[18:18] As a result, I'm going to be looking for an XO. :/ Anyone who is interested should let me know. [18:19] With that said, here's tonight's briefing: [18:19] 12=Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it... [18:19] 12Stardate 239910.25: "Dead Reckoning" , Part 1, by Jester. [18:19] 12SUMMARY: Two impossible things happen before breakfast. [18:19] 12Following our mission into Klingon space to deliver Ka'tek vestai-Kharas to the Klingon homeworld, Qo'noS, in time for his installation ceremony as the newest member of the Klingon High Council, we have returned to Federation space on the orders of one Vice Admiral Brian Aldur. Coronado has been selected to participate in a unique series of propulsion tests. [18:19] 12U.S.S. Swiftsure, a Norway class transport, will be delivering one Lt. Commander Reckoning, from Antares Fleetyards. Commander Reckoning is one of the theoretical designers of the quantum slipstream propulsion system that is Coro's main means of hyperlight travel. Commander Reckoning theorizes that it may be possible to make the slipstream drive system even more efficient. [18:19] <^2LTCC_Halkins> ::decides not to raise his hand to volinteer for the XO post:: [18:19] 12The Commander theorizes that the quantum phase inversion realm -- the area that Coro enters when running under slipstream -- may contain "currents" that would carry a ship riding that current at even greater velocities. While the math and science to the Commander's theories are quite complex, the test is simple: we will be entering slipstream, then attempting to scan for one or more of the Commander's currents. [18:19] ack [18:19] ack [18:20] ack [18:20] ack [18:20] <^2LtSLMcClelllan> ack [18:20] <^2LTCC_Halkins> ack [18:20] Any questions before we begin? [18:21] Nope. [18:21] A quick one. [18:21] Yes, Lieutenant? [18:21] Is the "quantum phase inversion" really a realm? [18:21] I figured it for more of a realspace-altering field. [18:21] For the purposes of this sim, I'm assuming it's a higher dimensional state similar to subspace. [18:21] ::shrugs:: Okay, works for me. [18:21] ack [18:22] Any other questions? [18:22] What's the ETA of the Swiftsure? [18:22] About 2 seconds after SIM START. ;) [18:22] yeah, why were you late? [18:22] Sounds good, I'll shut up now ;) [18:22] ::points upward:: Sorry, Doctor.
