 Notes from the Captain:

 The only problem with a complex sim like Coro is writing the sim
 reports.  They can get rather long and involved.  ;)

 I have this week accepted with regret Archyyt's resignation.  While
 he disputes the circumstances of his removal from UCIP, he
 apparently has no interest in fighting it.  He also made it clear
 that he will be looking for another group to apply his simming
 skills in.  I for one wish him well and hope you will too.  :/  See
 you around, AA...

 See the rest of you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Articles of Faith", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 On the Spindle, two Ĉon discuss a "tear" that has formed on one of
 the "spools" that they guard.  One of the Ĉon blames the tear on
 beings in the spool that can indirectly touch the threads on the
 Spindle -- in other words, knowingly or unknowingly affect all of
 spacetime for their universe.  The tear prevents the two Ĉon from
 interfering directly, and places the spool at risk of destruction. 
 Since they cannot assist directly, the two decide to intervene
 "uptime" of the tear...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 In a preliminary to what are likely to be many changes related to
 the signing of the Articles of Alliance, Vice Admiral Wallace is
 promoted and selected to replace Charlie Theron as the new Supreme
 Commander of the Defender space forces.  The Admiral gives a speech
 which seems to be bland generalities, but focuses on the point that
 it is his belief that the Defenders are more important in peacetime
 than ever...  Many listen to Wallace's speech in person, or aboard
 Defender starships, including Coronado.

 As these events are happening, Tebrun Lora Kor is meeting with
 Savant on the planet.  The Trill businessman asks Savant's opinion
 on a number of technical subjects before broaching what is almost
 certainly the real topic of conversation on his mind: whether Savant
 can be recruited into Whitestone.  Savant seems eager enough for
 this opportunity, and the two conclude a handshake agreement.  Lora
 Kor promises to do what he can to establish the avatar's legal
 rights as Coronado heads for her decommissioning.  Just as the two
 complete their agreement, they are interrupted by Wallace, who is
 looking for Captain Drexler, and wants to know if Lora Kor has ever
 been aboard Coronado.

 Savant, meanwhile, is simultaneously conversing with Lt. Jarod
 Bentall, in Coronado's brig, and assisting in ship operations. 
 Also aboard ship, a JAG officer convenes the rape and assault trial
 of Jason Thompson.  However, the trial is interrupted in mid-
 testimony when Thompson disappears without a trace.  He isn't the
 only one; a number of other Coronado crew members also disappear, as
 well as crew on other Defender ships and facilities.  The
 disappearances seem to be concurrent with a "ripple" of sorts
 nearby.  Soon, a significant percentage of Coro's crew is missing.

 These disappearances spread and become more dangerous and
 frightening, entire ships and facilities -- including an entire
 shipyards and colony -- vanishing.  Wallace returns to Pegasus just
 as Pegasus herself vanishes, leaving Wallace and dozens of others
 stranded in space.  While Coro rescues the survivors, other ships
 move to rescue those few left in space when other ships and
 facilities vanish.  Savant convinces Lora Kor to get back to his own
 transport and when the Trill launches it, his transport also
 disappears.  Both Lora Kor and Wallace are beamed to Coronado.

 Aboard Coro, Captain Drexler is haunted by memories of an alternate
 life, one in which he is not Commanding Officer of Coronado.  He
 does his best to convince others of what he is experiencing; his
 story is quickly made more believable by the unexplainable
 disappearances.  Drexler turns Coronado toward Xanadu, an asteroid
 relic that is the site of his last remembrances in these alternate
 memories...

 SUMMARY: Attendance 18/20 (1E) + 1 guest (11 after-simmers, 10 logs)

 U.S.S. Coronado Complement Changes:
    2nd Lieutenant Anthony Archyyt, resigned from Starfleet.

 Promotions:
    None this week.

 Recognitions:
    None this week.

 Academy Completions:
    Lieutenant Lauren Dyson
       Academy Science Course (100%)
          An outstanding score on what can be an extremely difficult
          Academy course!  Well done, Natty!  :)


 Exchange of the Week: Apparently, when you flirt, the evidence is
                       left in the cells of your hair-- huh?  ;)
 <[LCSIDyson]> ::Isamu runs the test data against the Time frame in
 the video evidence and the hair folicles match the frames
 completley::
 <|LCJAG_Vogel|> ::stands up:: The age of the hair is also
 irrelevant. It is probable that Thompson and Dyson had some sort of
 incidential contact that day, from Dyson's flirtations with
 Thompson, as the defense will endeavour to show. The transmittance
 of hair follicles could have happened in any number of ways.
 <|LCJAG_Vogel|> ::sits down and chuckles slyly::
 <|Ltdr_Dyson|> I -I didnt fl...flirt! ::starts sobbing, tears
 streaming down her cheeks::
 <[LCSIDyson]> ::He stood up:: when the hair folicle is removed from
 the cell that gives it life your honor the cell undergoes mitosis
 this process is a natural process with all cells yes theres the
 possiblity but once a cell dies the cell dies and the imprint is
 left with out the trace flirting howevor is not the question here 
 <|LCJAG_Vogel|> The defense does not despite that the hair follicle
 left the bald scalp of Thompson only that the circumstances which
 the prosecution is giving is a clever but false "spin" of what
 really happened.
