Mission Transcript
Adm Regnum says:
Previously on Arcadia

Over the last several months traffic through Arcadia station has increased dramatically as it has become a popular stopping point of a major trade route through Federation space between the Cardassian union and the Klingon and Romulan empires.

In order to address the increased subspace communications in the area, Admiral Regnum of Starfleet Communications and Lieutenant Peterson of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers are visiting Arcadia to perform upgrades to the Subspace Transceiver array.

Yesterday they completed a level 10 diagnostic of the array and have been working up plans for the upgrades now that they know what they are dealing with.
As the array was going down for the 6 hour diagnostic, the station seemed to receive a distress call from a ship reported missing 5 years ago.

Once the diagnostic was complete, it was discovered that the message has been stuck in the transceiver array for 5 years and in fact may have been the last communication ever sent by the U.S.S. Rana.
After triangulating the source of the 5 year old signal, the U.S.S. Anderson under the command of Captain Yan has gone off to investigate further in hopes of finding what happened to the lost ship.

CO Capt Bodine says:
Captain’s Log, Stardate 11501.05

Without further information on the aged distress call investigation on that front has been halted for now and we have refocused our efforts on the Station upgrades again.

I have the pleasure to welcome a new Senior Officer to Arcadia today. Ensign Alenis will be taking over as my Senior Operations Officer.

EO Lt Peterson says:
::finishes getting dressed in the luxury suite::

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
::Arrives in engineering and is being debriefed by the 3rd shift duty officer.::

TO CPL Kaas says:
::Stands outside CO's door in combat utility uniform and presses the buzzer. Adjusting his patrol cap while waiting.::

CIV Nyira says:
:: watches Tony as she lays in bed::

CO Capt Bodine says:
Door: Enter!

TO CPL Kaas says:
:: The Corporal steps inside the door before coming to attention and saluting::

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
::Signs off on the nights report and dismisses the duty officer before heading to her office to see what the day holds.::

EO Lt Peterson  says:
CIV: I can't remember when I've had less sleep but felt more rested.

CO Capt Bodine says:
TO: Corporal Kaas, at ease. What can I do for you?

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Takes a deep breath and finishes straightening uniform as the turbolift comes to a stop. Steps into OPS and takes a quick look around::

CIV Nyira says:
::smiles:: EO: I'm sure Trish feels the same. ::stretches and slowly gets out of bed::

TO CPL Kaas says:
::Lowers the salute and moves forward towards the desk:: CO: Protocol states that matters be brought up to the most senior SFMC staff. However since I am one of only two Marines on station I have to bring it to Station CO. I wish to discuss the current climate of Arcadia.

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
::Checks her logs from messages from Lt. Peterson or the Admiral, seeing none sends a notice to the Admiral indicating her readiness to assist. After that begins to schedule a full inspection of the drydock and related structures.::
::Mutters to self, "Will have to do a full scan and eye ball it, going to take time...."::

EO Lt Peterson says:
blushes at the mention of Trish:: CIV: You think so? I must say I was very surprised when you invited her over last night.

CO Capt Bodine says:
TO: This sounds like a deep subject, would a filed report not be more appropriate? If you have immediate concerns please feel free to offer a brief summary.

CIV Nyira says:
::walks up to Tony and gives him a hug and kiss goodbye:: EO: Got to get as much fun in as we can don't we? ::Smiles:: Have a good shift i'm going to enjoy my off time with a nice bath.

OPS Lorin says:
OPS: Are you my relief?

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Heads over to the ready room and rings the buzzer::

TO CPL Kaas says:
::Keeps a straight face but manages a small smile:: CO: All my reports get sent to my CO who is several AUs from Arcadia. Anyways given the increase of traffic from every foreign government given it's location. While they may be friendly as of now, I feel it would be prudent to request a permanent defensive SFMC garrison be stationed here.

EO Lt Peterson says:
CIV: We sure do. Will there be any more fun tonight? ::he asks hopefully::

CO Capt Bodine says:
::indicates with his hand that the Corporal pause for a moment:: Door: Enter
TO CPL Kaas says:
::Pausing as he looks towards the door::

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Steps into the ready room and salutes:: CO: Ensign Alenis Tarel reporting for duty, Captain

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
::Makes a few com calls setting up the full review of the drydock area, trying to coordinate while keeping herself reasonably free in Case the Admiral requires assistance is not easy::

::stands and offers his hand:: OPS: Ensign a pleasure, you have your orders with you Ensign?

CIV Nyira says:
EO: You are welcome to have any guest up here you like but I'm busy at the bar tonight.

OPS Lorin says:
Guesses that the new officer didn't hear her on her way to the ready room, tries not to take offense at it::

OPS Ens Alenis says:
CO: Yes sir. ::hands her transfer orders to the Captain::

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
::Continues to work from her office trying to coordinate the massive project of the inspection, review and recommendations while making sure their other duties are met.::

EO Lt Peterson (Adm Regnum) says:
CIV: Oh.. well probably best to have a night of actual sleep anyway... ::tries not to sound disappointed:: CIV: Well, duty calls ::heads to the door:: I best not be late again.

TO CPL Kaas says:
::The Marine remains silent as the officers talk, interrupting them would be a bad sign of military discipline::

CO Capt Bodine says:
::motions to the TO:: OPS: Ensign this is Corporal Kaas he and his wife Assist with station security as well as handle a local recruitment office. ::peers at the orders:: OPS: These appear to be in order. Welcome aboard.

CIV Nyira says:
::nods and heads into the bath::

TO CPL Kaas says:
::Salutes the Ensign:: Ma'am

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Smiles and nods to Kaas:: TO: Corporal. Good to meet you

CO Capt Bodine says:
OPS: Please return to Operations and get a sit rep. from Lt. Tracy Lorin. I will be there shortly. Assume the watch until I am done here please.

EO Lt Peterson says:
::heads out the door and to the turbolift wondering if the fun for this trip is at an end, as he walks through the pub he smiles at Trish on his way out the door, he then heads to the Admiral's office::

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Nods:: CO: Right away, Captain. ::Steps out of the ready room and heads towards Lorin:: Lorin: Are you Lt. Lorin?

::takes a seat and motions that the TO do the same::

Adm Regnum says:
::meets up with Peterson in the hall and nods as they enter the office:: EO: How did you sleep Lieutenant?

TO CPL Kaas says:
::Sits down and nods:: Permission to continue sir?

EO Lt Peterson says:
Adm: Not as much as I should have, but it was a good night anyway ::tries not to blush and to keep thoughts of the night from the forefront of his mind in the presence of the Betazoid::

Adm Regnum says:
~~~ CO: I think I owe you a pint John ~~~ EO: I see, well hopefully you are rested enough; we've got to get the plan formalized and submitted to the Captain, the CEO and Starfleet.

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
*Admiral*: Sir this is Takor, do you require any further assistance at this time?

OPS Lorin says:
looks up at Alenis:: OPS: That's me, and you must be Ensign Tarel?

CIV Nyira says:
::after hearing Tony leave she decides take let her guard down and take stock of herself while she is alone.::

FCO Ens Doole says:
::working with the engineers::

Adm Regnum says:
*CEO*: I'll be submitting our plan of action for the upgrades shortly Lieutenant Takor, just going over the plan with Peterson now.

CEO Ltjg Taor says:
*Admiral*:Excellent Sir, please let me know if you require anything further.

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Grimaces slightly before responding:: Lorin: Alenis, actually. Bajoran names are....funny that way. I'm supposed to get a sitrep from you before I take over.

EO Lt Peterson says:
Adm: You think they'll approve this plan, it's pretty aggressive.

Adm Regnum says:
EO: I'm sure they will

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Signs off on a plan for the inspection and forwards it to the CO while she talks to the Admiral::

OPS Lorin says:
OPS: Sorry mam, I didn't mean to offend. There's not much going on at the moment. We're waiting for a plan of upgrade from the Admiral who is going to upgrade our subspace array, that will likely cause us to have to reroute internal communications.

And Engineering is going to be doing some maintenance in the ship yards that will require the flight control team to make sure whole sections of the ship yards are unused at once.
OPS: But both of those are pending, not much going on currently.

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Smiles at Lorin:: OPS_Lorin: No offense taken. And you don't have to call me that. I want to be a friend first and foremost. Thanks for the report, I guess I'll take over for now.

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Sends a copy of the suggested drydock review play to the FCO as well as the Captain for any possible changes::

OPS Lorin (Adm Regnum) says:
OPS: The desk is yours, will be nice to be moved to beta shift for a while, Nyira's is much less crowded during alpha shift. ::gets up and gestures to the chair::

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Sits down and looks up at Lorin:: Lorin: Nyira's?

Adm Regnum says:
ACTION: After several minutes more of revising the plan, the Admiral and Peterson transmit their plan to the CO, CEO and Starfleet.

CIV Nyira says:
::finishes her bath and gets dressed, she decides to take a stroll around the station::

OPS Lorin (Adm Regnum) says:
OPS: The most popular bar and restaurant on the Promenade, opened up about 8 months ago. You should check it out after your shift. Actually me and some of the Engineers are planning on meeting up there later tonight, you could join us if you like

FCO Ens Doole says:
::finalizes a schedule for the the dry dock repairs, signs it, and submits it to the CO::

OPS Ens Alenis says:
OPS_Lorin: I'd like that. Thank you.

CEO LtJg Takor says:
::Tries to ignore a throbbing headache as she works, rubs her eyes and continues to bend over her console.::

OPS Lorin (Adm Regnum) says:
OPS: Great, 21:00, first round's on me.

OPS Ens Alenis says:
::Smiles at Lorin:: Lorin: I'm looking forward to it. ::watches Lorin leave and starts running a quick check over everything before settling into the new chair::
