 Notes from the Captain:

 Happy election week to those in Canada!  Monday's sim was our last
 tactical sim for a while; we'll be getting into some more character-
 oriented stuff for a while.  ::chuckles::  Hope nobody minds...


 Sim Title: "A Rumor of War", Part 3

 Coronado slipped into position to recapture the Starfleet fueler that had
 apparently been hijacked.  Dropping out of slisptream, we beamed a Marine
 assault team on board to deal with the hijackers.  Unfortunately, the
 Marines' weapons had no effect on them!  Weapons fire passed right
 through their bodies.  Worse still, as the assault progressed, four
 ships, apparently Omega Manta class attack ships, dephased around Coro!
 Strangely however, the Omega ships withdrew after beaming off their
 hijackers, then fled the area -- decidedly non-Omega-like behaviour, to
 say the least.  We were left with a severely damaged fueler; after the
 Marines secured her, Lieutenant Oswald's engineering team beamed aboard.

 While the Marines held the ship, the engineers attempted to repair the
 fueler, and our fighter escort maintained a close patrol, the rest of the
 senior officers attempted to determine just what had happened.  In more
 than 40 engagements, Omega ships had never fled battle in which they held
 the obvious advantage.  The hijackers were odd, as well -- Savant was
 sharp-eyed enough to note that there were only four unique hijackers,
 though there were 12 of them.  Either we were dealing with three sets of
 quintuplets, or the hijackers were in some way artificial.  Close scans
 of the Omega ships revealed that they were using phasing cloaks; after a
 couple of abortive attacks by the partially out of phase mantas, Coro's
 crew was betting that the Omega ships were holograms as well.  Meanwhile,
 one of the fighter patrols, while investigating the debris from the
 fueler's unlucky escorts, found that much of the debris was still in a
 state of phasing flux -- one fighter even got caught in the flux.

 The danger to the ship from the phasing/dephasing ships was still very
 real -- during one attack, one of the mantas partially dephased while
 passing *through* Coronado, doing very real damage to the ship as it
 passed through!  Eliminating the phasing cloak as an advantage became
 paramount.  Ensign Tempus managed to find a way to use our deflector
 dish to disrupt the cloaks briefly, at the cost of our ability to raise
 shields.  The Captain decided that this wasn't much of a sacrifice,
 since the shields were useless against the phased attackers, and ordered
 Tempus to deploy the deflector pulse.

 The trapped fighter was pushed clear by the pulse, which also caught two
 of the manta ships... when the ships went out of phase, Commander Daren
 hammered them.  The weapons strikes apparently did enough damage to both
 knock out the cloak, and disrupt a holographic generator... revealing a
 Ferengi Marauder class ship!  From what we can guess, the Ferengi were
 attempting to steal the fueler and its cargo, while placing the blame for
 the hijacking on Omega, but the Captain wasn't interested in hearing their
 story.  He ordered the Ferengi ship disabled and captured.  Coronado will
 tow it to Starbase 247, where the Ferengi will be held pending review of
 the multiple charges against them, including the deaths on the escorts.

 Promotions:
    Zunite Oswald, from Lieutenant (JG) to Lieutenant
        Last promotion date: 14-Aug-00, 13 sims
           Sonya is Coronado's longest-serving simmer, having long-time
           characters on all three incarnations of the sim!  Her latest
           character is just as well-crafted as her others, and she
           continues to be a funny, charming part of the Coronado
           experience!  May you never leave us!  :)

    Jack C. Farley, from Ensign to Lieutenant (JG)
        Last promotion date: 09-Oct-00, 7 sims
           Jack Farley, one of Coro's newest simmers, continues to make
           an outstanding contribution, out of all proportion to his
           experience!  Keep up the good work, Lieutenant!

    Norton Cavanaugh, from Cadet to Ensign
        Last promotion date: None, 3 sims
           Ensign Cavanaugh is the most recent addition to Coro's
           complement, and I have been very impressed with both his
           role-playing ability and his ability to keep up with and
           add to the plot!  Well done, Ensign!

 Recognitions:
    None this week.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.

 Exchange of the Week: Oh come now, we've been in much worse situations
                       than this and lived to tell the tale...  ;-)
 * Savant darkens imperceptably, "I don't like ruses."
 <LTtc_Ian> I agree with you there, Savant. Omt
 <ENSI_Tempus> ::whispering under his breath something that the Professor
 taught him:: Computer, end program
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The program ends. The hologrid reappears on the
 wall and the holodeck doors open...
 <LCTC_Daren> What the?
 <CPCO_LoraKor> <<LOL  Ignore that.  ;)>>
 <LCTC_Daren> <hehe>
 <Savant> ((O_o holy noodle!))
 <CPCO_LoraKor> <<You only WISH this was on the holodeck.  >:)>>
