 Notes from the Captain:

 The major news for this week is two LOAs caused by computer problems:
 both Masters (aka Major Thomas Wayne) and Skylooker (aka Lt. Aramis
 Skylooker) are having computer problems serious enough to warrant long-
 term LOAs.  :-/  Hope you guys are back soon!!

 Remember, the M64 graphic is at:

 http://www.jestertrek.com/coro2400/bodies/setting/gateway.gif

 We're currently orbiting the large yellow star just "north" of Gateway.

 To interpret this picture: Gateway is the red giant star we entered M64
 nearby.  Each square on this graphic represents a sector: an area of
 space approximately 20 light-years on a side.  For simplicity, this is a
 2D drawing; assume that anything not shown is not important.  ;-)  The
 colors of stars on the drawing represents the color of the star if we
 visit it.  Orange and yellow stars have the best chance of supporting
 "life as we know it."  The size of each star indicates the mass of things
 in orbit.  Larger dots are stars that have more mass in orbit -- planets
 or other massive objects, in other words.  The Gateway system has a
 hypergate in orbit; other systems with hypergates would appear roughly
 that same size on this or future drawings.  However, we're not picking
 up any other neutronium objects on this scan.

 The six largest yellow star markers are the systems most likely to have
 class M planets in orbit.  The large yellow/white mass in the top center
 is a very large, high energy nebula of some kind.  As we do more
 exploring, I'll be sending out other pictures like this one.  :-)

 I'll see you next week!


 Sim Title: "Voyager's Lament", Part 2

 Withour our immediate repair problems solved, Coronado has been assigned
 by Vice Admiral Aldur to explore the local space "north" of the Gateway 
 system.  Assigned with us are U.S.S. Fearless and the Camelynian 
 destroyer Javelin.  Though we're all in the same groups, the three ships
 have been ranging to different locations to expand our search radius.
 Still, the three ships were together when we entered the closest system
 on our route to Gateway with planets in orbit.  Dropping out of warp,
 we discovered a stable yellow star surrounded by a family of seven
 planets, one of which read as marginally class M.  The remaining worlds
 were a various combination of rocky planets, gas giants, and a large
 outer asteroid belt.  The system appeared to be uninhabited... however,
 there was a small alien survey craft in orbit of the class M planet.
 The class M planet is interesting in that it keeps a single face turned
 toward its star, making one side of the planet very warm, the other very
 cold.  An alien landing craft from the survey ship was on the surface in
 the "twilight" area between the two regions.

 Close observation of the survey craft confirmed that it was piloted by
 a single individual.  The ship itself was reminiscent of late 21st
 century technology on Earth, with missile weapons and primitive
 transporter technology in addition to a hyperlight drive apparently not
 based on subspace principles.  The drive, in fact, appeared to be some
 sort of inertialess gravimetric drive of some sort and probably allows
 both sublight and hyperlight travel using the same drive, though we only
 observed it in its sublight mode.  The main ship was associated with a
 lander on the surface.  The lander had a crew of ten.  Upon Coro's entry
 into the system, the alien ship hailed using light-speed radio and asked
 our intentions.  Surprisingly and for reasons which are quite unclear,
 the universal translator had almost no trouble developing a translation
 matrix despite the fact that the alien language was previously
 completely unknown.  The ship identified itself as being piloted by a
 species called the Boratis.

 The pilot of the ship agreed to come aboard Coro, and that's when we got
 our second shock: Boratis are six limbed, with two legs and four arms.
 Their primary arms are apparently geared toward strength, while two 
 shorter arms are geared toward fine manipulation.  The individual Boratis
 was named Calamar Turnam and seemed intensely curious about us.  After
 secretly advising Colonel Ironside that noone aboard should share data
 regarding advanced technology with the Boratis, the Captain took Calamar
 on a tour of the ship.  The Colonel returned to the Bridge.

 Unfortunately, Lt. Commander Janeway chose that moment to launch a probe
 to investigate the possibilities of mining deuterium from the gas giant 
 and recovering metallic ores from the asteroid field.  Commander Dejat
 also maneuvered the ship to make these investigations easier.  The 
 Boratis lander returned to the mothership to find their pilot gone and
 a large alien ship accelerating toward them, firing projectiles!  Savant
 wryly referred to this as a standard "Coronado-style first contact," but
 Colonel Ironside was not amused and neither was the Captain when he was
 informed of events.  The Captain asked Calamar Turnam to reassure his
 people that Coro's crew was peaceful despite their suspicious actions.
 Calamar was not only successful, but asked permission to remain aboard as
 a diplomatic envoy and to learn more about us.  Since we have no allies
 yet in our new galaxy, the Captain agreed and asked Engineering to
 provide the Boratis ship with a portable subspace communications array
 so that the Boratis captain can keep in touch with his pilot.

 Exchange of the Week: Yeah, we're not very good at it, are we?  ;-)
 <FCCO_LoraKor> 9> She did not mean to interrupt us...  ::gives Savant a 
 level-2 glare o' pain::  ...and I'm sure she has a good explanation.
 * Savant smiles a winning smile for Calamar and bows slightly, the 
 hologram flickering a little, "Good afternoon sir! I hope i didn't startle
 you."
 <civ_Calamar> ::listening to the captain::
 <Savant> I do, Sir, and i apologize for interrupting, but. . . there's 
 been another Coronado-style first contact on the Bridge... it's currently
 under control, but i thought it deserved your immediate attention.
 <civ_Calamar> A coronado-style first contact? What did he meen?
 <Savant> I'd be happy to finish the tour for you, Sir, or to leave you 
 to the tour and allow Mister Ironsides to finish the job in his.. usual
 way ^_^
 <FCCO_LoraKor> 9> Coronado-style.  How droll.  Thank you, Savant.  
 ::turns::  Calamar Turnam, it appears that my crew has unintentionally 
 frightened your crewmates in some fashion.
 <FCCO_LoraKor> 9> Would you mind accompanying me to our command center?  
 There, we can talk to them and explain that whatever my ship has done, we
 are truly sorry for.
 <civ_Calamar> May I reassure them?
 <civ_Calamar> I will comply
 <FCCO_LoraKor> 9> ::nods::  Please, I believe that would be very 
 appropriate.  ::turns and leads Calamar toward the TL::
 * Savant nods in agreement with the Captain's decision and floats up a 
 few inches from the ground again, "I will see you there, then, Sir. And
 welcome aboard again, Mister Calamar"
