 Notes from the Admiral:

 You never quite know how a Coronado sim is going to end, do you?  ;)
 Nice work this week, everyone!

 The next episode was written by Brad, aka Commander Sieven Drexler,
 and offers a chance to slow things down a little and get back into a
 character development mode, at least for a while.  ;)  Brad will be
 running parts two and three of that episode, but I'll get things
 started on Monday.

 See you next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "The Thousand Ships", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 83 years in the future -- or is it thousands of years in the past?
 -- Captain Walker Kile considers the very bad position the fleet
 with him is in.  Passing through the exodus hypergate has trapped 88
 starships and the asteroid-starship Xanadu tens of thousands of
 years in the past.  The ships have little choice, however, but to
 proceed on to the M64 Galaxy...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coro's crew has completed a false matter shielded probe.  The probe
 is armed with the holographic message programmed by Rear Admiral
 Lora Kor and prepared for launch.  Coronado plans to slip close
 enough to the planet to launch the probe, which hopefully will not
 be destroyed by the Traxati in the process.  Lt. Commander Dyson has
 determined that the Traxati can detect any object in their space
 that creates a gravity well, and use this ability for targeting.

 Since the probe is completely surrounded by its false matter shield,
 it is in effect "cloaked" from this sort of detection and Coro
 manages to slip the probe into orbit of Enigma without the probe
 being detected.  Coro herself is not nearly so lucky -- she comes
 under immediate and ferocious attack from a large number of weapon
 probes.  At first, though certainly distracting, the attack seems
 more or less routine: Coro's own false matter shields protect her
 from the Traxati weapons.

 However, the false matter shields were never intended for an all-
 around defense: Coronado does not have the power necessary for this
 sort of defense -- no starship does.  Coro is also late getting
 weapons charged and into the fight and as a result, the frigate is
 soon badly surrounded.  Eventually, one of the tiny neutronium
 needles penetrates and enters Coro.  The needle does only moderate
 damage in and of itself but in the midst of this penetration,
 Captain Daren orders Coronado to warp to escape the remaining
 Traxati weapon-probes.

 This turns out to be a disaster.  The needle, though small, is made
 of neutronium and cannot be contained in Coro's warp field.  As a
 result, Coro goes to warp leaving the needle behind -- but not
 before the needle exits the ship with catastrophic and explosive
 force, virtually destroying deck 20 in the process. The entire deck
 is sealed off, but this introduces two new dangers.  First, Coro's
 antimatter bottles are stored on deck 20 and the needle only just
 misses penetrating one of them.  What the needles DO penetrate is
 one of the feed lines leading from the bottles to the antimatter
 injector in Engineering.

 As a result, the antimatter injector shuts down, bringing Coro from
 warp, and the ship's safety protocols engage, sealing off the
 antimatter line leak and shutting down main power.  The damage is
 safely isolated, but without main power or the ability to escape a
 second Traxati if needed, the mission is over.  A team had boarded
 Kelaka to activate the holographic probe, but Rear Admiral Lora Kor
 orders the team back to Coro until the frigate can be repaired
 sufficiently to at least run away if the Traxati react badly to the
 probe.  Reluctantly, the Kelaka team comes home and repairs to
 Coronado begin.
