Previously on Arcadia: 

The Arcadia Crew has saved themselves against attack from the alternate dimension
 
The final act to stop them in their assault was Captain Rome ordering the Lieutenant Murphy to fire the weapons provided by Barpa. The weapons were as effective against the aliens in the alternate dimension, as they were against the Cygnus (and more since the Cygnus was able to aim effectively)
 
The Cygnus has returned to Arcadia and is being repaired
 
Meanwhile the U.S.S. Narias has come to the Station, with orders to ferry the senior staff (with Captain Rome and Lieutenant Murphy under guard) to Earth
 
Where the two of them are to stand trial for the use of Subspace Weapons, banned by the Second Khitomer Accords
 
The crew is on their way to earth now, hearts heavy with both recent events, and the looming despair of what is to come.

Captain Jonathan Rome
::offers her a seat::
 
XO Cmdr Harker

Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: The Captain of this vessel brought me this earlier you know.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Seems someone supports my decision to fire those bloody things.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Nice Skipper here I'm still finding it hard though to think of an alternate plan in the time we had
 
CMO Ens Maui
::takes her attention away from her reports long enough to say:: Door: enter.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::takes a sip:: XO: There was no other plan Paige.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::pokes his head in not coming in just yet:: CMO: Busy?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: I had hoped there would be, that we'd find it time but we just ran out of time...::She glares frustrated into her glass.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Yeah.....I know. Sucks doesn't it. ::swirls the liquid in his glass and takes a sip::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Never enough time, what was it they say space travel is 99 percent boredom and 1 percent sheer terror?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::chuckles::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: I could go for some boredom myself.
 
CIV CWO Ashiba
::heads toward sickbay::
 
CTO Lt Murphy
::Grabs a snack from the replicator and goes back to reading the PADD::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Yeah it does seem like we get more than our fair share.
 
CMO Ens Maui
::sets the pad aside:: OPS: not really come in how are you feeling?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: It'll work out Skipper, the Brass can't be that dense...::pause:: ok ok they can but let’s hope not ::Smile::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Aye...
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: I'm just glad you opposed me on that -like my report says-.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::enters:: CMO: Pretty good considering. Some pain yet still but it just proves I really am still alive. Thanks in no small part to you I am sure.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Don't tell anyone to be honest I was hoping another plan would occur that would save us and prevent this whole mess...
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: You opposing me was the right thing Paige, that's why you're not on trial here. You should be glad. ::smiles and squeezes her shoulder::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::nods sadly::CO: I gambled and it didn't work, far as I can tell and I'll confirm this with the CTO but without those weapons....
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::steps off the TL on Deck 11 and enters Main Engineering, walking slowly around the room... almost "inspecting" the working crew::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::takes a sip:: XO: We did the right thing...I think. But that's for the tribunal to decide isn't it.
 
CMO Ens Maui
OPS: Just doing my job ::smiles:: come sit this must be strange for you being a witness to something you didn't really see happen.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Nods and drinks::CO: Aye I suppose so.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO:Want togo on a walkabout? they tell me you can if you take your bookends.::gestures outside the door...

::Goes over her copy of the Tactical data and telemetry from the ships Flight Data Recorder reviewing the incident in every detail, making sure she has every single event down and committed to memory::

XO Cmdr Harker
CO: I've been reviewing the case and the incident for the past 6 hours, I could use a break if you feel up for it?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: That would be great...I didn't want to go out there alone matter of fact, these young faces keep staring at me with a mixture of awe and fear...::chuckles:: Remember when we were that young and one pipped?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: You kidding? I can't remember jg that well and I wonder if I was ever that young ::Smiles and finishes the drink::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: I don no that Psi attack seemed plenty real enough. Just between us it has lead to nightmares. Though I would appreciate you keep that to yourself I would rather not be called into the counselors office.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::takes a seat::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::smiles and stands up to retrieve a dress jacket::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: You were younger when we first met.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: yeah life was clearer then. Shoot the bad guys, protect the federation.::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Sometimes I miss being a tac officer, hauling drunks off to the brig, repeling boarders...good times...
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Stands with the Captain::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: So you think the Captain has a good chance of getting off?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: I actually miss the grease....I used to love spending afternoons under a console in Engineering, there was always some crisis afoot. ::smiles as they head for the door::
 
CMO Ens Maui
OPS: I can't promise that I’m sorry I’m still your Doctor and if your nightmares start effecting your health I’ll have to do something.
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::notices an officer asleep at a warp core monitoring console::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Spent almost a decade repairing things, working my way up to Chief Engineer of a starship.

CMO Ens Maui
OPS: I hope so.

OPS Ens Chambers
::waves a dismissive hand:: CMO: I am sure it is just the Betazoid in me mental encounters have a tendency to stick with us for days, weeks, sometimes even .... years, I'll live that what is important.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: You must of been good, they never let the good ones stay where they are most happy do they? Someday we'll lose our CTO to an xo slot somewhere see if we don't...
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::looks disapprovingly at the sleeping Ensign::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Nah, I'll just keep her as a Lieutenant for another decade. ::winks::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Laughs::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Seriously though I hope that info we go from Barpa helps I have enough trouble worrying about enemies in this universe...
 
CMO Ens Maui
OPS: I understand it has taken a lot of training for me to control my Betazoid abliaties.
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::reaches around the Ensign's drooling head and taps three buttons on the console (setting a fake alarm to go off in ten seconds)::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::continues to talking as they walk along the corridor.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: We have the upper hand, I'm pretty sure SFI will be able to keep some spy telescope on them with what Barpa gave us...::gives a silent prayer::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::steps back and clasps his hands behind his back, watching::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Nods also praying silently.::
 
CIV CWO Ashiba
::just heads out to bridge::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::She falls silent a moment and for a time the only sounds are their footfalls.::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: Sensed over the past 3 weeks that your Physiology seems more in-tune with your Betazoid then my half human one.
 
<EO Ens Goethe> ::jumps and fumbles wildly and drops the PADD in his hand over the railing as the alarm goes off from his console::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::feels the Security guards tailing them, almost breathing down his neck:: XO: Want to grab some dinner, atleast then these bodybuilders here can sit and watch us calmly.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: I think sky diving in the holodeck would be funnier but you’re the Captain.::Grins.::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: Never mind that though, based on what you know do you think the Captain will get off? ::letting a bit of his green show ::really wanting to lead this into another question::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::watches the EO with a mildly interested stare, his eyebrows slightly raised::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::smiles:: XO: We're being served the best, compliments of the Captain of this vessel. Something about replicators being too 'impersonal'.
 
CTO Lt Murphy
::Does a replay of the engagement watching events unfold, pausing occasionally to read off sensor data and check readings from the systems, looking for mistakes and finding none::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: For someone that used to eat rations from my toolkit, replicators have always been a luxury. ::grins::
 
<EO Ens Goeth> ::notices the LtCmdr in red standing over him and looks up sheepishly:: FCO: H-hello, Commander.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Nods:: CO: You ate rations from your toolkit? what stuck in the field? ::as they head for dinner.::
 
<EO Ens Goethe> FCO: I wasn't aware that there was an inspection today... Was it scheduled?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Life of an Engineer Paige, I spent more time in a Jeffries Tube than my own bed.
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
EO: Where is your superior officer, Ensign?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Well on behalf of Tac officers everywhere I regret the destruction we caused...seriously a friend of mine is an engineer, she always complained if we didn't get into combat her job would be easier...
 
<EO Ens Goethe> ::looks utterly stricken:: FCO: He's... in his office, one level up. ::points::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Interesting though how did you jump tracks? If you don't mind me asking?
 
CMO Ens Maui
OPS: I'm not really sure I wasn't on the bridge when it happened I've looked over the data and it seems the Captain did the only thing he could do I believe he exhausted all other possibilities.
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
EO: And your name, Ensign?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: That's true. ::smiles:: But I spent my first two missions in deep space assignment, we had to use what we had available to us.

Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: My former Captain threw me a Command test and a promotion one day.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Decided it was worth a shot.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: You do ok for a former grease monkey.::Smiles jokingly.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Yeah...but I never killed anyone before taking this job.
 
N XO Cmdr Maras:
::walks up to the FCO:: FCO: Excuse me Commander, is there a reason you are hassling my crew?
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: I am sure you are correct no doubt. Still, if he got reassigned wonder if we would all moved up one Notch. I never seen a commander ousted.
 
<EO Ens Goethe> FCO: Ensign John Goethe, Engineering officer, USS Narias.
 
CIV CWO Ashiba
::arrives at bridge::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Smile fades.::CO: Yeah there is that, kinda hard to avoid though universe delights in putting us in tight spots...
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
EO: Thank you.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::pats her on the back as they enter the Officer's mess::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::turns to the Commander who has just approached him:: NXO: Commander, this officer was asleep on duty.
 
CMO Ens Maui
OPS: Lets hope that doesn't happen I just joined the crew but I still feel a sense of loyalty to my Captain.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Shares a look and enters with him for a moment lost in thought.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: I'm milking this for all it's worth, I'm betting we won't be seeing this fine dining on Earth...well not me at least.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::quickly backs up his seemingly silly question with an example:: CMO: I mean not more then 2 months ago I was working in the computer core now I am a senior Bridge Office. Not meaning to belittle my predecessors sacrifice but I was bumped up!
 
N XO Cmdr Maras:
FCO: Was he now.... well we can't have that. That's almost as major of an infraction as, I don't know, entering a restricted area on a ship you aren't assigned to, and attempting to trick members of that ship's crew into believing that you are supposed to be there. Wouldn't you say so Commander?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: S'ok Skipper we'll sneak some fine dining, Sisco's is still open you know...
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: After they clear me, and your treat.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::gets some of the food.::CO: Done and Done.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::smiles, hoping he was as confident as she was::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: You know if things work out we should form a baseball team, good for crew interaction...::smiles back hoping she's as confident as he appears.::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
NXO: I wasn't aware that Main Engineering was restricted for command-level personnel, Commander.
 
CMO Ens Maui
Ops: these thing sometimes happen I had a similar experience on the U.S.S. Gillmore ::bows her head in respect for her fallen comrades::
 
CTO Lt Murphy
::Decides she has studied enough and turns off everything and rolls into her rack for a well deserved nap::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: I still have that jazz program....though it's a work in progress.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Jazz ooh that right...sorry my forte's more flute, not too familiar with jazz's inner workings, why thinking of starting a band?
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: of course, that did happen .. ::did not really intend to dredge up bad memories and he frowns deeply::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Goes to sit down with her plate, balancing an ale in the other hand.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: No, just a place to unwind. With Karri gone off on another assignment, I need a hobby. Or possibly a dog....::thinks it over as a Lieutenant brings them drinks::
 
N XO Cmdr Maras:
FCO: Command level you may be, you are not command level on this ship, and you and your crew are guests of ours as we take members of your crew to a court martial hearing, I don't want you anywhere near the Bridge, Engineering, Weapons Lockers, Transporter Rooms, Cargo Bays, or any other noncivilian part of this ship for security reasons, do I make myself clear?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Karri's not coming back for a bit?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: You could get a hobby and a dog? ::She suggests.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: Might be a while actually. We decided to break it off for the time being.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Looks stunned::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: I know its not my place..but everything alright?
 
CMO Ens Maui
OPS: I had only been Chief Medical Officer for a month on the Gilmore before our mission to arcadia destroyed her.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
XO: All fine commander...::raises hands:: all things considered.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: About Karri, you want to...::awkwardly finishes.:: discuss it?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
::shakes head:: XO: Let's just eat now before they take me and lock me up again.
 
N XO Cmdr Maras:
FCO: Furthermore, if I ever catch you berating a member of my crew again without my authorization, I will have you thrown in the brig and you can enjoy those accommodations. Now, I suggest you find your way to the mess hall for a nice snack. Good Day Commander
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
NXO: I'm sorry, I must have missed that part of the security briefing, Commander.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CO: Aye Skipper. ::Giving him a last supportive look, she taking the hint she nods and backs off, she begins to eat.::
 
N XO Cmdr Maras:
EO: Ensign, you are relieved of duty for the remainder of your shift, and a note of your serious breech of decorum will be placed on your record.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::wonders how many friends the CMO lost on the Gilmore but does not ask::
 
N XO Cmdr Maras:
::turns back to the FCO:: FCO: Are you still here?
 
CTO Lt Murphy
Outloud: ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
NXO: I'm sorry, Commander, but I wasn't aware that these restrictions were a part of the security briefing we received prior to our embarkment.
