 Notes from the Captain:

 Despite the jokes about this being a "Coronado-style first contact," this
 mission is actually a meeting with a species that the Churchill survivors
 have known about and have been dealing with for some time.  In other
 words, this isn't our fault!  ;-)

 Remember, a very detailed map of the part of M64 we find ourselves in is
 available for your review at:

 http://www.jestertrek.com/m64/

 Our current position is the Ji'sa system, which you'll find in Grid 002
 (immediately to the left of Gateway on the large map on the first page).


 Sim Title: "Black Ships", Part 1

 U.S.S. Coronado has been ordered to the Ji'sa system, in our continuing
 tour of Reorsan allies west of their space.  U.S.S. Swiftsure continues a
 similar mission east of Reorsa.  The Ji'san, even by Reorsan standards,
 are the most lukewarm of their allies, being unenthusiastic about space
 travel in general and unenthusiastic about visitors in particular.  We do
 know a bit about their culture: it places a high premium on a strict caste
 system, knowing one's place in the whole, as well as morality and personal
 honor.  In many ways, it mirrors Japanese culture on 18th and 19th century
 Earth... but with late 20th and early 21st century level technology.  In
 short, the planet was NOT a viable candidate for first contact under the
 Prime Directive.  However, the Churchill survivors have of course shown
 that they have little use for Starfleet General Order One.

 Arriving at Ji'sa, we found that our briefing information was dead on: not
 only did the Ji'sans ignore our arrival, it took three calls down to their
 planet before they would respond.  In the process of calling, we learned
 two things: first, though the Reorsans have sold the Ji'sans shuttlecraft
 with which to explore and exploit the resources of their home system, the
 Ji'san are not using the shuttles.  Second, we discovered that the Ji'san
 are extremely sensitive in the use of language.  Only after our greeting
 was carefully phrased did they actually respond, and their response was
 unenthusiastic to say the least.  It was clear that they were tolerant of
 our visit at best, actively opposed to it at worst.  However, Ji'san
 culture is so structured and polite that the response was apathetic rather
 than actively hostile.

 Given our mission and the unenthusiastic Ji'san response, the Captain
 elected for only a small, unarmed Away team to pay our respects to the
 Ji'san Council, known as the Sudyar caste.  The team initially beamed
 down to meet with the Sudyar's leader, Councilor Bryn Rinad.  However, the
 Away team, including the Captain, materialized inside a large airplane
 hangar instead of Council chambers.  The group was confused by this until
 Councilor Rinad appeared and started the meeting by asking the Captain for
 a favor.  A bit non-plussed, the Captain agreed.  The Councilor then led
 the group to the six Reorsan shuttlecraft and asked that Coronado remove
 them, as they were "not wanted."  Although the Ji'san shuttlecraft pilots
 seemed very angry at the Councilor's words, the Captain eventually agreed
 that if the Ji'san didn't want the shuttles, that he would remove them.

 Even more non-plussed, the Away team allowed Councilor Rinad to lead them
 out of the hangar and into an old-fashioned six-wheeled carriage.  The
 carriage was pulled by six-legged beasts of burden not dissimilar from
 horses.  The Captain attempted to engage the Councilor in discussions
 during the carriage ride, but Rinad made it clear that talking during the
 ride would be unacceptable, so the team conferred amongst themselves and
 with the ship instead, trying to determine what the Ji'san might want out
 of the meetings.

 We learned when, after following an isolated meandering path through a
 lush garden, the carriage arrived at a large grey metallic building,
 presumably the Sudyar Council chambers.  Outside this building, faced by
 Rinad and five other Councilors, the Captain and his team were told that
 not only did the Ji'san desire that the team leave immediately, but they
 also asked that we and our allies never return to Ji'sa again...

 Promotions:
    Kariasa Ma'Aru, from Lieutenant (JG) to Lieutenant
        Last promotion date: 21-May-01, 9 sims
           It is my pleasure to promote Kari from Lieutenant (JG) to the
           rank of full Lieutenant.  She continues to be a very bright spot
           among Coro's junior officers, always enthusiastic and reliable!
           Keep up the good work, Kari!

    Ungtae Brie, from Lieutenant (JG) to Lieutenant
        Last promotion date: 09-Apr-01, 14 sims
           Aggie, aka Ungtae Brie, is a long-time Coronado simmer, and an
           excellent one!  His characters are always very creative, and Dr.
           Ungtae is no exception.  I'm waiting patiently for the good
           doctor's characterization to settle down a bit [;-)], but in
           the meantime, it would be unfair to delay Aggie's promotion.

    Savant, from Lt. Commander to Commander
        Last promotion date: 12-Feb-01, 24 sims
           Savant is another long-time Coro simmer, having first joined 
           the sim in January 1998, more than 3.5 years ago!  Since that
           time, he has done a simply outstanding job of character
           development and role-playing; he is, in fact, so good at this
           that he makes the rest of us better.  Thank you, Mouse!!  :-)

 Recognitions:
     Kragite Order of Heroism
        Major Thomas Wayne
           For showing impressive grace under fire, specifically while
           undergoing testing and observation by the Taer.

     Mannheim Award
        Lt. Commander Kathryn Janeway
           For outstanding contributions to ship's science exploration,
           specifically for her work investigating the Traxati lifeform.

     Star Cross for Merit
        Kath, aka Lt. Commander Kathryn Janeway
           OOC recognition for excellent work in character development in
           both on- and off-duty roles, directly contributing to the
           overall quality of the Coronado simulation.  Nice work, Kath!

     Starfleet Service Medal
        Kari, aka Lt. Kariasa Ma'Aru
        Aggie, aka Lt. Ungtae Brie
           OOC recognition for serving 20 weeks on a Starfleet vessel.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.  (Get out there and take a class!)
