Notes from the Captain:
Thus concludes Coronado episode #80. Lots of milestones in this episode!
Last week was Coro's 200th total sim. This week was Coro's 100th sim
while a member of UCIP. And of course, 80 episodes means that Coro has
now exceeded the mark set by the original Star Trek series, which had
79 episodes. ;-) Four more years, and we can start passing other Trek
series records. ::grins::
Things continued to be very busy this week, with 20 simmers on the Coro
roster and an old friend named Alf or something like that badgering me
to rejoin with a new character. ;-) Fortunately or not, much of North
America was under severe weather this Monday evening meaning we were
missing a lot of people. Remember, to avoid an unannounced absense, you
can either let me know in advance that you can't make the sim, or up to
48 hours *after* the sim happens if you have computer troubles, weather,
ISP nightmares, or the like. Just let me know as soon as you can! An
unannounced absense resets your "sims in a row" count for your Golden
Nebula qualification. An announced absense plus a log that week keeps
your "in a row" count from being reset. ;-) Word to the wise.
Sim Title: "A Friendly Face in a Distant Place", Part 3
Coronado is currently landed on planet Reor II, known to the inhabitants
as Reorsa. Reorsa is class M with a single moon (Quaatisa) and an unusual
turbulent atmosphere that prevents the operation of sensors. In addition,
the cloud cover over the planet combined with the fact that Reorsa orbits
an orange star makes the sky on the planet gold rather than blue. Dark
red colors appear black, and light reds appear darker, again owing to the
unusual nature of the clouds. Though we have not yet investigated this,
it is probable that the native lifeform of the planet, the braids, lack
visual receptors for the color red since it is a rare color on their
planet. After completing a successful landing, Coro's officers
speculated regarding how long it would be before we were contacted by
the government of Reorsa.
As it happened, we did not have to wait long. The Reorsan President,
Darine n'Chamba, an imposing dark-skinned and -haired woman of middle
years, contacted Coronado and invited the Captain to meet. She also
made it clear that she was very pleased to have us on the planet, and
welcomed us to also assemble shore leave parties if we wished. After
discussing the options with his senior officers, Captain Lora Kor elected
to send two initial groups. He himself would lead one group to meet with
the Reorsan President and her government. Commander Daren would lead a
second group to explore more of the city itself. We were informed that
both the city and the island upon which it rests is called "Churchill
Downs." The city is roughly C-shaped and curves around a bay facing one
of Reorsa's seas. On one side of the city is "Fisher's Landing," where
Churchill's first Away team set down. On the other is Government Square,
where the main government and service buildings are. Between are homes,
farms, and an extensive marketplace.
After the two teams were assembled and gathered outside the ship, two
anti-gravity transports arrived near Coronado. One took the Captain's
party, notably including Colonel Ironside, toward the south end of the
city and Government Square. The other took Commander Daren's group toward
the north end and the marketplaces. Lt. Commander Oswald was left in
command of the Coronado. However, at the Colonel's urging, the Captain
engaged some kind of precautionary program in Savant's matrix but did not
explain what that program might do. The trip for the Captain's transport
was relatively uneventful and it arrived in Government Square in fairly
short order, though an animated discussion marked the trip, regarding a
number of fighter craft and patrol ships apparently being launched from
a spaceport on the north side of the city. The transport operator
refused to explain why the patrols are so regular and unyielding, telling
us it was not his place to explain.
Meanwhile, the trip for Commander Daren's group turned out to be a bit
more unusual, with their transport breaking down half-way along their
journey! Daren's party included Commander Dejat, who asked and received
permission to look over the transport and try to determine what was
wrong. Needless to say, the operator of the second transport was quite
apologetic for the mishap. Eventually, Commander Dejat was able to fix
the problem and the transport arrived in the marketplace. The group then
examined the various merchandise for sale and the people doing the
selling. Interestingly, the braids seem to be completely integrated
into the culture of Churchill Downs.
Once the Captain's group arrived at Government Square, they were greeted
by President n'Chamba, Admiral Charlie Theron, apparently the leader of
the Reorsan Starfleet, and Commander T'Lara of Vulcan, the original
Executive Officer of the Churchill. T'Lara is the only surviving member
of Churchill's crew, the others of shorter-lived races having died long
since. The planet apparently also considers her a matriarch of sorts.
No sooner were the introductions completed before T'Lara asked Captain
Lora Kor to help her out of her antigrav chair. Once out, she addressed
the crowd, the President, and the Admiral as one, telling them all that
no secrets should be kept from the Coronado visitors! Quite taken aback
by this announcement, the President and Admiral Theron led the Captain's
group into the main government building. The lobby of this building
featured sculpture and paintings describing the history of the Reorsa
colony... including one painting that depicted by Churchill and an
unfamiliar destroyer-class vessel bearing Starfleet markings.
After a bit of prodding, Admiral Theron indicated that this was registry
"RS-01, Reorsan Starship Dauntless." He then specified that the ship had
been destroyed four years earlier by a species the Reorsans call "the
Accursed."

Exchange of the Week: Not everyone who hides the truth is an enemy...
<[FCCO_LoraKor]> ::extends his own hand, clearing his head of all
emotion as best he can, and helps T'Lara up::
<[COMC_Ironside]> ::tenses slightly as the Captain reaches forward, not
sure whether he's preparing himself to knock the Captain out of the way,
or help T'Lara should she collapse::
<CoroLCARS> =.\ction= T'Lara stands unsteadily, looks around the
assembled group and speaks again. When she does, her voice projects,
easily reaching the crowd.
<[Savant]> ::Smiles politely at T`Lara, somewhat reserved but not in any
way rude::
<[FCCO_LoraKor]> T'Lara> Let all Reorsa know that these people are my
people as you are my people. Let nothing be held from them. They have
come to us as brothers and sisters, and deserve to know what we have
done here, the good of it... and the bad.
<[COMC_Ironside]> ::silently, to himself:: I knew it.
<CoroLCARS> =.\ction= T'Lara sits back down with as much dignity as she
can, ignoring the shocked looks of the people around her.
<[Savant]> ::Savant doesnt' turn to look at the croud, but can see their
reactions nonetheless::
<[Savant]> ::murmurs to herself:: interesting.
<[FCCO_LoraKor]> T'Lara> ::looks up at Lora Kor and Ironside:: Do not
judge these people too harshy... they have done what was needed... what
was logical.
<[Nikkos]> ::nods, agreeing with T'Lara, proud of her for what she is
saying::
<[FCCO_LoraKor]> ::nods but doesn't trust himself to speak::
<[COMC_Ironside]> ::glances at the Captain, then back at T'Lara::
<[Savant]> I would not imagine it any other way, Ma'am.
<[FCCO_LoraKor]> Darine> ::swallows:: Well. Will you please come this
way?
<[Nikkos]> ::grins and nudges Ironside in the ribs:: (q) That unsettled
the Iron Tower. ::indicates the president::
<[COMC_Ironside]> ::allows himself to smile slightly, politely, and
nods to T'Lara before passing her and following Darine::
