 Notes from the Captain:

 Going to keep things to a minimum this week, as I am once again
 running late.  ;-)  Gotta love late fall weekends in Colorado.  I
 spent half of yesterday raking leaves, and a quarter of today
 shovelling snow and salting my drive- and walkways...
 
 The problems with the log system (see earlier e-mail) certainly
 didn't help...
 
 We bid farewell to Thompson, aka Jason Vogel, who is finding himself
 bogged down with the many sims he attends and his many UCIP and
 real-life responsibilities and as a result, resigned from virtually
 all of his sims except one.  For reasons that I can't completely
 understand, that one *wasn't* Coro.  ;-)  Ah well.  Here's hoping
 the burn-out doesn't last long, Thompson!
 
 rev, where are you?  You alive?  ;-)
 
 See you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "S'pht'kr", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Tebrun Lora Kor frets over his defensive plans for the
 Longshot system and the Jjaro artifact known as Xanadu.  While the
 defenses seem sound, and should be good to stop even an extremely
 large assault on the system, Lora Kor is worried that the Pfhor will
 strike with overwhelming forces.  Late in ship's night, he convinces
 Savant to accompany him to a secret location where the Admiral hopes
 to recruit additional allies...
 
 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Captain Daren called a meeting of his senior staff to discuss
 activating the Jjaro Catapult.  We know the effects of the Catapult:
 near-instantaneous transport to virtually any location that we can
 specify precisely enough.  However, what we don't know is precisely
 how to activate or program the device.  A team is put together to
 determine this and headed for the Catapult control room.
 
 In the meantime, what Coronado should do once she reaches Lh'owon
 was the subject of another discussion.  It is increasingly possible
 that if the Pfhor haven't garrisoned the system already, that
 they're about to.  As a result, the Marines will embark aboard the
 Pfhor transport Absalom.  It is Absalom that will be sent into the
 system first, partially to scout aboard an innocuous platform,
 partially to put a full Regiment on Lh'owon in case the Pfhor
 already hold the planet.
 
 While Coronado herself will be going to Lh'owon, Admiral Lora Kor
 determines that his place is on the other side of the Catapult,
 defending Longshot and Xanadu.  To this end, he finalized his
 defense plans, then revealed to Commanders Drexler and Ma'Aru that
 he will be leaving the system for several hours in order to
 potentially recruit additional allies.  He also briefed the
 Whitestone staff on a worrisome mystery: explosions have taken
 place aboard two Defender vessels... quite possibly sabotage.
 
 Commander Drexler will hold the fort in Longshot, while Commander
 Ma'Aru both investigates the explosions and further refines the
 system's defense plan against cloak-capable vessels.  Lora Kor then
 brought Drexler and Ma'Aru to a meeting with Captain Daren.  At that
 meeting, the Admiral informed Daren that should Xandu be in danger
 of falling to the Pfhor, Lora Kor will order the facility
 destroyed... with Coronado on the far side of the Catapult if need
 be.  He stressed that he cannot allow Xanadu to be captured by the
 Pfhor, who are masters at reverse-engineering advanced technology.
 
 The Admiral then boarded Kelaka and prepared to depart, with Savant
 as virtual co-pilot.  Coronado and her group (including Absalom)
 proceeded to the Catapult, which has since been activated.  Colonel
 Wayne's Raptors Squadron is the first group through, to scout the
 other side.  They soon reported that the Catapult operated
 successfully... but that Colonel Wayne himself was apparently
 rendered unconscious by the journey.  Coro's officers had no time to
 consider this: the frigate was drawn into the Catapult soon after,
 with the rest of her group trailing.

 SUMMARY: Attendance 17/19 (0E) + 0 guests (0 after-simmers, 8 logs)
 
 U.S.S. Coronado Complement Changes:
    Lieutenant Jason Vogel, retired from Starfleet.
 
 Promotions:
    None this week.
 
 Recognitions:
    None this week.
 
 Academy Completions:
    None this week.  (Get out there and take a class!)
 
 
 Exchange of the Week: Savant, Negotiator-Hologram.
 <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  If we could tap Xanadu's power source, we could
 possibly generate an intense particle sweep.  I would recommend an
 EMP, but I don't want to risk shutting our ships down, too.
 <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> Would that work even through the radiation field?
 <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::becomes quiet in response to the admiral's
 rebuttal, thinking of options::
 <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::glances at Drexler::  It's a question, not a
 critique.
 <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  It's a good question, sir.  I think it might
 limit us to where we can scan, and with what manner of scan we use.
 <CDS3_Savant> CIC> The idea has potential, definitely. The unique
 location of this facility means that any cloaking attempts are
 fragile at best. Any change in radiation levels would reveal them to
 us.
 <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  ::nods:: But like Savant said, maybe we can use
 the radiation to our advantage.
 <RAGC_LoraKor> CIC> ::nods::  Could Alicia be talked into helping us
 with something like that?  Or would she say we needed Nexus
 authorization?  ::grimaces::
 <CRS1_Drexler> CIC>  With the right sales pitch... ::glances at
 Savant::
 <CDS3_Savant> CIC> ::She beamed widely in responce::
