 Notes from the Captain:

 An odd little sim, but one I hope you enjoyed!  :)

 Next week, we run Coro's second annual Halloween sim.  This one's called
 "In the Absense of Negative Proof" and it's something I wrote almost 10
 years ago now, which will adapted for the Coro format.  Let's see if it
 works.  Hope to see you there!

 I have removed Cadet John Grimms from the roster for lack of attendance
 over the last month.  However, as I said, we'll be seeing a number of new
 faces over the next couple of weeks!  :)

 Promotions:
    Jack C. Farley, from Cadet to Ensign
        Last promotion date: 18-Sep-00, 4 sims
           Cadet Farley has been doing an outstanding job since joining
           the Coronado sim four weeks ago.  He is holding his own along
           with much more experienced simmers and has been doing a fine
           job.  I look forward to watching him continue to develop!  :)
           Well done, Ensign!

 Recognitions:
    None this week.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.

 "Exchange" of the Week: Why do all our Science Officers turn strange?
  SL1> So... you're an hermaphroditic life form...
  SL1> Or do you reproduce asexually?  ::chuckles briefly as a
 joke about what the insectoids could do with themselves were that the case
 passes through her thoughts::

 Sim Title: "Hypergate", Part 3

 The Vulcan ambassador ship, bearing Ambassador Storn, arrived in the
 Pandemonium system.  Vice Admiral Aldur called a conference of the Task
 Group ship Captains aboard the Stirling, which Captain Lora Kor flew the
 Captain's Gig to the Stirling to attend.  Once the meeting broke up, the
 Gig returned to Coronado... with the Ambassador on board.  The Captain
 indicated that the Task Group would be getting under way soon, and that the
 Sutherland should be prepared for depature.  In the meantime, the Captain
 piloted the Gig to the lifeform which Sutherland towed to the defensive
 perimeter.  The ambassador, in a spacesuit, then drifted down to the
 lifeform, presumably to mindmeld with it.

 Meanwhile, we learned a bit more about the "eggsacs" that were discovered
 aboard the Sutherland, primarily that they aren't eggsacs at all, but
 apparently the immature form of the large lifeforms the insectoids use to
 prevent the hypergates from operating fully.  In particular, when subjected
 to matter rather than energy, they were found to grow rapidly, perhaps
 somehow assimilating the matter and using it as a nutrient.

 Once the mindmeld was complete, the Captain returned the Gig to Coro.
 As he did, the Traxati launched another probe attack... one that the Task
 Group apparently ignored.  The Traxati ignored the Task Group in turn, and
 attacked the lifeform left behind instead.  The Traxati cut the lifeform
 into hundreds of parts with a neutronium needle cloud... and those parts
 were seen to grow, perhaps consuming the needles.

 The Task Group escaped the destruction and proceeded to the Pandemonium
 gate, where the Captain revealed the result of the meeting: Vice Admiral
 Aldur has elected to do as much as possible to destroy the Pandemonium gate
 so that the Traxati and their enemies cannot use it to hijack Starfleet and
 other vessels in the region.  Two ships were self-destructed to destroy the
 lifeforms covering the gate, then a number of tri-cobalt devices were fired
 from the Task Group ships to destroy the gravimetric drives.  The Task
 Group then passed through the gate and commenced doing the same to the
 Wormwood gate.  However, the Wormwood gate's spin speed will be slowed
 before the drives are destroyed so that the gate cannot be used.
