Any Arcadian who still comes to this board will remember Commander Elora Cage, COS, Arcadia and her (real life) husband Ambassador Jordan Chaos. (aka Carri and Chris)
On Saturday, Chris succumbed to liver disease and passed away at the age of 38.
Like me, I'm sure you're saddened by this news.
Any member of our on line community who would like to leave a short message of condolence for Carri, please feel free to leave it here.
Although Arcadia's roster and posts have been removed from Soul's site, rest assured I keep everything that was Arcadia close to my heart.
Good bye, Chris. What a long strange trip it has been.

Subject: What a Long Strange Trip it's Gonna Be
Author: Ambassador Chaos
Scene: On a shuttle approaching Starbase Arcadia
Time: Initial Posting to Arcadia
As Ambassador Chaos sat staring at the out the window, he couldn't help wondering about his new assignment on Arcadia. He wondered what this new environment would be like. Of course he had done his research, and was well versed on the current Captain and her Officers, as well as the other Ambassador currently stationed on the starbase, Ambassador Hughes. He had met Hughes many times before, but had not had a chance to work with him. Hopefully Hughes wouldn't take his presence as an affront and make his life more difficult.
*Why do I always think the worst of people? Because you have to, that's why.*
Suddenly a voice came over the intercom, [Ambassador, we are approaching Arcadia. We should be docking within 10 minutes.]
Chaos smiled to himself. It had been a long, arduous trip, and he was anxious to begin his new assignment and establish his new business endeavor. This was a ripe environment for doing "business", and he knew he would walk away having finally made his fortune, and be positioned well within the ranks of The Federation.
The voice came over the intercom again, [Ambassador, there is an incoming secure transmission for you from Arcadia.]
"I'll take it, thank you."
After ensuring no one would be able to hear his conversation, Chaos opened the channel.
"Ambassador Chaos here."
[Boss, we've got a problem here on the base.]
Chaos was furious! Why was this idiot contacting him here?
"Why are you contacting me here? I've told you never to contact me, I would call you."
[I'm sorry boss, but the "delivery" we were to pick up was seized and taken to Sickbay, and I didn't want to do anything without talking to you about it first.]
"You did the right thing. Why was the package seized?"...........Chaos made a mental note to himself to have these idiots "removed" from his service.
[Apparently, it started leaking and made some people sick, so they came and took it.]
"Where, exactly, are you right now?"
[Just down the hall from Sickbay.]
"Wait right there, I will send someone else to help you retrieve the package. He will introduce himself as Mr. Joshua. He should be there within 15 minutes. Oh, and he is now in charge. Got it?"
[Yes sir (there was a slight hint of fear in his voice), we will wait right here for him. Out.]
*That man is truly a liability.*
After checking once again to make sure no one was within earshot, Chaos initiated a secure transmission to Mr. Joshua.
[Acer Michael Joshua here.]
"Do you know who this is?"
[Yes sir! What can I help you with?]
"I need you to meet two of my more incompetent associates near the Sickbay and help them retrieve a package that was seized by the good doctor. Be careful however, the package contains some rather volatile chemicals that are not conducive to human health."
[I understand sir. Where am I to take the package once I have it in hand?]
"Just store it somewhere safe. I will be in touch. Oh, another thing, once you have secured the package in a safe place, dispose of the two idiots that you are meeting. Understand?"
[Consider it done sir. I won't fail.]
"Not more than once anyway, Mr. Joshua. Chaos out."
What a wonderful way to start out. Hopefully this wouldn't raise too many eyebrows on the base. He would now have to delay the startup of his business in order to wait for the dust to clear on this screw up.
The intercom once again came to life, [Ambassador, we are initiating the docking sequence. Welcome to Arcadia.]
"Thank you Ensign."
*Well, here we go.*
