[18:06] ack 12The newly confirmed CO of the USS Coronado was forced to cancel the crew's shore leave, in order to participate in a series of War Games at the Jupiter Astroid Belt. The games began the moment the ship arrived in the opponents sensor range. [18:06] {{nah.... I'm just too smart for all of them, make 'em look bad if I was any higher on the food chain}} 12The first excercise of the games commenced and the crew engaged the first ship. In a daring move they captured the ship, the USS Bonaparte, and used it as a decoy and escort vessel. The newly arrived XO, Commander Lisbon, along with a platoon of marines and the Coronado's Chief Engineer stayed aboard the Bonaparte, guiding it against its former allies. 12While this had been going on the Professor was tweaking the Coronado's sensors and weapons in the hopes to get an edge against the attacking vessels. After succesfully defeating the next three vessels, the Coronado came up against the USS Hood. Hoping that the Professor's modifications would be enough to defeat the larger ship, the Coronado commenced an attack run. An unexpected power drain caused by the Professor's modifications, halted the attack and caused the "destruction" of the ship. 12They lost phase one of the games and are now suited up in environmental suits waiting to commence phase two. Upon beaming down to the harsh environment of Jupiter's moon of Io, the hand to hand portion of the games will begin. The entire ship's compliment of Marines and all of the senior staff are in the various transporter rooms awaiting Major Ironside's order to commence beamout.
