: Try what you can, ensign.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: taps her com badge :: *CO* Captain, I believe you have communications now. Let OPS know.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: For the record, we discussed launching the Cygnus with Commander Harker, and decided it was not in the best interests of the crew or the station.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Last time I checked I was in Command, Ensign.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: I did not challenge your command, sir, I merely stated a fact. Also for the record, my full rank is that of Lieutenant.
 
OPS Ens Gye
::tries one last thing:: CO:Sir I got comms online, through auxiliary ODN lines. Main is still down so we can only do an in system hail from here ... but ...
 
OPS Ens Gye
::opens a COMM line to the Cygnus computer::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: waits on a response ::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
OPS: Why don't you just access the computer through optical? Cygnus is docked at Tiers B, the umbilical are attached.
 
INFO: Cygnus reports fully operational
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*CEO*: Good to hear your voice, Commander. Get space doors open.
 
OPS Ens Gye
*Cygnus*: One to beam up, directly to the main bridge. Authorization. Ensign Thehi Guy, Acting Senior Operations Officer.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO* I'll get right on that Sir. We'll get them open even if I have to go and push them open myself.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*CEO*: Keep me informed. Also the whole core issue. I need power up here. Get your main team on it.
 
ACTION: the OPS officer is beamed to the Cygnus bridge

CO Cmdr Rome
::Watches the OPS officer get transported away::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::typing rapidly on the console:: CO: I'm going to reverse the magnetic polarity of the seal at the Spacedock Doors. That should thrust them apart with just enough momentum...
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Also the Cygnus might be able to help using their tractor beam.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: after being informed of the power drain by Deno Fxit, she traces the drain and begins to reroute power around it, telling herself that she will see what is causing it later ::
 
OPS Ens Gye
@Computer: Bring all main systems on.. belay that requesting external sensors only keep all other power and main systems at minimum. ::moves to science one::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: That'd be risky; let's try this first. ::typing some more::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*Cygnus*: Cygnus come in.
 
ACTION: Lights on the station come back online, main power to 46%
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::nods at Ryushi::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::hears the hum and looks around as lights come back on::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
Self: Almost there......:: sticks her tongue out the side of her mouth ::
 
INFO: Turbolifts, transporters, weapons back online, shields still down
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::stops working, frustrated that power comes back online just as he develops a solution:: CO: Opening Spacedock doors, Now...
 
OPS Ens Gye
@*CO*: Still docked the Cygnus looks fine so far. I have brought the main sensor pallets online. You want to try and get a distress out or do a sensor sweep first?
 
SCENE: A number of explosions are still taking place, but none of them are directly effecting the station
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: finishes re routing around the power drain and goes to see what else she has ::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*OPS*: You're in command over there Ensign, get it all done. Launch the ship.
 
INFO: Station Power to 71%
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
::notices the shields are still down :: Self: Hmmmm, now why would the shields still be down......
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::sees his arm console turn on:: Self: Good job Karri..
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
*OPS*: Ensign, clear your departure with Spacedock Control. And don't bang up the inside of my Spacedock.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@Self: going outside the station would get the ship noticed he must be crazy .. I bet the docking clamps don't even work ...
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: begins to look at the damage :: Self: Ahh, I see it now...... *Fxit* Deno, get team 8 over here, I want to get our shields back up.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@Self: Don't bang up the .. ::attempts to Mock the sound of the FCO::
 
INFO: Docking clamps work fine, it's as if the station wants the poor OPS officer to crazily leave the station.
 
ACTION: Explosion at 200 meters, it's shockwave rocks the station
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*OPS*: Ensign Gye, those explosions are getting quite close....anything on sensors?
 
OPS Ens Gye
@Computer: Can I operate the Cygnus with just myself on board? ::has not done this since academy simulations::
 
INFO: Nothing on sensors except the explosions
 
OPS Ens Gye
@CO: Yes there are explosions on the sensors ...
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: In case you wondered, Commander, the station’s sensors show nothing, aside from the explosions.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: grabs hold of a console :: Outloud: Quit blowing stuff up!!!! Self: Damn! Worse than that trigger happy CTO. :: shakes her head and goes back to repairing the shields ::
 
<Computer> @OPS: Solely operating the Cygnus is possible but only by skilled operators, your attempt to operate the ship alone is inadvisable.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Space door status ?
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: The Spacedock Doors are open.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
FCO: Launch all support craft, set up a defense perimeter and start scanning the space around. Also beam over and take command of the Cygnus. I can handle it from here.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@Computer: Yeah tell me something I don't know .. I have my orders bring all main systems online and prepare to clear mooring clamps. Bring main power to full.
 
ACTION: There is an explosion at 50 meters, this one aimed at the station, but seemed to detonate early as if it hit something, and another shockwave hits the station, knocking the 1% shields that the CEO had restored back out.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::grabs his chair as the station rocks::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
CO: Aye. Support craft are in the process of being launched.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: feels the shockwave and the access hatch slams on her finger :: Self: Sonofa......:: sticks the injured finger in her mouth for a second ::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::stands and moves behind his chair:: Computer: Computer, site-to-site transport, destination is the USS Cygnus, bridge; Energize.
 
ACTION: There is another detonation... this time INSIDE the station, on level 4, it originated and detonated inside the station, vaporizing 2 dozen people, power is knocked back offline for a few
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
Outloud: I said QUIT blowing things up! Quit...as in cease, desist, don't do it....no no!!!!!
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::falls out of his chair:: Self: Damnit!
 
OPS Ens Gye
@::takes at seat at helm:: Computer: Slave all command functions to the Conn. COM: Arcadia Flight Ops this is the USS Cygnus I have orders to take her out clear all traffic and release umbilicals.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::watches the shimmering form of the FCO hoping the transport will be successful::
 
ACTION: Almost everyone is knocked to the floor.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: is knocked off her feet :: Outloud: So...that's the way it's going to be huh?...FINE!....it's on now!!!
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::takes the main station, scanning::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
::lingers in purgatory while the transporter takes its time::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: gets up off the floor and tries to get main power back online ::
 
ACTION: The transporter beam on both sides fluctuates wildly, and for a few it looks like the transport might splinch the FCO, but slowly the FCO materializes on the Cygnus bridge
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: watches as the power slowly stabilizes ::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@::materializes, does a Picard maneuver on his uniform, and turns to face the front of the bridge:: OPS: Report.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@::removes his hand from the transporter controls:: FCO: The computer started to scream and I looked and there you where in the buffer. It almost lost your pattern sir ..
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::opens all hailing frequencies:: COM: All FRQ: This is the Federation Starbase Arcadia. Please stop these attacks immediately.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
Self: ...thinks their just going to waltz in here and start screwing with my stuff....no sir....:: walks over and begins to repair the shields again and send some of team 8 to do the same ::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@::looks annoyed:: OPS: Report... on the status of the vessel, Ensign.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@FCO: ship seems fine nothing conclusive on scans I was just about to broadcast general distress call.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
Self: They don't know me very well....all they're doing is pissing me off ...:: grumbles some more ::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@::looks at the chronometer on a nearby console:: Computer: Computer, make a note in the log, at this time, I am assuming command of this vessel.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@::attempts to open a priority subspace relay::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: Get us out of the Spacedock first. Are you a fair pilot?
 
OPS Ens Gye
@FCO: in simulations ..
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: You've never piloted a starship before?
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::leans on the main console, watching the big red dot covering Level 4 and sighs:: COM: ALL FRQ: Please stop these attacks, we are defenseless. By Inter galactic law, I request you lay down arms and show yourself.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@FCO: No sir .
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
:: attempts to put up forcefields around the breaches, all of her engineers are stretched to their thinnest trying to get everything in minimal working order ::
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
Self: THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE MESSING WITH!!!!!!! :: looks at the ceiling yelling ::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*CEO*: Spanner, I need Level 4 sealed off now! Get rescue teams on location, we have massive injuries.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO* Working on that as we speak Captain.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: Well, you're about to get a crash course. ::turns and sits in the big chair:: Docking clamps are released, we have clearance to depart. Bring us about, ahead 1/3, thrusters only.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@::nearly forgets to detach the umbilicals when he moves the ship away from port::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::starts sending a Level 1 distress signal on Starfleet channels and brings up the Short range scanner readouts::
 
OPS Ens Gye
@::pushes a button:: FCO: oops almost forgot about those ..
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: Spare us the details and just pilot the ship.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*CEO*: Spanner....from these readouts, there was some kind of an unexplained power drain on our systems...did you find our where it came from??
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO* It's sealed off. I've got every engineer that's on this station working their behinds off Sir. We'll get a handle on it.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO* Oh, I found it Sir and routed power around it.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@::maneuvers the Cygnus away from Arcadia trying to look out from astro navigational hazards::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*CEO*: Is it still draining? What I mean, are we still losing power or is this thing still online draining us?
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: Notify me when we clear the Spacedock.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO* I'll check Sir..... :: taps at her console ::
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::ideas racing through his mind, thinking that power drain had something to do with the explosion::
 
OPS Ens Gye
@FCO: Sir spacedock cleared... and you can activate the main viewer from your arm chair there in case you want to check the display before asking another stupid question ... sir ..
 
ACTION: A dozen explosions out in space, the computer detects them as being a recognizable attack pattern, yet there seems to be no target
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
CO: It's still there Sir, but, I have the majority rerouted around it so that we are at least functional. I suggest that we make sure that ALL non essential systems are completely powered down.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
CEO: Karri....is there a possibility that this drain and these explosions are somehow linked?
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::Starts scanning the Cygnus for a power drain::
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: You will not speak to superior officer in that manner again. Is that understood, Ensign?
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO* Anything is possible Captain. I don't know if I'll be able to trace it to its source, but I can sure as hell try.
 
OPS Ens Gye
@FCO: Perfectly clear sir.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Lieutenant Ryushi, please check your systems for a power drain. Immediately.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@OPS: Good. Move us into a defensive orbit around the station. Maintain 1/2 impulse.
 
OPS Ens Gye
::thinks: maybe he should not have attempted to retrieve that displaced pattern in the transporter::
 
ACTION: More weapons fire, from nowhere to nowhere, seeming aimed at the empty space where the previous shots came from, and these new discharges don't match the previous discharges in weapons signature.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@::hears the comm and walks over to the operations console, checking...:: COM: Arcadia: CO: Standby.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
::watches the weapons fire, his mind racing::
 
OPS Ens Gye
@FCO: Aye sir establishing orbit at 20km
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*CEO*: Karri....I want you to prepare cutting all main power on a seconds notice.
 
CEO LtCmdr Spanner
*CO*: Ok Jonathan. I'll be ready.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
@COM: Arcadia: CO: I am not detecting a power drain at this time, Commander. All systems are functioning within normal parameters.
 
CO Cmdr Rome
*FCO*: Keep an eye on it....if it pops up, inform me immediately.
 
FCO Lt Ryushi
COM: Arcadia: CO: Aye, sir. Cygnus out. ::sets an alarm threshold on the operations console, to sound an alert if main power fluctuates at all::
 
ACTION: There is a minor explosion on the bridge of the Cygnus, inside the skull of the OPS officer, blowing him to smithereens, portions of his skull strike the FCO like shrapnel, moments later another blast occurs in the Cygnus' port nacelle, causing the ship to spiral out of control....
