 Notes from the Admiral:

 VERY nice sim, everyone!  :)  I keep claiming I'm going to try to
 cut down the length of the sim summaries, but you guys make that
 completely impossible.  There was far too much going on, nearly all
 of it important to the long-term story line that I essentially ended
 up copying this entire sim transcript into the summary. 
 ::chuckles::  I then tried to cut it down and was partially
 successful, but it's still pretty damned long.  ;)

 You're definitely making up for lost time.  ;)  Keep it up!

 Anybody else notice we had 12 observers last week?  Sheesh!

 See you all next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Crowded House", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Dr. Patricia Luisa Lopez learns the secret of Xanadu's Fourth
 Chamber: it appears to go on forever.  In learning this, she learns
 something even more disturbing: in "most" of the Fourth Chamber,
 normal physics appears to be meaningless, and in parts of the Fourth
 Chamber... time itself appears to be meaningless!

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado's crew finally realized they had an amazing artifact at
 their disposal: the millenia-old city of Alexandria that lies at the
 center of the asteroid-starship Xanadu.  Many of the crew took the
 opportunity to leave the docked Coronado, and proceeded to the
 "surface" of the Second Chamber to begin exploring this rather large
 Jjaro artifact.  Those few that remained aboard Coro were dealing
 with a somewhat more prosaic but still interesting mystery.  Rear
 Admiral Lora Kor has always been an insomniac, but now he was an
 insomniac with a ship.  Sometime very early in the ship's morning,
 he left Coronado aboard the Admiral's Gig Kelaka, not giving any
 indication of his destination or the purpose of his trip.

 Meanwhile, within Alexandria, teams fanned out trying to learn some
 of the mysteries that surround the ancient city.  Lieutenants
 ch'Thane and D'rall entered one of the enormous housing facilities
 to find it surprisingly similar to a large apartment building on any
 Federation colony planet.  The major difference is that other than
 the main structural bracing walls, every internal wall and feature
 appeared to be holographic.  Entering one apartment, they found this
 system on the verge of failure: the furniture, decorations, and even
 the internal walls seemed to flicker in and out.  There was mute
 evidence that this building had been invaded at some point in the
 distant past; suits of the combat armor we have discovered elsewhere
 were present, as were the ancient skeletons of those that weren't
 protected... including children that lived in the building.

 General Ironside took a group to the projectors of the enormous
 cylindrical "dome" that surrounds the city to try to learn more
 about it, and possibly the attack that was a key point in
 Alexandria's history.  There, Ironside's team made a startling
 discovery: the dome is in fact false matter and therefore reliant on
 the mathematics of the shape programmed into the system... and the
 enormous gaping holes in the dome were part of the math.  That
 raised some very interesting philosophical questions about how or
 why the math in the projectors was altered.  This team further
 discovered that the Jjaro math governing false matter is very
 different from ours: the structure of the Jjaro false matter is more
 "solid" than ours, not only blocking matter but apparently blocking
 specific types and forms of energy as well.  Ironside downloaded
 these equations for testing on Coro's false matter shielding system.

 The General also summoned Alicia to try to get some answers, and
 ended up having a very frustrating conversation with her.  Alicia
 was either unable or unwilling to say how the false matter dome's
 mathematics had been altered, but did at least specify the who:
 something or someone called the "Jarts."  She further specified that
 it was the Jarts that attacked Alexandria in the distant past, but
 could or would not specify why.  She was able to say that the Jarts
 are "without form" and that even the name "Jart" is the name given
 to this species by others, not their own name for themselves.  A
 picture began to emerge of a panicky, disorganized flight from
 Alexandria as the Jjaro attempted to evacuate their citizens in the
 face of this attack.  The skeletons and destroyed combat armor
 testified that this evacuation was not without heavy losses, as did
 the very damage to the dome itself.

 General Ironside was not the only person engaged in a frustrating
 conversation with Alicia.  Commander Tal also attempted to get some
 answers from Alexandria's avatar, and though she also learned some
 things, she also came upon several strange "blocks" in Alicia's
 memory -- things about which Alicia was apparently being prevented
 from speaking of.  Frustratingly, this included the nature of the
 Fourth Chamber and to where Alexandria was evacuated.  Assuming at
 least some of the Jjaro did survive the attack, we have no way of
 knowing where they went.  However, Tal did discover the existence of
 something called "City Memory," which apparently contains the
 memories of some of the citizens of Alexandria from the ancient
 past... and at least one new set of memories added to City Memory
 only days before...

 The explorations, however, were cut short when Colonel Masters,
 while exploring the "crystal spire" control room, apparently nearly
 set off another Catapult activation.  This partial activation could
 be felt throughout Xanadu, and drew a furious response from Rear
 Admiral Dev Wallace.  The Admiral quickly demanded that everyone not
 on "his team" evacuate Xanadu immediately...
