 Notes from the Captain:

 The Coro crew roster is full!  And maybe then some by a little.  ;-)  If
 you haven't already, please welcome Ensign Dave Mayo aboard, as played
 by Spork.  In addition, returning to us again is Phishie as 2nd
 Lieutenant Natalia Petrovna!  Welcome back, Allie, and welcome aboard,
 Spork!  In addition, please congratulate Daren, who was given his
 well-deserved promotion to Commander this week!  :-)
 
 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 3

 Coronado continued to hold station near the Type G0 yellow star "north"
 of the Gateway system.  Our orbit took us on a looping course from the
 single class M planet in this system to its extensive outer asteroid
 belt.  Our purpose to holding in the system is two-fold: first, we have
 been waiting for M.R.F. Pearl, U.S.S. Odyssey, and Pearl's escort ships
 to arrive in the system.  In addition, our own Wraith squadron was sent
 to the system to refuel and will remain to defend Pearl and Odyssey.
 Once Pearl entered the system, she proceeded to unfold and continue her
 repairs to the severely crippled Odyssey.  This system serves as an
 ideal location for these repairs, since the system's two gas giants
 offer deuterium in abundance and the asteroid belt is metal rich.  With
 Pearl's industrial replicators and repair capability, it is entirely
 possible that Odyssey can be entirely repaired in this system.

 While we were waiting, our other mission awaited: exploration of the
 system's class M planet.  Unusually, the planet is in a "locked" orbit,
 perpetually showing a single face to its bright yellow star.  As a
 result, the planet is only marginally class M, with an extremely hot
 sunward side and an extremely cold shadowed side.  The Captain ordered
 an away mission to the surface, especially as we have detected evidence
 of advanced technology on the surface.  The Boratis survey ship, still
 in the system, was also conducting its own exploration of the planet.

 While this Away mission proceeded, Lt. Commander Oswald instructed her
 Engineering team to mount a shuttle mission to the system's asteroid
 belt.  We are still suffering fairly extensive heat and stress damage
 to parts of the hull... damage severe enough that we will need the raw
 materials provided by the asteroids to repair our hull.  This shuttle
 mission was completed without incident... probably becuase she delegated
 it rather than participated in it, to Oswald's way of thinking...

 On the surface, the Away team found extensive ruins comprising an
 ancient city.  The city showed signs of once being the home of an 
 advanced civilization... a civilization that must have died out hundreds
 or thousands of years ago if they didn't escape the planet entirely.
 Ruined structures, streets, and courtyards were visible everywhere the
 team looked, as were alien artificats of unknown purpose.  One such
 artifact appeared to still be operational.  Experimenting with the small
 device, the Away team was able to make the holographic image of an
 insect-like lifeform appear for a few seconds, followed by apparent
 directional vectors and other information.  The Away team will be
 returning this and other objects to the ship for further analysis.

 Meanwhile, Ensign Dave Mayo, covering Tactical for Commander Drexler,
 reported the presence of a nearby cloaked ship.  The cloaking technology
 being used is extremely primitive, which allowed us to detect the ship
 at fairly long range.  The Captain ordered the Away teams to finish up
 their work within six hours so that we can leave the system to intercept
 and contact this badly cloaked vessel.

 Promotions:
    William Daren, from Lt. Commander to Commander
        Last promotion date: 30-Oct-00, 23 sims (inc. one double-length)
           Daren, aka Commander William Daren, despite being one of the
           "new guys" (he's "only" been on the sim for 16 months) has
           proven himself an able simmer and role-player.  He has done
           the Coro proud during his tenure, weathering all of the
           strangeness that the ship has to offer.  He more than deserves
           his promotion to Commander.  Thank you, Daren!

 Recognitions:
    Bronze Medal for Service:
       Commander William Daren (aka Daren)
          For one year of service as Coronado's Chief Tactical Officer
          before taking on the role as Executive Officer.  Well done,
          Daren, and thank you!!  :-)

 Academy Completions:
    Starfleet Academy Basic Course:
       Cadet Patrick McKeown, 95%.  Outstanding, McKeown!


 Exchange of the Week: Drexler, this ISN'T that sort of sim.  ;-)
 <[Savant]> ::smiles at Drexler and takes his hand... unfortunately, she's
 several hundred pounds, and just accidentally pulls him on top of her::
 <[LCTC_Drexler]> <<lol...>>
 <[LCTC_Drexler]> <<I was helping Ungtae up ;)>>
 <[Savant]> ah! Sorry, sir, i guess i don't know my own strength!
 <[Savant]> ((woops! Sorry))
 .
 . later...
 .
 <LCTC_Drexler> SB>  Morning, doctor. ::smiles quietly::
 <LCTC_Drexler> SB>  ::enters the doctor::
 <LCTC_Drexler> <<ROFL!!!!!!!!!!>>
 <LCTC_Drexler> SB>  ::enters the shuttle::
 <LCTC_Drexler> <<I need to stop reading and typing at the same time.>>
 <LJdr_Ungtae> SB> ::eyes Drexler suspiciously before breaking into a 
 broad grin::
