 Notes from the Captain:

 Hi all.  :)  I've added a couple of new sections to the "Logistics"
 section of the report.  A line at the top that looks like this:

 SUMMARY: Attendance 16/20 (3E) + 3 guests (6 after-simmers, 18 logs)

 will give Kahlia/Brad/Masters a quick summary for their subfleet
 report.  In this case, "Attendance 16/20" means that 16 of 20 Coro
 simmers made it this week.  "(3E)" means that of the 4/20 that
 didn't make it, three were "excused" or announced absences.  "+3
 guests" should be obvious.  ;)  "6 after-simmers" means that six
 people stayed to after-sim *the previous week*; unfortunately, I
 often don't get the after-sim log until the week after a given sim.
 And finally, "18 logs" should also be obvious.  Toward the bottom
 of the Logistics section, I've detailed those who attended the
 after-sim and those who wrote logs.

 Speaking of logs, let me say how really, REALLY impressed I was by
 the logs last week and the ones so far this week!  Many of you have
 obviously spent lots and lots of time thinking about your AU
 characters, and that definitely shows in the logs that you wrote! 
 Well done!  It took me an extra hour this week to do the sim report
 so I could go over all the logs in detail, but it was well worth it.
 :)  The number of logs was also very impressive; may as well see if
 we can give the so-called hybrids a run for their money...  ;)

 I've put Archyyt, aka 2Lt. Mikhail Petkovic, on a 4-week Leave of
 Absense in the hopes that I'll hear from him before then.  ;)

 See you all next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Articles of Faith", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 In the alternate universe, Tebrun Lora Kor, here the CEO of
 Whitestone Enterprises, flies himself and Mr. Dalton, his COO, to
 Reorsa.  The two have been invited to the planet for the signing of
 the Articles of Alliance.  En route, Dalton engages Lora Kor in a
 conversation about the company's future, and about a strange malaise
 that the Trill has been feeling of late...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 It was a busy time for the budding Alliance.  The signing ceremony
 was only 24 hours away, and ships from all over known space
 converged on Reor'sa.  Aboard were the dignitaries and diplomats
 that would be involved in the signing ceremonies, as well as
 Defender ships and select guests invited to participate in or
 witness the signing.  Among the Defender starships were both U.S.S.
 Coronado, R.S. Pegasus, and R.S. Vanquish; among the civilians, the
 CEO and COO of Whitestone Enterprises, Tebrun Lora Kor and Dalton.

 The latter two landed in Andalee and after reaching Fisher's
 Landing, almost immediately got to "work."  Work in this case
 involved attempting to recruit several Defender officers with
 particularly good technical skills who are eligible for retirement,
 such as Commander Jack C. Farley, Coronado's Chief Engineer.  They
 also had discussions with Zunite Oswald-Dejat, a civilian living on
 the planet, and Savant, Coronado's holographic interface.  After
 meeting with many of these, Lora Kor and Dalton adjourned to their
 hotel room to discuss tactics for recruiting these worthies.

 Meanwhile, only a few kilometers away, Vice Admiral Dev Wallace and
 General Jeremy Ironside discuss the problem of the post-war drawing
 down of the Defenders, and whether the two of them will remain part
 of the organization to train the next generation.  Ironside seems
 inclined to retire, weary of war and bloodshed, but Wallace remains
 enthusiastic.  The two part company when Wallace has to return to
 the public duties that go with his job.  Ironside remains to chat
 with his daughter and spend some time with his grandchildren before
 escorting Oswald-Dejat to her meeting with Dalton.

 Reminded of his responsibilities in this matter, Wallace attempted
 to contact both Commanders Farley and Dejat on Coronado.  He was
 initially unsuccessful, and spent some of the intervening time
 talking to Colonel Prescot and briefly to S'buuth about the problem.
 Eventually, he got through to both of them and to Commander Ma'Aru,
 offering all three promotions and new positions within the Defiant
 Fleet.  Dejat and Farley, in particular, were offered commands.

 Aboard Coronado, there were a number of issues being dealt with. 
 First, Doctor Thompson had some sort of an attack and attempted to
 force himself on Lieutenant Lauren Dyson; the CMO was taken into
 custody.  Commander Daren took the opportunity of some time off to
 head to the surface.  He eventually ended up in an Inn in Fisher's
 Landing with Captain Drexler, not coincidentally the exact one
 Lora Kor and Dalton were running their recruiting efforts from...

 Exchange of the Week: The whole sim!  But this sequence was cute.  :)
                       Four people take Savant seriously.
 <LTHL_D`rall> ::to Savant:: A simulation, yes. That much I can get
 from your user guides... but I can't help but wonder if somewhere in
 all those routines... wonder if you have feelings of your own.
 ::polite laugh:: I'm probably not making much sense, forgive me.
 <Mr_Dalton> Inn> ::a little upset:: First rule of any negotiation:
 you make sure you have more information than the other side, and you
 pull out when you find out that's no longer the case!
 <Savant> ::She cringed inwardly, drawing away for a moment... D`rall
 had unwittingly cut her to the quick:: There are no analysis
 techniques for finding out the truth in that matter, Ma'am. All I
 can offer is references to philosophy.
 <Tebrun_LoraKor> Inn> First rule in negotiating with a person,
 Dalton.  She -- it... it! -- was... well, I find this hard to
 credit, but it was bluffing!
 <Tebrun_LoraKor> Inn> There's no way to scan visual data from a
 voice-only public comm station.  She -- it -- could probably hear
 the etchings of the stylus on the PADD.
 <Tebrun_LoraKor> Inn> It was a test.  Looks like we've passed -- for
 the moment.  But I'm going to have to read up on this Savant. 
 Everything we can find.
 <Savant> ::Savant kept a watchful eye on the inn room on the planet,
 cheered somewhat by their analysis. The sensor camera in the corner
 winked it's iris in response::
 <Mr_Dalton> Inn> ::skeptical:: I doubt 'Fleeters teach their AIs to
 lie.  In any event, I think we should play it cool, and seem less
 interested.  Did you see that it sent me its entire operating manual?
 <LTen_Bentall> E> ::stares at his console for a moment: No one
 understands me. ::sighs heavily and picks up a PADD to log a report
 on the welding completion::
 <Savant> E> ::Savant fed an anonymous line to Bentall's terminal::
 "I understand you"
 <Tebrun_LoraKor> Inn> ::stops and blinks::  No, I didn't.  She did?
 <Mr_Dalton> Inn> ::shows Tebrun the PADD::
 <LTen_Bentall> E> ::blinks as a beep of an incoming text message on
 his console is heard, reading the message he sighs again:: Thanks
 Savant, at least that's one. ::goes back to his PADD::
 <Tebrun_LoraKor> Inn> ::laughs::  And you don't think she can lie?
