 Notes from the Captain:

 The events of Monday's sim are, of course, completely overshadowed by the
 events in New York City some fourteen hours afterwards.  Some of you may
 wonder about my feelings.  Put simply, I cannot yet wrap words around the
 rage and fury I'm feeling for the perpetrators, the anguish and sorrow
 I'm feeling for the victims.  I, like many Americans, lost friends and
 co-workers on Tuesday morning.  I, like many Americans, enjoyed my visits
 to the World Trade Center complex and its twin towers.  I have memories
 of people I will never see again, of places I will never visit again.

 How am I feeling?  I will rely on the words of another American, Tom
 Clancy, who once wrote in fiction of the leader of a nation that would
 condone associating itself with the slaughter of innocents:

 "I think you may have associated yourself with the wrong friends... if my
 impression is correct, then your country could well pay dearly for that
 misjudgment.  We have experienced a direct attack on our citizens.  It was
 a particularly cruel and barbaric attack...  Those guilty of launching
 that attack will face our justice.  We will not send notes of protest.  We
 will not call a special meeting of the UN Security Council in New York.
 We will make war.  We will make war with all the power and rage this
 country and her citizens can muster.  Ordinary men, women, and children
 have been murdered within our borders by a foreign power...  Does your
 country wish to be associated with those acts?  If so... if you wish to be
 part of that, then the war commences now."

 For those of you in America, the House of Representatives has passed a
 measure urging all Americans to purchase and fly an American flag.  Mine
 is hanging outside my house right now.  For those outside America, thank
 you for all of the kind words and wishes your leaders are sending us.

 As for Coro... Coro will go on.  My actions will not be defined for me by
 cowards who slaughter innocents.  There will be a moment of silence before
 the Coro sim on Monday, and before each sim nearest 11 September for as
 long as Coronado or any other Internet game I run endures.  However, those
 of you who wish not to be present are excused for the next two sims
 automatically, and longer if you need longer -- just let me know.

 God bless all of you and keep you safe.

 Remember, a very detailed map of the part of M64 Coro finds herself in is
 available for your review at:

 http://www.jestertrek.com/m64/

 Our current position is outside system G039, which you'll find in Grid 015
 (above Reor on the large map on the first page).


 Sim Title: "The First Inkling", Part 2

 Coronado held position in system G039, supporting the recovery of patrol
 2/7, which was attacked by the Accursed.  A Marine fire team went aboard
 the small patrol ship before the full Away team, intent on securing the
 area.  Instead, they encountered a single lifeform wihch disabled one
 Marine and threatened to kill the whole team before it was destroyed by
 1st Lieutenant Moore.  The creature exploded at time of death, spraying
 shrapnel from what was apparently a metal helmet or armor it was wearing.
 Because of the explosion, we don't know anything about the lifeform.

 The away team quickly beamed over, first to help the wounded Marines (who
 were soon evacuated to Coro's Sickbay), then to investigate what might
 have happened to patrol 2/7 and the presence of the Accursed fighter
 rammed into it.  Unfortunately, due to the patrol ship's condition after
 not one, but two firefights, there wasn't much left of the interior.
 Lieutenant Ma'Aru was able to determine that the contents of the ship's
 computer had been copied and then destroyed somehow, and that the ship's
 computer had further been overcome and taken over from outside the ship,
 but that was all that she could determine.

 Meanwhile, Coro herself tracked the presence of four Accursed transport
 ships outside the system, two each in two neighboring systems.  After
 investigating their spacefold drive and its ability to allow Accursed
 ships to appear instantly in their target system, we learned some
 interesting things.  Commander Drexler determined that the ships must
 remain in a system once they have jumped into it in order to either
 recharge their drive systems or calibrate them to the next jump.  He
 estimated that the fastest that this could be done would be 10 to 20
 minutes.  Ensign Wilk was able to determine that an Accursed ship's entry
 point into a system is easily predictable as long as the departure system
 is known.  Either of these pieces of information could prove to be vital
 tactical data at some point in the future.

 We had little time to consider this, however, since all four Accursed
 vessels folded into G039 within minutes of each other... and instead of
 attacking Coronado, seemed intent on retaking patrol 2/7.  This doesn't
 mean that Coro was not attacked; on the contrary, two of the ships
 launched withering attacks on the frigate, including one ship which
 struck at Coronado with a withering plasma beam wich sliced through the
 starboard shields and caused serious damage to the secondary hull near
 Main Engineering.  The Captain again ordered a withdrawl, which Major
 Wayne and 2nd Lieutenant Prescot supported with their fighter wings.

 That withdrawl was complicated, however, by the fact that the Away team
 had moved on to investigating the Accursed fighter rammed into patrol 2/7.
 Lieutenant Farley, in particular, entered the ship to study it... and was
 enveloped by some kind of web or filament!  Farley was soon completely
 trapped, lifesigns so low as to be nearly non-existant.  Commander Daren
 attempted to rescue the young Engineer, only to become partially enveloped
 himself.  With Coro under heavy attack, Lieutenant Marcy became desperate
 to rescue the Away team so that the frigate could escape.  He first
 attempted to beam Commander Daren from the web and was successful except
 for the XO's trapped right arm... unfortunately, the transporter, unable
 to lock onto the arm, left it behind!  Daren reappeared in Coro's
 transporter room, bleeding profusely but was soon in the care of the
 Medical staff.

 Marcy was given a few extra minutes in which to work with the arrival of
 the cavalry: starships Renegade, Resolute, and Blackrazor arrived from a
 nearby system where they had been battling two of the transports.  The new
 arrivals provided cover for the badly-damaged Coro and time for Marcy to
 beam to patrol 2/7 and literally cut Farley free of the filament.  This
 caused the engineer excruciating pain, but was successful... Marcy pulled
 Farley out of there alive and the two were beamed back to the ship.  Coro
 then completed her withdrawl, her Spectre wings covering.

 Exchange of the Week: I can't decide: either watching the American
                       Congress unite and sing "God Bless America" or the
                       passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 voting to
                       attack the hijackers and take back their plane...
                       no matter the risk to their lives, so that they
                       could save the lives of innocents on the ground.
