 Notes from the Captain:

 A very happy Thanksgiving to those in the U.S.!  For those simmers in
 Canada, happy election week.  May your elections go better than ours
 did.  ;-)

 Welcome back to Lt. Commander Fornan Dejat, who ended his leave of
 absense this week!  McC apparently completed his driving course
 successfully.  We'll see if it improves Dejat's piloting skills.  ;-)


 Sim Title: "A Rumor of War", Part 2

 Late in the ship's night, the Coronado received an priority message from
 Starfleet Command.  On contacting Starbase 742, Coro learned that a
 Federation fueler and passenger ship, along with her two escorts, had not
 transmitted their twice-daily call in.  These calls have been required of
 all ships passing between Starbases 247 and 742 since the Traxati and
 X!chi hijackings began several weeks ago.  When an emergency message was
 transmitted to the fueler, the ship responded only with a coded burst
 indicating the ship had been overrun by a hostile alien force.  The
 fueler is typical of such ships replentishing Starbase 742; most of them,
 including this one, are also registered as passenger transports.  Since
 Coro was only a few light-years from the fuelers position, we were
 ordered to intercept and investigate.

 The fueler was about an hour away at slipstream.  While en route, Colonel
 Ironside prepared the Marines for a possible assault on the fueler and
 Lt. Major Wayne got the fighters ready to provide cover.  The Captain was
 worried, however, because the ship can travel faster than a LORASON
 pulse.  Because of this, we would be approaching the area almost blind.
 However, dropping out of slipstream long enough to transmit such a pulse
 would announce our position and approach to whatever hostile force had
 taken over the fueler.  After discussing it with Commander Daren and the
 XO, the Captain decided to risk it.  The ship dropped out of slipstream
 long enough to transmit the pulse; Daren, Ironside, and the Captain
 headed down to the CIC to review the results.

 The pulse was revealing about some details, but not about others.  We
 were able to determine that there were 138 people aboard the fueler, and
 that it was apparently not being escorted.  We were also able to find
 the debris from the fueler's two escorts, indicating that both escorts
 had been destroyed.  Unfortunately, the pulse did not reveal who or what
 destroyed the escorts.  However, it did reveal a series of troubling
 energy and radition anomalies around the fueler.  Even more troubling,
 there was absolutely no evidence of either Traxati or X!chi in the area,
 our first thought as to the identity of the attackers.  As a result, the
 Captain ordered a high-speed, minimum exposure intercept -- the idea
 being to assault the fueler before any enemy ships in the area had a
 chance to react.  The plan did not, however, come off as he hoped.

 Coro dropped into the area behind the fueler, under Savant's hand at the
 helm.  The Marines were then beamed aboard in two waves, while the
 Engineering teams that would take command of the freighter stood by for
 the Marines to do their jobs.  Cadet Cavanaugh was able to identify 12
 hijackers in various parts of the ship.  However, when the Marines
 attacked these individuals, they turned out to be immune to weapons fire;
 they seemed to be partially out of phase!  Even worse, when Coro revealed
 herself, four Omega manta-shaped warships dephased around her!

 Exchange of the Week: Hm.  Well, maybe he IS an officer, after all.
 (The whole exchange was great, and I hope everyone got a chance to watch
  or review later.  Here's how it started...)
 <LTDR_Dalton> M> ::frowns at an open medical cabinet, and walks over
 towards it::
 <cpcb_Tlaloco> M> ::hides the hypospray::: well, red alert, gotta go, 
 <LTDR_Dalton> M> ::looks inside the cabinet, then looks over at Tlaloco,
 sensing something from him::
 <cpcb_Tlaloco> M>::spins to leave::
 <LTDR_Dalton> M> No ... you wait there a minute.
 <LTDR_Dalton> M> ::goes back to looking inside the cabinet::
 <cpcb_Tlaloco> M> Can't it wait, sir?
 <LTDR_Dalton> M> ::while looking inside:: That's an order.
