Previously on Arcadia: 

The Court ruled that it could not pass summary judgment in this case, and went to recess to allow both sides the evening to prepare for presenting evidence and witnesses in the morning. Immediately after court broke up however, several members of the team were given PADDs containing orders to head to SFI.

Once at SFI, the XO, CMO, FCO, and OPS officers all were told that there was an urgent mission for them from Starfleet Intelligence, the outcome of which would affect not only the outcome of their captain and CTO's trial, but perhaps the Captain's very life may be at stake.
 
Meanwhile, after discussing the case with Captain Wells of JAG, Captain Rome went off to try and relax in San Francisco, while Lieutenant Murphy went to Dublin to visit with Relatives. Shortly after Rome was alone however, he was caught in a Klingon transporter beam, and vanished.

Captain Jonathan Rome
@::adjusts his eyes after rematerializing in what seems to be a very cramped and dirty metal cell, with a small fist sized hole in the door:: Self: What in god's name...
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::taps his commbadge:: *Wells*: Captain Rome to Captain Wells, come in please.
 
ACTION: In SFI and the court facility at HQ klaxons go off
 
Captain Vans
Self: Damnit! Not yet!
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::looks around interestedly in the dark office as a klaxon begins to sound throughout the building::
 
CTO Lt Murphy
#::Wanders down the street from the transporter station and hail a cab to take her to her family's home::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@*SF*: Starfleet emergency channel, this is Captain Rome. Come in please. ::taps his badge repeatedly::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::stands as she hears the klaxons and looks at Vans.::
 
JAG Captain Wells
:: in his office wondering what is happening as he hears the klaxons::
 
@ACTION: Captain Rome can feel a warp drive engaging
 
OPS Ens Chambers
FCO: What do you suppose is going on sir?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::feels a very old warp drive engage, since he's almost slapped against the cell walls...not a very difficult task since the cell is smaller than his wardrobe::
 
Captain Vans
XO: There is little time, if I'm right that Klaxon can only mean ::pulls up a PADD to pull up the report of the klaxon and groans:: Your Captain has just been abducted
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@Outloud: Hello ?!
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
OPS: It would be unwise to speculate at this point.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: That's a jump in reasoning.::Wishing she didn't half believe it had something to do with them.::Vans: Let’s hear what we need too...Sir...
 
<Lt_Arasa> *Wells*: Lieutenant Arasa to Captain Wells, your client has just violated the terms of his court order to remain on Earth.
 
JAG Captain Wells
*Arasa*: Thank you Do you have any idea who he had help him?
 
CMO Ens Maui
::she wonders what is going on and how she could be of any use to Starfleet Intelligence::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Please state the parameters of our mission so that we may proceed. The situation appears urgent.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::bangs his fists against the cell door:: Outloud: Hello? What is going on here? You just released me from custody, I demand to see my attorney, Captain Wells immediately!!
 
<Arasa> *Wells*: Unknown, there is a residual transporter signature at his last known coordinates, we have been unable to track it.
 
JAG Captain Wells
:: Throw a PADD against the wall in rage wonder just what that idiot Captain thinks he is doing::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::wonders where he's being taken to, and who is taking him....Starfleet couldn't just lock him up without due process......would they?::
 
Captain Vans
XO: We have reason to believe that members of the race that attacked you are in this universe, and have enlisted the aid of Mercenaries for a mission of unknown intent, and that your Captain is key to their mission
 
JAG Captain Wells
*Arasa*: Just to be on the safe side I would suggest that you have Lt Murphy picked back up and put in a holding cell.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::continues banging against the cell doors::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: I see, and who else is aware of this information.?
 
CTO Lt Murphy
#::Gets out of the cab and rings the bell to her home::
 
<Arasa> *Wells*: Understood Captain, we have a unit on the way
 
Captain Vans
XO: Besides my superiors and myself... you
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: The court will need to know, but besides that, what are we meant to do?
 
JAG Captain Wells
*Aries*: Very good let me know when she has been returned. Wells out.
 
Captain Vans
XO: And we suspect.... Him ::points to an area of the room so dark that nobody can see anything, at his gesture the lighting levels raise and Barpa can be seen, lying on the floor::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Can you clarify, Captain, which race that attacked us? We have been attacked by many races.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::looks around for door handles or controls and sees none....probably only on the other side...magnetically sealed, and thinks he didn't spend 10 years as an Engineer to be stopped by a single door....and starts formulating a plan to get out::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Looks at Vans, puzzled.::CMO: He ok Doc?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Points to Barpa::
 
CTO Lt Murphy
#::Enjoys a happy reunion with her family with hugs all around::
 
CMO Ens Maui
::jumps up and goes to check out Barpa::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Sir, what’s the whole story, I get a feeling time is of the essence
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::starts pulling at the neck of his uniform jacket, fishing to get the wire inside the collar::
 
Captain Vans
XO: What little we know of their plan indicates that their plan was to implicate guilt in your Captain by making it appear that he was violating his confinement to Earth. Alerting the court might tip our hand that we are aware of them and their plan.
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: How did they learn of his confinement to Earth?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: It also plays into it. Surely telling the head judge and his lawyer will be ok, but what’s our role?
 
<Klingon>@::opens the door to Rome's Cell and pelts him with a Klingon Pain Stick:: Rome: Be Quiet!
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Falls silent letting the Captain answer their questions, tries to rein in her impatience, "I should tell Murphy that'll show this slow lot." She thinks to herself.::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::falls over, the wire falling to the ground and covers it with his back, looking up at the Klingon guard:: Outloud: Klingons....what?
 
CMO Ens Maui
XO: no he is not ok though he is better than I thought he was he is alive but non-responsive looks as if he is in a coma.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@Guard: I want to see your superior!
 
Captain Vans
XO: Admiral Harlan is being informed as we speak, we don't know much more then you do, except that last night, aliens matching Barpa's race were seen on Rigel X, looking for some brute force.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Why is Barpa here and not in a medical bay?
 
Captain Vans
XO: This morning, a small craft appeared out of nowhere, in South America, crashed, he was inside.
 
Captain Vans
XO: Our doctors were just here, but we don't have as much experience with his race as your Doctor Maui has, we thought it best to put him in her care.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: I mean here in this room, oh nevermind. ::She says frustrated.::Sir, what is our role in all this?
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: The question remains, Captain, how was this race alerted to the conditions associated with Captain Rome's trial? Or even, for that matter, to his trial at all?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
CMO: You heard the man, he's your patient now...
 
#<Starfleet_Security_Officer> ::barges in on the CTO and her family:: CTO: Lieutenant Murphy, you are under arrest!
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Again falls silent trying to rein in her anger at the delays.::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
Vans: Have your recovery teams gleaned any information directly from the crashed craft.
 
CMO Ens Maui
::sighs:: XO: I’ll do what I can but I don't have as well a grasp on his physiology as I’d like.
 
CTO Lt Murphy
#SF_Sec: What the bloody hell for? I haven't done anything but come home. Ye said I couldn't leave the planet, I'm in Ireland.
 
<Guard>@Rome: I said Be QUIET! ::pelts him with the pain stick again::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::convulses on the floor of the cell, trying to keep track of the small wire somewhere underneath his body::
 
<Security_Officer> #CTO: Captain Rome has left the Planet, violating the terms of his confinement to Earth, we are ordered to take you into custody to prevent you from doing the same.
 
CMO Ens Maui
::does what she can but looks up:: Vans: I’ll need equipment and Medical facilities.
 
CTO Lt Murphy
#SF_Sec: And how do ye imagine I'm goin' to leave the planet from me house in Ireland, sprout great bloody wings and fly?
 
Captain Vans
CMO: And you shall have it, try to revive him, but failing that, we have another task for you. The craft Barpa arrived in seems to be an experimental craft capable of shifting through the phase barrier between our universe and his
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::stops twitching and pulls himself up in a sitting position against the wall, the small wire in his right hand as he waits for the guard to close the cell and leave, he says nothing::
 
Captain Vans
XO: We believe your Captain's captors are also equipped with such technology, we also believe that Barpa was not alone in that craft and that another of his race is here on Earth, but we've been having trouble tracking him down.
 
<Guard> @Rome: We will be arriving soon. ::slams the door shut and locks it again::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::shifts so the small light above shines in his lap, and removes his commbadge and starts removing the back access panel::
 
<SF_Sec> #CTO: scans of the area where your Captain was last known to be shows signs of a transporter, you are to be taken to a high security facility with a dampening field to prevent transporters
 
CMO Ens Maui
::wishes Vans would just get on with it and tell them what they are to do so she can get to reviving Barpa::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::extending the true intent of his first inquire:: Vans: Yes I would like to get a look at this craft ..
 
Captain Vans
FCO: We are not sure how they know so much about this trial, but they know, our contacts on Rigel X said they were giving a great number of details about the trial to the Mercenaries they attempted to hire
 
Captain Vans
CMO: Once you have attempted to revive Barpa, I want you and our doctors to change the appearance of your team to match his race, and then you will take his craft into their universe and attempt to locate your captain
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::manages to remove the back panel, and carefully lifts the Sarium krellide power cell out and placing it safely in his palm, while he uses the wire to adjust a miniature control circuit, allowing for more power consumption::
 
Captain Vans
::presses a button beaming the CMO and Barpa to an infirmary in SFI::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: What if he's not there?
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Yes, what makes you assume that he has been taken to their dimension and not simply in our own?
 
CTO Lt Murphy
#SF_Sec: Bloody fantastic... NOW ye decide to get yer act together, eh? ::Says goodbye to her family briefly before going with the Security goons::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::looks at Vans with awe and mixed alarm:: FCO: I wanted to look at it not fly in it! ::frowns though his question was directed at the FCO curious how the chief pilot felt about flying a foreign craft::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::returns the krellide power cell into the slot and hears the device power up, now with increased power and puts to the wire between his teeth, flattening the end out as much as he can before bringing it to the aperture control slot and cranks it up as far as it will go::
 
Captain Vans
XO: Our source indicates he will be, if he is not yet, he will be soon. The Mercenaries were given instructions to transport him into their universe in something resembling a torpedo
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Can we detect this ship? We have any way of finding the CO once we're on our way?
 
CMO Ens Maui
self: oh great like it’s so easy to make someone look like a race of people you know so little about. ::get up and starts ordering the medical staff around asking for Cortical Stimulators and hyposprays.::
 
Captain Vans
FCO: You are of course, free to refuse your mission, but the four of you know these aliens better then anyone I could send
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::cranks the aperture control up as far as it will, then puts the commbadge on the floor and starts scraping the wire against the ground, managing to strip away a thin filament of metal and shapes it with his teeth carefully::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::mutters nearly incoherently:: Self: wish we had never met them ...
 
@ACTION: The klingon vessel comes to all stop, the Klingon guard opens the door to the cell again.
 
<Guard> @Rome: Come with me
 
OPS Ens Chambers
CMO: I will retrieve what images and records from our computer memories it should not take long, but should help you with your task.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::retrieves the items next to him carefully and slides them into his pocket, he will have to finish this later he thinks and tries not to swallow the filament in his mouth::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Can we detect this ship? We have any way of finding the CO once we're on our way?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::stands up and reveals his hands and walks towards the guard, trying not to provoke another attack::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: I will need at least an hour to study the flight controls of this vessel we are to take. I would also feel more comfortable with the opportunity to install Starfleet safety measures on the craft.
 
JAG Captain Wells
:: waits to hear if Lt Murphy has been returned so that he can speak with her::
 
CMO Ens Maui
%::Does every scan she can think of on Barpa trying to get as much information on his race as possible.::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
FCO: We don’t even know if Starfleet systems be compatible sir, we can hardly work with Cardassian equipment. We don't know what can be installed or not installed till we see the ship sir.
 
Captain Vans
FCO: I thought you might, you and Ensign Chambers should investigate the craft right away, while your Doctor prepares to change your appearance.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
FCO: But what reasonable adaptations we can make in due time sir, we shall. ::he was determined::
 
#<SF_Sec> ::taps his comm badge and his team and the CTO are beamed to Starfleet Headquarters::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
OPS: Quiet. Vans: In addition, it would be helpful if we were provided with schematics and diagrams regarding the operation of this vessel - that is, the principles upon which it operates, if you have any. Interdimensional travel is not taught at Starfleet Academy.
 
Captain Vans
FCO: We have very little information, we've only been in possession of the craft for 3 hours, however all the information we have is available to you in the bay where the craft is waiting for you.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Can we detect this ship? We have any way of finding the CO once we're on our way?
 
JAG Captain Wells
:: gets the notification that the CTO is back in a cell at Starfleet headquarters and head for there::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::follows the guard, and carefully removes the metal filament from his mouth and palces it in his pocket carefully::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Where, precisely, is the craft located?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::repeating her question falls silent waiting for a response.::
 
<Guard> @::leads Rome to a launch bay where a small coffin shaped craft sits open:: Rome: Get in
 
CMO Ens Maui
%::after the first few scans she is relieved to know that Barpa is fully in this universe and not half out of Phase like he was on their last mission.::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::glared at the FCO was anger in his eyes he thought of speaking then thinking again thought better of it::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::looks at the guard with a 'you have got to be kidding me' expression, then looks down at the pain stick, and decides against complaining and carefully steps inside the craft and lays down::
 
Captain Vans
XO: The Ship appears to be designed with predefined coordinates in their universe, we are hoping once you follow the built in flight plan, that you will either find the Captain, or at least clues to his whereabouts.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Nods::
 
JAG Captain Wells
:: enters Starfleet headquarters and gets the necessary clearances then heads for the CTO's Cell::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Wait a moment - that sounds remarkably like a trap.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::disregarding any further briefing and without dismissal he stormed out of Vans Office using what information he had already collected to find the best route to the craft .. alone so that he might set to his tasks::
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@Guard: Will this be a long trip? Any in-flight entertainment perhaps?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Lets the Ops chief go, focusing on Vans.::
 
<Guard> @Rome: I do not know, but I'd be more worried about where you are going, then how comfortable the trip is, if I were you. ::laughs, and then closes the craft around Rome, and punches a command sequence into a console on the exterior, he then loads it into a torpedo tube, and instructs the bridge to fire the craft into space::
 
JAG Captain Wells
:: enter where the CTO is being held:: CTO: Lt tell me that you had no involvement in what the Captain has done?
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Is there any more information available?
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::gulps as he lays there alone in the darkness, not able to really move or see anything.....knowing that only a few centimeters are between him and complete vacuum......::
 
Captain Vans
FCO: All our evidence shows that this craft was not sent by the same group that kidnapped your CO, but instead by another group, which included Barpa. Barpa was not restrained in the craft in any way.
 
CTO Lt Murphy
Wells: Now that's interesting...
 
OPS Ens Chambers
::with proper direction from an LCARS panel on the wall he made his way to small unused meeting room used his access codes to download some information about Barpa's race collected by Cygnus sensors placed the information on a PADD and then proceeds to the Infirmary to find the CMO::
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::thinks to the XO, knowing she can't respond:: ~~~XO: Commander, we need Murphy. We're going into what could be considered a warzone. We need the best tactical officer in the fleet.~~~
 
ACTION: The CMO is able to revive Barpa and stabilize him.
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Pauses recognizing the FCO's concern, mentally blinks looking at him vaguely puzzled, then nods slowly to show she understands.::
 
OPS Ens Chambers
%::he entered the Infirmary where a nurse approached him::

XO Cmdr Harker
FCO: I can try.::she mutters not holding out hope. She'd love to have the CTO but is sure Starfleet won't release her.::
 
CMO Ens Maui
%Barpa: well hello again. *XO*: yes I have him he is stable for the moment.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::wishes there was a light in here, just a bit....::
 
<Nurse>: %OPS: Can I help you?

@ACTION: The probe containing Rome is fired into space, and moments later Rome can feel a secondary drive coming online
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Can we get the CTO? an extra gun would really help with this mission....
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::feels the chamber shake, the propulsion being inches away from where he is:: Self: This is all very unsettling...
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Tries not to feel like she's wasting time but really feels she needs to ask.::
 
Captain Vans
XO: You want me to organize the release of an accused criminal...
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: Aye, she is an amazing CTO. I to give the mission its strongest chance to succeed, I needed to ask.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
%Nurse: No, I know the CMO of Arcadia is here working I wish not to bother her but. this ::handing the nurse the PADD:: are as many of the readings on that of Barpa and his kin as well as what limited information we could collect about Barpa's enemies we could manage to collect about their physical features. I thought it might help the Doctor.
 
@ACTION: Through a small view window, the CO can see streaks of color as the small ship breaks through the dimensional barrier
 
CMO Ens Maui
%Barpa: there is a lot going on right now and your help in is greatly needed any information you can give is important.
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Brianna Murphy is the best tactical officer in the fleet, and we're heading into a VERY dangerous situation in an unfamiliar vessel. She would be a priceless asset to our team.

<Nurse>%::nods:: OPS: I will be sure she gets it.
 
<Barpa>%CMO: Your Captain.... in danger
 
CMO Ens Maui
%Barpa: yes we know but why? and how can we save him?
 
<Barpa> %CMO: My... ship... is it alright?
 
CMO Ens Maui
%Barpa: as far as i know yes.
 
Captain Jonathan Rome
@::watches the swirling colors thinking this is something that Barpa described to him once during their dinner sessions......he was crossing over?::
 
Captain Vans
XO: I will see if I can arrange to have someone disguised as her for her to go on your mission, but I'll hold you personally responsible if she doesn't make it back to Earth to stand her trial
 
XO Cmdr Harker
Vans: I understand.
 
OPS Ens Chambers
%::he nodded in thanks and left::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Thinks to self, "Please Brianna don't do anything...well too much like yourself."::
 
<Barpa> %CMO: It can... take you... to Captain
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
Vans: Where, precisely, is the vessel located?
 
Captain Vans
FCO: I'll take the two of you to it, follow me please
 
FCO LtCmdr Ryushi
::stands to follow Vans::
 
XO Cmdr Harker
::Nods, thinking a prayer to herself that this works.::
 
CTO Lt Murphy
::Spends time counting the tiles on the ceiling::
 
<Nurse>%::she approached:: CMO: An Ensign Chambers left you this PADD then left he felt the records from the Cygnus might help you. ::she handed over the PADD::
 
CMO Ens Maui
%Barpa: why was our Captain taken in the first place. ::keeps an eye on Barpa's Vitals so she doesn't push him too much::
 
@ACTION: Captain Rome's view of colors changes back into a view of stars as the pod emerges in the alternate reality.
 
CMO Ens Maui
%::takes the back:: Nurse: thank you
 
<Barpa> %CMO: They need him.... to prepare... for invasion
