 Hi all.  Only one note this week: I wanted to take a moment to ask everyone
 to please send an e-mail to Tinky wishing him a speedy recovery after a
 serious car accident he was involved in before last week's sim.  Tinky can
 be reached via e-mail at tinky_2001@yahoo.com.  Having been in a bad car
 accident myself, I know exactly what he's going through at this moment.

 Get well soon, Tinky, and come back to us when you can!  :-)

 Promotions:
    Zunite Oswald, from Ensign to Lieutenant (JG)
    Last promotion date: 03-Jul-00, 6 sims
       Miss Oswald has held a variety of positions aboard ship, but all of
       them have centered on repairing that which was broken.  A quiet,
       competent presence on Coro, Lieutenant Oswald is someone who can be
       counted on in a crisis.  Keep up the good work!  :-)

 Recognitions:
    None this week.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.

 Exchange of the Week: Wonder what it takes to give a Marine the creeps?
 <[CRXO_Bentall]> ::stomps over to the wall and peers at it closer:: 
 Major? Is it just me or is this placing giving you the creeps?
 <[MJMC_Ironside]> I don't believe I get the 'creeps', 
 Commander...::lightly propelling himself back towards Bentall, his zero-g 
 training keeping every move calculated and graceful.  His rifle remains
 braced under his arm, facing forwards::
 <[CRXO_Bentall]> ::looks back at Ironside:: Not even from Captain Swift?
 <[CRXO_Bentall]> ::doesn't wait for an answer and looks back at the 
 alien bodies:: Odd looking species.
 <[MJMC_Ironside]> ::simply looks back at Bentall, deadpan.  Although his 
 polarized faceplate hides his features, the meaning is obvious::

 Exchange of the Week, bonus edition: In Dalton-speak, "Ick" means hello,
    and scanning you for valuables is his way of asking "How are you doing?"
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Dalton gets the first view of a "local" -- floats 
 into one in fact. It is the body of something that looks sealion-ish. It
 has clearly been dead for a long time, but it is perfectly preserved.
 <[LTDR_Dalton]> ::makes a face:: Ick.
 <[LTTC_Daren]> ::hears the comm:: Ick?
 <[LTDR_Dalton]> ::scans it for anything valuable::

 Sim Title: "The Derelict", Part 1

 Having completed our testing cycle, the U.S.S. Coronado was ordered to
 proceed to Starbase 742 for reassignment.  This is a trip of some several
 thousand lightyears to the "south" of our previous position.  Fortunately,
 thanks to our slipstream drive, this is only a trip of about three weeks in
 duration.  Once we arrive at Starbase 742, it is likely that we will be
 assigned to the investigation of the increased Killer activity that is
 being reported in that region of the galaxy in recent weeks.

 In the meantime, though, our long cruise south was about a week old when we
 encounted a ship, adrift near our course.  The ship was a derelict, slowly
 drifting through normal space and running without power or life.  It is
 unlikely that a ship without our LORASON sensor array would have detected
 it as a ship at all, but more likely as some random floating meteorite.
 Approaching the ship, we found it was approximately 1800 meters long and
 200 meters wide: a giant compared to Coronado or nearly any Starfleet
 design.  However, the ship was obviously the product of a technologically
 somewhat primitive race, mounting ion drives and normal space missiles.
 The interior of the ship was breached by multiple hull fractures, including
 one that tore out nearly one quarter section of the forward hull.  The ship
 detected as thousands... perhaps tens of thousands of years old.  Captain
 Lora Kor elected to send an away team over to explore the relic.

 Commander Bentall led the Away Team, consisting of Major Ironside,
 Lieutenants Daren and Dalton, and Ensign Oswald, to the derelict.  Inside,
 the found the crew, nearly perfectly preserved, and made up of an unknown
 race reminiscent of Earth sealions.  The ship was clearly designed for both
 the underwater and zero-gravity environment.  However, with the water that
 previously filled the hull vented to space and the ship open to vacuum, the
 bodies of the crew were perfectly preserved, as was an astonishing array of
 artifacts, ranging from PADD-like information devices to the jewelry worn
 by virtually every member of the crew.  The hull and internal material,
 which initially scanned as a metal, is clearly made up of some other
 material, as no rust whatsoever was in evidence and sensor scans of the
 material are inconclusive.  Further exploration of the derelict will
 continue for some days; Starbase 742 has been informed of the delay.
