 Notes from the Captain:

 Great sim, everyone!  As I'm sure I'll say many times over the
 course of this summer, please let me know if you can't make a sim,
 in advance if at all possible!  I realize that summer is a busy time
 for people, but please keep me filled in so that I can tailor the
 Coro sims to the simmers that will be attending.  Thanks!  :)

 During the months of July and August, anyone who writes a written
 e-mail log will receive double promotion credit (two points instead
 of one) for that log.  Partially, this is to encourage the rather
 slow log count we've had lately, partially it's to offset the fact
 that a lot of the sims between now and the end of August will be of
 a more action-oriented bent without a lot of time for character
 development.  So, get out there and write some logs!  ;)

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Mutually Assured Survival", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Colonel Ironside discusses the difficulties of working with
 incomplete information with Major Stephen Gregg, Coronado's
 Battalion CO.  Both agree that working with complete information
 would be better, but also acknowledge that what one doesn't know,
 one can't reveal if he or she is captured.  Gregg, however,
 expresses surprise that the Colonel at least was not briefed on why
 this particular target was chosen.  The two men also discuss a
 uniform pin being worn by many Starfleet officers meant to signify
 that these officers consider Reorsa and Meyer parts of the
 Federation in absentia, and that their oaths to defend the
 Federation extend to these planets.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado is far to the "west" of Reorsa now, deep within Pfhor
 space, though our exact location is classified to most of the crew.
 Our mission is to attack and destroy a Pfhor supply depot on a
 planet code-named "Pearce" along with U.S.S. Churchill and U.S.S.
 Renegade.  Since the depot is buried deep underground on this world,
 we are obligated to transport Marines to the complex.  Once there,
 the Marines will clear an area of Hegemony troops, then plant and
 detonate a large explosive.  Commodore Lora Kor has ordered that
 "none be allowed to escape, and let no stone stand on any other," a
 rather brutal level of destruction uncharacteristic of him.

 The mission proceeds in almost straight-forward fashion.  Our
 intelligence about the system is correct: it is only lightly
 defended by Pfhor strike craft, with none of the capital ships
 present.  Our reconaissance becomes particularly good when Coro's
 systems are linked to "Kami Seya," a Taer projection of a starship
 monitoring the system.  Between this and the ansible aboard, this
 allows Coronado to stay in complete real-time sensor contact with
 the system even while at slipstream.  This remarkable level of
 intelligence allows the small task group the first strike against
 the defending strike craft, which fall quickly.  Marines then begin
 beaming down.

 Right behind them could be the real purpose for the mission: an
 intelligence team gathered by Lt. Commanders Drexler and Ma'Aru, on
 the Commodore's orders, take a team to the complex in an attempt to
 capture one of the cylindrical lifeforms.  This is the member
 species of the Hegemony that paradoxically, we know both the most
 and the least about.  We know, however, that they are a key species:
 they are the center of both the Pfhor strike craft and the
 biosoftware virus that periodically attacks allied ships.

 By capturing one, we hope to gain vital intelligence about the
 Hegemony.  Both missions are quickly successful: the intel team
 returns to Coro with not one but two of the cylindrical lifeforms,
 and the Marines plant the explosives with little difficulty.  Pfhor
 destroyers begin appearing in the system just as the teams are
 returning to Coro.  It is at that point that the mission turns
 unusual.

 Just before returning to Coro, Colonel Ironside discovers a new
 Hegemony species deep within the complex, one that the cylindrical
 lifeforms are strenuously defending.  A cross between a Borg and
 something out of a nightmare, Ironside only gets a look before
 returning to the ship.  Meanwhile, even with everyone back aboard,
 Commodore Lora Kor steadfastly refuses to allow Coronado or the
 other two ships to leave the system, ordering all vessels to evade
 the attacks by the destroyers as best they can...  The whole point
 to a hit-and-run raid is to *run* after it is completed to deny the
 enemy an effective counter-attack.  So why won't the Commodore let
 us run?

 <CRXO_Smith> CIC> ::checks his boards:: +taps+ Ready to beam up the
 teams, sir.
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Teams begin dematerializing from the surface,
 starting with the wounded and the two cylindrical lifeforms.
 <LTTC_Marcy> ::checks:: I don't even think they've started yet..sir.
 <LTTC_Marcy> Err, lagged transmission, transports commencing.. ;)
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The instant the two cylinders vanish, the one
 that was previously ignoring the Intel team turns, its weapons port
 beginning to glow.
