[19:05] Stardate 240304.14: "Crowded House", Part 2, story by Jester. [19:05] * CRS2_Ma`Aru is now known as [CRIO_Ma`Aru] [19:05] SUMMARY: "Damn thing's bouncing around like a cricket lately." [19:05] Coronado was en route to rendesvous with M.R.F. Onyx in the J043 system. However, we never made it. While en route, we encountered a large, violent spatial distortion of some kind. We became trapped within it, but managed to escape after a bit of an adventure. [19:05] When we exited the distortion, we found that Xanadu had somehow reached our location and was stabilizing the distortion. Vanguard and Panache were nearby, attempting to collapse it. In the end, Panache's Captain apparently decided on a very unorthodox method to do this. [19:05] As those outside Xanadu watched, the Panache dove into the distortion, becoming embedded on its event horizon. At that moment, the ship exploded, apparently intentionally. The distortion collapsed, and Xanadu is responding by initiating another "Beckmann translation." [19:05] * [CRIO_Ma`Aru] is now known as [CRS2_Ma`Aru] [19:05] Briefing complete.

Like I said, I know this is a little confusing, but it'll make sense soon. [21:01] how long did it take all the ships that eventually passed from the alpha quadrant to M64 to pass? [21:01] I think he means Northwest Territory. He seems to fail to grasp the instant nature of the hypergate transport. [21:01] I eman how long was it in Alpha quadrant time? [21:01] LCARS, we're done...lets watch some HOCKEEEEY! [21:01] If you mean Northwest Territory, there was only one ship, and it passed through instantly. The gate is a one-way door, linking the Hayashi system in Federation space to the Gateway system "south" of Reor.

[21:02] I wonder if there could be a second ship. [21:02] And then you can just read it in the reports later when it all makes sense ;) [21:02] Sure you do. You get to explain why the translations freak some people out so much. ;) [21:03] LOL, it works like that kinda on the bridge too. "Well, we'll just sit here and do nothing while the folks in the CIC field the show" hehe [21:03] * LCdr_Dyson is now known as Lauren [21:03] And if someone had thought to put someone at the third chamber door waiting for Arrow to get there, I would have let them sneak through. ;) [21:03] the illusion is that someone knows what's going on. In reality, we all just talklike we do. [21:03] ::chuckles at Ross:: Man, I'm starting to appreciate you brass folks a little more. ;) [21:03] It's not like you didn't read the teaser and didn't know where that ship was going. ;) [21:03] * cnYN_Forester is now known as Fox [21:03] Ross: Like I'm supposed to figure out your headaches without any background information or any clue from you, right? ;) [21:03] ::looks at Dennis:: [21:03] * MJBC_Prescot is now known as Shadow|AFK [21:04] Good night guys, I'm going to go :) see you next week [21:04] night Phish! [21:04] That's the nature of the beast, Ryan [21:04] ;) [21:04] Uh ... I did, Ross? ;) [21:04] Nite Phishie [21:04] No freebies, McC. ;) Try stuff, ask questions in /msg. ;) [21:04] But I ain't just gonna tell you what's going on. ;) [21:04] * Phishie (tenabran@12a06a62.296d6466.cable.mindspring.com) has left #uss-coronado [21:05] You ought to at least tell me what my tricorder and scanners are showing ;) [21:05] I have been. :) You just haven't liked what they've been showing. [21:05] Nite everyone [21:05] night Masters ^_^ [21:05] Teaser? Read? Moi? [21:05] ::feigns blindness:: [21:05] * Masters (wisher1126@3d6b14e3.306c6d51.ipt.aol.com) has left #uss- coronado [21:06] In any case, I wasn't paying any attention to the outside world (appropriately so, since I wouldn't know about it anyway), so I didn't even know Xanadu had translated. All I knew is suddenly a bunch of people were coming into sickbay. [21:06] * Thompson (~thompson@15ce2659.4b89d8f.urh.uiuc.edu) has joined #uss- coronado [21:06] Welcome aboard U.S.S. Coronado, Thompson! Your visitor's authorization codes have been enabled. [21:06] Thompson = Crewman Edward Miller, Former Watch Tactical Officer. [21:06] uhh, you would have keeled over when it translated [21:06] Heh, better do a better McCoy impersonation, then. ;) [21:06] * Kahlia (~kahlia@31a16b5d.1377149a.clear.net.nz) Quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds) [21:06] Um...you would've felt something. ;-) [21:06] hello Thompson [21:06] Hehe [21:06] ::nods:: you definitely would have felt the translation. Everyone did. Some people just felt it more than others. [21:06] Apparently, Reed likes having his skin stretched drumskin thin. ;) [21:06] I must've missed that action...::scrolls up:: [21:07] * Savant felt it more than a lot ^_- [21:07] BTW, why do we call it "translated"? [21:07] geometry term [21:07] when you move one thing from a place to another, it's a translation. [21:07] Ryan, the ship went to Yellow Alert and Captain Daren told the whole ship to prepare for the translation, he also said something about it probably not being the most enjoyable of experiences and all that... [21:07] translation: all points of a figure are moved an equal distance in one direction. [21:07] Oh, shit, no wonder I missed it... [21:07] ::re-enables sound requests: [21:07] I totally missed the taps/allcalls ;) [21:07] ::nods:: The science types might start grilling Alicia on why she calls it a translation. [21:08] And not a drive, or an engine, or something. [21:08] Why not just "move"? [21:08] er, moved [21:08] So? Beckmann Movement [21:08] Sounds just as nifty [21:08] The thing is moving itself, no? [21:08] So just call it a movement. [21:08] No need for fancy terms. [21:08] Apparently, the designer had a good reason for using a fancy term. :P ;) [21:08] I like it. [21:08] Gives it a very technical, mathematical sound. [21:08] * Fox shrugs. [21:09] me too - sounds trekkish [21:09] ;) [21:09] plus, who wants to be on a ship when it makes a BM? [21:09] roflmao [21:09] * Savant snickers [21:09] ROFL! [21:09] Santi, you're the best.
