[19:07] <CoroLCARS> =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it...
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> Stardate 240206.17: "Will of the One", Part 2, by Aggie, 
teleplay by Jester.
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> SUMMARY: Delicate negotitations.  Which is, of course, why 
Coro gets to handle them.
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> It has now been 26 days since the Pfhor battleship left the 
Reor system, after giving the allies a 30 day deadline to join the Hegemony or 
be crushed by it.  Demonstrations have begun on Reorsa and Meyer III, as those 
who favor a treaty at any cost make their voices heard.
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> Meanwhile, the commanding officers of the Starfleet ships 
have been sequestered in the Reorsan Ministry of Defense.  Wild rumors are 
flying around the planet, with possibilities ranging from complete surrender of 
the planet to some kind of alien super-weapon under construction.
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> In the meantime, Coro has another problem to deal with: 
possible civil war among the Apori.  Apori ships have begun attacking other 
allied ships, including a Camelynian destroyer.  We received a distress call 
from U.S.S. Swiftsure in the Pitstop system and have raced there to assist...
[19:07] <Alados> ack
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> Briefing complete.
[19:07] <LTtc_Marcy> ack
[19:07] <LMCC_Prescot> ACK

officers.  First, Lieutenant (JG) Vogel, returning after a very short two-week 
LOA.  :)  Welcome back.
[19:09] <CMGC_LoraKor> Second, 2nd Lieutenant Stylus, how has yet to attend his 
first Coronado sim of 2002.  Very long LOA, and it's about time he came back.  
;)  Welcome back to you as well.

I simply wish to know where I am when this one starts.
[19:11] <CMGC_LoraKor> When the sim last week ended, Coro had just reached the 
Pitstop system and had gone to red alert.  So, you'd either be on the Bridge, or 
on your way to the Bridge, or otherwise at your battle station.
[19:12] <CMGC_LoraKor> Any other questions?

[19:32] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:32] <Savant> CIC> The Apori religion, as we've found so far, believes that 
every sentient, and perhaps every living, thing is a member of what they 
consider to be "the one"... we're all small fragments of a cosmic-scale God. 
Their beliefs tend towards peaceful coexistance... quite enlightened

team meet you in Transporter room One as well as several of our medical staff,
[19:33] <LCen_Farley> E> Thanks.
[19:33] <Savant> CIC> I believe that religion is the crux of this incidence, 
however, Sir. They called us "infidels"... in other words, defilers of holiness, 
to be colloquial. That term seems to go against basic Apori tenants. We could be 
witnessing the beginnings of a civil war.. or perhaps one that has been going on 
for some time

Camelynians yet, captain.

a perversion.

[19:34] <Alados> ::considers the Apori destroyers hanging around Coro and preps 
a number of evasive maneuvers, ready to go in case things get nasty::
[19:34] <Savant> CIC> An infidel is an unbeliever, whereas a perversion is one 
who not only doesn't believe but hasn't the capacity to. At least, taht's my 
perception of it.
[19:34] <LCTC_Drexler> ... ::adds::  And they've had ample time.

be trained... but the Pfhor can't?

[19:35] <Savant> CIC> ::The little hologram in the tank smiled slightly:: I

Get a grip, Craig.  What the hell are you becoming?

burned to ash.  This is the will of the One.
[20:01] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:01] <CPCO_Daren> Very well, let's make preparations to leave.  Lock a 
tractor beam on the Swiftsure.  Instruct the Apori that it will be in their best 
interest and the best interest of our alliance with the Apori to withdraw from 
this holy ground within the next 3 minutes
[20:02] <[LCen_Farley]> E> ::moves everyone onto the warp core fix::
[20:02] <COMC_Ironside> <m> I don't believe these Apori are interested in the 
alliance.

tricorder and a neural scan indicates you have a certain disease known as the 
Vimmage. Are you familiar with it?

out centuries ago on my planet. You must quarantine me immediately. The other

transmissions back and forth between themselves and the first group..
[20:04] <CPCO_Daren> ::looks to Drexler then to Ironside:: Belay my last.
[20:05] <CPCO_Daren> Drexler, open a channel to the newest Apori ships!  Are 
these the Apori we have dealt with before?
[20:05] <COMC_Ironside> ::looks to Daren:: Captain, with the state of 
Swiftsure's hull, it is unlikely she will be able to survive a towed warp or 
Slipstream transit.  If she moves to leave the system at impulse, the Apori may 
not pursue.
[20:05] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently:  Red Alert .
[20:05] <LCTC_Drexler> Unknown.  Channel open.

without.

[20:06] <Savant> ::On the bridge, Savant's voice was heard sagely:: Ah ha... so 
I suspected.
[20:06] <LCTC_Drexler> I agree, captain, let's exeunt.
[20:06] <COMC_Ironside> ::taps quickly on his console, shifting the 
countermeasures focus on helping the newly arrived Apori vessels::
[20:06] <CPCO_Daren> ::watches as the comm channel is dropped:: Let's move to 
the outskirts of the system away from the battle...
[20:07] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The six Apori ships on each side are soon five, 
then four, then three on one side, four on the other. Camelynian fighters here 
and there take a few potshots at ships "with" markings, and are destroyed for 
their trouble.
[20:07] <LJDR_Vogel> M> Well, the virus could have remained dormant in the Braid 
homeworld. It would explain the noticable lowered immunity to it than you might 
see for a conventional virus.
[20:07] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> ::grits his teeth:: Ironside - he's never gonna let me 
off of this ship again except if I get transferred to a stockade on Reor or 
something.

[20:07] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:08] <LJDR_Vogel> M> After all, there are still virus samples on Earth of 
viruses we defeated long ago. Smallpox, Influenza, the Common Cold. ::chuckles 
and coughs::;:
[20:08] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> +taps+ Bridge, I need someone at Mission Ops to 
coordinate this communication to Pitstop 3.
[20:08] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:08] <LTSS_Thoughts> M> I suppose that is possible but unlikely knowing the 
virus. It might have mutated though. ::stops knowing what the only know cure 
is:: What can you do about it?
[20:08] <LJDR_Vogel> M> There is a thought though.
[20:08] <CPCO_Daren> ::looks to Ironside:: Can yo handle that Colonel?
[20:08] <COMC_Ironside> +taps+ Standing by, Commodore.
[20:08] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:08] <LJDR_Vogel> M> The virus could be artifically changed to a more 
virulent form.
[20:08] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Swiftsure swings around as best she can and starts 
for the edge of the system.
[20:08] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:08] <Savant> Q> ::Her voice was soothing and calm:: Craig, when it ocmes 
down to the line, and you're truly needed, nothing will get in the way of that, 
not even him. We're going to be going onto a war where everyone will be needed,

[20:08] <[LCen_Farley]> E> ::the warp core is fixed temp. but can't use warp:: 
+comm+ Coronado, warp is still out but the core is up and runnign for now. Were

Stay in defensive formation
[20:09] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:09] <CPCO_Daren> Helm, stay right with Swiftsure on our way out.
[20:09] <LJDR_Vogel> Well, the database said that the treatment was to remove 
the Braids.  ::frowns::

[20:09] <LJDR_Vogel> M> <<sorry>>
[20:09] <LJDR_Vogel> M> Excuse me, cords.
[20:10] <LTSS_Thoughts> M> It is the way of my people. How many coords will you 
have to remove?

to hold the transmission stable::  +taps+ Colonel, relay whatever comes back to 
me.  I think we've got a secure line to Pitstop 3, but a course that took us as 
close as possible to the system couldn't hurt.  The transmission strength isn't 
the greatest.
[20:10] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:11] <[LMCC_Prescot]> ::feels the ships shudder as she starts to move::  that 
better not be bad..

the system::

[20:11] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:11] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= One of the escort destroyers takes a potshot at 
Coro en passant, sort of like a boot to the butt to get the frigate moving. It 
then swings around and continues its attack on an unmarked Apori ship.
[20:11] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:11] <LJDR_Vogel> M> I will need to surgically remove the injurde one and the 
one next to it. ::points:: It will stop the spread of the infection
[20:12] <Savant> CIC> Commodore, given current talks between the two Apori 
factions.. i'm led to believe that my hypothesis was right. It's a religious war 
between the two
[20:12] <COMC_Ironside> +taps+ Aye sir, standing by.  ::takes the liberty of 
altering the ship's course slightly seeing as there's no-one at helm to assist 
the Captain, and brings up the secure line on his console::

field. ::yells to one of his team::
[20:12] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> +taps+ TCat Leader to Coro, should we engage escort 
destroyers?
[20:12] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:13] <CPCO_Daren> ::nods:: I'd just assume not answer that. I have a feeling 
they want us to be drawn into the fight. And I don't play that!  ::grins::
[20:13] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::nods at Savant without looking over::  +com+ 
Pitstop 3, this is U.S.S. Coronado... please respond.
[20:13] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:13] <COMC_Ironside> +taps+ Negative, Spectres, remain in formation.  The 
Apori appear to be letting us go.
[20:13] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:13] <LCTC_Drexler> ::looks at Daren, wondering where his tactical sense has 
gone::   I don't think they want to hurt us, captain.
[20:13] <COMC_Ironside> ::works quickly as the first transmission to Pitstop 
exits, tapping on the console delicately and holding the transmission within the 
proper modulation parameters::
[20:14] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> ::snorts:: Not a fool?  I used to believe that.  
Now... I'm not so sure.
[20:14] <LJDR_Vogel> M> ::looks at Thoughts:: But I know this wil have serious 
repercussions. So there is another option.l
[20:14] <LTSS_Thoughts> M> ::thinks on that knowing what it means:: Yes. One 
means I lose a part of myself. Two means I lose all of what is Caring-Thoughts. 
What is left of me will rejoin with two new coords creating a new braid. The new 
braid will have all the talents and memories of myself but will have a different 
personality. When you are done you must incinerate the two coords.
[20:14] <CPCO_Daren> ::turns to Hammond:: On our way out, conduct several scans 
of the Apori vessels with markings...I'd like to know of any differences from 
them and the Apori ships without the markings.  Perhaps this is some kind of 
Apori fanatical cult.
[20:15] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently:  Red Alert .
[20:15] <Savant> Q> ::She smiled and placed a hand on his.. .it wasn't quite 
there, giving him a feeling of pins and needles, as was often the case:: Craig, 
you're sulking. You've got two choices right now, and i don't think you're 
taking the right one.
[20:15] <CPCO_Daren> ::looks at Drexeler:: Mention that to the four dead 
officers over on Swiftsure Commander.
[20:15] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Swiftsure's power signature becomes healthier, and 
the ship accelerates.
[20:15] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:15] <LJDR_Vogel> M> ::turns to Thoughts in shock: Incinerate? I can't 
destroy life. ::louder:: I'm a doctor.
[20:15] <LCTC_Drexler> Captain, I recommend we accelerate out of the system.  
We're being pursued by a hostile Apori ship.

aboard Coronado... please resond.
[20:15] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

different form.
[20:16] <LCTC_Drexler> Mention to whom, captain?
[20:16] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> +taps+ Colonel, are our transmissions getting 
through?
[20:16] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:16] <[LCen_Farley]> E> ::it seems to he working so far, keeps fingers 
crossed::
[20:16] <LTSS_Thoughts> M> You have no choice doctor. The threat to the 
remaining braids is too great if you don't. As I said it is the way of my 
people. I will not truly "die" as you see it. Apart of me will live on.
[20:16] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= One of the marked Apori escort destroyers, an 
"unmarked" one in pursuit, swings in behind Coronado and opens fire. Its weapons 
are decidedly not at 25%.

[20:17] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> Savant, I've tried everything I know to do.  But he 
stands in my way at every turn.

it starts complaining.

[20:17] <COMC_Ironside> ::works with the transmission again, altering slightly 
some of the modulations in an attempt to keep the message as visible to the 
Apori as possible:: +taps+ I cannot be certain, Captain.  I'm not getting a 
signal reflection back, however it is possible the message is being jammed at 
the destination.

+Com+ Swiftsure, be ready to defend yourself with your new found strength!
[20:17] <LCTC_Drexler> ::gets jolted back in his seat::  Captain...  
[20:17] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:17] <LJDR_Vogel> M> Perhaps I can isolate the virus. Find a cure. Surely 
there is a better option!
[20:17] <[LCen_Farley]> E> +comm+ ACK 
[20:17] <LCTC_Drexler> No, sir, I haven't.  We haven't left the system yet, so 
we still pose a threat.
[20:17] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:18] <Savant> Q> ::Savant noticed the apori firing at Coronado, but it was 
oddly distant, even more so than usual. The disruption was minimal, and her view 
of the incident was from so many sensing systems at once... it was something of 
an emotional triangulation:: Why are you so fixated on him Craig? He's your 
commanding officer, not your father.
[20:18] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> +taps+ Damn it.  Understood.  See if you can 
increase the signal strength.  We need to find out what's going on here.

[20:18] <COMC_Ironside> CIC> +taps+ I'll try, Commodore, but under the current 
conditions, I'm not sure where I'm going to locate the extra power.  Standby.

[20:19] <LJDR_Vogel> M> How can you say with any certainty that the Braid 
Medical systems are superior to Federation Technology?
[20:19] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The Apori ship fires again, just missing this 
time. It also avoids a blast from the unmarked ship behind it.
[20:19] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

[20:19] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> My father... I miss my father, Savant.  And for a 
while there, the old man was very much like him.  But now... now he's turning 
into something my father never was: unsupportative, harsh, cruel.
[20:20] <[LMCC_Prescot]> +Taps+  Prescot here...  go ahead Cmdr
[20:20] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:20] <LCTC_Drexler> Sir, we don't need to attack them, we just need to move, 
sir.  They are in turn being attacked by another Apori ship.

[20:23] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> I'm trying to do my duty.  But maybe there's more to 
life than duty.  Or maybe duty in this case means more than my committment to 
Starfleet.
[20:24] <[LCen_Farley]> E> +taps+ I'll rerout weapons control to the bridge. 
You'll have a better chance of hitting something up there then me down here.
[20:24] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:24] <CPCO_Daren> Seems we've convinced them to hunt elsewhere.
[20:24] <LJDR_Vogel> M> I'll vaporize them. ::sets a phaser to level 12 and puts 
it on the table, as Thoughts is placed on the OR table::P

move, dodging its adversary. Instead of firing on them, he fires on Coro.
[20:24] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:24] <Savant> Q> Duty is something you have to define yourself, Craig. But if 
your duty means helping, then you help regardless. Stop stirring about in things 
you can't change and do what you can. Prepare for the war we're going to face 
right now, and don't be so hard on yourself ^_^
[20:24] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> +com+ TCat Leader to wing, we're going to screen that 
marked Apori. Lets box it in people!
[20:24] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:25] <[LMCC_Prescot]> JT> ::raises a brow::  +Taps+ sir?  is not this heap in

[20:25] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> +taps+ Colonel, pull in as much of that message as 
you can.  It might be the only useful information we get out of this.
[20:25] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:25] <LTSS_Thoughts> M> Thank you Doctor. I will see you when I reform. I'll 
still be in the new braid somewhere. I will still know you. ::goes quiet::
[20:25] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> ::manuevers his fighter out of formation, breaking 
the defensive style flying and being a general pain for that Apori ship::
[20:25] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> +taps+ I hate to say it, but the battle is 
incidental.  We need that information.
[20:25] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:25] <[LCen_Farley]> E> +taps+ No as bad condition as we thought just enough 
damage to put her out of action temp.
[20:25] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:25] <CPCO_Daren> We've waited long enough, ::nods at Drexler:: Give them the 
answer they so obviously want!
[20:26] <COMC_Ironside> +taps+ In the process of doing so, sir.  ::works 
quickly, attempting to eyeball the beginning and end of transmission segments as 
they all seem to come in at the same time and in random order::
[20:26] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:26] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> ::stands and moves about the quarters:: Perhaps 
Starfleet - the regulations, the orders, the restrictions - perhaps it's time to 
leave that behind.  Time to earn that flight nickname I had before - "Rogue".
[20:26] <LCTC_Drexler> ::brings his hand down on the console and taps in the 
firing command sequence::  Torpedo away.
[20:26] <Savant> Q> ::she looked at him deadpan, staying sitting:: You know that 
isn't what I meant, Craig.
[20:26] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The Thundercats tighten in on the marked Apori 
ship, limiting its ability to dodge...
[20:26] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

entering into the Swiftsure's bridge::
[20:26] <LCTC_Drexler> <<::fires false matter torpedo::>>
[20:26] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Coronado fires a single false matter torpedo, 
which lances across space to hit the target.
[20:26] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:26] <Savant> Q> acting without co-ordinating with your friends and allies is 
only going to get you killed incidentally.
[20:27] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= It doesn't take long for the FM torpedo to find 
something vital. The escort destroyer detonates in a blinding flash...
[20:27] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:27] <LJDR_Vogel> ::takes an alpha wave inducer, with anethesize in a 
hypospray, and attach them, preparing Thoughts for the procedure::

Swiftsure...
[20:27] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> ::smirks:: Who says I have to abandon my friends and 
allies?  But if I'm not restricted by Starfleet rules and regulations, there's 
more good that I could be doing.
[20:28] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> shiznit! +com+ Evasive manuevers, watch for debris! 
::banks hard left::
[20:28] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:28] <COMC_Ironside> ::as the Apori vessel detonates, immediately draws 
energy from the power-hungry weapons systems and feeds it into the comm 
receivers, clearing up bits and pieces of the income transmission::
[20:28] <Savant> ::Savant watched the Apori craft explode brilliantly, and was 
thrilled. So many viewpoints all at the same time, such a wide range and 
limitless scope! She was momentarily distracted, her hologram flickering::
[20:28] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The unmarked Apori ship swings around to rejoin 
the battle on the edge of the Pitstop system. Stylus and two other fighters 
deftly avoid getting creamed, but TC3 gets bounced by a fragment of Apori engine 
and is sent tumbling, arcing and trailing engine plasma.

to Farely...  the ship was destroyed by the Coronado
[20:29] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:29] <Savant> Q> ::she came around shorly though:: Craig, if you leave the 
service that's your choice, but there will be no vigilanteeism. I can't allow 
that, neither can any of us. You know that.
[20:29] <COMC_Ironside> ::uses the increased power to also begin sorting out the 
various pieces of data into recognizable transmission segments...deftly throwing 
a tractor beam lock onto Tigercat 3 in the meantime::
[20:29] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::taps at the console in front of him, patching 
together the pieces of the message that Ma'Aru doesn't get::  +taps+ Colonel, I 
think we've got something worthwhile.  Four repetitions of the same cycle.
[20:29] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:30] <[LCen_Farley]> E> +taps+ We should be ready anyways. I'm sending 
weapons control to you and I'll fly the ship from here. Just let me know what 
you need.
[20:30] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> +com+ TCat leader to TC3, regain control and return 
to base. Get that plasma leak fixed.
[20:30] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:30] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:30] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> ::stares out at the battle raging around them:: They 
need someone out there who will do what they can't.  The Pfhor are too powerful 
for us to fight under standard tactics and regulations.
[20:30] <LtSI_KathHammond> FS::works with the team on the ships::
[20:30] <LJDR_Vogel> M> ::puts on his surgical wear, with the staff:: Alright. 
Laser scalpel
[20:30] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently:  Red Alert .
[20:30] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> +taps+ Each cycle is full of holes, but between the 
four, we might be able to put something useful together.  Inform Captain Daren 
that I'm going to need a couple of avid cryptologists.
[20:30] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:30] <LJDR_Vogel> M> ::presses the scalpel to the skin, activating it as he 
makes careful but deliberate incisions on the infected braid::
[20:30] <COMC_Ironside> +taps+ I see it.  Beginning defragmentation of the 
received signal parts.
[20:30] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> Damn...still have two others though. Damned place has 
gotten hot, and we can't even return fire.
[20:30] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:30] <CPCO_Daren> ::finally for the first time takes a seat in the Captain's 
chair, things finally beginning to calm down a bit, in relation::
[20:30] <Savant> Q> ::Savant stood, the hologram frowning.:: Craig, I'm going to 
tell you this as a friend. Stop trying to play the hero.
[20:31] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Thundercat 3 ejects its fuel pods to avoid an 
explosion, but the fighter seems intact. It continues to tumble.
[20:31] <Savant> Q> Heroes accomplish an objective and die horribly. Soldiers 
accomplish their objectives and have a good chance of seeing their friends 
again.
[20:31] <COMC_Ironside> +com+ Tigercat 1, from Coronado.  Intercept and tractor 
Tigercat 3 before it drifts too far for retrieval.
[20:31] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:32] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> :: the blood is still everywhere, but slowly, things

of...::smirks::...avid cryptologists to assist in the decoding of our received 
Apori signal from Pitstop.
[20:32] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Meanwhile, Pitstop is becoming, if anything, more 
chaotic. At least a dozen more ships on each side are now involved in the 
battle.
[20:32] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> Shiznit...TC3 isn't recovering. +taps+ TCat leader to 
Coro, affirmative, I'm going in to help.

[20:32] <[LCen_Farley]> E> ::moves the team around to fixing a few other items::
[20:32] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> ::spins towards Savant:: What makes you think that 
this has anything to do with me?  I'm not selfish.  I want this war over just 
like everyone else.  And I want to do my job.  But if I'm not allowed to do that 
job within the realms of Starfleet regulations, then maybe it's time to 
reexamine my committment to the service.  This is not about being a hero.  
Dammit, Savant.  This is about something greater than me.  Or you.
[20:32] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> ::Sighs:: alright, back to being a buerocrat...
[20:33] <L2WL_Stylus> TC1> ::races towards TC3, locking on with the tractor beam 
and engaging, trying to stable its flight pattern::

[20:35] <CPCO_Daren> +Com+ Have you stabilized the wounded?
[20:35] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:35] <LMWL_Serrold> Q> Savant, this is about the survival of every human, 
Reorsan,  Taeran, and a thousand other other species.  If I can do my part, I 
will.  I have to.  It's who I am.  If I die, then so be it.  But I have to do 
something.  And you know that if we don't change how this war is fought soon, 
then we'll die and so will trillions of others.
[20:35] <COMC_Ironside> +taps+ Lieutenant Hammond, from Bridge.  The Commodore 
is in need of your assistance or the assistance of your staff.  Any officers of 
yours with expertise in cryptology are required in the CIC.
[20:35] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:35] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> The symbiont is still alive.

[20:35] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:36] <Savant> Q> Delightfully heroic speech, Craig. but you're wrong. It 
isn't bigger than you or me. It's about exactly that. It's survival we're 
talking about here. And you aren't going to survive if you go running off, nor 
will you make a difference. I've seen far too many good people die claiming 
higher purposes, and too many more come home victorious only looking forward to 
the next day.

[20:45] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> M> Doctor, I have a patient here. We need to stabalize 
it and find a host as soon as- ::looks around:: whta's going on here?

Sir. Passions breed great arts, and war is an art, unpleasant as it may seem.
[20:46] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> +Taps+ Tlaloco to the captain. I have a situation down 
in medbay that may require your attention.
[20:46] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:46] <CMGC_LoraKor> CIC> Hmph.  True enough.
[20:46] <CPCO_Daren> +taps+ I'll be right down, Commander!

Two days before the deadline.

[20:49] <CMGC_LoraKor> Any other questions?
[20:49] <CMGC_LoraKor> OK.  :)  Commander Tlaloco, please step forward!
[20:50] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> ::steps forward, wondering waht's going on...::
[20:50] <CMGC_LoraKor> Commander, a recent Coronado flight recorder visual shows 
you doing a very foolish thing.
[20:50] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= A holographic image of Tlaloco in a spacesuit 
being flung away from Coro's hull like a cowboy off a charging bull appears.
[20:50] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:51] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> ::blushes:: oh that...
[20:51] <Savant> ::puts up her hand:: i'm the one that recorded that for 
posterity... sorry, Sir. . .
[20:51] <CMGC_LoraKor> ::frowns::  Can you explain how it came to pass that you 
were clinging to the outside of U.S.S. Coronado during a major combat 
engagement?
[20:51] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> wait till I reprogram you, sav.
[20:51] <Savant> you have to catch me first.
[20:51] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> well, see it was the sensor array, sir.
[20:52] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> actually the nacelle. It was about to fall off.
[20:52] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The hologram continues, showing a tumbling Tlaloco 
nearly being rammed by a Pfhor strike craft.
[20:52] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:52] <[LCen_Farley]> ::throws himself to the floor:: It was me please don't 
punish me to badly!
[20:52] <CPCO_Daren> yow! Thats gotta hurt!
[20:52] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> and I was feeling so cramped.
[20:52] <CMGC_LoraKor> I see.  Which was it?  The sensor array?  Or the nacelle?
[20:52] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> well, actually it was the nacelle.
[20:52] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> It was about to break off. Port nacelle. Yeah. That was 
it.
[20:53] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> couldn't reach the damage throught the bulkheading.
[20:53] <CMGC_LoraKor> Hm.  I see.  In reality was it not the LORASON sensors 
that the Marines in action on Churchill Downs were relying on for accurate 
reconnaissance of enemy positions on the planet?
[20:54] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> well, I suffered a pretty nasty bump on the head-
[20:54] <CMGC_LoraKor> You do seem to be quite close to the locks that maintain 
the LORASON array about the deflector dish right before your unscheduled 
departure from the ship's hull?
[20:54] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> well, if the nacelle had pulled off, it would have 
yanked the array with it, in part...
[20:54] <CMGC_LoraKor> ::nods::  Colonel Ironside tells me that without the 
sensor readings that Coronado was transmitting to his men, many more Marines 
would have been killed in the surface action.
[20:55] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> so it must have been the sensor array.
[20:55] <CMGC_LoraKor> ::smirks::
[20:55] <[CROP_Tlaloco]> now I remember.
[20:56] <CMGC_LoraKor> Commander Tlaloco, since I cannot recognize you with a 
third Purple Heart for your... bump on the head... I have little choice but to 
recognize you with the Bronze Star for Valor for your unflinching courage in 
repairs to Coronado while she -- and you -- were decidedly under fire.
[20:56] <CMGC_LoraKor> Congratulations, Commander!

[20:56] <COMC_Ironside> ::applauds::

[20:57] <CMGC_LoraKor> ::chuckles::  Well, at least you didn't fall off until 
after you completed your repairs.
