 Notes from the Captain:

 Welcome to the holiday season, at least in the U.S.  :)  I'm going
 to try to have Coro sims as many Mondays as possible the next eight
 weeks, but it's possible that there will be a week or two break in
 there somewhere.  If you have any strong opinions about whether
 there should or should not be sims on the 23rd and 30th of December,
 please let me know now so I can start planning for it.  ;)

 We've been a little lighter on logs this week than I would have
 expected for some reason.  If you need some information to complete
 a log, please don't hesitate to e-mail me about it, or catch me on
 IRC.  :)

 See you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "S'pht'kr", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 At Vice Admiral Aldur's orders, Coronado, Vanquish, and Masada are
 to remain within the Jjaro artifact known as Xanadu and continue our
 investigations of the interior.  At least some people were affected
 by the recent "incident," and there's no real way to know how far
 the effect spread outward from the asteroid...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Rear Admiral Lora Kor, in a pensive mood, walked to the ship's
 Arboretum, holding a conversation with Savant on the way down.  The
 Admiral made it clear that he had a somewhat speculative idea about
 how to get the location of Lh'owon, the S'pht's homeworld, though he
 didn't want to discuss the exact idea.  Instead, he asked Savant to
 get Kelaka ready to fly down to Alexandria, along with a team of
 anyone from the senior flag staff who might be interested in coming
 along.  Savant, Ma'Aru, and Drexler elected to follow Lora Kor to
 the surface, as did Colonel Ironside, who reminded Lora Kor that it
 was against regulations for him to go to the surface without an
 armed escort.

 Meanwhile, Commander Smith had a bit of a discipline problem:
 Commander Oswald.  After attempting without much great success to
 explain to her what being a senior officer is all about, he offered
 the young woman a compromise: an on-the-spot demotion for her
 insubordination in exchange for skipping what would likely be a
 disruptive and divisive court-martial.  Oswald accepted the
 compromise.  Meanwhile, the object of the argument, Commander Olme
 Tlaloco, continues to lie completely dormant in Coro's Sickbay,
 either in a coma or a sort of stasis that we do not yet understand.
 Commander Smith seemed relieved to have the problem dealt with for
 the moment, but was also disturbed at the fact that he completely
 lacks memories of the recent alternate universe "incident."

 Others, who do have memories of their other selves, did their best
 to try to integrate that new data into their understandings of
 themselves.  Particularly hard hit was Lauren Dyson, who carries
 memories of violence... violence committed by someone she has never
 even met in this timeline.  Lieutenant Vogel and her husband,
 Commander Dyson, did what they could to ease her suffering.  Smith,
 meanwhile, tried to come to terms with the fact that his alternate
 in the other timeline might very well be dead...

 Commander Farley, whose memories of the other timeline revolve
 around him being Chief Engineer, found himself acting as Chief
 Engineer in this timeline with Oswald's incarceration.  Among the
 first duties he had to learn: breaking in a new assistant engineer.
 Farley, so good with situations of a technical nature, now must find
 it within himself to deal with situations a little less precise...
 Lora Kor took his group to a military airfield in Alexandria where
 they brought one of the advanced fighter craft hangared there
 on-line... in essence, trying to learn the location of Lh'owon from
 the Jjaro themselves.  He first had to disconnect the fighter from
 Xanadu's communications system, to prevent Alicia from interfering.
 The Admiral and his team were eventually successful, and transmitted
 the navigational data to Coronado.

 Outside Xanadu, a large group of Pfhor ships broke the peace and
 quiet in the system, attacking the patrols outside the asteroid.  In
 the process, they revealed that they have reverse-engineered
 cloaking technology, probably from Reorsan patrol craft.  Masada
 exited the asteroid, followed by Vanquish and Coronado, who
 struggled to keep the Pfhor from entering Xanadu.  A few transports
 managed to slip within the asteroid; all were eventually destroyed,
 save for one which Coro towed to the asteroid's axis after great
 difficulty.  The battle was eventually won, with the help of several
 members of the Admiral's team, who managed to bring Alexandria's
 advanced weapons emplacements into the fight.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.  (Get out there and take a class!)


 Exchange of the Week: Zunite Oswald begins breaking in a new XO.  ;)
 <CRXO_Smith> Brig> Zunite, you have a real gift.  But you don't know
 how to use it in the Starfleet setting.  Not really.  Your training
 was incomplete, from what I can tell by your records.  You weren't
 ready for the burden that came with command.
 <CREN_Oswald> Brig> I have no trouble ordering people around sir...
 <CRXO_Smith> Brig> ::frowns:: That's not command.  Command is - it's
 more than that.  It's difficult for me to put into words because
 it's such a broad concept.  I don't know that I even really know
 myself.
 <CREN_Oswald> Brig>well that's just great... if anyone should know
 the definition of command it should be you....
 <CRXO_Smith> Brig> Command isn't just about giving orders.  It's
 about following them, as well.  It's about doing what is best for
 the Whole, not just for the Self.
 <CRXO_Smith> Brig> It's about inspiring and motivating.  It's taking
 the ideas of others and bringing them together into something new
 and wonderful.
 <CRXO_Smith> Brig> Commander Tlaloco could have information we need.
 That he's still not responding... we're not sure what that means.
 <CREN_Oswald> Brig>::starts looking a little bored, as if she's
 heard this before somewhere::
