Previously on Arcadia:
Host Nick says:
The U.S.S. Hathor has been flung through time 3 times now
Host Nick says:
it now finds itself, with a crew of junior officers, 4 months in it's future, coincidentally, or perhaps not so coincidentally, finding themselves face to face with the Runabout Tarapod, the very same runabout that they discovered crashed on the planet's surface for a millennia
OPS_Ltjg_Chambers is now known as OPS_Ens_Smith.
Host Nick says:
The Runabout, piloted by Lieutenant Jessica Robbins is under attack by an unknown, superior assailant.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr is now known as CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts.

TO_Ens_Gunn says:
::Makes Tactical scans of the area and the runabout and attacking ship::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Is forced to dropped out of warp, somewhat damaged. Conducts evasive maneuvers.::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Tries to send out a distress call.::
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
::in Engineering, making sure everything is running right::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Mutters to herself, "come on answer.."::
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Lt, that's one of our runabouts, and it's getting clobbered by that alien ship. Tactical scans say the alien vessel is a frigate class ship roughly equal in power to the Hathor. Request permission to engage the hostile vessel.
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::orders computer to scan area for information on the ship and area of space.::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::attempts to make contact with a Starfleet beacon::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The enemy is using some sort of directed energy weapon that also contains some sort of anti-tachyon pulse
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: how far away from our time are we? TO:no not yet we don't know what it might do to the timeline.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: Determining that now Captain
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Thinks to self, "All I wanted to do was to learn about self-sealing stem bolts..." as she continues to try to dodge the blasts.::
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
::heads for the bridge::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: Four Months Sir
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Lt, that runabout is in trouble, and we are required by regulations to render assistance.
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
::arrives on bridge moments later and transfers  main engineering control to bridge station::
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: The runabout is sending a distress call.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
TO: In our rightful time maybe.
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Mutters to self, "Anti-Tachyon.." and with the speed borne of desperation rigs deflector to send out tachyon pulses..::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@Self: See how they  like that...::taps the proper sequence of keys when it is ready.::
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
FCO: As we are out of time...literally...The Temporal Prime Directive comes into effect here.
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: The enemy vessel is using directed energy weapons as well as emitting anti-tachyion pulses. The Runabout has just started to emit tachyion pulses in response.
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@Self: just call me super tech...
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::with a grin..::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@TO: OPS is correct we can't interfare but we may be able to save the pilot
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: Just curious but wouldn't that be interfering as well Captain? At any rate, do you wish me to get a transporter lock on the pilot?
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The Tachyon bursts hit home on the enemy's deflector shields but has minimal effect, the enemy ship is just too much of a match for a runabout
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@Self: Crudsicle..
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: If we prevent the attack we will cancel out the cultural contamination, wouldn't we? Doesn't the Prime Directive override the Temporal one?
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS:yes keep a lock on the pilot. and from what we know the shuttle crashed on the planet that does not mean the pilot has to be in the shuttle for it to crash
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::She says getting the results back, she can't dodge forever and they don't look like the types to stop and have a chat..::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
TO: that would cause a paradox if the runabout doesn't go back in time and we wouldn't have gone to the planet and as such wouldn't be here right now.
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Or it would fix the whole problem so it never happened and we'd be back on the station having steak and eggs.
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::More shots glance too close for comfort and consoles begin to spark. Knowing she doesn't have much longer to live does a last roll of the dice and pours everything she can into one last tachyon burst.::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::attempts to acquire a target lock on the shuttle pilot:: FCO: Yer the boss. acquiring target lock on the runabout occupant.
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The massive Tachyon pulse collides with a particularly large Anti-Tachyon pulse from the enemy ship and explodes into a massive temporal rift aimed at the Runabout, it's immediately caught in the pull of the vortex and is being pulled in.
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
FCO: In my opinion Captain, The needs of the one outweigh the needs of the few
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS:beam the pilot out of there now
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::Attempts to beam the pilot to transporter room 1::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Having lost control, covers her eyes as shuttle consoles continue to spark and explode...::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: Aye sir attempting transport.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::works the controls in an effort to maintain a pattern lock on the pilot::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The pilot is beamed to transporter room 1 just as the runabout is sucked into the vortex and back into the past.  The Vortex closes and the enemy ship, now noticing the Hathor opens fire upon them.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
TO: fire on the attacking vessel
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
@::Drops to one knee out of breathe with a few burns on her face and arms...::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: I got em! I don't believe it, wait till I tell Sam about this ...
Host Nick says:
<Transporter Chief> EO: Welcome to the Hathor Lieutenant
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
::Locks onto the enemy vessel and lets them have it with as large a salvo of photon torpedoes as the ship can magange, and a full helping of phasers to boot::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
Self: Next time I take a correspondence course....
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
::Stands, cradling her left arm.::
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Torpedoes away, firing phasers...
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
TO: what kind of damage are we doing? are way having any effect on the enemy ship?
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The torpedoes hit home and the enemy shields (already slightly reduced by the proximity to the vortex) are reduced to 80%
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
Transporter Chief: But weren't you destroyed months ago? ::Looks puzzled because obviously they are not destroyed..::
Host Nick says:
<Transporter Chief> EO: Well I hope not
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Enemy shields reduced to 80%. Reloading torpedo tubes and continuing phaser fire. ::does so::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: I am reading power fluctuations in the enemy frigate, that last hit was solid ..
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
::Continues to look confused.::TC: Right. ::For lack of anything goes to the first aid kit to take care of the light burns...::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: Sir you mean to blow that ship up?
Host Nick says:
INFO: The vortex is still partially opened
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
TC: What happened?
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
TC: You lot went off the charts 4 months ago...
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: It might be worth mentioning that the vortex is still partially open, I still read the runabout transponder.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: sent a message to the runabout via the vortex letting the CO Know we'll see them in 4 months.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::nods::
Host Nick says:
<Transporter Chief> EO: To tell you the truth sir, I'm not sure, the ship has been bumping around a lot over the last couple hours, before that I was sending our science officer down to the surface
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
::Fires the next salvo of torpedoes at the enemy ship and continues firing phasers at it::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::he quickly accesses the comm array an attempts to plant the desired message in the runabouts computer system::
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
TC: So its only been a few hours for you...::finishes her self-repair.:: I should head to the bridge...see if I can help...::Shakes her head to clear it..::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The vortex closes just after the transmission was sent, with no sign of completion, when the vortex seals it sends off a minor shockwave that coupled with the Hathor's attack, drops the shields of the enemy to 48%, and the Hathor's shields down to 65%
Host Nick says:
INFO: Incoming transmission, Federation Vessel approaching
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
::pointing at tactical screen of enemy vessel:: TO: If you hit it here, here, and here ::pointing to the areas of potential vulnerability:: it should knock out the shields and engines.
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Enemy shields down to 48%, but that blast knocked ours down to 65%.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::checks his station report:: FCO: Captain we have an incoming hail.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: Divert power to the shields
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
::Pauses overcome with dizziness.::
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
::Nods to the CEO and targets the locations on the enemy vessel and opens fire once the torpedo tubes are reloaded::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: where is the hail coming from?
Host EO_Lt_Robbins says:
TC: I'll just sit here a minute. ::Sits down on the pad.::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::makes some necessary adjustments to the power grid allotting more power to the shields::
EO_Lt_Robbins is now known as CO_Cpt_Harker.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::tries to identify the target::
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: There is a new contact entering the system, a federation vessel signature, it is the source of the hail.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: put it through
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
FCO: Transponder reads as USS Torchwood, an Intrepid class ship Lt.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::patches the communication onto the main viewer:: FCO: On Screen sir.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@*FCO*: This is the USS Torchwood, Captain Harker Speaking. ::Huge grin.:: where have you been?
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The enemy vessel now splits it's attacks between the 2 federation ships
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::smiles in the background::
TO_Ens_Gunn says:
::Continues firing at the enemy ship with full phasers and torpedo salvos::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@*FCO*:Reunion later lets take care of this lot.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
::Orders her tac to disable the enemy vessel, red alert, the standard routine.::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: Both Starships concentrate their fire on the assailant, after a few moments, the ship starts retreating
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
TO: Hit it here and here. Take out the phaser banks.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
*CO*: Its a long story I'll tell you about it in debrief right now we have a ship firing on both of us lets show them not to mess with the federation. :: smiles and her tail flicks around in excitement::
TO_Ens_Gunn is now known as CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy.
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::compensates for the TO's overzealous use of the phasers as much as possible::
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@*FCO*: No doubt. ::Leaves the link open as they take care of the enemy ships.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@::Brings weapons and shields online and engages the enemy vessel with phasers and torpedoes locked on to take out the engines, weapons,and shields on the enemy ship::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The enemy goes to warp and leaves the system

FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
*CO*: should we go after it?
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
<OPS_Ltjg_Chambers> FCO: Nice to see you Lieutenant, I got your Message.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
@*OPS_LtJg_Chambers*:glad to hear it Sam
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
@<OPS_Ltjg_Chambers> Smith: Nice work placing the message in the buffer the way you did. It survived all those months.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@::Tracks the course of the enemy ship as it warps out::

Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@*FCO*: Well that was interesting. We were able to get the message off of the ship's black box after being rescued and you timed your arrival to coincide with a couple minutes after the transmission was sent.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@*FCO*:And by all means lets track us some pirates. I want to know what they were up too if we can. We have cause..
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
::sigh:: ALL: We are going to have to build another runabout
CEO_LtJG_Nutznbolts says:
@*CO*: CEO Fuller Nutznbolts here. We got a little dinged up ma'am, but we're ok. How is the Torchwood? I can come make any repairs you might need.
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
*CO*: we're with you sir.
Host CO_Cpt_Harker says:
@::Gives the needed orders to get them moving, puts the Hathor CEO in contact with her CEO on the Torchwood.::
FCO_LtJg_Maui says:
OPS: Follow that pirate ship
OPS_Ens_Smith says:
FCO: Captain, I mean Lieutenant, I mean .. ::looks at the TO:: TO: She is still Captain right? Anyway it is leaving the system, the pirate ship.
CTO_LtCmdr_Murphy says:
@::Sends course and nav scans to the helm for pursuit::
Host Nick says:
ACTION: The two vessels go to warp in a pursuit course after the pirate...
