Mission Transcript
Time Lapse: 20 Minutes
Previously on Arcadia
Over the last 8 months life on Arcadia has settled into an interesting routine as trade routes in the sector have changed recently
There are several popular trade routes that now travel through the 39 Leonis system on their way either to or from either Klingon or Cardassian space
Aboard the station Promenade, the new Nyira's Pub and Pebble Spa has become the de-facto hangout and most popular place to eat or drink in the sector in the 8 months since it has opened.
The waiting list for reservations in the pebble spa is starting to stretch towards 3 weeks and Nyira has been considering options for expansion.
Meanwhile ships are constantly coming in and out of the station. Engineering crews are always busy assisting in maintenance, and the shipyards has never been so busy
An Andorian freighter with a shipment of Ore has just docked at Arcadia as a stop on a supply run to Romulan space

CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain’s Log Stardate 11408.11 Arcadia has been busier than ever and there have been a lot of new faces around the station. For the moment things have been running fairly smoothly which is a pleasant change of pace. I haven’t heard from Temporal Investigations yet about our little shift in the timeline, but they are likely just taking their time with their investigation I expect
to be hearing from them sometime in the near future. For now we move forward and do our jobs.
Resume "Ice" - Episode II
CIV Nyira says:
::After getting the Andorian Pira all settled with drink and food she looks to see if Jade is still around::

CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::At the tactical station working with Hastings to complete their test of the outlining sensor satalites.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: If these Andorian’s are going to be around awhile, might I suggest limited access to the station, as they are headed for Romulan Space, and the less they see, they less they know, the less they can tell the Romulans if asked any questions.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Still working at a table in Nyira’s::

CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Andorian's have been not only our allies but full federation members since the founding. Besides this is more a matter for Ensign Cadarn is it not?

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Sends a text message to an engineer, "Engineer: I told you that you have re-calibrate the inverted gravimetric conduit or we'll loss efficiency now you have to replace the harmonic governance hub.... "::
::She texts to engineer after reviewing results of some diagnostics::
CIV Nyira says:
::sees Jade still at the table she goes over:: CEO: Hey I was meaning to give this to you but got distracted by Trivan. ::hands Jade the PADD with her requisition request.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Probably, but it was only a suggestion
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: The Andorian's actually listed Romulan space as their destination though? How curious. That is interesting. I did not know Andoria was on good terms with the Romulans.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Looks up and with a smile takes the PADD, skimming it.::Nyira: He's a sore loser if you ask me... ::she says studying the requests.::
TO SCPO Hastings (CTO Ens Cadarn) says:
CTO: Sir we are down to the last ring of satellites. Pings should be complete within the next 10 minutes.::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: TO: Very good. ::Said distractedly, he was busy looking over the results they had gathered so far.::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Neither did I. So you understand my concern, and as you know, my job as Flight Control is to know who is coming in and where they are coming from, and who is going out and where they are going.
CO: So when something seems out of place that I feel warrants your attention, I let you know these things
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: We must be careful not to profile our guests to openly Ensign; still their destination does deserve some merit it was good of you to notice. And as it is your job to monitor incoming traffic it was wise to mention the information. Go ahead and forward it to Tactical, the CTO can decide what to do.
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: yeah he has to work harder to keep his customers now I think he got lazy over the years.
Pira says:
::sets her cup on the table and calls out:: Another!
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Yes sir. ::forwards information regarding the Andorian’s and their destination to the CTO::
Trish (Barbara Moline) says:
Pira: sure thing anything else I can get you just let me know the boss :: motions to Nyira at the table with the CEO:: says to make sure you are taken care of. ::she works on another Andorian Ale for Pira::
ACTION: 2 scheduled freighters due to arrive in the next hour arrive early
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: I agree. Well this looks ok, nothing here we can't get easily...::Double Checks and signs off on it, sending it to central processing.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
::checks his command operations overview:: FCO: We have two early arrivals do we have room to dock them?
Pira says:
::takes the ale from Trish and takes a swig:: Trish: Fantastic, I'd swear this was a 2273 vintage, how did you ever manage to get such a rare vintage?
FCO Ens Doole says:
::monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic:: Self: Interesting. CO: I see em Captain. No, I don't. They aren't scheduled to arrive till near the top of the hour.
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: thanks I had some request I was worried I wouldn't be able to fulfill. So what do you think about the idea of adding Holodecks to the place? ::asks a passing server to get her an earth soda from the bar.::
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Mister Cadarn, what is the current capacity report on the Promenade, and find out the crew compliment of the arrivals make sure we can accommodate their compliment on the Station. I do not want to overwhelm local services.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::contacts freighters: *Freighters*: This is Ensign JT Doole, Flight Control Officer of Arcadia Station. You are not scheduled to be here till the top of this hour. Why have you arrived early?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: possible but it would require some serious reconstruction, this place wasn't built as a place with holodecks so we'd have to install the energy grid from scratch...
::Pulls out a PADD and calls up a schematic of Nyira's place::Nyira: And you'd have to give up storage unless you can get someone on either side to sell you some of their space then we can knock down a wall, here or here...::Points::
Ralph Van (Nick Moline) says:
@COM: Arcadia: My apologies for our early arrival Arcadia, we simply made better time than anticipated.
FCO Ens Doole says:
COM: *Ralph Van*: Understood. However, I do not have a landing pad available for you. Please proceed to holding pattern Delta 5.
Trish (Barbara Moline) says:
::laughs:: Pira: I don't ask but Nyira has her ways of getting what she wants. I've seen her charm a Ktarian for his best Chocolate Puff Recipe.
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Van: This is Arcadia Station Operations, Captain John Bodine, Commanding Officer, welcome to Arcadia. I am working with my Flight Operations to find you a berth if you need it. How can we be of service Captain?

CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods to the captain as he pulls up the current internal scans of the promenade.:: CO: We're nearing what I'm comfortable with, with my current security team as well as an estimate on what the business can handle. ::Checks the information on the incoming freighters.:: We can perhaps allow 1/4 of their crew compliment at the moment.
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: I didn't think we'd have to move them they are just above here on the third level right?
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Landing Pad C*: What's the hold up with that shuttle leaving. They were supposed to be gone 10 minutes ago. Why haven't they left yet?
CO Capt Bodine says:
COM: Van: Captain, we can safely provide service to a quarter of your current crew compliment on the station. Select whoever you would like to send over, we can either schedule regular beam ins or shuttle service. Will you need to make use of our dry docks there should be space for you there?
Trish (Barbara Moline) says:
Pira: I don't know how or why but she seems to know exactly what to say or do to make any Cardassian do what she wants even the females. I think it has something to do with her past.
FCO Ens Doole says:
Self: and why hasn't the other freighter answered?
Ralph Van (Nick Moline) says:
@COM: CO: Oh we don't need much Captain, we are good on supplies at current, just need a place to cool the warp coils a bit, and perhaps cool my throat with some Aldebaran Whiskey.
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: I assumed the Captain who is speaking to us is speaking for both of them.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: That we can do. trying to clear Landing Pad C now for them.
CO: I reckon
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: Well you have a couple of storage rooms on the 3rd floor but the place prior to this didn't have any so we'd need to put an energy grid in place for it plus the other equipment. Doable but it will take time; I may have to request some parts. Fortunately we've got a bulk for replacing the other holodecks on station but let me check the inventory...
Pira says:
Trish: That charming eh?
CO Capt Bodine says:
::smiles:: COM: Van: word has Nyira's may have just what you need. Come on over we will do our best to make room for as many of your crew as we can.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: I can put in a request for the parts we don't have, most of what I remember having is replacement parts but the full kit I'd have to check...::pulls another PADD toward her and begins tapping distractedly::
Landing pad operator (Nick Moline) says:
*FCO*: Sorry Ensign, the pilot seems to have had a bit too much to drink at Nyira’s; he's passed out on the floor of his shuttle.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::more firmly:: *Landing Pad C*: That wasn't a rhetorical question. Why is that shuttle STILL on my landing pad?
CIV Nyira says:
::starts to wonder if it’s worth the effort:: CEO: do you think it’s a good investment?
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Can you go down to the landing pad and see what can be done about that? Or send a team.
Trish (Barbara Moline) says:
Pira: oh yes she also likes to make people happy I think that is why this place is doing so well she has a knack for knowing what someone needs even if they don't.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::growls in frustration:: *Landing Pad C*: Then force feed him 2 ounces of Miscal with 3 ounces of Soju, wake his ass up and get him outta here.
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Get a couple runabout pilots up in the air and provide shuttle service as needed.
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Looks thoughtful:: Nyira: They are popular...::Thinks:: Nyira: I could write an search algorithm to determine number of hours the holodecks are in use but that would require permission from the businesses affected. I know they get heavy use because we're always replacing parts that much I can tell you....::shrugs::
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Landing Pad C*: And I want it done 5 minutes ago!
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Remembers she has a drink and takes a sip::
Landing pad operator (Nick Moline) says:
*FCO* I'm sorry sir, but regulations will prohibit me allowing him to leave the station in his condition.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
CO: I'm just waiting for results here captain so I can take care of it though if he's that drunk I'll have to take him into custody, so his shuttle isn't going anywhere with him.
Pira says:
Trish: A Useful skill to have, especially as a woman of business.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Landing Pad C*: Then I suggest you get his ass to the Sick Bay, get another pilot from his crew, and get that shuttle off the Pad and into holding pattern Sierra until he sobers up. I want that Pad empty. Make it happen
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: It is something to think about that is for sure. I will also talk with my dad when he gets back from his trip.
CO Capt Bodine says:
CTO: Agreed, if he is just passed out on his ship there is no crime, but if his ship was powered up and it looks like he intended to depart then by all means arrest him. One of our pilots can move his ship to the dry dock.
FCO Ens Doole says:
::gets the runabout pilots airborne:: CO: Runabout Pilots in the air.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Nods.:: CO: Understood captain. ::Talks with Hastings for a moment before heading for the lift.:: Computer: Landing pad C.
Trish (Barbara Moline) says:
Pira: Indeed. You need anything else Hun my shift is about over. ::smiles kindly::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: He went on a trip? Where did he go? ::She asks looking up the holodeck parts inventory::
Landing pad operator (Nick Moline) says:
*FCO* I don't like your tone Ensign, you may be the FCO, but you don't outrank me and I'll only tolerate your yelling orders that violate regulations for so long. Mister T'Bai was piloting this shuttle solo, I'm afraid there's nobody to pilot his shuttle without him, nor will regulations allow me to override his computer lockout and commandeer his shuttle, so I'm afraid this pad is staying just as it is.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Landing Pad C*: Then YOU tell the Captain he can't have his landing Pad
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Steps out of the lift and moves down the corridor to the landing pad.:: Landing Pad Operator: I'll take our "guest" from here. What was the status of his ship when you found him? Powered up?
Landing pad operator (Nick Moline) says:
::starts filling out a complaint for human resources::
CTO: He was about half-way through his pre-flight checklist, he hadn't powered up the engines yet.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::taps a message out on his computer:: *Nyira*: When you have time we should speak for a few moments let me know your schedule for the next few weeks. Signed: Captain Bodine. ::he hits send::
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: yeah he went on a trip with Tira leaving the twins here with me
ACTION: The personnel department receives a complaint
CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Laughs::Nyira: How are you holding up with the terror twins?
Lieutenant Quin (Nick Moline) says:
Pete: Oh look a complaint, I bet you an hour of holosuite time rations it's about Doole again.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Considers for a moment.:: LP Operator: I'll take him to the drunk tank for now, I can hold him for disrupting normal station operations. Once he's sobered up I'll send him on his way.
Lieutenant Pete (Nick Moline) says:
Quin: No way I'm taking that bet
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: don't get me started when I see them again I’m going to have them count every straw we have 5 times
FCO Ens Doole says:
::sighs:: Self: There's always something. Nothing like a good fight for Truth, Justice, and an empty landing pad
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: I sense that will go well, it's tough to keep bored kids busy otherwise they will find their own fun. Have you enrolled them in school yet? That's at least 8 hours where they have to be tied down somewhere...::she quipps::
FCO Ens Doole says:
::calmly:: *Landing Pad C*: The Captain really needs that pad. Is there any way to get his shuttle off of it and into Dry Dock
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: can I enroll them if it’s only for a week?
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Landing Pad C*: just long enough for him to sober up, and send him on his way
CIV Nyira says:
::looks hopeful::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: Only a week, they aren't staying on board?
Newt (Nick Moline) says:
#COM: FCO: This is Captain Newt aboard the Freighter Taina on Landing Pad B, I know I'm not scheduled to leave for another 6 hours, but I am all stocked up and ready to go, and time is Money, any chance I can leave a bit early?
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Ask the Landing pad tech if the pilot is arrested if that will allow him to move the ship in question then?
FCO Ens Doole says:
COM: *Captain Newt*: standby.
Landing pad operator (Nick Moline) says:
*FCO* We'd have to have some work bees come and tractor it outa here, we can't simply fly it.
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: No Dad is still talking with Tira about moving here I think this twin free vacation is to help sway her to want to stay.
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CTO* What is the status down there?
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: Ah well in that case...::thinks:: Nyira: What do they like to do? maybe we can occupy them. I remember the trouble I could get into if left alone and that doesn't bare thinking on...::grins::
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Captain Newt, on Landing Pad B says he's stocked and ready to go, even though he's not scheduled to depart for another 6 hours, and is requesting early departure.
Trish (CIV Nyira) says:
::finishes up her shift and sees that a message came through for Nyira from the CO she puts it to a PADD and takes it over to her before she heads home::
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
*CO*: His shuttle's engines weren't powered up when he was found, was doing his preflight. I'm going to hold him for now on a charge of disrupting station operations, put him in a cell until he's sobered up.
CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Granted clear him a path and let him leave. Wish him well and send him on his way.
FCO Ens Doole says:
*Landing Pad C*: Standby. CO: Landing Pad C says we'd have to use the work bees and tractor his shuttle off of C.
ACTION: The personnel complaint is processed and the Captain's console gets a chirp with the official filed complaint.
FCO Ens Doole says:
COM: *Captain Newt*: Departure Permission Granted. Wish you well, and may the winds stay at your back, Arcadia out.
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CTO*: Your call but don't hold him more than 8 hours. Is he one of our officers? Or is he non-Starfleet?
CIV Nyira says:
CEO: I'm not sure what 11 year old boys like to do. When I was 11 I was only sure of what adults liked to do with 11 year old girls. ::sighs:: but let’s not go into that.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Moves into the shuttle and grabs the drunk under the arm to prop him up and half carry and half drag him out.:: Drunk: Come on buddy lets go find you a bed. ::Awkwardly taps his badge.:: *CO*: Just planned to hold him long enough that we don't risk him trying to fly this drunk. He's a civi.
CIV Nyira says:
::gets the PADD from Trish and wishes her a good night:: CEO: looks like the Captain would like a chat I’ll see you later ::smiles at her friend::
CEO LtJg Takor says:
Nyira: You don't have to talk about it if you don't want too but I will point out I know people who have a number of certain skills from the Bajoran resistance who owe my family favors...::She said seriously and soberly.::
Nyira: Alright then, see you later...
Newt (Nick Moline) says:
#COM: FCO: Thanks Arcadia, see you on the flip side.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::looks down at his console reads it and frowns:: FCO: You are not making friends with the Landing pad operators Mister Doole. If someone out-ranks you, you need to give them proper deference. I need your relationship with all of Traffic operations to go smoothly.
CIV Nyira says:
::heads to her office to send a message to the CO letting him know she is available whenever he needs::
ACTION: The Taina departs Landing Pad B, work bees come to take away the shuttle at Landing Pad C away
ACTION: Aboard the Andorian freighter, a crate of food under deep cold storage cracks, and the super cold coolant starts to leak, slowly lowering the temperature in the shuttle. No alarms are triggered yet...
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Permission to speak candidly?
CO Capt Bodine says:
*CTO*: Very good thank you Ensign. I will need a physical description of the pilot. Going to ask Nyira is she tried to offer the man a room for the night.
CTO Ens Cadarn says:
::Dragging the drunk down the corridor he hopes the man doesn't end up puking on him.:: *CO*: Understood captain, I'll send you a photo once I have him situated.
Pira says:
::happily drinking his ale:: barmaid: Tell me, do you have any Andorian food options on your menu?

CO Capt Bodine says:
FCO: Very well
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: Just because I could rope a tornado and ride it outta town, doesn't make me the hero.
CO Capt Bodine says:
::blinks:: FCO: I have never met a Klingon that speaks like you. I am afraid the joke is lost on me.
FCO Ens Doole says:
CO: What I mean by that is, it is my job to run the traffic lanes and try to run things as smoothly as possible and deal with any problems that arise, not make friends with every town folk on the station. 
CO: However, I do see your point.
