 Notes from the Admiral:

 A bit quieter sim this week, befitting the larger revelations and
 action of the last few weeks.  We'll be picking up speed again for
 the next few weeks; I hope the engineering and medical folks have
 your thinking caps on.  ::grins::

 A little note for Coronado senior officers, by which I mean those
 that get ops in #uss-coronado and other department heads.  Part and
 parcel of your position (and your ops, if you have them) is helping
 to explain situations to the other simmers, answer basic questions,
 and keep the other simmers involved.  For everyone else, please feel
 free to ask questions in #uss-coronado-ooc or message anyone with
 ops in #uss-coronado with situation-based questions.  I was pretty
 damn busy during this week's sim answering questions.  ;)

 See you all next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "The Fourth Chamber", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Tebrun Lora Kor has an intense dream, in which he is
 being trained for combat with primitive weapons by Vice Admiral
 Brian Aldur and General Jeremy Ironside.  At least, Lora Kor
 believes it's a dream...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 With the recent excitement slowly quieting down, Coronado's crew
 resumed their explorations of Xanadu's various chambers or their own
 personal projects.  Aboard Coronado, the only people truly busy were
 the engineers, putting the finishing touches on Coronado's
 antimatter transfer and storage systems before the hull and
 structure around these areas is rebuilt.  This was delicate work,
 but proceeded swiftly with Commander Farley in charge of it.  It did
 mean, however, that Coro herself was more or less off limits to the
 rest of the officers and crew.  Commander Ma'Aru, however, stayed
 aboard and kept Commander Farley company; the two talked subjects
 from the ship's condition to the "state of the Defenders"...

 Coro's shuttles were also being kept quite busy, with Captain Daren
 taking one, and Lieutenant D'rall the other, both shuttles involved
 in transporting people to Alexandria or other locations deeper in
 Xanadu.  Despite all of the unanswered questions about Xanadu,
 Captain Daren in particular voiced a desire to be away, out in space
 and moving again.  Lieutenant D'rall, meanwhile, proceeded with a
 bit of an unorthodox method for exploring the Second Chamber: after
 jogging around it for a bit, she commandeered one of the many
 vehicles abandoned by the Jjaro and used it to scout the area.  In
 the latter effort, she met with Doctor Reed, still trying to solve a
 number of mysteries about the Chamber's interior, particularly the
 significance of D'rall's earlier skeletal find.

 The Admiralty staff concerned themselves with more philosophical
 pursuits.  Though we've learned a stunning amount over the last few
 weeks, there hadn't been much time until this moment to try to pull
 all of it together and try to make some sense of it.  Savant also
 had another startling revelation of her own: she informed the staff
 that she has been somehow connected to a new source of information
 and talked calmly about events happening millions of light-years
 away... despite the fact that she has no way that we'd know of to
 know the information she revealed.  General Ironside and Rear
 Admiral Lora Kor also revealed that they are having a very similar
 dream, in which a doppleganger of the General was training the two
 men for battle.  Though the two men's dreams differed in some
 details, they were the same in basic form.  The group speculated on
 whether Ironside is projecting his dreams somehow, or if Lora Kor is
 picking up on them.

 This was not the only unusual happening in the Fourth Chamber, where
 the Admiralty Staff was.  Both Commander Drexler and Major Prescot
 reported "boojum sightings": the feeling that they (or in Drexler's
 case, General Ironside) were being watched or followed.  Both
 Drexler and Prescot caught sight of the apparitions out of the
 corner of their eye, but could not get a close look at the
 phenomenon when they looked it it directly.  There have been dozens
 of such boojum sightings since we entered Xanadu, and they are still
 unexplained.

 With only another week or so before Coronado's repairs are
 completed, it is likely that the frigate will soon have another
 mission assigned.  This leaves us with very little time remaining to
 finish our explorations of Xanadu for the time being.  With this in
 mind, Rear Admiral Lora Kor announced his intention to proceed
 deeper into the Fourth Chamber and have a look at one of the
 "probability stacks" that the Expedition Two team reported are a
 major part of the geography of the Fourth Chamber.  He also
 announced that he has a theory: while the Expedition Two team
 reported that time doesn't operate properly in the vicinity of the
 stacks, Lora Kor advocated an alternate theory: the fact that it's
 entropy, and not time, that is disrupted...
