[19:07] <RAGC_LoraKor> Welcome everyone to the second sim in August.  I've said 
it once in sim briefing, but I'll mention it here too: if you can't make a sim, 
please let me know in advance.  I understand this time of year is vacation time, 
but at least take a moment and send an e-mail before you go on vacation.  ;)
[19:08] <[LCen_Farley]> Put it on the top of the to-do list for your vacation 
plans!
[19:08] <RAGC_LoraKor> I'd also like to congratulate Commander Zunite Oswald and 
(were he/she here) Commander Savant.  Both were recognized with Starfleet's 
highest career achievement medal this past week, the Galaxy Cluster.

[19:09] <CoroLCARS> =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it...
[19:09] <CoroLCARS> Stardate 240308.04: "Loop in the Thread", Part 3, story by 
CCC and LewisSharp, teleplay by Jester.
[19:09] <CoroLCARS> SUMMARY: An unexpected consequence.  An obvious revelation.
[19:09] <CoroLCARS> U.S.S. Coronado completed her survey of the L036/L037 binary 
system.  This system is incredibly rich in dilithium-based asteroids and 
planetoids orbiting a red/orange dwarf star pair.  However, we now have reason 
to suspect the dilithium was being used as a beacon.
[19:09] <CoroLCARS> There's obviously no better way of getting our attention, 
and when we investigated, we found a Jjaro artifact: an ancient defensive tower 
identical to the one built in Alexandria, the city within the Xanadu asteroid-
starship.  Commander Tal led an away team into this tower.
[19:09] <CoroLCARS> In the process, she herself was badly injured in an attack 
by subverted Xur carriers and fighters once her team reached the tower.  
However, the away team was successful and we have recovered some 300 megaquads 
of encrypted data, delivered by an unexpected messenger...
[19:09] <CoroLCARS> Briefing complete.

[19:11] <RAGC_LoraKor> We pick up less than an hour after last week, with the 
data safely in Coro's computer banks, various people trying different things on 
it, etc.  The other four Defender starships are here as well.  All four are in 
various states of hurt, with Valkyrie being worse off, and Vanquish a close 
second.
[19:11] <BGDC_Ironside> Valkyrie, Vanquish and Vanguard, oh my!
[19:12] <RAGC_LoraKor> Vanguard is seeing to assisting these two vessels.  Since 
we have no medical personnel, sadly, I'll relate this as an off-camera tidbit: 
our XO, Commander Velorna Tal, is still seriously injured from her shuttlecraft 
escape.  The medical team has been fighting to try to save her life since we 
escaped L036/L037.
[19:12] <CRXO_Tal> ::snorts:: they saved my life, if you read my log; they're 
just waiting for me to wake up  :-p
[19:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> Aggie is annoyed because right before we begin tonight, 
word is sent up from Sickbay that they were unsuccessful.  Commander Tal 
succumbed to her injuries and is deceased.
[19:13] <LTHL_D`rall> WOOHOOO!
[19:13] <LTHL_D`rall> Oh... sorry :)
[19:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> And that's where we pick up.  Any questions?

some bad news...

room::
[19:18] <LTTC_Shar> ::raises a brow and looks at the Captain::
[19:18] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> I wonder whether or not the subverted Xur knew what 
we were after, or whether they simply attacked us because they found us?
[19:18] <CPCO_Daren> ::looks a bit concerned at the tone of Green's voice:: 
+taps+ Let's have it Doctor...

[19:19] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::looks up as he sets the PADD aside:: Torres, how is 
Wraith 4 faring? ::listens to the report:: Dammit they are in worse shape than 
us. Have Wraith 2 stand by to evacuate Wraith 4. They are a total loss.
[19:19] <CRXO_Tal> <Dr. Green> +taps+ Commander Tal has died from her injuries 
sustained on the away mission.  Dr. Reed wanted to tell you himself, but he's 
resting now.  He - he's pretty worn out over it all, physically and emotionally, 
sir.

same stuff the admiral is::

[19:21] <[LCen_Farley]> ::pushes the ready room door bell::
[19:21] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::tiredly::  It's a good bet that they found out 
somehow what we had acquired.  They abandoned their fighters the instant 
Commander Tal's team hit the control room.
[19:21] <CPCO_Daren> ::sighs:: +Taps+ Very well Doctor...uh, I'll make 
arrangements for a memorial service once things have toned down a bit.  Thank 
Doctor Reed for all his efforts for me...Daren out.

she puts this off, the longer it'll take to get back on full active duty::
[19:21] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> RR> ::looks up:: Come in.
[19:21] <CRXO_Tal> <Dr. Green> +taps+ Um, actually, sir...
[19:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:21] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> But do they know whether soley that it's Jjaro 
data....or do they know what it contains?
[19:21] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Coronado's LORASON array shows clearly that the 
Xur haven't given up, by the way. But they have fallen back to recover their 
fighters and -- on LORASON sensors -- appear to be preparing to make another run 
at us.
[19:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:22] <LTTC_Shar> ::looks back at the Captain, wondering how he's taking the 
news::
[19:22] <[LCen_Farley]> ::walks in:: Hello maam. I have an updated repair report 
for you. ::had's her the PADD::
[19:22] <CPCO_Daren> +taps+ Was there something else?  ::looks confused::
[19:22] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:22] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::listens intently as more bad news is delivered:: 
Understood. Do your best Chief. If we can save her then by all means.  
[19:22] <Ensc_King> ::walks down towards the Captain, stopping short and going 
to attention::
[19:22] <MJBC_Prescot> ::looks over the LORASON incomming information::  Im 
afraind Captain we have a problem here...
[19:22] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> There's no way to tell.  But even a third of what's 
here is sufficient to contain very significant data.  ::pulls up a particular 
sequence::  This sequence is repeated three times in the file.
[19:22] <LTHL_D`rall> TL> ::enters the nearest turbolift:: Deck 6.
[19:22] <CRXO_Tal> <Dr. Green> +taps+ Dr. Reed read the contents of the 
commander's will.  She specifically asked for no service of any kind.  She also 
left a personal letter for Lt. D'Rall that we didn't open....
[19:22] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:22] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> RR> ::takes it, setting it on the table:: Short version?
[19:22] <LTTC_Shar> ::monitoring the LORASON sensors in lue of the science 
officer at the moment:: Captain we are being persued sir.
[19:23] <CPCO_Daren> ::nods silently to the Ensign and points him in the 
direction of the Science station::
[19:23] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> I think whatever code we enter will destroy two 
portions of the data, and give us access to the third.
[19:23] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> 
[19:23] <BGDC_Ironside> <<bah>>
[19:23] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::look around for any friendly faces but see none:: 
ah well, let's keep it up..
[19:23] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> Lt_Torres-Wr3>  Sir, Wraith 4 is being abandoned now. 
Structural integrity is failing near engineering and Major Rose has ordered the 
Wraith abandoned. 
[19:23] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC>And a different code will destroy two different 
portions...
[19:24] <CPCO_Daren> ::raises an eyebrow:: +taps+ Very well, we shall of course 
honor her final request.  And I will inform Lieutenant D'rall at once...
[19:24] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:24] <LTHL_D`rall> 6> ::steps out of the turbolift and heads down the 
corridor for sickbay, hoping that she'll be cleared for duty after this::
[19:24] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> Perhaps there is more than one code to retrieve the 
data?
[19:24] <Ensc_King> ::nods and moves towards the science station, takes a seat, 
and logs in:: Now..lets see what we have in here...
[19:24] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  We need to be sure to make copies of this code.
[19:24] <[LCen_Farley]> Well from the reports of the other ships we are the 
better of the bunch. Except for torpedoes. Which I used the last of them when we 
left.
[19:24] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Err, the data, that is.
[19:24] * CRXO_Tal is now known as LTdr_Green
[19:24] <LTTC_Shar> ::transfers control of the science sensors back to the 
science station:: There you go Ensign.
[19:25] <[LCen_Farley]> No major problems and the minor ones are being worked on 
as we speak.
[19:25] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> It's only 310 megaquads, that won't be a 
problem...::taps a couple of buttons, saving several copies of the data into 
different root directories and subfolders::

[19:25] <Ensc_King> ::looks at Shar:: Thank you, sir.
[19:25] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::sighs:: Alright. Have Wraith 2 get a tractor lock 
on 4. We will try and bring her back for scrap. Make sure that self destructs 
are activated just in case the Xur return.

[19:26] <LTdr_Green> M> ::cuts the comm from the bridge and turns back to his

Men....so little Asprin!)
[19:27] <LTHL_D`rall> ::spots Doctor Green:: Alright, I know I'm a half hour 
late for this, but can we just get this whole examination over with? ::still 
feels ill-at-ease in Sickbay given previous experiences::
[19:27] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> I was under the impression that the headaches you 
were experiencing had ceased after the Adversary incident at Xanadu.
[19:27] <CPCO_Daren> ::nods to Shar:: Are they catching up?
[19:27] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> I don't think we're going to be resupplied with 
torpedoes until we get a chance to get back to Reorsa, though we're not totally 
out of this yes. ::motions towards the LORASAN scan results:: Anything related 
to combat, especially the phasers, needs first priority until we are outside 
range of the Xur.
[19:27] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> So was I.  I was mistaken.  ::settles himself, then 
opens his eyes slowly::  We cannot experiment with passcodes for this data.  
Given that the program is written to Federation database spec, it is likely that 
we could set off unexpected consequences by guessing.
[19:27] <LTTC_Shar> ::checks his sensor readings:: Slowly but yes they are sir.
[19:27] <LTdr_Green> M> Late?  For?  Oh... your appointment with Doctor Reed... 
um, yes, Lieutenant... ah, we can't - well - he's occupied right now.
[19:28] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::try to get a report to show up on his console for 
the impulse drive:: Report on that is comming in Ma'am, as for me, I was style 
monitoring the shield modifycation to see what goes on with it.
[19:28] <[LCen_Farley]> The false matter shields are good to go, the regular 
shields are at 50% and the phasers are at 100%.
[19:28] <LTHL_D`rall> M> Well, guess there's no way around that then. You going 
to take care of that for me or should I just come back at another time?
[19:28] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> Better report this ::taps his console:: +taps+ Wayne 
to Ironside, Status report is coming your way. Wraith 4 is a complete write off. 
Wraith 3 is badly damaged but possibly salvageble. 
[19:28] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:28] <[LCen_Farley]> Can we get any torps from some of the more damaged 
ships?
[19:28] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Actually, sir, you've had recurring headaches for 
weeks before that, as I recall.
[19:29] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> You recall correctly, Commander.  It will pass.  
Let's concentrate on why we are here.
[19:29] <LTdr_Green> M> ::frowns:: I can do the job.  I - um - well - actually.  
Have a seat.  Yes, please have a seat.
[19:29] <Ensc_King> ::taps his console and brings up sensor readings on the 
ships::
[19:29] <CREN_Oswald> E>::nods:: okay, well make sure someone gets on the engine 
housing too, I'll be in my office if you need me ::heads for her office::
[19:29] <LTHL_D`rall> ::shrugs and hops up on the biobed, lying back::
[19:29] <LTTC_Shar> ::sees another message pop up on his terminal:: Captain I'm 
also getting a subspace disruption forming in L036/L037.
[19:29] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> I agree.  The naming of the Gateway hypergate as 
the password seems to indicate that the Jjaro wished only Starfleet personnel 
were able to access the tower.  The second passcode may be further narrowing the 
group that they wished to see the data; only those who have found Xanadu, 
perhaps.
[19:30] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> I'll call around to the various ships, see if I can 
scrounge of any. For the time, though, we should assume that our stock is going 
to be empty until we can reload them ourselves.
[19:30] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::nods to the CEO::
[19:30] <CPCO_Daren> ::hears Shar ad turns to King:: Ensign King, can you 
confirm?
[19:30] <LTdr_Green> M> ::pulls up the biobed's scanning protocols:: This will 
only take a minute.
[19:30] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= A new marker appears in the L036/L037 system.

[19:30] <LTTC_Shar> ::looks over at the young science officer::
[19:30] <LTdr_Green> M> ::glances at some green splatter still on his surgical 
gown and frowns::
[19:30] <LTHL_D`rall> Minutes are what I seem to have had plenty of lately.
[19:30] <[LCen_Farley]> Will do maam, I'll reroute all torps system power to 
phaser's and shields.
[19:30] * Ensc_King is now known as ENsc_king
[19:31] <MJBC_Prescot> Something new on the last pulse Captain...
[19:31] * ENsc_king is now known as ENsc_King
[19:31] <LTdr_Green> M> Yes, just a few minutes now...
[19:31] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> The fact that the information was presented by an 
avatar of the late Commander Smith - one that appeared more youthful and strong, 
in particular - may be another clue as to whom they wanted to restrict the data 
to.
[19:31] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Or perhaps... only us.  "Smith" did say that "he" 
was unsure who'd be receiving the message.
[19:31] <CPCO_Daren> ::turns to the holotank, where the sensor data has been 
relayed:: Let's have a closer look...full sweep, what are we looking at exactly?
[19:31] <LTHL_D`rall> M> Busy day?
[19:31] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::nods, closing his eyes again::  I'm sure that's 
not a coincidence, particularly since the hologram wasn't interactive.
[19:32] <ENsc_King> ::taps as new alerts pop up:: What the hell? ::turns to the 
captain:: Sir, we're getting readings of a subspace disruption from L036/L037!
[19:32] <LTTC_Shar> ::concentrates on the persuing Xur and let's the science 
officer do his job::
[19:32] <LTdr_Green> M> ::nods distractedly:: Too long a day.  We spent close to 
three hours in surgery - Drs. Reed, Dyson, and myself.
[19:32] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The holographic image zooms in. A rippling field 
of energy is visible, just outside the asteroid field in L036/L037. The Xur 
warships there are avoiding it.
[19:32] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::nods, picking up the PADD with the updated report on 
it::
[19:32] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> We do know that Commander Smith has been stored in 
Xanadu's city memory - not active, but he is there.  How he survives the 
transition from our Xanadu to...the next Xanadu, however....
[19:33] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::get someone to check up the impulse drive::
[19:33] <[LCen_Farley]> If that is all maam, I'll get to the power changes.
[19:33] <LTdr_Green> M> ::sighs:: Okay, Lieutenant.  It looks like you're 
recovering nicely.  I'll get you a hypo in case you have any abdominal pains 
later.
[19:33] <ENsc_King> <<I apaologize for the slowness. I'm lagging terribly for 
some reason.>>
[19:33] <MJBC_Prescot> The Xur ships are avoiding the distortion sir...  I do 
not think this is there doing
[19:33] <LTHL_D`rall> Really? ::suddenly remembers being asked to go on the away 
team:: Guess I lucked out... if I hadn't been on light duty, I'd have been on 
that away team. Who was it?
[19:33] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  The "next" Xanadu, Jeremy?
[19:33] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> If the Jjaro read our database at Xanadu, they could 
have pulled Commander Smith's records there.  It doesn't mean that he is Jjaro 
himself.
[19:33] <LTTC_Shar> Captain, the Xur formation is weird... It's almost as if 
they are planning on setting up an ambush but no one is there to ambush... Least 
far as I can tell.
[19:33] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::turns to the sensors:: Lt Fox, keep an eye out for 
any signs of the Xur. If they are coming back, we might not have a choice but to 
abandon ship. Torres, move us away from the fleet. We can at least try and avoid 
being in their way. 
[19:33] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::looks up:: Yeah. I think that's everything.
[19:34] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::nods::  I have a feeling it was only an image.
[19:34] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Something for familiarity.
[19:34] <LTdr_Green> M> ::moves over to a terminal and pulls up a piece of data, 
transferring it quickly to a padd::
[19:34] <[LCen_Farley]> Thank you maam. ::turns to head out of the room::
[19:34] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::smirks slightly:: The Xanadu that will be built 
in fifty-odd years.
[19:34] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The subspace disruption looks... familiar. It 
looks very much like a tear in space. You can almost see Panache falling into 
it, touching the event horizon, and destroying herself...
[19:34] <LTdr_Green> M> You might want to read this, Lieutenant.  It explains - 
it explains a lot, I think.
[19:34] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::frowns slightly:: Actually, Farley...
[19:34] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  I don't think Commander Smith has anything to do 
with that.
[19:34] <CPCO_Daren> ::steps closer to the holoimage::  Wierd, Mr. Shar?  That 
has to be the first time I have heard anyone of your race use that word. 
::grins:: Maybe you're spending too much time with us.  What is the apparent 
target of their ambush?
[19:35] <ENsc_King> ::looks down at his console and frowns:: This is gettin 
weird...
[19:35] <CPCO_Daren> <<er, where is the apparent...>>
[19:35] <LTHL_D`rall> M> ::glances at the doctor and takes the PADD, expecting 
to see an away team report or something to the effect of describing who was 
injured::
[19:35] <[LCen_Farley]> ::hears her call and turns back and see's her frown:: 
Yes, maam?
[19:35] <LTTC_Shar> Is anyone else finding the disruption looking a little 
familiar??
[19:35] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Just like the dilithium, it was just a validation 
for us to know that we're in the right direction.
[19:35] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= There is an odd... flickering. And then Xanadu is 
in L036/L037.
[19:35] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::nods:: Possibly.
[19:35] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:35] <LTTC_Shar> ::ignores the Captain comment:: That's just it sir... Wait a 
minute.... Xanadu has just appeared there sir!
[19:35] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Lieutenant Shar's board goes a little nuts about a 
half-second later.
[19:35] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:36] <LTHL_D`rall> M> ::frowns:: I don't get it... what's this for?
[19:36] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::whips his head over to the holodisplay as a large 
indicator suddenly flashes into the system Coronado just left:: Xanadu has just 
translated into L036!
[19:36] <LTTC_Shar> Is it possible the Xur knew that Xanadu would be there?
[19:36] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> You holding up alright? Assuming the responsibilities of 
four posts can't be easy..
[19:36] <CPCO_Daren> Well... +taps+ Bridge to CIC, check your monitors, we have 
a new arrival...
[19:36] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:36] <MJBC_Prescot> ::blinks and rechecks his console, then the sensor data::  
Xanadu has just Beckman, something into the area!
[19:36] <ENsc_King> ::shakes his head in confusion::
[19:36] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= THEN things start to happen fast. That energy beam 
that Xanadu used to stabilize the last subspace disruption lances out...
[19:36] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:36] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::glances up, then glances between Ironside and 
Lora Kor::
[19:36] <[LCen_Farley]> ::smiles a little:: To be honest maam, I'm sort of 
enjoying it.
[19:37] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::taps quickly:: Another subspace distortion.  
Similar to the one we were trapped in and Panache closed.
[19:37] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::swallows::  I'd say we are seeing the third 
subspace disruption this year...
[19:37] <ENsc_King> ::sees the beam on his sensors:: What in the name of...
[19:37] <[LCen_Farley]> Why do you look down maam?
[19:37] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::monitor some teams at work::
[19:37] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= A moment later, it becomes very apparent that the 
Xur were waiting to ambush Xanadu. They open fire on the asteroid-starship a few 
seconds later.
[19:37] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:37] <LTHL_D`rall> M> ::looks up:: Did she put you up to this? I mean, this 
is a joke, right?
[19:37] <LTdr_Green> M> ::cocks an eyeborw and then turns back to his console:: 
Surgery was unsuccessful.  The patient succumbed to injuries sustained from a 
combination of vacuum exposure and proximity to an exploding Starfleet 
shuttlecraft
[19:37] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::nods:: The records on Xanadu indicated that the 
number of distortions appearing had been accelerating rapidly over the last few 
years.
[19:37] <LTHL_D`rall> M> That woman's had it in for me since day one.
[19:37] <LTTC_Shar> Confirmed Captain. The Xur were waiting for Xanadu. She's 
under attack.
[19:37] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> Xanadu is coming under attack!
[19:38] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Did you see that?!  They went right to it!
[19:38] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::stands up straight, almost falling over the 
process::  Za'neja!
[19:38] <LTHL_D`rall> M> You mean...
[19:38] <CPCO_Daren> ::steps closer to Shar:: Damn it...inform all ships in the 
area!
[19:38] <LTHL_D`rall> M> She's dead?
[19:38] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::smiles a bit in return:: Good, Glad to hear it. 
::turns as a quiet alert begins sounding on her console::
[19:38] <ENsc_King> ::looks over at Shar, then back at his console:: ((What have 
I gotten myself into?))
[19:38] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> How did they.....did the Xur create that 
distortion?
[19:38] <LTTC_Shar> On it Captain.... Thought from the looks of things they 
know... ::sends out the message::
[19:38] <LTHL_D`rall> M> ::looks in confusion at the message again::
[19:38] <CPCO_Daren> +taps+ Daren to Flag, Admiral ::pauses:: do we engage?
[19:38] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:38] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::starts to stand up as Torres reports their moving 
slowly past the outer edges of the fleet as Fox reports the Xur attacking 
Xanadu:: How the heck did Xanadu....Never mind. Torres contact the fleet. What 
are our orders?
[19:39] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  I think we can assume those Xur ships are under the 
posession of the Adversary.
[19:39] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> Whomever they are.
[19:39] <LTdr_Green> M> ::nods:: Quite a fighter, she was.  Her lungs were 
almost completely scorched away from the inside out.  But she wouldn't give up 
for as long as Reed let her remain conscious.  Her body was in amazing shape, 
and it fought almost as hard to help us repair it.
[19:39] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The message from Reorsan Fleet Command is 
anticlimactic to say the least. +com+ All vessels, be advised that Xanadu has 
translated! Attempting to determine new loc-- All ships, all ships, we are under 
attack!
[19:39] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

bring up the subspace network::
[19:40] <[LCen_Farley]> I need to get an engineer on the power changes.
[19:40] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Either the Xur created it, or they were in a 
position to take advantage of it.  +taps+ Bridge, from Flag!  Get in there!
[19:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:40] <CPCO_Daren> Bring us to Red Alert!  Power up all weapons systems and 
false-matter shielding...

status changes to  red .

[19:40] <LTHL_D`rall> M> ::lets out a sigh:: Stubborness apparently was her 
strong point. ::wry grimace:: I don't know whether to be happy that a nuisance 
is gone from my life or sad...
[19:40] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Commander Drexler, all ships available to intercept 
the Xur warships.
[19:40] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::turns back to Farley:: Would appear so. Make all your 
arrangements as soon as possible. I doubt we'll be staying here much longer.
[19:40] <CPCO_Daren> Helm, intercept course...prepare for Slipstream jump!
[19:40] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> +com+ Reorsan Fleet Command, be advised, Xanadu has 
translated to L036/37 and is under attack by subverted Xur vessels.  We require 
immediate backup.
[19:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:40] <[LCen_Farley]> +taps+ Ensign I need you to divert all torpedo system 
power to shields and phasers!
[19:40] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:41] <LTTC_Shar> Weapon systems at full power and false matter shields are up 
with recharge rates at full capacity sir. Regular shields are on standby if 
required.
[19:41] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> It's a pretty good bet that message came from Xanadu 
herself, Commander.
[19:41] <CPCO_Daren> +allcall+ All Senior Staff to their stations....All Senior 
Staff to their stations!
[19:41] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:41] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::hear the alert change and start Red alert protocol 
for engineers::

Xanadu and defend her.  Repeat...

it to Shar:: 
[19:41] <[LCen_Farley]> Yes maam. ::turns to leave the ready room and get in the 
drivers seat!::
[19:41] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Churchill and three other ships emerge from 
Xanadu's first chamber and go immediately to the asteroid-starship's defense.

[19:41] <LTHL_D`rall> ENhl_Kerman> ::Engages slipstream drive::
[19:41] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Coronado's slipstream drive activates; the frigate 
enters the conduit, and vanishes.
[19:41] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:42] <LTHL_D`rall> ENhl_Kerman> Time of arrival, 7 minutes.
[19:42] <LTdr_Green> M> I'd be sad.  She was a remarkable woman, well-versed in 
many conversational topics.  I believe that Dr. Reed also found her to be a 
rather good companion when he wanted a workout, but he was never too specific 
about that.
[19:42] <[LCen_Farley]> ::notices Coronado leaving on the screen gets in the 
seat and glances at the ships still left::
[19:42] <CPCO_Daren> Shar, get a good look at the area and start picking your 
targets now...get us someone to work with in there....
[19:42] <[LCen_Farley]> Maam?
[19:42] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::taps on a small subpanel on her desk, changing the 
Cerberus to Red Alert status, then stands and follows Farley out onto the 
bridge::
[19:42] <CPCO_Daren> How many Xur ships are we talking about here?

[19:42] <LTTC_Shar> ::runs over various attack patterns and stands ready:: 
Working on that already Captain.
[19:42] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::listens as the alert comes over the Fleet net:: 
Have Wraith 1 get a tractor lock on us see if she jump us both into slipstream. 
Have Wraith 2 destroy Wraith 4 immediately and follow us.

still recovering from a terrible illness.  ::smirks::  Do try to keep us in one 
piece, though.  
[19:43] <[LCen_Farley]> I see that wraith 4 is dead in space and not salvagable. 
Should we tractor it and use it as a very big torp?
[19:43] <LTHL_D`rall> M> ::hops off the biobed, still holding the padd:: 
Unfortunately I guess the sadness can wait. I'd better get to the bridge.... 
::finally puts two and two together:: And... make sure Doc Reed's gonna be 
alright, will you?

enter the system.

secondary batteries fire, which hammer the target square on, nearly sending it 
tumbling.
[19:55] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[19:55] <LTTC_Shar> Xanadu herself by the looks of things Sir.
[19:56] <MJBC_Prescot> If they destroy the third chamber and release those Omega 
particles we are more than likely done for
[19:56] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= It isn't enough. Xanadu breaks in half, obviously 
tearing herself apart from within, the lightning discharge of dying Omega 
particles visible to the naked eye.

[19:58] <[LTHL_Frakir]> ;)
[19:58] <RAGC_LoraKor> Turns out that part 1 of the Jjaro data was apparently 
Jaunt programming or something like it, because Coronado has just jumped about 
three hours into the past.
[19:59] <RAGC_LoraKor> As a result, both this fight and the first fight in 
L036/L037 haven't happened yet.  Coronado is undamaged and hasn't reached 
L036/L037 yet, Commander Tal is alive (sadly), and everyone retains the memories 
of what just happened.  ;)
[19:59] <BGDC_Ironside> What was the code? :-)
[19:59] <RAGC_LoraKor> As Aggie correctly points out, loop in the thread.  ;)  
Oh, and what Drexler transmitted was sensor logs of Xanadu's destruction.

[20:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Commander Drexler, marshal the fleet.  Let's have a 
surprise waiting for the Xur this time.  And have the Bridge scan for the 
subspace disruption.  Let's see if its detectable given that we know where it... 
where it will appear.
[20:09] <MJBC_Prescot> Ive got my finest men working on those charges as we 
speak...  they will be done soon
[20:09] <ENsc_King> *>::steps onto the turbolift:  Bridge
[20:09] <CPCO_Daren> Helm, hold position outside the system...
[20:09] <[LCen_Farley]> ::notices Coronado slowing down and does the same::
[20:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Seems only fitting that if the Xur are going to 
ambush Xanadu before she arrives, we can ambush them before they do.
[20:09] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Understood, though this time through we may not see 
the same things happen.
[20:09] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  If my instincts are correct, anyway.
[20:09] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> If there were any ships nearby able to respond I'm sure 
the flag would have ordered them in, already.
[20:10] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::begins drawing up the fleet positions on a map::
[20:10] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::shrugs very slightly::  We may as well do our best 
to see to it that they do.  We know the Xur will enter the system as soon as a 
team begins downloading the data.
[20:10] <LTHL_D`rall> ENhl_Kerman> ::engages impulse engines, angling the Coro 
towards the system but keeping her out for now::
[20:10] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= With a chirping sound from the Helm console, 
Coronado's impulse engines engage...
[20:10] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:10] <[LCen_Farley]> True maam, sorry thinking outloud again.
[20:10] <CRXO_Tal> Tactical, standby to transmit the passcode to the Jjaro 
installation.  ::blinks several times::  +taps+ Ironside, from Commander Tal.
[20:10] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Have more than four ships in the system... this t--  
::chuckles::  Now I see why time travel gives people headaches.  ::firmly::  
This time.

[20:10] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::opens up a communications console and relays the 
information on the situation and what's going to happen to Alicia in Xanadu, to 
see if she can prepare::
[20:10] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> +taps+ Ironside.
[20:10] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:10] <LTTC_Shar> Standing by Commander. ::enters the code and waits to 
trasmit::
[20:11] <CPCO_Daren> I've got the worst of all feelings that the Xur are going 
to remember what happens in the next few hours...and we may be up against ever 
stiffer resistance the second time...
[20:11] <LTHL_D`rall> SB> ::arrives in the shuttlebay, waiting::
[20:11] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::thinks:: Torres, have all Wraiths report in. No one 
is to do anything without my say so.  Diamond formation, full sensor sweep. We 
will maintain CAP over the Coronado...for now.

[20:11] <ENsc_King> ::steps off the tl and onto the bridge and spots Commander 
Tal:: Ma'am. Ensign King reporting for duty...again.
[20:11] <CRXO_Tal> +taps+ General, I hope you'll understand if I have no desire 
to lead a team over to the Jjaro facility.  I believe that you'll be best suited 
for that task once we enter the system.
[20:11] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:11] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Understood, Commander?
[20:11] <LCen_Skylooker> E> ::walk to a console and do a ship wide medium 
diagnostics not to take too much resources::
[20:12] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> +taps+ As was my plan, Commander.  I'll be in and 
out as quickly as the information can be retrieved -- just make sure we don't 
detonate the charges this time until we're clear of the field.
[20:12] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:12] <CRXO_Tal> ::holds up a finger at King, indicating that he should take 
his station and leave her alone::
[20:12] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  All right.  +com+  All ships, incoming coordinates 
for fleet maneuvers.  ::transmits::
[20:12] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:12] <ENsc_King> ::nods and moves towards the science station and logs 
in...again:: Let's try this again...
[20:12] <CRXO_Tal> ::winces at Ironside's order:: +taps+ I'll watch the 
detonation controls myself.
[20:12] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::chuckles:: and tell everyone not to attempt to get 
a tractor lock on any dilithium crystals.  Now lets get moving. Yellow alert.
[20:12] [CoroLCARS SOUND]

Captain.

[20:13] <[LCen_Farley]> +com+ Info recieved Coronado.
[20:13] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Good luck, everyone.  Make sure the Bridge 
understands that we don't download the data until we have more than four ships 
waiting for the Xur.
[20:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> I'll... hope to see you on the other side.  Wherever 
that is.
[20:13] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::has positioned most of the ships to head towards 
the area where the subspace distortion will appear, with Coronado at the Eye::
[20:13] <MJBC_Prescot> ::gets the green light from his men::  My sappers have 
the charges rigged, they are ready for transport whenever you need them 
Commander
[20:13] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> Or whenever. ::smirks::
[20:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Indeed.  ::turns on his heel and leaves the CIC, 
heading for a TL::
[20:13] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::glances at the admiral:: We'll have eight, if 
we're fast.
[20:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::as he leaves::  Have a dozen.  At least.  
Including Masada, if she's not busy somewhere else.
[20:14] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  I'm on it.  Rest well, Tebrun.
[20:14] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> Archangel as well, if she's within range.
[20:14] <ENsc_King> ::looks over his shoulder at Shar, then back to the console 
as he brings up the long-range sensor power::
[20:14] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::watches him enter the TL, his eyes hesitant to 
let the same thing happen to him::
[20:15] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::pulls up the fleet navigation data and looks it over::
[20:15] <[LCen_Farley]> Looks like we might go in well preped maam by this info 
we just got.
[20:15] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::watches as the fleet data arrives:: All right 
Torres, take us to our position. Upon our arrival change the squadron to red 
alert. Lets get the Xur as they arrive. 
[20:15] <CRXO_Tal> ::glances at her still-shaking hands and crosses her arms 
across her chest::
[20:15] <RAGC_LoraKor> ::enters TL::  Sickbay.
[20:15] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:15] <MJBC_Prescot> ::thinks it over::  Captain has the Fleet staff given out 
were we are to hit the Xur?
[20:16] <CPCO_Daren> ::glanes at Tal:: Commander?
[20:16] <LTHL_D`rall> SB> ...should have been here. ::smacks forehead:: Don't 
need to send a team this time to investigate, we know what's down there. 
::feeling a little stupid, puts the Diana back on standby and exits the 
shuttle::
[20:16] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::without looking up:: Don't forget that the Xur may 
have the same information.
[20:16] <CRXO_Tal> Nothing, sir.  Just a little cold, that's all.
[20:16] <CPCO_Daren> We...are staying right here Major.  Dealing with the Xur 
will be for other ships in the fleet, and hopefully unlike last time, we won't 
see much of them...
[20:17] <[LCen_Farley]> Very ture maam, but it does feel better to know a little 
of what might happen and be able to plan ahead for it.
[20:17] <CPCO_Daren> ::rolls an eye at Tal, knowing she is obviously hiding 
something from him...makes a mental note that should Tal die again, no more 
former Intelligence officers as XO::
[20:17] <LTTC_Shar>  hope you're right on that Captain. If they retain their 
memories like we did they could be expanding on their plans.
[20:17] <MJBC_Prescot> ::frowns::  wny dont we instruct our ships to fire on 
them now...  we know were they are staging at
[20:17] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::gets a tricorder and relay between it and Coro's 
computer set up for when he enters the tower to download the information::
[20:18] <MJBC_Prescot> and if we have more ships we can destroy more of their 
ships before they go active
[20:18] <LTHL_D`rall> ::arrives on the bridge, seeing Commander Tal and wincing 
inwardly::
[20:18] <ENsc_King> ::sighs as he realizes he has to start the scans all over 
again:: (m)But this time I know where to start...
[20:18] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  You want me to go, Jeremy?
[20:19] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> :;watches as they reach their positions. Klaxons 
sound and the lights turn to a dull blinking red:: Arm all weapons. Have all 
Wraiths move to a spread formation. We will concentrate fire on one Xur vessel 
at a time. 
[20:19] <CRXO_Tal> ::swallows hard and makes her way very slowly towards her 
station::
[20:19] <CPCO_Daren> ::shrugs:: Not my job, Major.  ::moves closer to the 
Command station:: +taps+ Daren to SIckbay, has the Admiral arrived?
[20:19] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:19] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::shakes his head:: I can get in and out with 
minimal fuss.
[20:19] <LTHL_D`rall> ::as she makes her way towards the helm to relieve Kerman, 
almost bumps into Tal ::
[20:19] <MJBC_Prescot> ::grunts::  +Taps+  Prescot to CIC
[20:19] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::muses::  I bet we have to do this a third time.
[20:19] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:19] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> It will avoid you the pain of the transporter - as 
I recall, using it within the false matter field caused much discomfort to the 
away team.
[20:20] <RAGC_LoraKor> M> +taps+ I have, Commander.  Proceed when ready.  Good 
luck.
[20:20] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:20] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Discomfort is something I can deal with.
[20:20] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  +taps+  Drexler here, Major.
[20:20] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:20] <MJBC_Prescot> Sir.  Is Captain Daren correct in saying that we will be 
waiting for the Xur here?  Only with more ships this time?
[20:20] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::smirks:: Well, it saves you having to go down to 
the transporter room.
[20:20] <MJBC_Prescot> << dammit, throw a +taps+ on that>>
[20:20] <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> ::leans back in his chair trying to relax:: Fox, call 
out the instant your sensors pick up anything.  
[20:20] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:20] <LTHL_D`rall> Commander... ::in a sweet voice that's GOT to be false 
sincerity:: Glad to see the rumors of your death were greatly exaggerated. 
::Maiko evil grin as she slips by the Commander and relieves Kerman at the 
helm::
[20:21] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC>  ::checks the location of the Admiral on the 
internal sensors::
[20:21] <CPCO_Daren> ::nods:: Alright, helm take us into the system... +taps+ 
Bridge to CIC, we're entering the system, the Admiral has reached 
Sickbay...standby to transmit the password at your discretion...
[20:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:21] <CRXO_Tal> Helm, low-power mode.  Take us in at full impulse until we 
hit the cloud's edge.  Reduce speed to one third at that point.
[20:21] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> +taps+ Roger that, bridge.
[20:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:21] <LTTC_Shar> I"m ready to transmit as needed Captain.
[20:21] <[LCen_Farley]> ::follows Coronado::
[20:21] <MJBC_Prescot> +Taps+  would it not be wiser to simply take more ships 
to the Xur staging area and attack them while they are unresponsive?
[20:21] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:21] <LTHL_D`rall> ::logs into the helm system and sets course and speed::
[20:22] <LTHL_D`rall> ::engages impulse engines at full, hand ready for

Coronado's impulse engines engage...
[20:22] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:22] <MJBC_Prescot> +Taps+  then simply pull back when the time for Xanadu's 
transmission draws near
[20:22] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:22] <CRS1_Drexler> +taps+  We can't be sure this time will be the same, 
major.  It's best to let everything play out.
[20:22] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:22] <ENsc_King> ::boosts power to sensors again:: (m) I hope this works...
[20:22] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::pulls up the internal schematic of the tower, the 
control room in particular, and compares it to the visual image from outside::

[20:22] <MJBC_Prescot> ::grunts::  +taps+  my apologies for disturbing you...  I 
hate temporal mechanics

[20:22] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::punches in the passcode - "Exodus Gate" - and

[20:23] <CPCO_Daren> ::crosses his legs in the command chair, feeling a bit more 
confident...this time around::
[20:23] <[LCen_Farley]> We've entered the system maam.
[20:23] <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The system is obviously unchanged, and the 
transmission of the code phrase gives an immediate response: a cone of false 
matter shielding begins to form.
[20:23] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:23] <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::nods to Drexler:: I seem to have an unparallelled

[20:24] <RAGC_LoraKor> Green> +taps+ Sickbay to Bridge... the Admiral is 
unconscious.

[20:24] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> Phasers, unless a particularly nice target comes along. 
Ohh, and engage the cloak.

sight of the Jjaro facility:: - three hundred meters from the control room.
[20:26] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  +taps+  Sickbay, I need someone here to monitor 
General Ironside.  Quickly.
[20:26] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:26] <[LCen_Farley]> Were in place maam.

[20:52] <CPCO_Daren> Commader Tal, I'm going to ask that for the moment you 
refrain from using any computer consoles or giving any orders.  We'll get to the 
bottom of this...
[20:52] <Savant> CIC> i'm going to maim that weapons officer. . .
[20:52] <LTTC_Shar> Captain recommend we order Cerberus to stop helping sir!

off Coro, flinging false matter torpedoes into the carriers and swatting 
fighters right and left. With more ships, the fight is much more even.
