 Notes from the Admiral:

 Not much to say about this one, other than everyone should keep an
 eye on all the plots and subplots (hint hint).  ;)

 See you all next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Spindle", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Tebrun Lora Kor reaches the Spindle... and realizes that he
 recognizes one of the residents.  In the process, he hears voices
 from one end of the thread and the other...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 The crew dealt with the aftermath of Rear Admiral Lora Kor's
 disappearance, starting in Engineering where he disappeared. 
 Several of the officers gathered there to look for clues to the
 disappearance while Dr. Reed took samples to determine whether Lora
 Kor could have simply been disintegrated rather than disappear.  His
 findings were inconclusive, but he did find evidence supporting the
 fact that Lora Kor was in fact at the heart of whatever the
 phenomenon was.

 Several of the crew were experiencing odd phenomonen, however.  Lt.
 Colonel Wayne, aboard one of the Raptors, turned to consult his
 helmsman about something... only to find that his helmsman was
 missing, replaced by a man he didn't know.  The Colonel had to be
 convinced at length that this particular helmsman had been serving
 under him for at least a year, though the Colonel didn't remember
 him.  In much the same way, both Colonel Ironside and Lieutenant
 D'rall noted aspects of the ship that seemed unfamiliar in striking
 ways.  Dr. Reed eventually examined all three officers to find
 differences between their "biochemical signatures" and the supposed
 systems of their birth.  The signatures do not match, leading to the
 conclusion that those three officers are not from the planets on
 record for them... which is impossible.

 Ensign Kingswell, meanwhile, struck upon the idea of replaying the
 accident in the holodeck, at a greatly reduced speed and with the
 results of both the internal and external sensors as part of the
 display.  At first, this appeared to be a dead end.  Even looking at
 the playback at one-quarter speed, Kingswell couldn't see any
 anomalies.  During this investigation, Captain Daren entered the
 holodeck to transfer the external sensor results and Kingswell
 decided to freeze the simulation at the exact moment of Lora Kor's
 disappearance with this new data.  This produced a startling image:
 Lora Kor sheathed in lightning... but with a half-meter sphere of
 lightning hovering over his head.  Kingswell turned toward trying to
 determine what this apparition might be.

 Savant monitored this hologram and noted the similarities between
 the frozen image and an image in her head: the image of Jeremy
 Ironside also ringed in lightning, possibly dying.  This seemed
 impossible, as Ironside is decidedly not dead.  It wasn't until
 Savant saw the half-meter sphere of lightning in Kingswell's
 hologram that she realized that her own image of Ironside frozen in
 time also looked more "complete" with his own sphere of lightning. 
 Though the image still seems off in a few details, Savant now felt
 like she had a more or less complete vision... but what does the
 vision mean?

 Both Savant and General Ironside attempted to engage Alicia in
 conversation about this matter, but found that Alicia was "busy"
 with the aftermath of the disruption to the singularities and
 couldn't... or wouldn't respond to many specific questions...

 SUMMARY: Attendance 15/20 (4E) + 1 guest (1 after-simmers, 6 logs)

 U.S.S. Coronado Complement Changes:
    None this week.

 Promotions:
    None this week.

 Recognitions:
    Golden Nebula
       Commander Sieven Drexler
       Commander Kariasa Ma'Aru
          For oustanding dedication, attendance, and role-playing in
          more than two years of simming aboard U.S.S. Coronado.
          Thank you for your exemplary work, Kari and Brad!

    Galaxy Cluster
       Captain William Daren
          For exemplary long-term dedication to Starfleet and UCIP,
          including more than 150 sims served aboard Coronado.  Keep
          up the good work, Captain Daren!  :)

    Nova Cross for Merit
       Commander Sieven Drexler aka Brad (OOC)
          Brad has been breaking his hump in helping me run Omicron
          fleet and its something that I appreciate alot.  In so
          doing he gets to kick me in the arse and have some fun
          doing it when I make mistakes and such...  (Capt. Masters)

    Star Cross for Merit
       Rear Admiral Tebrun Lora Kor aka Jester (OOC)
          It is my pleasure to remind you that when you run a sim
          that you must 'conform' to the rules.  In doing so, I doubt
          that the Coronado would have won its second Orion Award but
          alas non-conformity can be fun.  (Capt. Masters)
          (No, I don't know what it means, either.  ;) )

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.  (Get out there and take a class!)
 
 Exchange of the Week, OOC Edition:
    Maybe I should have explained it better.  ;)
 <TheSpindle> Thank you.  :)  Nice work tonight, everyone!
 <TheSpindle> Any final questions before we break?
 <CRS2_Ma`Aru> ::raises::
 <BGDC_Ironside> ::Raises::
 <LTHL_D`rall> ::raises:
 <CRS1_Drexler> ::raises::
 <TheSpindle> LOL  A few, I guess.
