[19:05] <RAGC_LoraKor> Welcome, everyone!  :)  As those who have been aboard 
Coro for a while know, every year at this time (or sometimes in November), I 
like to run a weird little experimental sim.
[19:05] <RAGC_LoraKor> This one, I think you'll agree, is more experimental than 
most.  ;)
[19:06] <RAGC_LoraKor> Tonight and for the next two weeks, we're going to run a 
sort of "tactical" Coro sim.  I've sent all of you the rules and the 
particulars.  Many of you have already chosen your teams.
[19:06] <RAGC_LoraKor> Tonight will begin aboard Coro with you and your chosen 
teams either preparing your craft for launch, or pulling together final members.  
Those not yet on teams, feel free to form some.  :)
[19:06] <RAGC_LoraKor> Those already part of teams:
[19:07] <RAGC_LoraKor> Team 1: Lieutenants D'rall and ch'Thane, in a Hornet.  
Please change your nicks to [1-nick].
[19:07] <RAGC_LoraKor> Team 2: Savant, by herself, in a Spectre.  Please change 
your nick to [2-nick].
[19:07] * LTHL_D`rall is now known as [1-LTHL_D`rall]
[19:07] * LTtc_Shar is now known as [1-LTtc_Shar]
[19:07] <RAGC_LoraKor> Team 3: Tal, Farley, Ma'Aru, Masters, in a Wraith.  
Please change your nicks to [3-nick].
[19:08] <RAGC_LoraKor> Pretty scary team, there.  ;)
[19:08] * CLSL_Wayne is now known as [3-CLSL_Wayne]
[19:08] * CRS3_Savant is now known as [2-Savant]
[19:08] * {LCen_Farley} is now known as [3-LCen_Farley]
[19:08] * CRXO_Tal is now known as [3-CRXO_Tal]
[19:08] * CRco_Ma`Aru is now known as [3-CRco_Ma`Aru]
[19:08] <RAGC_LoraKor> I believe Team 4 is currently Ironside and Drexler, in 
Kelaka.  That correct?  If so, please change your nicks to reflect that.
[19:08] * BGDC_Ironside is now known as [4-BGDC_Ironside]
[19:08] * CRS1_Drexler is now known as [4-CRS1_Drexler]
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> Team 5 is Captain Daren and Major Prescot, in a Minerva.
[19:09] * MJBC_Prescot is now known as [5-MJBC_Prescot]
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> I see an empty seat in Kelaka, and the possibility for 
empty seats in all five ships, if someone will but spend an Engineering or 
Medical point.
[19:09] * [1-LTHL_D`rall] has none
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> Ah, correct.  No seats on team 1.
[19:10] * [2-Savant] will spend a wildcard to give team 1 an extra seat if they 
want it
[19:10] <RAGC_LoraKor> No, never mind.  Not right.  Team 1 can yet add a seat.
[19:10] * CPCO_Daren is now known as [5-CPCO_Daren]
[19:10] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> Sure, if we wanted to waste one of our wildcards... 
someone'd have to give Maiko a good reason for that. ;)
[19:10] <RAGC_LoraKor> Anyway, those not racing can observe the race from Coro's 
highly mobile lounge, the once and future Seventh Heaven, which has had a 
holographic tank instaled for the occasion.  ;)
[19:10] <[2-Savant]> like i said, i'll spend one of mine for you :p

[19:12] <RAGC_LoraKor> I suggest you head for turn #6 then spend some system 
fuel for sensors.  ;)
[19:12] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> :P
[19:12] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::raises, with grin on face::
[19:12] <RAGC_LoraKor> Lieutenant D'rall?
[19:12] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> Just a comment. If anyone does want to fly with Maiko 
and Shar, you will be expected to bring your own vomit bags ;)
[19:12] <RAGC_LoraKor> LOL
[19:12] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> LOL!
[19:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> Before the race begins -- and the race will begin in 30 
minutes, no matter if you're ready or not -- please feel free to /msg me any 
points you're spending and/or any ship Specials.
[19:13] <LCdr_Dyson> ::raises::
[19:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> Dr. Dyson?
[19:13] <LCdr_Dyson> I read the emails but i STILL dont understand what im 
supposed to be doing or where im supposed to be.
[19:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> Entirely understandable.  This is a complicated sim.  
Feel free to just join a team if you like, contribute them your points, and just 
role-play it.

[19:16] * Darkoven (~david@mail.blur.com) has left #uss-coronado
[19:16] <RAGC_LoraKor> If you're asking who has time in grade, that'd be 
Commander Ma'Aru, with 288 points.
[19:17] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Funny, I've been a Commander since 99  ;)
[19:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> And every other rank, too.  ;)
[19:17] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> ::grins::
[19:17] <CRDR_Reed> ::stifles a grin::
[19:17] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> So that means Maiko's in command?
[19:17] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Dr. Reed, stand by.  ;)
[19:17] <CRDR_Reed> hehe
[19:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> Nope, means whomever you agree on is in command.  But if 
you're asking, D'rall's got exactly 3 more points than Shar.  ;)
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> Any other questions?
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> That'd be a no.  Remember to /msg me your Specials and 
any points you want to spend.
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> Oh, and if it matters, here's the briefing.  ;)
[19:18] <CoroLCARS> =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it...
[19:18] <CoroLCARS> Stardate 240306.30: "Tradition of Losing", Part 1, story by 
Jester, but let's not kid ourselves.  Every sim has to do this at least once.
[19:18] <CoroLCARS> SUMMARY: Race day.
[19:18] <CoroLCARS> Coronado has reached the Ryla system, otherwise known as 
L042, well south of Reorsan space.  After a tense stand-off followed by a tenser 
bit of negotiations, we surprisingly -- it doesn't happen often when Coro makes 
the first contact -- find ourselves on good turns with a new race.
[19:18] <CoroLCARS> The Ryla have recently come under attack by their neighbors, 
another species called the Xur.  This species appears to be under the influence 
of the same force that subverted the crews of Chimaera and Cerberus, which the 
Ryla refer to as the "tar na zee."
[19:18] <CoroLCARS> However, with the initial negotiations concluded, the Ryla 
have invited the Defender ships nearby to participate in a Ryla traditon.  They 
celebrate a successful first treaty with a "mode of competition less deadly": a 
combination race-scavenger hunt.
[19:19] <CoroLCARS> Briefing complete.
[19:19] <CoroLCARS> All personnel be advised that U.S.S. Coronado is unavailable 
for tonight's sim. Ship functions disabled.

your unwavering efficiency.

the sleek racecraft assembling near a large Ryla fighter carrier, looks blocky

my encryption key for further communications.

[19:38] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> I wonder if it's too late to file an official protest 
with the Admiral?
[19:38] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> Worse comes to worse, data she sends us will be false 
and it means we'll have some idea of what ISN'T out there, so long as we keep an 
eye out there for ourselves.

and subsequently, sickbay itself, heading towards the TL::
[19:40] <[2-Savant]> +taps+ That's okay. As long as someone on Coronado wins, I 
can claim a partial victory... and besides... ships are supposed to help their 
captains out, aren't they?

[19:55] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:55] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> So I noticed... would you like some company? ::acutally 
smiles for once::
[19:55] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Savant, we've attempted to scan one of the 
Whipsnakes, as well.  No success
[19:55] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:55] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> I mean, in a situation like this, how would anyone 
react? I mean, I trust Savant implicitly onboard, but now I'm worried.
[19:55] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> Aye sir...
[19:56] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> ::is a bit thrown off:: Uh...I...suppose...
[19:56] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Acknowledged, Kelaka. Turning attention to the 
Danube. Over.
[19:56] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:56] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ We've boosted our sensors.  Based on the 
tactical assessment, they must have put some work into their stealth systems.
[19:56] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:56] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> Whats with the look? You seem surprised... ::sits down 
and smiles:: may I ask why?
[19:56] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> ::nods:: Agreed. I think it probably would have been 
better if it had been a relay race. Four or five teams from Coronado versus the 
equal number of Rylans.
[19:57] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Stealth systems work terribly when they're trailing 
plasma. Over.
[19:57] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:57] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> ::furrows his brow, studying Dyson as if she might be a 
hallucination:: You're never this amicable around me...what're you up to?

to your screens.
[19:57] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> ::grins at Savant's response:: +com+ Now now, 
Savant.  No firing until marker 5.
[19:57] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:57] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::nods:: I just feel awkward going up in a race 
against people we only just met... just doesn't seem like a smart idea. Stealth 
does at this point though. ::smile::
[19:57] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> I just feel like being nice... Im not as rough and 
snappy as you think I am. ::smiles::
[19:58] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> ::nods:: True... I haven't detected any attempt at 
scaning us though.
[19:58] <[2-Savant]> +com+ I have it timed to the millisecond - oh, and General, 
please ensure that you don't get behind me.
[19:58] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

crossing her fingers::

position yourself, Savant?  Where can we best work with you?
[19:59] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:59] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The ships jostle for position. Speed appears to be 
artificially limited near the carrier, so nobody is leading as yet.
[19:59] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> No... Just thought we got off to a bad start. ::smiles 
and sips her drink::
[19:59] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> Charlie> I see you smiling....are you playing 
matchmaker again my dear?
[19:59] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> The second razorfang has modified sensors and 
maneuver...
[19:59] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::Shrugs:: Just best to be safe for now. How about 
Savant's sensor reports?
[20:00] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> ::smiles:: now....why would I be doing a thing like 
that? I'm just a simple bartender...
[20:00] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> Huh...::takes a sip of his green whiskey::  I see you 
weren't particularly interested in this race business either.
[20:00] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> Charlie> Yea..right and I'm a monkey's uncle...

moment, Kelaka. Advise that you stay somewhat more central. Over.

compete.
[20:07] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> <<err..ma'am>>
[20:07] <[2-Savant]> 7H> Why is that Doctor?
[20:07] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> Everyone's probably running stealth this early on, so 
we'd be better saving scans for later on when people drop 'em.
[20:07] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> Right which we don't plan on doing. ::smirks::

[20:09] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Roger that, team 5. Not much to scan for over

to go in clean.
[20:09] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

possible.
[20:09] <[2-Savant]> ::Savant waits until the appropriate millisecond before

[20:10] <[2-Savant]> 7H> Draining? why would it be draining? Goodness no.. it's 
actually quite nice.
[20:11] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= A warship near the first marker fires a torpedo 
and suddely the ships break and scatter. Cheering is audible over the comm 
systems.

[20:12] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> true...you might want to pay attn to those ships 
though...wouldn't want you to needing repair
[20:12] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Cute.  Who's firing torpedoes?
[20:12] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= A Spectre, recognizably Savant, then pulls away 
from the pack and jumps ahead of them both.
[20:12] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:12] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> And here's where the fun starts.  ::watches the tank 
with disheartened interest::
[20:13] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> I believe Wayne  would be quite upset if your brought 
his ship back in pieces

not looking to burn all their fuel at the start of the race::
[20:14] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Accelerate.  We must hold with the others at this stage.
[20:15] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Savant to Kelaka. Razorfang five is modified more 
than *I* am. Additional thrust vectors, sensor pods... I can see a great 
increase in maneuverability, acceleration and sensors from my end. Over.
[20:15] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

things more fun. ::evil Maiko grin as she begins to pilot the Vega seemingly all 
over the place::

sensors as a Whipsnake, swarms in behind Savant threateningly. Meanwhile, the 
Hornet piloted by D'rall and Shar is passed by more or less everyone despite its 
desperate weaving around.
[20:15] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:15] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> We can go slower once we have established ourselves as 
the undisputed pack leader.
[20:15] <[4-CRS1_Drexler]> This ship has some good getty-up.  ::glances at the 
sensors::   
[20:16] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> ::ignores the torp as the Wraith increases speed:: 
Speed increasing, Ma'am. She isn't the fast but she will take hold her speed 
better than the others. 
[20:16] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Acknowledged, Savant.  Recommend we designate 
target 1.  Do you have manoueverability numbers?
[20:16] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:16] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> ::watches as everyone flies by:: Well that plan didn't 
go so well.
[20:16] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Aye, General, reading 15000 burn ratio. That's a 5% 
margin of increase over the standard. (+1 maneuver ^_^)
[20:16] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:17] <[2-Savant]> +com+ And if you could be so good as to get this tail off 
of me, I'd be much obliged. I'd hate to give away my secret so early in the 
game. Over.
[20:17] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:17] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::chuckle:: Never heard the story of the toroise and 
the hare?
[20:17] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Roger that.  We can still engage without

[20:18] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> ::eyes the others ahead:: Looks like some of the racers 
might not be playing fair.

Razorgfang designated as 5 has maneuver, acceleration and sensor modifications. 
That one's going to be a tough customer. Over.
[20:18] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:19] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> ::mutters to himself:: No, one moment. +com+ Savant, 
correction.  We will need to modify weapons systems to engage.

[20:19] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> ::takes a swig of his drink, eyes on the holotank::
[20:19] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> You expected fair, Colonel?  The rules were few and far 
between.  All else is technically "fair".
[20:19] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> Something in there of interest? ::smiles and looks back 
at Reed::
[20:19] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The crowd is pretty jumbled, but it's clear that 
Savant's Spectre is currently leading, followed closely by a pack of other 
ships.

too slow and consequently the tortoise won the race right?
[20:21] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> No.  I'm just waiting for someone to get hurt and us to

[20:22] <[3-LCen_Farley]> ::takes the seat pointed out:: Thank you!
[20:24] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Mr. Wayne, we are in this to win.  Understand that.  
Nothing else matters except a true emergency.
[20:24] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::chuckle:: No, actually the hare got tired, took a 
nap, and the tortoise got by... ::steps up their acceleration slightly:: Not 
only that, but we aren't exactly carrying a lot of fuel.
[20:25] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Savant accelerates apparently out of control, 
screaming toward Marker 2.

you?

believing that our competitors will fall asleep. We could have a mess on our 
hands if they do.
[20:25] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::looking out the window:: Maybe I should have made 
Savant take the flight qualification tests....

an eye on the race as well as the patrons::

think of her as such.
[20:27] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> Mind if I call you Alec? ::smiles and sips her drink::
[20:27] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> But she's also carrying even less fuel than we are. 
She must have some sort of modification on that ship to be wanting to pull that 
off.

the rest of us?
[20:28] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> Any idea what Savant is up to sir?
[20:28] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> Let's get our speed up, keep your eyes out for Marker 
2, it may come up fast and we need to speed down for that...
[20:28] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::chuckles, noticing his surprise but keeping calm:: 
Alright.. Alec. ::smiles and looks back over at Bordeux::
[20:28] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> ::performing area scan::
[20:28] <[2-Savant]> ::Savant smirks as everyone wondered what she was doing - 
to be perfectly honest, she was simply enjoying herself::

readings::
[20:29] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Kelaka almost keeps pace with Savant, pulling out 
of the pack, which is well behind. Marker 2 is coming up awfully fast...

them::
[20:29] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::smiles and looks back at Reed::
[20:29] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> ...is there something specific on your mind, D--Lauren?
[20:29] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::shrugs:: Does it matter? I'd rather have everyone 
focused on her while we quietly keep pace at the back of the pack. ::grin::
[20:30] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Marker Two coming up.  Ready to pass at prescribed speed.
[20:30] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The self-proclaimed Pilot Hornet is now falling 
further and further behind...
[20:30] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::shakes her head, and smiles:: No, you just looked like 
you could use some company.
[20:30] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> waiter> may I get you anything?

are approximately half way through the patrol portion of the race, Tal.  
[20:32] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> ::nods at Drexler's manouever, watching the marker 
approach::
[20:32] <PO1_Bordeux_7H> waiter> anything for you sir?
[20:32] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> ::has a look at sensors:: Alright, Marker 2 is on it's 
way....let me do some calculations...
[20:32] <[2-Savant]> :Savant casually applies the brakes as she continues along 
the track, humming to herself inside the cockpit::

good for now.
[20:33] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> ::nods, not responding verbally so not to distract 
the Captain::
[20:33] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> ::shakes his head:: Uh you have noticed that we're 
falling behind Lieutenant?
[20:33] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::smiles and nods to the waiter, then looks at Reed 
before looking back out the window briefly::
[20:34] <[2-Savant]> that was fun.. but I imagine I ought to keep better fuel 
discipline.

herself::
[20:35] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> Thank you.. ::seems unusually polite and smiles, 
brushing some of her hair out of her eyes:: Nice to get out of uniform for once. 
::is wearing a light blue knee length dress, with her hair down around her 
shoulders::
[20:35] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> +com+ Wraith team to Savant.  For someone who doesn't 
care if she wins, you certainly seem to be doing well enough for yourself.
[20:35] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:36] <[2-Savant]> +Com+ Savant to Team 3. Forward observing does generally 
mean being in the front, Commander.
[20:36] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:36] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Savant now leaves the Razorfang behind, in serious 
danger of whipping around the Marker too fast.
[20:36] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:36] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> ::looks up:: I think we should maintain top speed, then 
begin to slow for Marker 2, it'll be close, but I have faith in you Major...
[20:36] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> ::nods::  Aye sir...  Tell me when to slow down
[20:37] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> ::smiles as he hears Savant's response as he begins to 
prep the Wraith for her next maneuver:: 
[20:37] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> ::mutters:: Forward observer, my left butt cheek.
[20:37] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> ::nods::
[20:37] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> ::glances down at his uniform and medical cloak:: I'd 
get out of this, but people have a tendency to refrain from being quite as 
bothersome if you were a medical coat.  
[20:37] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Your left butt cheek is too busy sitting to be able 
to see much of anything, Commander. Out.
[20:37] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:38] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::smiles:: If Im bothering you Alec I do appologize. 
::starts to stand up, her hair flipping over her shoulder as she turns to look 
at him::
[20:38] * [3-CRXO_Tal] wonders how Savant over heard her over the inavtive comm 
channel and grimaces at the implications.
[20:38] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Savant to Kelaka. Once I've gotten a lead I'll do my 
best ot catch any Banshees or anything else going by. Advise if you find a 
useful spot for a minefield, or a good target. Over.
[20:38] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:38] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> Those Razorfangs are awfully fast...::checking the 
tactical readout of the class that is now falling behind Savant::
[20:38] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Savant can hear everything we say.  I think we might have 
more problems from her than expected.
[20:39] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +cm+ Acknowledged, Savant.  You are currently 
pulling ahead of the Razorfang with you....you sure you'll be able to make that 
turn?
[20:39] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> Oh, that's not what I meant.  I just meant ::gestures:: 
the average peon.
[20:40] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::nods and looks at him briefly before sitting down, 
smiling again::
[20:40] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> Well we are receiving data from Savant so she could be 
monitoring our progress as well. ::makes a rough estimate of their time to the 
marker:: Tal, we are getting close. 
[20:40] <[2-Savant]> +com+ ::She replied with cheer:: Relax, General, I'm just 
trying to get a bit of a lead. It's been forever since anyone's actually let me 
fly anything around here.
[20:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:41] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> ::Kelaka's running third:: There's quite a few ships 
between us and them, but at least we're not last...
[20:41] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Roger that.
[20:41] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:41] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Hold tight, Colonel.  We'll brake in time.
[20:41] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> ::raises an eyebrow::  Aye sir...  Being last would 
be bad form
[20:42] <[4-CRS1_Drexler]> +com+  Savant, if you look at the map of the race, 
there are three cross-points that could be suitable for putting some mines in 
the future path of the race.
[20:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:42] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Will decelerate to proper turning vector and continue 
to next waypoint with more caution... unless our Banshee friend has decided to 
stay ahead. Over.
[20:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:42] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Aye, Kelaka. Will deploy anti-ship devices at those 
points. Over.

accel::
[20:42] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> Dy--Lauren, you're entire demeanor around me has 
changed.  Why?
[20:42] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The Banshee decloaks, directly behind Team 3.
[20:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:42] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Those Banshees can only move as fast as we 
can, Savant.  They can't be....
[20:42] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:43] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ Far from us.
[20:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:43] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> ::thinks momentarily:: Perhaps now would be a good idea 
to bring the sensors to full power?
[20:43] <RAGC_LoraKor> Banshee> +com+ Bang, you're dead.
[20:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:43] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> We have a Banshee decloaking directly astern.

and let us know what it is. Over.
[20:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

two's coming up!
[20:43] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> ::hits the breaks as ordered, decelerating::
[20:43] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> +com+ Cute, Banshee.  But can you dance?
[20:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:44] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::feverishly working console:: Alright, Marker 2, 
required speed, deceleration there, done.
[20:44] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> Nice work Lieutenant.
[20:44] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Savant to Banshee pilot. Congratulations, that's a 
fantastic little machine there. I hope you have the fuel to make it. Over.
[20:44] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:44] <[4-CRS1_Drexler]> ::glances at Ironside::  It's a fine little ship.
[20:44] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Meanwhile, a Razorfang bumps the Spectre from 
Vanguard, pushing it out of the way and pulling ahead.
[20:45] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> ::nods and glances at the upcoming marker:: Here we 
go...::instinctively grips the armrest of his chair::
[20:45] <RAGC_LoraKor> Race Coordinator> +com+ All ships, you are approaching 
Marker 2.  All ships slow to speed 8 for Marker 2.

as he stays there.... ::grins as he slows the Wraith for the Marker::
[20:46] <[4-CRS1_Drexler]> ::sharply decelerates to the marked speed requirement 
and begins the turn::
[20:46] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Savant's Spectre roars by the Marker, the first 
ship to do so.
[20:46] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:47] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> ::looks back at Reed:: Can I be nice without having a 
reason? ::smiles::

[20:47] <[2-Savant]> ::Savant pushed her Spectre past the marker, slowing down 
just enough to roar past it cleanly::
[20:47] <[5-MJBC_Prescot]> ::nods and does so::  Speed 10 now sir
[20:48] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> As we decelerate, Colonel, see if we can't make that 
Banshee back off a bit.
[20:48] <CRDR_Reed> 7H> Yeah, but apparently unjustified pleasantness is often 
something to be suspicious of.
[20:48] <[3-CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::looks up from the sensors to wayne:: We're right on 
target, good job with the speed control
[20:49] <LCdr_Dyson_7H> Well I have no reason to mislead you Alec..  ::smiles::
[20:49] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= A Whipsnake and a Razorfang are hot on Savant's 
tail.
[20:49] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> ::glances back at Ma'Aru:: You are doing a marvelous job 
of coordinating our efforts, Commander.  Are you certain that you were never in 
Starship Operations?

shame I have morals, or they'd be eating minefields

[20:51] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> ::scans Razorfang 3:: Hmm, still no change.  Alright, 
get ready to slow again for the Marker Mr. Prescott!

sir
[20:51] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> +com+ We're right behind them, Commander.  Rounding 
Marker 2 now.
[20:51] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:52] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Acknowledged.  I'm trying to come up with some way to 
break their shroud, Kelaka. Stand by. Over.
[20:52] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:52] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The Pilot Hornet heads for Marker 2, clearly 
moving too fast. A couple of spectator ships scatter to get out of the little 
Hornet's way.
[20:53] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> Slow us down Lieutenant or we're going to be in 
trouble...
[20:53] <[2-Savant]> +com+ Kelaka, please prepare to concentrate scans on this 
Whipsnake. We'll triangulate its' attributes. Over.
[20:53] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:54] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The Hornet slams on full brakes just in the nick 
of time, whipsawing back a few thousand kilometers shy of the Marker.

used to the nav readout on this thing. ::smacks console with her hand, wishing 
she had taken the time to reset it to the Minerva's style::
[20:57] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> And we're clear.  Excellent flying, Colonel.  You do 
service to your uniform.
[20:57] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> Alright, drop the hammer again! ::holds onto something, 
grins::
[20:57] <[1-LTtc_Shar]> Didn't try a little test run on the holodeck?

[21:01] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Mr. Farley, think we can pump a little more power into 
the engines?
[21:01] <[3-LCen_Farley]> How much do you need maam?
[21:02] <[2-Savant]> +Com+ Savant to all competing craft. Take this as you like, 
but the Banshee on the field has the fuel and extra maneuverability to win this 
race hands-down. Recommend we consider him objective one, and then finish off 
this race. Over.

[21:12] <[3-CRco_Ma`Aru]> I really have no idea either.
[21:12] <RAGC_LoraKor> LOL
[21:12] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> She means, she wants to run all 5 legs so our Wraith will 
be able to take advantage of our benefits.
[21:12] <[3-CRco_Ma`Aru]> the second half makes sence, though
[21:12] <[3-CRco_Ma`Aru]> err, first
[21:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> ::nods::  I'm gonna compress the objectives of the other 
legs into this one.
[21:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> Since you haven't seen most of the other markers yet, I 
can get away with this.  ;)
[21:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> The object at Marker 6 will now be the freighter that 
needs rescuing.
[21:13] <[3-CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::nods, appesed::
[21:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> Captain Daren?
[21:14] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> Comment: Slow but nice...rock on...can't wait til the 
shooting starts ;)
[21:14] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> ::raises::
[21:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> Neither can I.  ::chuckles::  Next time, I'll simplify 
further.  I think I gave you guys too many systems to worry about.
[21:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> I might compress 'em a bit before next week.
[21:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> Lieutenant D'rall?
[21:14] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> Is it possible we could have a readout of everyone's 
location at the end of each round? It'd really help to be able to keep track of 
everything.
[21:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> Absolutely hell no.  ;)
[21:14] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> LOL
[21:14] <[1-LTHL_D`rall]> ::groans::
[21:14] <[3-LCen_Farley]> ::raises::
[21:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> Not without scanning them.  However, I will now allow an 
unsuccessful scan to at least pinpoint location and speed.
[21:14] <[3-CRXO_Tal]> Only if you scan us.  Just try it with this Wraith.  ;)
[21:15] <[4-BGDC_Ironside]> If you spend the sensor cost, I'm sure you can.
[21:15] <RAGC_LoraKor> Colonel Wayne?
[21:15] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> you changed the objective of the first race by adding a 
freighter in distress?
[21:16] <RAGC_LoraKor> ::nods::  Since it's obvious we're only gonna get through 
1 of 5 legs, I'm gonna compress the objectives of the other legs into this one.
[21:16] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> okies
[21:16] <RAGC_LoraKor> So, call Markers 1-2 leg one.  ;)
[21:17] <[3-CLSL_Wayne]> kewl
[21:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> OK, I think we're done.  :)  As I said, experimental, but 
hopefully fun.  :)
[21:17] <[3-LCen_Farley]> Does each ship have it's own freighter to rescue or do 
we wait in line for the same one?
[21:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> I certainly enjoyed, and hope that (most of) you did, 
too.  ;)
[21:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> Everyone will use the same freighter.  That was the 
intent for that leg.
[21:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> There's more than enough for everyone, don't worry.  ;)
[21:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> Captain, your crew.  :)
[21:18] <[5-CPCO_Daren]> LCARS, we're done racing....where's the pit stop?

[21:18] <Jester> Whew.  What I mainly need is a bigger screen, that can hold 10 
spreadsheets.  ;)
[21:18] <Jester> I might set up all of my laptops around me next week for 
quicker spreadsheet updates.  ;)
[21:19] * Aggie is now known as Aggie|Food
[21:19] <Chris> I have three screens and I was going nuts...and I only had one 
team to follow :)
[21:19] <Dolin> LOL
[21:19] <CCC> or multi- ones
[21:19] <Dolin> take a pic ross if ya do it
[21:19] <Alffred> Well it was a sim.... Not sure I enjoyed it much but that's 
just me. :)
[21:19] <Kari> buy a cheap pci vid card and set up a dual head system
[21:19] <Jester> ::nods::  It's not for everybody.
[21:19] <Jester> But Mouse is right about one thing: gave me a very solid feel 
for how the fantasy sim is gonna go.
[21:19] <Chris> Dan: Because you guys....suck, maybe :)
[21:19] <Alffred> Is the number crunching pretty much how the fantasy sim is 
going to end up going?
[21:19] <Savant> slowly during fights o_o
[21:19] * Chris trash-talks...
[21:19] <Jester> I think I'm gonna abstract/ignore movement entirely for that 
sim.
[21:20] <Jester> You can attack pretty much whatever it is you want to attack.
[21:20] * Savant nods
[21:20] * LCdr_Dyson is now known as Lauren
[21:20] <Jester> Fireball will become Firebolt, basically a much stronger, 
multi-pronged magic missile.
[21:20] <Jester> Etc.
[21:20] <Jester> That should speed things up tremendously.
[21:21] <Alffred> Well I can't speak for Farrell but I know I don't do very well 
with these kinds of things.
[21:21] <Chris> Yeah, unless we get a graphics engine or something :)
[21:21] <Jester> Lightning attacks will bounce from head to head, right over 
obstacles and such.
[21:21] * [4-CREN_Oswald] is now known as sonya
[21:21] * Savant nods... i've been thinking of using the abstracted combat 
system for heavy gear, too
