 Notes from the Captain:

 Took us a bit to get into the groove this week, but that's probably my
 fault as I had to pass a lot of information along to the "guests."    
 Thank you to everyone who played the Away team from U.S.S. Churchill!
 We'll be continuing our conversation with the folks from Reorsa next
 week, so I hope to see you there!
 
 Remember, the M64 graphic is at:

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

 We're currently just "north" of the large yellow star 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.  :-)


 Sim Title: "A Friendly Face in a Distant Place", Part 1

 Coro picked up a badly-cloaked ship north of the type G0 yellow star
 that we have designated the "Pitstop" system.  After seeing to the
 safety of Pearl, Odyssey, their support ships and guards, a repair
 team then saw to work on our own hull.  After six hours and using the
 raw materials we collected from Pitstop's asteroid belt, repair teams
 completed the work on the outer hull.  Coro then left Pitstop to
 intercept the craft.

 Closing to short range sensor distance, we were quickly able to
 determine several bits of information about the ship, despite the cloak
 they were using.  The ship's mass was about 400,000 tonnes, and was
 constructed of duranium and toranium alloys.  Interior scans revealed a
 crew of about 250 and found evidence that the ship was using both
 subspace dampeners and standard warp drive.  The combination of this
 and other data quickly brought the Bridge officers to the realization
 that we had probably found the ship that launched the Starfleet probe
 we found a few weeks ago.  The Captain ordered that Coronado drop her
 ECM defenses and transmit a full Starfleet ID signal.  A moment later,
 the other ship transmitted one in return, identifying herself as U.S.S.
 Churchill, NCC-2713.  Starfleet records indicate that Churchill was
 reported missing, presumed lost in 2286... 115 years ago.

 Soon after transmitting her ID, Churchill dropped her primitive cloak
 to reveal the ship... a Victory class cruiser based on earlier refit
 Constitution designs.  The major differences between the Victory class
 and the upgraded Constitution class are that the Victory has a larger,
 enhanced saucer and a somewhat thicker neck section.  The ship hailed
 us, informing us that someone named "Warren MacDonald" was "master of
 the Churchill" and asking us if we were from the Federation.  Somewhat
 non-plussed, the Captain responded in the affirmative... which set off
 an emotional scene aboard Churchill, including cheering, screams of
 joy, and hugs.  Apparently, those aboard Churchill had been hoping to
 encounter more Federation ships at some point.

 The Captain invited a group from Churchill on board Coronado and met
 them in the observation lounge.  After briefly sketching what Coro is
 doing in M64 and explaining the situation Task Group 5.4 was in, the
 personnel from Churchill were somewhat upset, but not crushed.  They
 then proceeded to tell us something of their situation.  Apparently,
 Churchill's crew settled on a class M planet in the "Reor" system north
 of us not long after being trapped in M64 in 2286.  There are now about
 35,000 humanoids living on the planet Reorsa, including second, third,
 fourth, and even a few fifth generation Churchill survivors.  We were
 also informed that Reorsa is the homeworld of a sentient species that
 the Mr. MacDonald called "braids."  The braids are actually a communal
 lifeform, made up of up to a dozen smaller dog-size creatures nicknamed
 "cords."  There are millions of braids on Reorsa along with the
 Churchill colony.

 After learning this and other information, the Captain asked for
 permission for Coro to follow Churchill back to Reorsa.  Though the
 Churchill group was somewhat hesitant, we received permission and set
 course for the Reor system.

 Promotions:
    Kariasa Ma'Aru, from Ensign to Lieutenant (JG)
        Last promotion date: 26-Mar-01, 8 sims
           Kari has been doing a wonderful job since joining Coronado!
           Extremely reliable, Kari is also very good at getting involved
           whether her character is directly involved in the plot or not.
           She's also showing some excellent role-playing abilities.  All
           in all, a definite asset to Coronado and Starfleet!

    Natalia Petrovna, from Marine 2nd Lieutenant to Marine 1st Lieutenant
        Last promotion date: N/A, 13 sims
           Though not the most reliable simmer in the world ::grins and
           dodges a slap::, Natalia is definitely different and fun to
           watch!  Here's hoping that we see more of her!

 Recognitions:
    Starfleet Service Medal:
       Lt. Commander Sieven Drexler (aka Daren)
          For serving 20 or more IRC sims aboard a Starfleet vessel.

    Manheim Award
       Lt. (JG) Kariasa Ma'Aru
          For outstanding work in information gathering and transmission
          to the Captain and crew of Coronado over the last several
          weeks.  Keep up the good work, Kari!

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


 Exchange of the Week: Why isn't everyone this happy to see us?
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The viewscreen blinks on. Several people are 
 visible wearing what might be 100-year-old Starfleet uniforms, and might not. 
 The leader appears to be a blonde human male in his mid-50s.
 <FCCO_LoraKor> Churchill> Attention, Coronado... this is Warren 
 MacDonald, master of the Churchill... are you real?  Are you from the 
 Federation?
 <LCTC_Drexler> ::watches the screen, glancing at his console every few 
 seconds to make sure there are no surprises::
 <FCCO_LoraKor> ::approaches the holographic tank slowly, nodding::  Good 
 morning, Churchill.  I am Captain Tebrun Lora Kor of the U.S.S. Coronado, United 
 Federation of Pla--
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Captain Lora Kor is interrupted as the Bridge crew 
 of Churchill breaks into joyous cheers and screaming. For several seconds, the 
 comm is a chaotic hubbub of voices and the display shows the Bridge crew hugging 
 and throwing their hands into the air.
 <COMC_Ironside> ::glances sidelong at the Captain, then back at the 
 holotank, retaining a rock hard expression::
 <FCCO_LoraKor> ::half turns away, swallowing::
 <Entc_Mayo> Excitable, aren't they?
 <CRXO_Daren> <m> I just wish we had good news for them...
 <LJIO_Ma`Aru> ::blinks at the picture in the tank::
 <CRXO_Daren> <m> At present, we don't.
 <Entc_Mayo> ::catches the XO's comment, and thinks about it...::
