 Notes from the Captain:

 Have I mentioned how much I enjoy August?  ;)  'twill be a fine, fine day
 when everyone gets back from vacation and we can settle into some serious
 simming for the fall.  :)

 However, welcome to Whiilain, who joined the crew this week!  Nominally
 part of the Intel/Science staff, I suspect Whiilain will be a sort of
 utility infielder until the anniversary sims start in late August.  ;)
 Welcome aboard, Whiilain!

 Unfortunately, NickC, aka 1st Lieutenant Nick Curcio, has told me that he
 needs to ("temporarily or indefinitely") retire his character due to lack of
 time to participate in the Coro.  :/  We will miss you, Nick!  Please come
 back to us as soon as you can!

 Promotions:
    None this week, but check back next week.  :)

 Recognitions:
    William Daren, awarded the Starfleet Service Medal.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.

 Exchange of the Week: The things I have to do to get some recognition...
 <CoroLCARS> =Description= For those who are still catching up, the battle
 was a holographic projection. The people in that projection were holograms,
 made up of your various character's personality profiles. <<Wanted to see
 if I could kill the whole crew before someone figured it out. ;)>>
 <L2SL_Wayne> <<you are an evil CO :) >>
 <CmdrGreenbaugh> <<ok, so I'm sweaty from watching the show, not being in
 it, but like they're all saying it was evil>>
 <Professor> <<::does Keanu Reaves Matrix moves::>>
 <Savant> ((the best COs are all evil))
 <CPCO_LoraKor> <<Why thank you, Lieutenant.  What a nice compliment.  :)>>

 Exchange of the Week, bonus edition: No, the Arboretum is on deck 9...
 <Mr_Dalton> 7> ::gestures to the alcohols behind him:: Pick your poison.
 <ENEN_Oswald> 7> I wouldn't...
 <ENEN_Oswald> 7> how about some cran-apple juice?
 <Mr_Dalton> 7> This is a bar, not an orchard.

 Sim Title: "Patent Pending", Part 3

 U.S.S. Atlantis, the ship we had been slated to meet as part of one of
 Starfleet's LORASON tests, was nothing more than a scattered field of
 debris.  The ship, Hahn class, had been fitted with a slipstream core.  The
 Coro crew noticed almost immediately that the core was missing from the
 debris field.  However, we had very little time to consider this because a
 group of four manta-shaped ships, undetected by the LORASON system,
 decloaked around the Coronado and attacked!

 Ambushed and outnumbered four to one, the ship took a frightful beating.
 Coro's standard ploy in this situation would have been to outrun the Omega
 ships and perhaps engage them in a running firefight, but with fighters
 launched, that would have meant condemning the fighter pilots to a grisly
 death or worse still, capture by the Omega.  As a result, the Captain
 ordered a daring game of cat-and-mouse, using the frigate's superior
 maneuverability to avoid the brunt of the fire while trying to get our
 fighter pilots on board.  This plan probably would have worked, had four
 additional Omega craft not decloaked.  The second wave of fire overwhelmed
 Coro's defenses; the Captain and Lieutenant Daren were killed and Savant's
 program was overloaded; the ship was in danger of being destroyed...

 ...before the Professor of all people called for the computer to "end
 program."  Of course, it was another of Starfleet's tests, this one
 designed to test the crew's reaction to an overwhelming situation and
 occurring in a holodeck.  Rather than stressing real people and equipment,
 Starfleet is considering a plan to run these tests on holographic ships
 and crew personality profiles in a holodeck.  The Captain was of the
 opinion that the idea needed a little work, but was pleased that the Coro's
 actual running was not interrupted.

 Connolly, Torlea, and Greenbaugh disembarked to the real U.S.S. Atlantis,
 as did the Professor hologram, hopefully leaving Savant's matrix repaired
 in his wake.  The LORASON tests were successful, Commander Bentall has
 returned aboard after testifying in the matter of Captain Swift, and Coro
 is preparing for her next mission.
