 Notes from the Captain:

 Welcome aboard to Archyyt, who joins us in the position of Marine
 Flight Leader, replacing Aggie's Craig Serrold character.  He did a
 good job this week, so let's go easy on him.  Maybe he'll stick
 around.  ;)  He might even stop threatening to have me killed so he
 can take over the sim.  ;)

 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 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 The Defenders implement their two-pronged attack plan.  Coronado,
 Renegade, and Churchill launch a feint attack into the Pearce
 system, destroying a relatively minor Pfhor Hegemony supply depot
 in the system.  The true reason for the attack in Pearce, however,
 is to draw Pfhor forces out of the nearby Honeycutt system, a major
 Pfhor shipyard, repair facility, and shore leave location.  While
 Coro, Renegade, and Churchill are in Pearce, the remaining bulk of
 the Defenders plan to enter Honeycutt and do as much damage as
 possible before the Pfhor realize the Defenders's true intentions...

 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.
 We have just finished the job of destroying the suppliy depot in the
 Pearce system; however, once the depot is destroyed, Lora Kor
 refuses to allow the three Defender ships to leave the system.  He
 explains that every minute we can remain in Pearce, and every Pfhor
 ship we can draw from Honeycutt, will give the main attack force
 more time to wreak havoc in Honeycutt.  As a result, Coro can do
 little but evade the monstrous destroyers of the Hegemony as her
 fighters try to keep Pfhor strike craft from swarming her.

 The three ships endure eleven minutes of this treatment, fighting
 back as best they can.  Quick false matter torpedo snapshots from
 the Defender vessels manage to destroy two Pfhor ships and disable a
 third, but the vast bulk of the Hegemony's starships remain until
 the first distress calls begin arriving from Honeycutt.  By the time
 the eleven minutes before this happens are over, all three of the
 Defender ships are heavily damaged, Renegade worst of all. 
 Coronado's sister frigate is transfixed on a Pfhor antiproton beam
 through her secondary hull, nearly destroying her.  It will likely
 be months before Renegade flies again.

 However, there is some good news: we are able to monitor the effects
 of the attack on the Honeycutt system in real time, thanks to the
 ansible, and it is clear that the attack there goes more or less as
 planned.  Before the Starfleet group is driven from Honeycutt, the
 Hegemony base there is all but destroyed.  In addition, the strength
 of the Pfhor distress calls from the system allow Commander Ma'Aru
 to finally isolate the frequencies the Pfhor use for long-range
 communications.  Lora Kor taunts the leader of the Pfhor forces in
 Pearce with this knowledge, and the knowledge of what is happening
 in Honeycutt.  Responding to their base's distress call, most of the
 destroyers return there.

 Coro, Renegade, and Churchill manage to destroy a third and forth
 Pfhor destroyer during the confusion, and heavily damage another,
 separating the ship from its docking facilities.  Once the system is
 clear of Pfhor warships, Lora Kor gives the ships one hour to clear
 the system.  Ironside uses the time to send Marines to the separated
 docking facility.  There, the Marines and Savant learn that the
 Pfhor strike craft are controlled from a single point source inside
 the docking bay, and probably by a lifeform that works from this
 location.  Meanwhile, Engineering and Medical teams from Churchill
 see to Renegade.

 Atlas tugs, escorted by Apori warships, arrive to take Renegade into
 tow an for a few scary moments, it looks as if the Will of the One
 might have hijacked the Starfleet frigate.  However, this turns out
 to be a breakdown in communications, something that the Defenders
 continue to have problems with between the forces of at least five
 very different cultures.  Ironside convinces Savant that the Pfhor
 docking bay is a prize worth removing from the system; Savant agrees
 and the Atlas tugs are called back to tow it out of the system, in
 cooperation with a squadron of Wraiths also modified for towing. 
 These Wraiths had been earlier seen towing a Pfhor ship out of the
 Honeycutt system.

 Once the system is clear, the Defender ships withdraw.  The day has
 not been without losses -- major ones -- but overall, it's a clear
 victory for Aldur and Theron's guerilla war.
