Host Nick says:
Previously on Arcadia: Starfleet has sent the Arcadia crew (on their new support ship the U.S.S. Hathor), to investigate the presence of a Matter/Antimatter Reactor on a world relatively early in their industrial development.  While on route, the crew sent a probe to the planet which has indicated the location of what appears to be enough Tritanium and Dilithium for a very small craft.
Host Nick says:
Every 30 minutes or so a M/A reaction can be detected, but only briefly.  And the most recent revelation has been that for less then half a second a Starfleet COMM Signature was detected from the same location.
Host Nick says:
It is looking more and more that someone is there who shouldn't be... and they are flying Federation Colors.
Host Nick says:
Sensor and visual sweeps of the area have shown that the craft is in some sort of deep mine shaft, capped with a military bunker

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, I had a thought...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO:Yes?
Host Nick says:
SCENE: The Hathor is in position behind the moon of the planet, to hide from the planet's civilization
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: What say before we get all twisted here we get on the horn to hindquarters and ask them if they know anything about why a Federation COMM signal would be coming from this rock, eh?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Can ye make heads or tails of that signal Lieutenant? Anything at all?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Goes to stand with OPS and CTO::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: I expect if they knew they'd of told us by now.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Unless, of course, someone is playing secret squirrel or is out-of-bounds, eh? ::smirks::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::muttering::  Rediculousness this is..madnessess...simply madnesses
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Signal, what Signal?
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
::sitting at helm maintaining the ships position::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: The COMM signal, the one we picked up the last time we detected the power coming on down there? It's in the sensor logs, mate.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::muttering still:: it be there..it not there....::a little louder than expected:: To be or not to be, thats is being the questions
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::checks the sensor records::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Yes it's frustrating us all Commander, have you gotten all the information you can from it?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Well, two possibilities with that craft being in that shaft under that bunker. The crew landed it there on purpose, or someone grabbed it and dragged it there to keep it under wraps.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Unknowns Caipitainies. I can be tellings you that it does have a pulsings intervals
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Bouts every 30 minuteings or so
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Looking into it sir. Give me a few moments sorry for the delay Commander.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Just for being briefness though
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Regular? theories as to why that is so?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Surmisings more than the theoreticals...
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Keeps doing Tactical scans of the planet and the surrounding system keeping an eye out for other visitors or any other useful information::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
Self: How strange ....
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: It could be either or that it landed there was found and they built a base around it...would have to be there for a long time though...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Your thoughts then?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Found something then, Lieutenant?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Astomosphericals interferencings, but withouts beings down on the planetsideing..diffculties to tell it is
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods at CSO::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
ALL: Anything more to report? the smallest detail..
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Is eager to get down to the planet but is trying to be a responsible CO.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Checks the data from the probe to see if it detected anything new::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::checks the data over to be sure:: CTO:Yes, .. no .. Well, I am not certain yet, but it seemed as though right after the sensors detected the brief antimatter or M/A for a second afterward  there was a COMM source. It's structure suggested it had federation characteristics. 
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
:: jumps at the new signals, almost falling out of his chair with excitement:: CO: I am havings it!
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: What is it?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Sir it was so brief though I was unable to determine a source identity.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Head jerks from OPS speaking to the CSO with the speed of someone watching a tennis match.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: A triagulates positions of 893 meters bearings 227 marks 4
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, I'd like to point out a couple things. First, our orders clearly reminded us of the Prime Directive problem being in effect here. Also, I'm sure the folks at hindquarters didn't know about a craft and a Federation COMM signal when they sent us out here. I'd say we let the folks in the rare air know what we do and let them make the call.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: not presises, but at lessings that 900 meters, its the best i am gettings for you from up heres

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Thank You. Underground...
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Thats she woulds be
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Sighs::CTO: Yes, point taken. ::Hates the idea of reporting every little move but seeing the CTO's point. Really just wants to go down there and get it.::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Also looking at the information gathered a bit more the way in which the signal was sent out was more like an intentional broadcast but more like a short ping, kind of like the ones we get from calling and tracking stations letting us know we are near one and we can use them to relay subspace traffic. It's like it wants someone to know it is there and online for some type of use. Perhaps maybe even remote access. Though
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
is speculation perhaps.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Make a report to HQ, response requested soonest. Send all our data and put in the recommendation that we will need to go down there undercover to get to the source.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All: Until then any thoughts on trying to link to the source, is that even possible?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: So it could be just a ping to let someone know it's still there and operating, eh? And perhaps that's why the antimatter fires up every so often, to power the device?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::nods to the Captain:: CO: Yes Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Caipitaines, If I mays. Beings that we did be dectectings a Federations signaling down theres, the Prime Directives is irrelevants
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: Still time for damage control.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: If we can get more data on the COMM signal perhaps we can get a better idea what we are dealing with, and use the probe as a relay...
Host Nick says:

ACTION: Sensors show the Matter/Antimatter Reaction starting up again
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Point taken but we're going to have to go down there eventually, even if just to destroy it.  cosmetic surgery the whole bit.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: The Prime Directives states that we may not be interferings with the naturals course of any species. As we are investigatings a Starfleets Signaling, we are not unders the juristictionings of the afoermentioned Prime Directives.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Focuses Tactical sensors on the power source, and the probe too, and records everything::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Power source firing up again Boss.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS/CSO/CTO: Are you lot getting any new information?
::Waits impatiently.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::facing screen, watching::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
COM: Starfleet: Message: "U.S.S. Hathor Reporting, we have arrived at the Designated Planet and initial intel about inhabitants seems consistent with our scans but we have come across an unknown subspace signal coming from the surface that Appears to be Federation in Origin, Captain Harker requests instruction on how to proceed. Await Response."
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I'm detecting natives down there with the craft Boss. Whoever that craft belongs too, they have it now. Also, that bunker is new, less than 6 months old, built on top of an old mine. It wasna always a military site.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::finishes his message and refocuses his attention more closely on COMM reports::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: So it's logical to state they may not of known it was there prior.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Agreeings with the CTO am I
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The Starfleet COMM signature comes on for about 12 seconds, before both it and the Antimatter reaction die out again.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Message sent Captain.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: It's gones again
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I'd say it's more likely they built the bunker to guard what they found and to hold onto it.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: The signalings that is
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO/CSO: I agree so either this source was discovered six months ago or landed six months ago......
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::attempts directly intercept the signal for details rundown of its purpose and source id::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Nods at CSO::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Thanks ops.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: There is that repeated signal again trying to lock onto it.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, if we go down there we have no chance of blending with the locals, we have almost no intel on them. I say we go in using stealth suits on a totally covert operation.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Agreed. they may not be knowings what to do with what they founds, and not knowings could get them hurts or worse.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::gets noticeably excited:: Yes!!... ooo .. wait .. what the hell ....
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: yes. OPS: What?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Um, Sir, I got a confirmed Identifier on the last COMM wave from the planet we intercepted, You are not going to like this.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: The questions I poseing is this: Which would be being the more harmfuls, letting them fools about with technolgies that they don't be understandings and do nothings or go down there and regains controls of Starfllet properties?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: The signal is reporting itself as being sent from the U.S.S. Tarapod, Denube Class, Assignment: Arcadia Station SB-101
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CSO: We will Commander as soon as we have all the information we need, to right we can't just leave it there
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: wait the Tarapod? She's not scheduled to be commissioned for another 4 weeks, they've barely begun construction on her.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Pardon?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: One of our Runabouts?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self,  "Oh Starfleet's gonna love this.."::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::double checks the validation on that registry::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
All: So we have a time traveling Arcadia Runabout...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Yep, one of ours, ID confirmed Ma'am
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
CO: Captain The Tarapod hasn't been finished yet how can it be down on this planet?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Understood.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Check that registry please. Was that the one Captain Bodine stole when he abandoned the station a year ago or so?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
FCO: Well my theory is sometime in the future our Runabout gets taken on a little joy ride but without more information that's just a theory...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Sir, no, tthe ship being Identified is currently being built in Dock... As the FCO indicated.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Right, just checking...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Can you link with it?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: I'd say hindquarters and Temporal Investigations might be interested in this little tidbit, eh?
Nick is now known as AdmRegnum.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: Maybe I have not tried. Shall I attempt to hail the computer?
Host AdmRegnum says:
@COM: Hathor: Hello Hathor, how's your maiden voyage going?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: It's headquarters..::small grin:: and yes I expect so...
Host AdmRegnum says:
@COM: Hathor: I happened to be at SFHQ when we got your status update, I asked for the privilege of responding to you
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Com:Regnum: Fine Sir. Turns out the signal might belong to one of our Runabouts not built yet.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "Best get it over with like a bandage."::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Do what ye can to link with it please Lieutenant.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::under breath:: Does he realies wants that answering?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CSO: Can ye scan for any quantum or temporal signatures please?
Host AdmRegnum says:
@COM: Hathor: Did you say, one of your runabouts that hasn't been built yet?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::taps a few keys to send Regnum the latest.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: Of course.
Host AdmRegnum says:
INFO: The CSO is unable to detect any signs of temporal incursions
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::beings scanning for requested information::
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: With respect Commander, that order can only be authorized by another ship Captain its Starfleet protocol, I will wait sir.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CTO: Negatives. No temporals incursionings
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: It's a Runabout, not a Starship, and it's one of ours, Lieutenant.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Com: Regnum: Least that's what the Comm id is saying Sir. It's circumstantial I'll admit but it's all we have right now.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Sir, I believe a remote login of any Starfleet vessel with its own registry holds the same protocol has any ship in the fleet. What is the rush?
Host AdmRegnum says:
INFO: As the COMM Signal is dead, OPS is unable to link with it.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Com: Regnum:I'm just not sure how much more information we can get without going down to the planet.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: Besides the COMM faded out again, I can't right now if I wanted too... sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: We have an Admiral on the line looking for answers, and making big decisions here.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: My hands are tied either way.
Host AdmRegnum says:
@COM: CO: The Tarapod, I was gonna use that ship for this trip to HQ, but I had to come a month early and it wasn't ready yet.
Host AdmRegnum says:
@COM: CO: I agree with your assessment, if it is one of ours, that we haven't even built yet, you need to get down there and get to the bottom of things.  Any sign of someone on the planet who shouldn't be there?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
COM:Regnum: As I said Sir evidence is circumstancial at best but we will need to retreive it they know it's there and have build a base around it...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
COM:Regnum: That source is the only evidence we have found so far of anything out of place...
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
::Keeps doing Tactical scans of the mine shaft using ship sensors and the probe to get all the information that they can::
Host AdmRegnum says:

Host AdmRegnum says:
ACTION: The shortest time in between bootups yet, the power signature spins to life, and the COMM system comes back online
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::thinking scientifically and talking to himself outloud:: Starfleets runabouts that is on the surfaces, matching an ID to a runabouts back at the stations that is being in the processes of being built
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CTO: The vessel is not dated to be commissioned till Stardate 10911.03 which consides with the FCO's findings and makes it not ours and if it is ours then there is some temporal stuff potentially going on here. I won't log into it, not that I can right now anyway, just simply because you see it as a security threat. Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Boss, the signal is back on.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Right. OPS: If you can safely do so we need the information it could be holding. Is there anything against getting more information? Some concern?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
OPS: Connect to that runabout and download the core, that's an order, lieutenant. If you don't, I will.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
CO: I just wanted your okay.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Hold on Commander Murphy. OPS: If you can safely do so then please.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
ALL: Attempting to send a request now
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::tries to remember, after a moment he sends the command codes he recalls don in an attempt to access the runabout::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Thank you for your concern Commander but I have this, any new information on tactical?
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Glances at the screen, stilling showing the Starfleet symbol::
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: Just the power and COMM signal fired up again. I'm trying to get as clear a picture of the layout of the place as I can, including garrison size and placement.

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Excellent that's going to be vital, can we detect comings and goings?
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
CO: With all those minerals in the ground sensors are a mess. I'll get ye what I can.
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
ALL: Sent the credentials waiting for a reply.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
CTO: Aye we'll need to get undercover and sneak in, speed and stealth will be our allies...
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
OPS: Well done, time to cross your fingers...
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
::gins:: CO: Oh yeh they are crossed.
Host AdmRegnum says:
::appears back on screen:: @COM: Hathor: Sorry about that, just wanted to talk with the brass, Starfleet has given you a go to visit the planet, but be wary, if it is a temporal incursion from the future, their culture has already been contaminated, you need to contain it.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::grins back and pats his shoulder, briefly.::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
CO: Stealth is my specialites, but you alreadies would be knowings this if you had a chanceings to reads my file
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
Com:Regnum: Aye Sir. That's the plan. If there's nothing else Sir?
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers says:
