[19:07] <RAGC_LoraKor> 'evening, everyone, and welcome!  :)  As I said in last 
week's sim report, after 7 parts, hopefully you can now see where the exit to 
the maze is.  The trick now is getting there without getting anyone dead.  Let's 
see if you manage.  ;)
[19:07] <RAGC_LoraKor> The briefing, as you can imagine, is still quite 
repetitive (for that reason, I'll be happy when this arc is concluded, assuming 
it ever is  ;) ).
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it...
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> Stardate 240309.08: "Archangel", Part 2, by Jester.
[19:07] <CoroLCARS> SUMMARY: Conflicting goals.  Complementary goals.
[19:07] <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.
[19:07] <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.
[19:07] <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...
[19:08] <CoroLCARS> Briefing complete.

[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> When last we left, main life support on the Bridge had 
been shut down, and Commander Tal had the Captain hostage in his Ready Room.  
She has two demans:
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> Demands.
[19:09] <RAGC_LoraKor> 1) That a course be set for the L036/L037 system (which 
will take abou 100 minutes at slipstream).
[19:09] <{LCen_Farley}> only 2 demons!
[19:10] <RAGC_LoraKor> 2) That any attempt to ignore her demands, capture her, 
or retake the ship would result in a very quick death for Captain Daren.  ;)
[19:10] * Peter (~pmello@66.42.7.191) has joined #uss-coronado
[19:10] <RAGC_LoraKor> When we left, Prescot had decided in true Camelynian 
fashion to shoot the hostage, and therefore, only about 30 seconds has passed 
since last sim.
[19:10] <[]LTHL_D`rall[]> And this would be bad... how? Oh, sorry Cap'n, didn't 
see you there...
[19:10] <{LCen_Farley}> ::raises::
[19:11] <RAGC_LoraKor> Those that require life support have 10-ish minutes to 
clear the Bridge/CIC complex, though presumably Tal will take any delays at 
least somewhat badly.
[19:11] <RAGC_LoraKor> Commander Farley, a question?
[19:11] <{LCen_Farley}> There on deck 9 correct?
[19:11] <RAGC_LoraKor> Yep.

[19:12] <RAGC_LoraKor> Lovely question.  How close were the Raptors staying to 
Coro last week?
[19:13] <CLSL_Wayne> no idea :)
[19:13] <RAGC_LoraKor> Well, make a choice, or I've got a nice obsidian six-
sider here that will choose for you.
[19:14] <[Savant]> roll the die o_o
[19:14] <LCdr_Dyson> ::snickers at attn::
[19:14] <{LCen_Farley}> die roll
[19:14] <RAGC_LoraKor> I've rolled.  Want my roll or want to choose?
[19:14] <CLSL_Wayne> in the neighborhood of Coro :)
[19:14] <{LCen_Farley}> take the roll
[19:15] <CLSL_Wayne> no way - Jester's die are loaded
[19:15] <RAGC_LoraKor> In the neighborhood of Coro it is.  When Coro vanished as 
part of last week's festivities, the Raptors were close enough (perhaps docked, 
refueling) to be caught in the effect as well.
[19:15] <RAGC_LoraKor> The Raptors are therefore in close proximity to Coro, and 
close proximity to Xanadu in the J043 system.
[19:15] <RAGC_LoraKor> Any other questions?
[19:15] <CPCO_Daren> Can we not use the word 'die' anymore, please?  Thank you.

just us?

something that's surprised the hell out of me.
[19:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> Feel free to check it this week.
[19:17] <RAGC_LoraKor> Coro is 100 minutes from L036/L037 and Cerberus if she 
decides to move.
[19:17] <CRDR_Reed> We haven't checked that?
[19:17] <CRDR_Reed> o_O  
[19:17] <[Savant]> O_o
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> Cerberus is slightly faster to J043 (lower mass, slightly 
more efficient drive).
[19:18] <[]LTHL_D`rall[]> At what speed?
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> 100 minutes at slipstream.
[19:18] <RAGC_LoraKor> You haven't checked, but there are a couple of VERY large 
clues that nobody's picked up on.
[19:19] * LoudMouth (James@64-252-69-25.adsl.snet.net) has left #uss-coronado
[19:19] <{CRco_Ma`Aru}> Cerb and the other three with her are actually heading 
towards Reorsa at present, for lack of a better place to go
[19:19] * CLSL_Wayne is now known as [CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]
[19:19] <RAGC_LoraKor> Alrighty, though that's a trip of some length as well.  
Also, you currently do have orders to blockade L036/L037 and prevent any ships 
from entering.
[19:19] <RAGC_LoraKor> You're all checks/balances on each other, in effect.
[19:21] <RAGC_LoraKor> No other questions?

simply loop the thread once we've uncovered some sort of knowledge from Xanadu 
while we are here.
[19:45] <{LCen_Farley}> Maam, it's bad over there. Decks 8 through 10 are badly 
damaged and emergency forcefields are in place for now.

[19:49] <[Savant]> Mr Prescot initiated a power shutdown on decks 6 through 12 
of the ship to cancel out Tal's forcefields, and then attempted to engage her 
with his false matter sword. Tal killed Captain Daren, and was in turn killed by 
PRescot. Her death triggered the explosion which destroyed the command complex 
of the ship.

this, you hear?
[20:33] <{CRco_Ma`Aru}> Anyway, Farley, as soon as you get back, and in the next 
itteration, I'm going to have to confine you to your quarters for a while. Do 
understand that it's for your safety.
[20:33] <|RAGC_LoraKor|> I believe, however, that we can successfully navigate 
the next loop.  And they are not Aldur's officers to make that choice for.  
They're my officers.

[20:54] [CoroLCARS SOUND]
[20:54] <[BGDC_Ironside]> So what is the right code then?
[20:54] <|RAGC_LoraKor|> Hell, maybe anything causes a loop.  I still think it's 
very possible the Eye is a giant trap.  Laid for us.
[20:54] <[BGDC_Ironside]> The destruction of Xanadu was the first code we 
entered.

hoping it's reasonably obvious now.
[21:02] <|RAGC_LoraKor|> The Aeon keep saying they can't intervene on this 
thread, because it belongs to their Adversary.
[21:03] <|RAGC_LoraKor|> Hopefully, it's now reasonably obvious that the reason 
for that is every Aeon has an Aentropie counterpart, and only one can be active 
on a thread at a given "time."  ;)
[21:03] <|RAGC_LoraKor|> ie, if there's an Aeon nearby, there can't be an 
Aentropie nearby, and vice versa.
[21:03] <|RAGC_LoraKor|> That'll give you something to chew on until next week.

[21:13] <Fraser> But does accessing the data mean the Aeon and Aeontropie get a

[21:13] <McC> And the cable box/fan thing is a temporary measure...maybe.  They

[21:15] <Brad> lol.
[21:15] <Kari> TD TB =)
[21:15] <Jester> Also, you don't seem to have sent your resignation to Announce, 
so Leia's e-mail about it is the first one I saw.
[21:15] <Kari> 10-0 with 3:30 in the 3rd
[21:17] <Fraser> And how the heck are we going to destroy Xanadu when it's used 
in the Odyssey next year? ;-)
[21:17] <Brad> Why are we going to destroy Xanadu?
[21:18] <Aggie> "Marty!  You're not thinking 4th dimensionally!"
[21:18] <Chris`> oh just go watch the Firefly pilot already! :) 
[21:18] <Savant> cause Aldur said so
[21:18] <Brad> We need to stop just blindly doing what we're told.
[21:18] <Maiko> ::nods::
[21:18] <Brad> We don't know who Aldur works for.  ;)
[21:18] <Fraser> The guys opposite of Smith. ;-)
[21:18] <Kari> ohh, we confirmed LoraKor's theory that you can plug anything 
into the data and get a loop
[21:18] <Aggie> I stopped blindly doing what I was told a long time ago.  I tend 
to wind up dead.
[21:18] <Maiko> It's pretty clear that one side's goal is to destroy Xanadu, the 
others is to preserve, and we have to find a stance down the middle :)
[21:18] <Jester>  17   And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
[21:18] <Jester>  18   As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
[21:18] <Jester>  19   A mighty fountain momently was forced:
[21:18] <Brad> ...whom we don't know the same.  ;)
[21:18] <Maiko> Aggie, no-one told you to jump Smith off Coro ;)
[21:18] <Jester>  20   Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
[21:18] <Jester>  21   Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
[21:18] <Jester>  22   Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
[21:18] <Jester>  23   And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
[21:18] <Jester>  24   It flung up momently the sacred river.
[21:18] <Jester> :)
[21:19] <Aggie> I wasn't talking about Smith.
[21:19] <Obs_Santiago> is that what i think it is?
[21:19] <Jester> It's almost a prophecy.  ;)  I figure that Coleridge saw the 
future while he was on opium.  ;)
[21:19] <Aggie> it's Xanadu, Santi
[21:19] <Savant> a lot of people would claim that
[21:20] <Brad> We have one avatar telling us one thing.  Another with a 
different story.
[21:20] <Obs_Santiago> yay for Coleridge! I didn't even have to go get my book 
of his poetry to check
