Que Paso" Texas Tornadoes. [19:02] Any music without lyrics that would be the right mood? [19:03] yeah, "we've got to get out of this place," instrumental version [19:03] Halo's always good ;) [19:03] OK, let's get going. [19:03] * Jester is now known as Tebrun_LoraKor [19:03] Seriously. The dress was something I just scrolled through a site, said "That kinda looks Maikoish to me", and gave it a slightly sluttier description to match [19:03] Commodore, whenever you're ready. [19:03] mmm sluttier is good! [19:04] not on Dennis, Farley [19:04] Though I suppose the better term is "Theiss Titilation Theory."

We'll see how it goes. At this point, everyone (IC) has been "offered jobs" with the new Alliance military. For the most part, they're the same jobs you held before. For a few of you here and there, the offered jobs are slightly different. [19:06] As a result, Coronado currently most resembles a British ship circa the Napoleonic Wars, when qualified Captains had to scrounge, beg, borrow, and steal the officers and crew they wanted. ;) [19:06] ::grins at Daren:: [19:06] The briefing is pretty basic... [19:06] =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it... [19:06] Stardate 240406.07: "Separation Anxiety", Part 1, by Jester. [19:06] SUMMARY: The clock is ticking. [19:07] Coronado has been recalled to Reor'sa under VERY unusual circumstances. Nine of the civilian government leaders in M64 have banded together to form a defensive and trade alliance. These leaders have called upon the Starfleet personnel and ships to return to Reor'sa. [19:07] Ships that follow this directive will be turned over to the newly-forming Alliance government, which apparently plans to place them in the charge of a new, combined Alliance military under civilian control. Starfleet ships that refuse the directive have been ordered out of "Alliance" space... [19:07] Commodore Daren initially stated his intent that Coronado remain a Federation Starfleet vessel and find a way to return to the Milky Way. He has since reconsidered, and has allowed Coronado to be incorporated into the new Alliance military. "Jobs" -- mostly the existing jobs -- have been offered to all aboard... [19:07] Briefing complete. [19:07] * Velorna_Tal acknowledges with a grunt. [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:07] ack [19:08] Now, Commodore Daren has been told informally that his mission is to get Coronado back into the nebula and pin down where the anomaly is going to form. A number of other ships have received the same or similar orders, with various search areas. [19:08] Good thing we came home, then. :-p [19:09] For the moment, rules of engagement are avoid or distract Xur forces in the region rather than engaging them, mostly because the Defender forces will initially be outnumbered. [19:09] Look at it this way: at least now it's a priority project instead of a one-ship show. ;) [19:09] Any questions before we get rolling? [19:09] ::raises:: [19:09] ::raises:: [19:10] Commander Farley? [19:10] Are there any Starfleet ships that didn't join? And where are they? [19:11] Chappy Morgan and Swiftsure are currently the only hold-outs. About half of her crew has indicated that they will find whatever means they can to return to the Milky Way. Swiftsure is currently in Reor'sa orbit. Crew members from other Starfleet ships that feel the same are booking passage to get aboard her. [19:12] Mr. Canterbury? [19:12] Is there anything saying that we have to take the jobs that were offered, or can we opt to do Our Own Thing(TM)? [19:12] sim alone? :) [19:12] Also do I keep my job? [19:12] Commodore: Kinda, yes... more like character development. [19:12] You can definitely do Your Own Thing(tm), but unless you wish your characters to become an NPC, that thing should be something reasonably close to Penthia, Xanadu, or Coronado. [19:13] And I assume Commodore Daren offers you your old job, Commander Farley. Whether you take it or hold out for a better offer is up to you. ;) [19:13] Captain Bentall there might need an XO, for instance. ;) [19:13] * Jacob_Prescot is now known as CLBC_Prescot [19:13] ::Thinks of the captain's chair being a little better job offer:: lol [19:14] Right. No other questions? [19:14] ::raises again:: [19:14] ::raises:: [19:14] Mr. Canterbury? [19:14] Where, situationally, are Penthia and Xanadu? Or Coronado, for that matter. [19:15] (Sorry. =P) [19:15] Penthia is on the far "western" edge of "known space", near what used to be Pfhor Hegemony holdings. Xanadu is on the far "eastern" edge of "known space", about 80 light-years east of Reor'sa in a Pfhor Cooperative-controlled system. [19:15] Coronado is currently in Reor'sa orbit, right between these two locations. [19:15] http://www.jestertrek.com/m64/images/supermap-l.gif [19:15] * Natty (~trekkiemo@adsl-69-108-13-179.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net) has left #uss-coronado [19:15] Blackrazor is with Xanadu for anyone who's interested. :) [19:16] If you find Arrakis on the northern edge, and then go to the right, you'll run into a larger-than-normal yellow star. That isn't where Xanadu is, but it's somewhere in that sector. [19:16] I hadn't decided which star specifically. ;) [19:17] Lieutenant Somansky? [19:17] Does the Alliance have Marines? Or are we all sailors now? [19:17] The Alliance definitely has Marines, and said Marines are holding their breath to see if General Ironside takes overall command, or declines the job offer. [19:17] So, for the moment, Marine leadership is in a bit of flux until this gets pinned down. [19:18] ::nods:: [19:18] Any other questions? [19:18] Right. Let's sim. :) [19:18] =.\= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SIM START =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =.\= [19:18] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:19] * LCDR_Kennedy is now known as ENdr_Radchik [19:19] =.\ction= One by one, the capital ships in orbit of Reor'sa are heading out, most of them to the "northwest" as they leave the Reor system.

[19:45] =.\ction= These Banshees are a bit different from the standard model. Banshees have always been a little ungainly, with extended arms in front of a tucked-in cockpit. As these head for the hangar, the arms fold inward, a bit like old Earth fighter planes. [19:45] Q> I was hoping Daren would have gotten back to me by now on my job or lack of one, by now. [19:45] Q> ::wonder:: I just hope that we will stay on Coro. [19:45] Q> Me too. [19:45] *> ::grins at Prentiss:: You can tell you're not from around these parts. [19:46] +com+ I already accepted the position sir. My superior asked for me back a few hours ago. With General Ironside not having taken his position yet, the Colonel wanted me to staff Coronado's Marine position with someone that the men know, to hope keep men from leaving. I am already onboard the ship sir.

[19:47] Q> Can do [19:48] Reorsa> Small, quick deliveries. Yeah, I could probably handle that. ::tilts his head subtly:: I didn't know there was much of a market for that in M64. Known space is pretty small, isn't it? [19:48] Q> It will be hard to do that in the first 2-6 days of our new jobs as they will be watching us. At the 2nd, 3rd week.. we will be able to do that easyly.

[19:49] *> ::looks a bit sheepish:: Oh. Right. Guess I'm used to living on starships? [19:50] =.\ction= The Banshees enter a nearby hangar, still in formation, still folded in half. The noise is incredible for a few moments, and drowns out what the deck officer is saying. <<;)>> [19:50] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:50] Q> ::nods:: Mind if I wait for the job opportunaty with you? I have nothing else to do. [19:50] *> ::Raises an eyebrow:: These Reorsan Marines work quickly. I like that.

[19:55] *> ::stands as the shuttle lands in coro's docking bay, and exits the ship:: [19:55] Q> ::nods:: Great ::smile:: I was hoping soo much to see that. Well, I guess my quarters might change then.
