 Notes from the Admiral:

 Last week, I wrote in my notes:
 Not very much that I can add to this one.  Sorry this report is a
 bit late, but I've been having e-mail troubles early in the week,
 followed by any number of distractions later in the week.  ;)
 Everyone did a great job with the actual sim, though!

 ::grins::  The same basic notes apply to this week as well, with the
 addition of something that I'm really impressed about.  I really
 doubt that many other sims could run a plot in which their
 characters are actively having difficulties with an aspect of their
 jobs, and make such a plot both believable and consistent with those
 same characters being good at every other aspect of their jobs.
 Very nicely done indeed.  :)

 As a reminder, Phishie, aka 1Lt. Natalia Petrovna, has requested a
 leave of absence for six weeks.  I have promised not to tease her
 about this, but I don't remember any of you making that promise, so
 feel free to tease her mercilessly about it.  ::snickers::

 See you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Under Construction", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Lora Kor and Commander Drexler discuss the problem on
 Micropolis.  In particular, Lora Kor takes Drexler into his
 confidence after learning that the Micropolis natives learned about
 Reor'sa from Marine Captain Craig Serrold.  In particular, there is
 good reason that they may have acquired Serrold's hatred of the
 Pfhor and their Hunter/Hound soldiers...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 The away team to the surface, having returned to Coronado, completed
 their debriefings.  With that done, Rear Admiral Lora Kor wondered
 aloud to Savant whether Captain Daren would lead a second mission to
 the surface to try and salvage the Micropolis contact.  Meanwhile,
 the rest of the Admiralty staff, including General Ironside,
 gathered in the CinC and brooded both about the failed mission, and
 the current poor morale and discipline aboard the frigate. 
 Commander Savant in particular seemed very unhappy about the turn of
 events and sought out Lora Kor to discuss them with him, as well. 
 Lora Kor told Savant that he couldn't recommend to Daren that Coro's
 Captain try the contact again, but Savant certainly could.  Savant
 met with Captain Daren to expedite this, with little effect.

 This left the Admiral with little choice but to meet with Captain
 Daren and express, officially, how unhappy he was with the result of
 the mission.  The Captain tried to put a good face on it, noting
 that the entire away team returned to the ship unharmed and while
 the Micropolis natives aren't our friends, at least they are not our
 enemies either.  The Admiral retorted, somewhat acidly, that though
 this result might be acceptable in the Milky Way, in M64, there are
 only a small handful of ships available to attempt to salvage the
 contact.  In short, he expects more from Coronado than an equivalent
 ship in the Milky Way.  He orders Captain Daren to put Coro's house
 in order, or, as he puts it, he "will be forced to reevaluate"
 Coronado's "command structure."  The Captain acknowledges this
 rather terse order.

 Commanders Smith and Reed, meanwhile, work in Cargo Bay Two with
 Olme Tlaloco and his son, Paqui.  The situation here is nearly as
 precarious, with very little resolved.  Paqui is still an enormous
 threat to Coronado.  In addition, Tlaloco shows evidence of being
 able to somehow receive telepathic "transmissions" while in stasis,
 something that the Doctor insists in the strongest possible voice is
 impossible -- time has stopped for Tlaloco, and that includes his
 brain.  However, the evidence is hard to refute, and Smith wonders
 whether it is possible to track these "transmissions" to their
 source, or at least learn what they might contain.

 The situation is only complicated all the more when Ensign Miller
 comes down to Cargo Bay Two and for reasons that are mysterious to
 say the least, attempts to kill Commander Tlaloco.  Miller is
 quickly restrained, but this only deepens the mystery surrounding
 Coro's Chief of Operations...

 Once Captain Daren and Rear Admiral Lora Kor finish their
 conversation and it is clear that Captain Daren is not interested in
 attempting to salvage the Micropolis contact, Lora Kor orders
 Coronado out of the Micropolis system and back to Reor'sa, pending
 further orders.  He then heads down to the CIC, worried and
 depressed that there simply isn't another ship that he can give the
 Micropolis mission to.  In the meantime, Coro's crew has to leave
 Micropolis knowing that they've not been successful here, and
 wondering what their next mission may bring...

 Exchange of the Week:
    A frank assessment of their former ship's Command staff...
 <LCS2_Ma`Aru> CIC> ::nods:: There are quite a few ships more capable
 of handling this situation. I'm glad to see there might be some
 chance of salvaging this mission.
 <CRS3_Savant> CIC> ::she exhaled and nodded at Kariasa:: Yes. But it
 pains me to see Coronado in these straits.
 <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> ::enters the CIC again, dropping down into the
 pit::
 <LCS2_Ma`Aru> CIC> ::shrugs:: With a tactical officer at CO and an
 over-zealous spook assisting him, what can you expect?
 <CRS3_Savant> CIC> ::Savant nodded:: I was hoping for more. I really
 was. I guess I feel a little more connection with the pride of this
 ship... I've been ehre longer than most, and It's a bit more of a
 home to me. I don't like seeing this happen. Not even if it's valid.
 <BGDC_Ironside> CIC> Given their Starfleet training, one would think
 a better performance than we saw.  ::in response to Ma`Aru's
 statement as he walks up to one of the holotables again::
 <CRS3_Savant> CIC> ::Without skipping a beat:: Exactly, General.
