Episode #624: "Joseph of Arcadia, Part V": Just as the junior staff settles in, new orders come from Starfleet to have several members of the senior staff on Earth. The crew is preparing to depart aboard the USS Quirinus. Meanwhile our new civilian has developed a relationship with a junior officer, Lieutenant Junior Grade Joseph Reese, who has searched through the Federation databanks and discovered that Nyira's father is not dead as she previously thought.

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on Q bridge::
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@::rushes into his quarters out of breath:: Nyira: Nyira are you here?
CIV_Nyira says:
@::gets up from the table:: Joe: yes I'm here whats wrong why are you out of breath? ::she rushes to him worried::
CTO_LtJG_On says:
@:: at his quarters finishing his meal and he takes his last sip of coffee ::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::In her quarters packing for the trip, very excited to meet some of the engineers she'd been long distance working on this solution with in person::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks up from reading the specifications on the optics that engineering has developed :: CO: I wonder if I could adapt this into the scopes of our rifles for hand to hand combat...
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@Nyira: I have to leave, the Quirinus has been called to Earth and I'm to go with them, apparently they need Lieutenant Takor to help with something back at Starfleet Engineering on Earth
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Gives orders to her deputy via comms as she finishes packing and prepares to head to the Quirinus::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Why would one need a scope for close quarter combat?
CIV_Nyira says:
@::looking at Joe wide eyed:: Joe: Earth?
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@Nyira: Yes, Earth. If we hurry, we could ask the XO if you can come with us, but we are leaving in less than an hour
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Not all rifle combat is close quarters, Captain. I believe I have misspoken.
CTO_LtJG_On says:
@:: he finish fixing himself and goes outside and walks around the station to the promenade ::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::secures her quarters and hefting a bag heads for the docking bay::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: If you believe you need to adapt the weapons, I trust your judgment. Have your upgrades been speced by engineering?
CIV_Nyira says:
@::she stares at him dumb struck:: Joe: me... come with you? ::she shakes her head:: should i pack some things just in case? ::she starts gathering some of her clothes that she had left in there::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
@::to himself but slightly out loud:: I hate flying. All those stars streaking past, makes me green in the face.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: The engineering department is the ones who delivered the original optics to my people. You know, it occurs to me... well, never mind. I was going to say since this works in the optical spectrum, couldn't we augment the ship's sensors with that... but their personal cloaks may not work on the same principles. Still... it's all we've got right now.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::in the corridors headed for the Quirinus berth::
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@Nyira: Only if you want to, but it would be a good chance for you to find your Father
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Continues to talk to her Deputy moving into a TL as she hefts the bag over a shoulder and pulls out a PADD to make sure the ideas she and the others in the department came up with are all there and well laid out for presentations later::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: An interesting Idea. So the scope looks for phased anomalies thus nullifying cloak. Is that correct?
CTO_LtJG_On says:
@:: he looks at the time and realize that have to board the starship Quirinus and goes quickly to the bay where it is ::
CIV_Nyira says:
@::she grabs a small bag and looks at Joe:: Joe: who do I talk to and where do I find them?
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::stands at the last turbo lift that will lead to the Q waiting for it to open::
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@*XO*: Lieutenant Reese to Commander Chambers
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Nearly runs into the XO but stops her personal sensors working fine and glances up from the PADD wrapping up the conversation with her Deputy.::XO: Hello Sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::taps his combadge:: *EO*: Chambers here.
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Pauses from beginning to step out of the turbolift realizing this isn't her floor.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::startled:: CEO: Lieutenant .
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::A little sheepishly steps to the side to allow him to enter the TL::
CTO_LtJG_On says:
:: arrives to the bay station where the ship is and he enters aboard ::
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::steps into the lift and moves to the back::
CIV_Nyira says:
@::quickly grabs another bag and puts some things in it for Joe seeing he didn't have anything::
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@*XO*: Commander, I'm here with Nyira Santiago, and we have a personal request sir. She has some personal business on Earth and we were wondering if she could join us aboard the Q sir.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: It looks like it works on lifesigns... well, brain readings. So it's not an exact translation to ship sensors... unless they were really close, and the ship was well staffed.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: I war ship would be well staffed. Talk to engineering and science, let's see if we can make this happen so you can present it to Command when we reach 001.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::glances at Reese's direct superior:: CEO: Lt Reese wishes to join us headed to earth do you have any objections?
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Seeing the XO on comms, returns her attention to the PADD. Tapping modifications::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Pulls her attention from the PADD and blinks::XO: He was already approved I think he's asking for someone else. ::Gets a ping on her PADD:: XO: Other engineer is already on the Q...
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@*EO*: Miss Santiago is free to join this is a simple run. Get to the berth quickly we depart soon.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Reports are... conflicting about what to expect from the Vroa at this point. I can't even get a straight answer if we're technically in a state of conflict with them or not.
CIV_Nyira says:
@::over hearing she smiles and finishes packing for Joe quickly:: Joe: ok let's go
CTO_LtJG_On says:
:: goes to his station at the ship ::
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@*XO*: Thank you sir
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@::grabs his always ready away bag and nods to Nyira:: Nyira: You got that right
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: They attacked the station and to our knowledge have not surrendered. If Command remains mute despite numerous attempts, we must be prepared for the worst.
CIV_Nyira says:
@::looks at the bag he pulled out from nowhere and sighs:: Joe: should have known you were prepared. ::she tosses the second bag on the bed and holds out her free hand to him::
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@CEO: Santiago has not been on Arcadia long and she is already clearly making friends with the officers. I have to admit I do not know most the civilians on Arcadia but for some reason ever since we met her at the Fez she has stuck in my head. She has a … er . um unforgettable quality.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@::the turbo lift stops and opens revealing their destination the Q can be seen in all its wonder out the nearest station viewport the docking lights beaming against the hull::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: A few scattered attacks doesn't mean anything. We could be dealing with a violent faction, or a rogue military group. You know the Federation is typically hesitant and resistant to admit armed conflicts against galactic powers.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
@::Looks out at the Q:: ::sighs:: XO: You know I always get green in the face on these rides
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::She looks at the XO a vague humor in her eyes::XO: unforgettable quality of course Sir.....
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@::grabs her hand:: Nyira: Let's go, we don't have much time
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@::hurries out of the room towards the turbolift with Nyira in tow::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Walks with the XO checking into the Quirinus::
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
@CEO: Sorry I guess that was out of line perhaps I should keep my personal comments to myself huh?
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
@::Greeting the others then turns to XO:: XO: Quite alright Sir if you did that wouldn't be nearly as amusing.
CIV_Nyira says:
@::runs with Joe towards the turbolift:: Joe: I wasn't expecting to get a chance to go to earth this soon. I'm nervous. what if he doesn't remember me? ::she looks down still keeping pace with Joe::
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
::checks out with the dock security and in with the officer of the watch just inside the Q::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: I would be unwise to assume the least. If it is the least, then nothing is lost. Prepare the sensors by adapting the scope technology.
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::She did grin that time at the XO a small one with a gentle humor.::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::Follows check in procedures::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: I thought engineering was already working on that, but I will double check.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: There is just something about having your expertise with any weapon that I find more… reassuring.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Is this where you repeat the human adage about "assuming"?
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@CIV: You are his daughter, he will remember you ::enters the turbolift:: Computer: Quirinus
CIV_Nyira says:
@::looking at Joe:: Joe: how do you know? what if he had a head injury or something or it was too painful so he pushed it out of his mind? :: sighing she leaned against him for a moment:: I guess I'll just have to wait and see ::looking at Joe again:: You will come with me right?
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
CEO: The Captain and I need you on the Bridge for a briefing. We are headed to earth because Starfleet specifically requested you Lieutenant.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: I personally would deduce but I understand your meaning. It was popular among professors at the Academy.
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@Nyira: Of course I will
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
XO: Yes Sir..::Seems a little puzzled:: XO: I knew they liked my ideas but I didn't think it made that much of a dent...::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::A junior engineer officer gets the CEO's bag to take to her quarters on ship::
CIV_Nyira says:
@::sighs in relief not sure what she'd do without Joe::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Takes a short step back and taps his combadge :: *CEO*: Powers to Takor.
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
@::arrives at the docking port with Nyira:: Nyira: Here we go ::walks into the docking port::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
*CSec*: Takor here.
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
::enters the Quirinus with Nyira::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::Pauses in the corridor of the Quirinus::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, did any of your personnel begin work on adapting the Vroa sensing technology to the ship or station sensors?
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
TL: Bridge
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
*CSec*: Yes Sir, there was some trouble with the conversion forms but it is in progress. Would you like the information so far sent to your console?
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: Make ready. Request permission to undock.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
*CEO*: No thank you. I'm sure the Captain and I will see you shortly, he was most curious about the progress.
CIV_Nyira says:
::looks around thinking that the ship looked really small::
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
*CSec*: Yes Sir. I'm on my way.
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::heads for nearest TL::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Course laid in for sector 001 Earth. As soon as we are clear engage at warp 7.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::arrives on the bridge, tosses his bag to an assistant, and climbs into his chair at Science 1::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::nods to the CSO::
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::returns the CO's nod::
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
*CSec*: Commander Powers I nearly forgot to mention. that a Civilian requested a ride to Earth. Miss Nyira Santiago has my leave to be aboard the Quirinus.  Make sure she has no trouble with Security. Sorry I forgot to inform you it was my mistake Commander.
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::Arrives on the bridge and heads for the CO::CO: Lt. JG Takor reporting as instructed Sir.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Takor: Did I request your presence?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Turns to glance at the Captain :: *XO*: Very well...
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
Nyira: I'll drop you off at my quarters and then I'll head to Engineering to check in
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
::right behind the CEO:: CO: Captain.
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
CO: Yes Sir. ::Glances at the XO:: CO: I was informed you wanted me on the Bridge.
CIV_Nyira says:
::she nods:: Joe: ok any ideas on what i should do while I'm there?
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::Steps to the side to clear the path to the Captain for the XO::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to face the XO:: Chambers: Care to take her out?
FC_CPO_Dwight says:
@COM: Quirinus: You are cleared for immediate departure.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
::looks at the CO and swallows but tries not to let his nervousness show::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Takor: I had suggested that the adaptation of the scope specs might be worth his working with you. I don't know that it necessarily required your presence.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
CO: Aye Sir.
EO_LtJG_Reese says:
Nyira: This is somewhat a battle cruiser, there aren't a lot of entertainment aboard, and the quarters are small
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he rises:: Chambers: XO, you have the Con. It is a rite of passage.
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::Glances at the XO knowing full well he told her she was wanted on the bridge but mentally shrugs::CO: Yes Sir, I'll get to engineering then and continue work on the adaptions
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
::opens a all circuit:: ALL: This is the XO have the Conn.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Takor: Of course. I apologize if there was a miscommunication. ::he moves to stand behind the command chair::
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
OPS: Retract all moorings. Cut umbilicals
CEO_LtJG_Takor says:
::Moves out of the way but pauses to watch the ship to leave.::
FO_Flyer says:
XO: Clearance given, course and speed laid in. Awaiting your orders.
CSO_LtCmdr_Starr says:
::halfcocked smile:: XO: yea, just try not to passage us rite into another ship or the station doors
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
FCO: Increase power Aft Thrusters 5 percent power.
FO_Flyer says:
XO: Detached and thruster at 5, aye
FO_Flyer says:
XO: We are clear of the station ready to make the jump to warp.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
CO: We are clear of the Station sir. Ready for warp.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Chambers: Engage, Warp 7
Captain_Bodine says:
#::aboard the Runabout USS Tigress:: COM: Arcadia Station: This is Captain John Bodine I am on assignment and have some data that I have collected. I need it analyzed by the computer which would take weeks in the Runabout. Permission to Dock.
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
CO: Warp 7 Aye
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
FCO: Lock Course Warp 7, Engage.

ACTION: The Quirinus warps away at warp 7, while Bodine's runabout approaches the station and prepares to dock

FO_Flyer says:
::moving to throttle position:: XO Aye,
FC_CPO_Dwight says:
@COM: USS Tigress: Permission Granted
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: Well done.
Captain_Bodine says:
#::notices a ship leaving the station:: Self: I wonder were the Q is headed

ACTION: One day later, the ship picks up an incoming Priority One message from Starfleet

OPS_LtJG_Lorin says:
CO: Sir Priority Communication from Starfleet.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moving back to the command chair: Ops: On screen
OPS_LtJG_Lorin says:
CO: Aye Sir on screen
XO_LtCmdr_Chambers says:
::wonders if their orders have altered already::

ACTION: An all call is heard from the speakers: This is Starfleet Command to all available ships, we expect attacks on the Sol and Vulcan systems are imminent...
