It has come to my attention that a member of your crew has meet these requirements and has become eligible for this award. [18:06] In the entire time he's been on Coronado, he has an unbroken string of appearances: he has simmed on the Coro 34 weeks in a row without missing a week in which Coro simmed. He is also an impeccable role- player, working well whether he is on the main storyline or on a sub-plot. [18:06] Such dedication and loyalty to a simulation should be commended. Loyalty to a simulation and crew shows that both the simulation and the individual recieving the award have the right idea about simulations; that sims are fun.

[18:17] Stardate 240102.19: "Heart of Darkness", Part 1, by Jester. [18:17] SUMMARY: War is never as interesting as how people react to it is. [18:17] While in the process of picking up Ka'tek vestai'Kharas, Coronado has been pulled into the area of the Federation/Klingon border. Until two days ago, we were in a nebula near the Donatu system. We're now presently near the Alphosa system, heading there at warp. Using slipstream at the present time would be inadvisable. [18:18] Ka'tek informed us that the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Republic, working together, have invaded Federation space. As a result, we are currently somewhere behind enemy lines; using slipstream would simply advertise our presence. Our course is currently "northerly," toward the Triangle, the combined Klingon/Romulan/Federation border. [18:18] En route, we have been using the superior range of our LORASON sensors and our CIC's capabilities to avoid Klingon patrols, and we have just finished using them to ambush a small Klingon supply convoy. However, these side battles are not as important as making our way across to the Federation side of the the front lines.

We should limit our time in the asteroid field to as short as possible. [19:16] =.\ction= Coronado turns very, very slowly, protecting its weak port nacelle. It takes almost a full minute to sweep around toward our hiding place. [19:16] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:16] Bring us in as close as you can to the largest astroid in the belt Commander Dejat. And then stay on your toes. [19:17] agreed, Colonel. [19:17] M> ::stews in his office:: i swear ... if it is the last thing I do, I'll make some people sit up and take notice.

[19:18] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:18] However, I am reading Federation warp signatures on the opposite side of the front lines. As to how many there are, or who they are... [19:18] ::nods:: Your recommendation on the fighters? Should we recall them, or have them make a break for it? [19:18] ::turns to Farley:: We are heading to an asteroid belt now...perhaps there you can have a team go outside the ship and repair the damage to the aft batteries and the port nacelle [19:18] ::notes the asteroid and nods to Savant:: That one ought to work. ::gently secures from warp and impulse and uses thrusters to maneuver near the asteroid:: [19:19] I'd suggest we recall them sir if the Colonel is ok with it. We may need them as diversions later. [19:19] ::nods:: I'll transfer a little more shield energy...engines are a priority at this point...but we may need weapons at any time [19:19] Latest readings from the fighters say that there's at least two Klingon battle groups en route to the rendezvous.

Recall them. [19:20] * LC_Savant murmurs, "a brooding monster of a star.... an ominous portent." [19:20] ::nods:: I noticed that.

Farley is heading it... [19:25] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:25] Lets just hope the Klingons don't have some kind of secret base in this system of asteroids.

[19:34] * LC_Savant frowns, brows knitting [19:34] no, sir, i rescind that. There's something very odd about that ship [19:34] local space is *not* distorted, as it would with a local space disturbance. [19:34] *> Sky there you are. What's up.

[19:35] i'm unsure sir.

[19:36] K> ::turns around to Oswald and smiles:: Morning, my dear. How is everything down there? I didn't damage it too badly, did I? [19:36] i'll log the incident and keep it in mind, sir. [19:36] +taps+ Major Wayne, report to Kelaka for a scouting mission. Or, if you require rest, have Petrovna report. [19:36] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:36] *> Sounds like fun.

Great simming, everyone! :) Any questions before we break? [19:39] nah [19:39] this looks like a good place to do an aftersim ^_^ [19:39] One question.. [19:39] None here [19:39] Yes, Commander?

I wouldn't know, Mr. Dejat. ;) [19:41] Don't make us break out the pain sticks. [19:41] *> <> [19:41] Now then, everyone hush up. I have a couple of announcements to make before we break. :) [19:42] First, I need to embarrass Mr. Dejat a bit more. As you may know, UCIP offers several advanced courses in the various sim positions. Mr. Dejat there recently took the Helm course. [19:42] * LC_Savant claps politely [19:42] Not to give McC an even BIGGER head than he already has, but... [19:42] Boy did he ever.... :) [19:42] ...not only did he pass the thing... [19:42] ...not only did he get 100% on the bloody thing... [19:42] ::chuckles and hides:: [19:43] ...but the Commandant of UCIP's Academy sought me out to specify that she wants to give McC a medal for how good his exam was? [19:43] wooo! [19:43] Does that suck or what? ;) [19:43] ::claps:: Awesome [19:43] LOL! [19:43] lol [19:43] Wow [19:43] ::claps:: [19:43] ::looks shocked, but manages to politely clap instead:: [19:43] ::claps:: [19:43] Here's the detail, for the record. ;) [19:43] After reviewing the Helm Exam submitted by Commander Fornan Dejat, I am [19:43] pleased to award him the Superior Performance Medal. A very fine example [19:43] of hard work and attention to detail. He sets an example for us all. [19:43] Congratulations, Commander [19:43] Nice Job Dejat! [19:43] * LC_Savant claps claps [19:43] ::bows:: [19:43] hehee - ::applauds:: [19:44] What does a guy have to do to get a copy of this famed exam? ::grins:: [19:44] ::grins:: If anyone else wants to be throughly embarrassed, please feel free to take other course exams. ;) [19:44] You want to see it, D? [19:44] * CRHL_Dejat has the TXT file. [19:44] Shhhh. :) One more thing. [19:44] * CRHL_Dejat sshhhss. [19:45] As many of you know, the Coronado website now has a very fine, very extensive Marine section, written solely by Colonel Ironside over there. [19:45] God knows why Fras put so much time into it -- probably to annoy me, because he didn't include graphics with it and I had to come up with some -- but he did, and it's a terrific addition to the Coro website. :) [19:45] * LC_Savant claps [19:45] it's great ^_^ [19:45] And for that, I'd like to recognize him for his outstanding OOC contribution to the Coronado with the Nova Cross for Merit. :) [19:46] ::applauds:: Yay for Fras!
