 Notes from the Captain:

 Great sim, everyone!  Your typical away team: to a pot full of mystery, add
 a bit of the unexpected and a large monster which cheerfully eats a
 redshirt.  ;)  OK, maybe not...

 Everyone please welcome our newest crew member, Cadet John Grimms, who will
 be joining us this Monday!  :)  Cadet Grimms will be in the Tactical
 department.

 The mystery of the Traxati and the insectoids that always seem to be
 associated with them are going to be center-stage for a while.  :)  Keep
 your eyes open and your brains working.  This is a mystery that hopefully
 the crew of the Coro will be central to sorting out, but it is also tied up
 in a Fifth Fleet wide plot!

 Due to lack of participation, I have removed Ensign Raynor Whiilain from
 Coro's crew roster.

 Promotions:
   Aurel Ian, from Lieutenant (JG) to Lieutenant
   Last promotion date: 24-Apr-00, 9 sims
      Lieutenant Ian has been an outstanding member of the Coro's
      compliment.  She's a very good role-player, doing particularly well
      with character oriented plots.  Keep up the good work!  :-)

   Thomas Wayne, from 2nd Lieutenant to 1st Lieutenant
   Last promotion date: 19-Jun-00, 12 sims
      Lieutenant Wayne has not missed a single sim since joining Coro,
      and has been a steady presence aboard ship.  An excellent role-
      player, he does well whether he's at the center of attention in a
      fighter-oriented plot or working alone.  Keep it up!  :-)

 Recognitions:
   By order of Starfleet Command, the following officers received
   the Starfleet Ribbon of Merit commendations in their records for
   recent outstanding work:
      Commander Jarod Bentall
      Lt. Colonel Jeremy Ironside
      Lieutenant William Daren 
      Lieutenant Dalton
   Congratulations!

 Academy Completions:
   None this week.

 Exchanges of the Week: The joys of the lower decks...  ;-)
   <L1SL_Wayne> L2_Kim> SB> Whats the deal? ::sits and starts doing
   prelaunch checks::
   <L1SL_Wayne> SB> ::chuckles:: Power up and prepare for launch.
   ::winks::  And you know we are never told.

   Meanwhile, on the other side of the shuttlebay...

   <LJEN_Oswald> SB> ::looks at the other containment field:: how do we
   ever get into these situtations...
   <LTtc_Ian> SB> Dumb luck

 Sim Title: "Where You Can't Escape", Part 2

 Coronado and the Erasmus left the area of Starbase 247 and proceeded
 "south" toward Starbase 742, with the intent of passing near the Talos Star
 Group.  The Talos group is made up of approximately 35 stars of varying
 ages, and has been only partially mapped.  In part, this is due to the
 presence there of the Talos Delta system and the trouble that Starfleet
 had with this species early in its history.  In part, it is because many
 of the stars in the group are younger stars with few if any class M
 planets.  Starfleet exploration routinely bypasses systems without class M
 planets and subjects them to more detailed scans by science vessels.  Even
 the Talos Delta system is made up of a system with two class L planets.

 While passing the group, the Coro picked up a neutron radiation surge
 coming from one of the systems in the group.  Entering the group and
 slowing to impulse, Coronado tracked the radiation signature to a class L
 planet orbiting a bright yellow star.  While Erasmus stood out at high
 orbit, Coronado slipped in to investigate the signature further.  There,
 crash-landed into the surface, we found a severely damaged Federation
 freighter.  While all of the systems were in place, they were all damaged
 beyond repair.  Coro slipped into an even closer orbit to put an Away team
 on the surface.

 On closer inspection, it was clear that the ship had been brought to the
 the surface in its uncontrolled landing by severe damage brought by
 neutronium needles.  Marks of their passage were evident, and was the
 source of some of the radiation.  However, Erasmus from her higher position
 was able to confirm that the planet itself was also evidencing a neutronium
 signature.  Severe groundquakes were common during the team's landing,
 reminding many both on the team and off of the neutnronium/antineutronium
 weapons that resulted in the destruction of Zadar IV.  We were able later
 to confirm that we encounted the planet in the last hours of its life --
 soon after, it broke up to due to a massive explosion at its core.

 In the meantime, an investigation of the freighter found no more clues
 about the Traxati.  However, we DID find several specimens of the 3-meter
 tall insectoids.  We are still unclear about the relationship about the
 two species, but it is clear that the insectoids slaughtered the crew of
 the freighter for some unknown reason.  During the investigation, some kind
 of 70 meter wide creature boiled out of the snow and attacked the away
 team!  Fortunately, we were able to evacuate everyone.
