[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> Gentlemen, as you are aware, there are three levels of 
the Starfleet Service Medal as awarded on Coronado.  The base level is awarded 
after 50 points, the Bronze Cluster is awarded at 150 points, and the Silver 
Cluster is awarded at 250 points.
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> I'm pleased to report that both of you have surpassed the 
150 point level and as a result, have qualified for the Starfleet Service Medal 
with Bronze Cluster.
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> Congratulations!  :)

150 points over the course of about 75 sims.  You, however, have managed it in 
40.  I therefore also recognize you with the Starfleet Service Medal with Bronze

450, and General Ironside next week should collect his 500th point.
[19:16] <LCdr_Dyson> ::raises a brow::
[19:16] <RAGC_LoraKor> There are yet milestones ahead of you.  ;)
[19:16] <LCdr_Dyson> (m) Oh brother
[19:16] <RAGC_LoraKor> With that said, here's this week's briefing.
[19:16] <CoroLCARS> =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it...
[19:16] <LTTC_Shar> Are my 150 just with Shar?
[19:16] <CoroLCARS> Stardate 240308.11: "The Fire Within", Part 1, by Jester.
[19:16] <CoroLCARS> SUMMARY: Allies and enemies.
[19:16] <Savant> ack... already read it ^_^
[19:16] <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.
[19:16] <LTTC_Shar> <whoops...>>
[19:16] <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.  This artifact has initiated a number of mysterious events.
[19:16] <CoroLCARS> Notably, we downloaded a large block of data from it, only 
to find that at least some of this data caused a "loop" in time, sending 
Coronado and the ships around her several hours into the past.  This allowed us 
to correct some mistakes, but some events keep repeating themselves...
[19:16] <LCen_Skylooker> ::thinks that he could of been equal to Farley if he 
haven't miss that much...::
[19:16] <CoroLCARS> Briefing complete.
[19:16] * CRXO_Tal acknowledges with a crisp salute.
[19:16] <MJBC_Prescot> ack
[19:16] <ENtc_Canterbury> ack

[19:17] <[LCen_Farley]> ack
[19:17] <LTtc_Marist> ack
[19:17] <LTTC_Shar> ack
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> I realize that the last couple of weeks have been pretty 
complex, and I hope that things will feel more tied up (you will forgive the pun) 
over the next few weeks.
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> In the meantime, any questions?
[19:18] <BGDC_Ironside> Has Xanadu jumped to the system yet?
[19:18] <CRS1_Drexler> ::raises hand::
[19:18] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::raise::
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> Not as yet, though it took about an hour "last time."
[19:19] <RAGC_LoraKor> Commander Drexler?
[19:19] <CRS1_Drexler> How long since last sim IC?
[19:19] <RAGC_LoraKor> Probably not much more than a few minutes, what with the 
fight on the Bridge and all.
[19:19] <RAGC_LoraKor> Commander Ma'Aru?
[19:19] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> then all the defender forces are still fleeing from 
36/37 at warp?
[19:20] <RAGC_LoraKor> Almost certainly, yes, though at various speeds from warp 
to slipstream to transwarp, as per each ship's capabilities and damage.
[19:20] <ENtc_Canterbury> ::blinks and goes to read the logs::
[19:20] <[CRco_Ma`Aru]> ::nods::
[19:20] <RAGC_LoraKor> Any other questions?
[19:20] * CPCO_Daren sets mode: +v Boyd
[19:21] <RAGC_LoraKor> While you think about it, be advised that my connection 
has been slightly iffy over the last hour.  If I get disconnected, keep 
going.  ;)
[19:21] <RAGC_LoraKor> I'm usually able to return within a few seconds.

Alana will be switching characters this week, to Lieutenant Ariana Marist, who 
joins us at Tactical.
[19:22] <[LCen_Farley]> Aggie wants to come back as a cat this time!
[19:23] <[LCen_Farley]> Hello!
[19:23] <RAGC_LoraKor> I'd say Lieutenant D'rall would specify that she'd come 
back as a female dog.

The general is quite difficult to kill.

in and would like to report for duty

thoroughly this time.

[19:46] <LTdr_Green> M> You have suffered a major trauma - loss of a major 
sensory organ - and you have lost a lot of blood.  You're lucky that the shock 
and pain of the event did not kill you outright.  They would have done so to a 
lesser Andorian, I am convinced.
[19:47] <ENtc_Canterbury> Sir, the Xur ships are preparing an ambush, and 
picking up their fighters as they go.
[19:47] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::glances over::  Has he said anything?

[19:47] <Savant> CIC> He's hungry. And he wants to know what's happened since

[19:52] <RAGC_LoraKor> M> Did we receive new medical equipment pursuant to the 
treatment of burns?
[19:52] <LTdr_Green> M> Lieutenant, you are in no shape to do anything.  However, 
I must begin the autopsy on Commander Tal - ::glances at the green mess over on 
biobed 5:: - perhaps you could give me your account of events?

gave me a brief runndown when everyone started piling in.  But I need to know

[20:21] <Savant> CIC> I don't know, Tebrun.
[20:21] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  It almost seems like a lure.

[20:22] <ENtc_Canterbury> ::looks to the Captain:: Sir, the Xur ships are moving 
away from the tear!
[20:22] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  Perhaps the Adversary creates tears purposely.
[20:22] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> There are lures, and there are lures.  You can 
describe the dilithium asteroid field as something designed to lure us into this 
system.

L036/37 system::
[20:23] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::nods::  And maybe the Xur wanted Xanadu in this 
system... or maybe Xanadu's arrival is completely coincidental, related to the 
existence of the tear.  Maybe the Xur don't want Xanadu here at all.
[20:23] <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  A subspace distortion of this kind would certain 
trigger a response from Xanadu, and knowing that, the Adversary would be able to 
ambush Xanadu, just as we witnessed before.

dilithium field?
[20:26] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Commander Savant, is Alicia willing to take Xanadu 
in if she has our support?
[20:26] <ENtc_Canterbury> Sir, astrometric sensors aren't picking up anything, 
but tactical sensors are showing the tear to be growing exponentially.

[20:38] <Savant> CIC> Xanadu is within.... four light years of the system now.

[20:38] <Savant> CIC> ::With laborious slowness, Savant displays the feed from

hundred million kilometers from what is obviously an enormous tear... at least 
three light-years in diameter, it has enveloped the entire system. And it is 
obviously still growing as you watch.

into a deep slumber::
[20:44] <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Obviously, Xanadu remaining clear of the system is... 
not the correct course of action.  The system is an enormous trap, probably 
originally built by this adversary of theirs.

[20:44] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:45] <Savant> CIC> The answer. . . it must be. . . something else.

Xanadu at best speed.

[21:02] <Masters> Nite CCC
[21:02] * CCC (CCC@host-64-179-86-100.man.choiceone.net) Quit (Quit: )
[21:02] <Aggie> I must have missed the part where Savant came over with my team.
[21:02] <Savant> apparently ^_-
[21:03] <Obs_Santiago> poor squishy Savant.
[21:03] <Aggie> because we had Oswald, Prescot, and Tal, and some random Marine 
last I saw
[21:03] <Spuzzum> Hrm.  I have enough grease on my face to supply McDonalds for 
a decade.  ...Assuming they still used animal fat, anyway.
[21:03] <Savant> uh... go wash your face?
[21:04] <Obs_Santiago> dude... that's not cool.
[21:04] <Spuzzum> I was thinking more of a shower, actually.
[21:04] <Savant> even better
[21:05] <Spuzzum> But first, there's a warm salad that's been sitting on my desk 
for two hours that needs to be finished off.
[21:05] * RAGC_LoraKor is now known as Jester
[21:05] <Jester> So, comments?  Impressions?  Too much?  Too complex?  Go back 
to straightforward Pfhor combat and the like?  ;)
[21:05] <Savant> i like this sort of stuff
[21:05] <Obs_Santiago> supergreen!
[21:05] <Spuzzum> Ditto.
[21:05] <Fraser> Been waiting for something like this for a while.
[21:06] <Aggie> ::nods:: Been a while since we had a good, complicated arc like 
this.
[21:06] <Fraser> Love the thread stuff.  The alternate universe thing was one of 
my favourite sims ever.
[21:06] <Savant> oh, same with me, i had a riot with that one
[21:06] <Fraser> Kind of like "The Inner Light" in terms of legendary 
qualities. ;-)
[21:06] <Jester> OK, great.  :)  As I said, this is essentially part 4 of 9, 
then I'll downshift for the holidays.
