 Notes from the Captain:

 Hi all.  :)  Very short notes this week, as I'm running late on
 getting this report out.

 An excellent episode, though!  Lots of very good character work, and
 I especially look forward to seeing how your characters react to
 this particular set of events.  ;)  I've also been quite impressed
 with the number and quality of logs lately.  Keep it up!  :)

 See you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Masquerade"  ("Articles of Faith", Part 3)

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Commander Isamu briefs Commander Daren on an expanding sphere of
 destruction... a ripple in space-time that certainly caused the
 recent disappearances, and promises to do even worse.  The second
 wave of the effect will destroy subspace, rendering warp and
 slipstream travel impossible; the third wave will destroy all life. 
 When Daren asks where the wave came from, Isamu is able to pinpoint
 it to a small area in the Milky Way Galaxy... in 2378.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado approached the Longshot system, in the hopes that the
 Captain and crew's memories of the other timeline are accurate, and
 in that other timeline, the problem apparently begun aboard the
 other timeline's Coronado can be solved by this one.  In the
 meantime, many aboard continued to recover from abrupt rescues from
 dangerous situations.  The disappearances of people and ships were
 caused by some sort of "displacement wave"; the wave created a
 number of dangers.  The dangers suffered by Admiral Wallace and
 Tebrun Lora Kor were typical: both were stranded in life-threatening
 situations when their ships disappeared, Wallace in vacuum in orbit
 of Reor, Lora Kor in mid-air above the surface of the planet.  Both,
 among others, were beamed aboard Coro.

 One of the others was Zunite Oswald-Dejat, who wasted no time
 heading for Coronado's engineering spaces to offer her "assistance."
 Wallace, meanwhile, met with Captain Drexler to attempt to
 understand why the Longshot object might be so important.  After
 attempting to explain his situation to the Admiral, Drexler called a
 meeting of Coronado's senior staff to discuss his thoughts. 
 Surprisingly, Drexler asked that several non-Coronado personnel
 including Lora Kor and his associate Dalton be invited to the
 meeting; Drexler seemed to feel that their presence would be
 important.  Once the meeting was called, Drexler explained to the
 others what he believed he knew about the "other" timeline...
 including his belief that the other timeline might be the "correct"
 one.

 This view was obviously quite controversial, particularly among
 those whose lives followed dramatically different paths in the other
 timeline.  However, as the meeting progressed and Coro's distance
 from Xanadu decreased, more and more aboard began to remember
 snippets and details about their other existence.  Though many could
 and did object to the idea, soon few aboard could dispute that
 Drexler had a point.  The two that objected the most were Dalton --
 who believed the whole thing to be some sort of Starfleet trick --
 and surprisingly, Lora Kor himself, who rejected his "other" self as
 little better than a killer or at best, someone playing God with the
 lives in his hands.

 Ironside did what he could to convince Lora Kor that any decisions
 made by his alternate were no doubt necessary to save as many lives
 as possible... but he was also quick to point out that Coro was
 running out of time, and out of options.  The ship reached Xanadu to
 find it uninhabited -- the research teams normally assigned there
 were gone, no doubt vanished -- and Captain Drexler put together a
 team to enter the control room which he believed was at least some
 of the cause of the problem.  In an attempt to make the conditions
 as equivalent as possible to the "other" timeline, a group composed
 of both Coro officers, Lora Kor, and others went into the control
 room.

 Dalton took this as his chance and took over U.S.S. Coronado,
 killing or disabling several of the crew in the process.  He then
 turned the frigate's weapons on the control room, apparently trying
 to destroy the team there before they could successfully undo the
 damage.  Commander Daren, beamed to R.S. Vanquish a few minutes
 prior, faced a difficult decision and soon had no choice but to turn
 the escort's weapons on Coronado.  Commander Farley reached a second
 control room and reached the same conclusion, using the weapons
 emplacements in Alexandria.  These weapon emplacements combined with
 fire from Vanquish and other vessels eventually crippled and
 destroyed Coro.  Soon after, through fate, coincidence, or perhaps
 their or the team's actions, the timeline reset itself, returning
 history to its proper course.

 Exchange of the Week: I've been waiting to say this line for YEARS. ;)
 <Tebrun_LoraKor> 7> ::turns to Dalton::  You're welcome to remain
 here if you want... or...?  ::indicates the door::
 <Savant> 7> ::She grinned:: The wardroom has been catered by our
 very own Ms Bourdeux in fact.
 <Dalton> 7> I'm sure your captain can save the universe, or
 whatever, without us -- ::looks at Tebrun mid-sentence::
 <p1bt_Bourdeux> 7> ::laughs:: not a problem ::goes to bring back the
