Mission Transcript
NickMoline (Command) says:
GLOBAL SCENE: 
Previously on Arcadia

The crew is separated, part on the station, part on the fleet yard
They were split up to work on preparations to unify the station and the fleet yard.

While split up, the station and fleet yard was hit with some sort of Electromagnetic Pulse which took out all power on both the station and the yard.

Subsequent pulses have hit approximately once an hour (a little shy of that) taking out any device that was powered up.

Previously powered down devices come back online approximately 5 pulses after they went offline.

The crew now works to figure out 1) How to keep key systems running, 2) Where the pulses are coming from and 3) How to defend against the pulses or stop them.

CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
Captain's Log Stardate 11510.05 We continue to work through the waves of EMP pulses to find a solution to our current crisis. I would like to focus on getting Takor, the 2 Corporals and Myself back to Arcadia so we can get everyone together again. We will maintain communications with Arcadia and continue to do what we can to help.

RESUME "Cold Fusion" -- Episode V
CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
CEO: So Arcadia Transporters are out, can we initiate transport from here? I would like to return to Arcadia if at all possible Lieutenant.
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Give me a moment and I'll find out Sir. ::Bends over a console and begins working::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
::In operations trying to coordinate with his teams and the other departments.:: *OPS*: We should be coming up on the next pulse soon are we ready to shut down life support and comms again?
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
*CTO*: Yes sir, Life Support and Comms are ready to power down on your signal
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Not active, checking systems...
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
*OPS*: Power down 5 minutes before we expect the pulse, play it safe for now.
TO CPO McGregor (CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia)) says:
Walks through the promenade with Felix heading for Nyira's.::
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
*CTO*: Roger that

CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
CEO: What about work bees I know we have some, how long would a trip in a be take to get to Arcadia, I know if we were out in one when a wave hit but surely there is enough time. I want a solution on the table that gets all 4 of us back to the Station.
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
::starts up a batch command to shut down Life Support and Comms and initiates it::
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Transporters are fried for at least a few more hours, pulse is due any minute now...
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
::Glances at the timer he had up on the tricorder on the console in front of him. Should be any minute, he shuts down the padd and signals the other in ops to shutdown as well.:: *Station Personnel*: Another pulse is incoming shut down anything that is powered up
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
::Checks that Life Support and Comms have begun to power down before shutting off her PADD::
TO CPO McGregor (CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia)) says:
Hearing the call from Cadarn he pauses and reaches down shutting off his tricorder, flashlight and phaser rifle.::
CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
CO: okay let’s shut down again in preparation of the next pulse. ::movers over various consoles assisting::
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
::Thinks::CO: Already on it...::She says securing systems...::
Adm Regnum (Arcadia) says:
ACTION: Now that there is warning, OPS is able to shutdown all active systems successfully
Adm Regnum (Yard) says:
ACTION: With enough warning, the CEO is safely able to shutdown all active systems except her small shielded area surrounding a now active tricorder
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Systems secured.
Adm Regnum (Command) says:
GLOBAL ACTION: The next EMP wave hits, the small shielded areas containing active tricorders based on Takor's EMP Shield design stay operational, the tricorders are able to detect the wave
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
::Distracted by the tricorder she studies the readouts::
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
::after feeling the wave hit, starts turning Life Support and COmms back online::
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Sir can you 'send' this data to the Admiral?
TO CPO McGregor (CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia)) says:
After the pulse hits he flips his gear back on and walks the last way down the promenade into Nyria's pub glancing around at the people gathered there.::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
::Begins flipping back on the tricorders and lights.:: *OPS*: Were we able to get everything down and back up again?
CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
CEO: Bring the Comms back, send the data that way and share your tricorder readings/
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Yes right, sorry I think I got used to nothing working...::Immediately re-connects the coms and sends the data...
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
*CTO*: Yes sir, Life Support should be operational in moments. I'm going to start working on a simple shield that Engineering came up with, see if we can't keep Life Support online always
CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
::given he spend 2 years in command of a Starfleet Science vessel he takes a glance at the Tricorder readings to see if he can see any useful meaning to the data received::
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
::hoping they can use the deflector to increase the protective yield of the shield design::

CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
*OPS*: Understood, but make sure you test if fully before leave life support up and running during a burst. As soon as sensor come back up make sure we shut them down or shield them as well so we can get an idea of what is going on.
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
*CTO*: Roger that
::starts working on building an EMP Shield based on the design from Takor::

CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
COM: Yard: CO: Captain this is Lt Cadarn come in.
CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
COM: Arcadia: CTO: This is the Captain I read you Lieutenant, what is your status? It appears we may finally have some useful readings.
TO CPO McGregor (CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia)) says:
::Not spotting Nyira right away he moves through the gathered people stopping to talk to a few of them as he went assuring them they were working on everything and it was under control.::
CIV Nyira (Arcadia) says:
::works with some others in the Pub to move tables to make room for palets on the floor for resting there is a hushed tone::
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
COM: Yard: CO: We currently have life support and comms online though most other systems are still offline. Lt Alenis is working on the shield tech Takor designed and I have her prioritizing our sensor network next time it comes online. Anything useful from your readings?
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
::While the captain talks tries to find out if any of the worker bees were in shut down mode previously::
::Then brings up sensor grid to review that as well::
TO CPO McGregor (CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia)) says:
Spots Nyira and moves towards her.:: CIV: Chief Petty Officer McGregor ma'am. Lt Cadarn wanted me and Felix here to come assist you in any way we can.
CIV Nyira (Arcadia) says:
CPO: Thank you

CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
COM: Arcadia: CTO: Sounds good, get the tricorder readings down to the experts in Science if possible. I a trying to find a way to get all of us who are on the Yard back to Arcadia. I a thinking we use work bees in the next window provided we can find enough working. the CEO may have to give us all a crash course in operating them their controls were designed for engineers in mind not pilots.

CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
COM: Yard: CO: Understood sir, will get the data down to science. I can see if any of the shuttles or runabouts can be powered up, some of them at least should have been offline when this started, might be able to fire one up and fly it over between one of the pulses if we can't use its transporter.
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Sir there's no chance of proper sensors before 3 hours, it'll take that long to get them online. They were totally fried. However, luck on Worker bees, we've got a few that were powered down.
CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
CEO: Agreed let’s go see how many working bees. No Pun intended we have.
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: we have 3 Sir.
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
::Takes the data sent from the tricorders and transfers it down the the science department, while he waits for a response from the captain.:: *OPS*: How is it coming with the shield?
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
CO: Recommend we wait until after the next pulse to power them up and get going but we should begin to make our way there as soon as possible so we're ready.
CO: Shall we go snag ourselves a getaway vehicle?
OPS LtJg ALenis (Arcadia) says:
*CTO*: Should be ready before the next pulse, I'm going to test it with my PADD
CTO Lt Cadarn (Arcadia) says:
::Glances down at his padd.:: *OPS*: Should be coming soon, let me know how it goes.

CO Capt Bodine (Yard) says:
CEO: Yep lead the way.
CEO Lt Takor (Yard) says:
::With a smile leads the way to the worker bee storage area.::
