 Notes from the Captain:

 Continued very nice role-playing from everyone!  :)  Not much I can
 add to this except keep up the good work!  We're going, as I
 mentioned, into the last few sims of the Pfhor plot...

 See you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "S'pht'kr", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Captain Daren briefs Rear Admiral Todd Marshall on his plan to use
 the Jjaro Catapult to reach Lh'owon... just as we remember doing in
 the alternate universe.  In the process, Daren reveals several of
 the limitations of the Catapult, notably that an exact location must
 be known and it is the use of the Catapult that causes the "ripples"
 in the singularity.  However, the ripples happen before one uses the
 Catapult, instead of after...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Commander Drexler, aboard the Pfhor transport recently captured by
 Coronado, contacts Rear Admiral Lora Kor to inform him that the ship
 is ready for operation.  After consulting with Drexler and Ironside,
 Lora Kor elects to send the ship to Lh'owon with Coronado, and
 orders Ironside to put a regiment aboard in case ground action is
 required there.  Lora Kor also asks that a second contingent of
 Marine ground troops be placed in Alexandria -- while the Catapult
 is in operation and the rift is open, that rift will be two-way. 
 Therefore, anything on the other side will have immediate access to
 the interior of Xanadu.  Ironside sees the need to defend
 Alexandria, but warns that our resources will be stretched thin.

 As he is doing this, Lora Kor has a simultaneous conversation with
 Commander Ma'Aru as he designs the defense of the Longshot system.
 Defending Xanadu is made easier by the fact that there are only two
 safe approaches to the asteroid and there are therefore only two
 corridors that require defending.  However, our recent discovery
 that the Pfhor have acquired and begun to use cloaking technology
 makes defending those corridors problematic.  Lora Kor virtually
 guarantees that at least some ships will reach the interior of the
 asteroid -- thus, the need for both defensive ships within the
 second chamber and the ground troops in Alexandria.  The Admiral
 orders Ma'Aru to research the Pfhor's cloaking capabilities and try
 to devise a defense.

 Coronado, meanwhile, relieves one of the Camelynian destroyers on
 the patrol line outside of Xanadu.  A constantly moving sphere of
 ships has been ordered outside the asteroid, partially to give us
 some extra warning of the approach of Pfhor ships, partially to
 bring Coro's LORASON sensors to bear outside the asteroid... and
 partially so that if the Pfhor DO appear, all of our ships are not
 trapped within the asteroid.  The patrol gives Ensign D'Rall
 something to do, especially when the ship detects something unusual
 nearby: a great many subspace distortions.

 The frigate approaches this odd phenomenon and discovers a very
 large number of semi-active Apori rift-gates.  These gates have the
 typical effect on Coro's warp drive system and anti-matter reaction;
 Apori propulsion is completely incompatible with Starfleet
 propulsion.  Engineering has a difficult time keeping the antimatter
 reaction stable until Coro pulls back somewhat.  The ship eventually
 finds four groups of such rift-gates.  Three Apori Will of the One
 escort ships soon appear, indicating that all is in readiness. 
 Apparently the Apori are planning a massive ambush into Xanadu
 space.  Lora Kor says that it was easy to bring the Will of the One
 over to our side now that we're likely to be in a "stand-up fight"
 with the Pfhor over Xanadu.  Still, the new allies warrant caution.

 When asked about all of the elaborate precautions, Lora Kor finally
 admits that the Defender Admiralty believes that at least some Pfhor
 might have knowledge of the alternate universe as well... and are
 using that knowledge to reinforce their garrison at Lh'owon and to
 prepare a massive strike on Xanadu itself.  Suddenly, our potential
 mission is all that much more dangerous.  Without the element of
 surprise, the Admiral admits the only thing we have going for us is
 speed and flexibility, and he is designing the Lh'owon team and the
 Xanadu defense fleet heavy on both...

 Exchange of the Week: Not exactly friendly allies, are they?
 <RAGC_LoraKor> Apori warship> +com+ All is in readiness.  Your
 additions to our ranks are most appreciated.  These ships have been
 chosen from among us to go unto the heart of the perversion and do
 great harm there.  Are these ships acceptable to you?
 <MJCC_Prescot> Nice change of affairs from trying to blow us out of
 the sky the last time we met them
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently:  Yellow Alert .
 <CRXO_Smith> ::mutters to Daren:: An entire fleet of Apori ships,
 and they want to know if they're acceptable to us for facing the
 Pfhor?  
 <ENHL_D`rall> ::chuckles:: At least they asked. They could have
 decided they needed to prove to us they were worthy.
 <CPCO_Daren> ::raises an eyebrow:: Don't we feel special?
