 Notes from the Admiral:

 Once again, I'm writing a sim report at 37,000 feet.  ;)  And once
 again, you guys turned in an excellent sim.  Nice work!  I'm told
 that we're once again in Bergen contention.  Who knows, though: this
 sequence's version of the recognition might be called "Bergen Award
 for best sims in UCIP not called U.S.S. Coronado".  ::grins::

 I again had a very difficult time with this week's sim summary. 
 There was such a wealth of stuff going on (the transcript is 140K,
 which from 14 people that were there for the full sim is a LOT) that
 I really encourage everyone who wasn't able to follow the full sim
 to go back and read the trascripts for the pieces you missed.  :)

 See you all next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "The Fourth Chamber", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Dev Wallace and his team worked to evacuate the Second
 Chamber after Colonel Wayne inadvertently attempted to activate the
 Catapult.  While this was routine for most of the Chamber's
 occupants, it was a bit more difficult for a few groups, notably a
 contingent of Marines Colonel Ironside was leading toward the Third
 Chamber.  Wallace's work, however, was interrupted by the arrival
 of Rear Admiral Lora Kor.  Lora Kor, bringing three support ships
 with him, also brought orders for Admiral Wallace to stand down
 from his command of Xanadu...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 With the arrival of Rear Admiral Lora Kor and three starships, the
 personnel still hiding in Xanadu's Second Chamber became a lot more
 bold.  Colonel Ironside was the best example: having already
 commandeered a convoy of vehicles from Alexandria, he and the troops
 with him proceeded toward the Third Chamber tunnel entrance.  This
 tactic had the benefit of directness, but it also made him quite
 obvious to spotters on the zero-G axis.  As a result, a pair of
 Marine tanks were waiting for him at the Third Chamber tunnel, as
 well as a number of entrenched troops.  However, these troops were
 not Marines but rather elements of the "7th Reorsan Security" force
 -- people that Ironside had no influence over.

 However, Admiral Wallace's spotters weren't the only forces on the
 zero-G axis.  Leaving two Defiant II class escorts to take control
 of Alexandria's docking platform, Lora Kor took Kelaka and the
 Marine transport Douglas MacArthur to Ironside's position and beamed
 him down some support in the form of the 3rd Battallion, 1st
 Marines.  Meanwhile, unheard by those on the "ground," Lora Kor,
 Wallace, and Vice Admiral Brian Aldur discussed Wallace's stand down
 order.  Savant was able to monitor this conversation and relay key
 points to the teams at the surface level, right up to the point
 where Wallace agreed to stand down and ordered the troops following
 him to do the same.  This gave the Marines with Ironside free rein
 to take control of the two tanks and other vehicles as the Reorsan
 Security forces surrendered them.

 With the situation at the Third Chamber tunnel stabilized, Rear
 Admiral Lora Kor ordered his staff to rally aboard the gig and
 announced his intention to proceed through the Third Chamber into
 the Fourth.  As the staff assembled, he was philosophical with
 Savant, noting that Wallace was essentially correct in his actions:
 without the massive, far-flung Starfleet, the Defenders will have to
 be much more straightforward and direct about defending their
 holdings.  The Pfhor proved that in M64, we do not have the luxury
 of trading space for time and we must therefore be much more
 proactive in our defensive techniques.  Soon, the Admiralty staff,
 including General Ironside, had gathered on Kelaka and the gig
 proceeded into the Third Chamber.  Far below, the group originally
 with Ironside commandeered sufficient vehicles (including a tank) to
 follow the runabout at surface level.

 Passing through the Third Chamber at surface level was relatively
 routine but flying through proved very difficult.  The split
 singularities are one complication, but an even greater danger are
 the multiple energy fields criss-crossing the chamber.  Lora Kor got
 Kelaka through safely with some difficulty only to find that flying
 in the Fourth Chamber is possibly even more dangerous.  Past 61
 kilometers, one's perceptions are altered and simply maintaining a
 straight course was difficult.  Lora Kor, however, was determined to
 proceed out to 300 kilometers, near the "wall" that apparently
 separates the garden area of the Fourth Chamber from the area known
 as No Man's Land.  The Admiral managed to land Kelaka safely, but it
 took every bit of his experience to do so -- near surface level, the
 cylinder surface seems increasingly dangerous -- like a never-ending
 wall -- and Kelaka seemed in danger of crashing.

 The Fourth Chamber team's difficulties were more amusing at ground
 level.  Commander Marcy, piloting one of the ground vehicles, drove
 off the road into a bush thanks to his altered perception of where
 the road was.  Not taking the hint, he got the vehicle back on the
 road only to nearly collide with a large tree.  Obviously, the
 Fourth Chamber takes some getting used to.  This was nowhere more
 evident than at the "wall," where the team with the Admiral left the
 gig to take a look into No Man's Land.  Few of the team lasted more
 than a few minutes, and their reactions were varied, from borderline
 nausea to giddyness...  Clearly that area is going to take some
 getting used to as well.
