 Notes from the Admiral:

 Sorry for the extreme lateness of this report.  Only when I got home
 for the weekend did I remember that I ran the sim from Seattle,
 Washington, this week on my work laptop.  And my work laptop was 20
 miles away, heh...  As a result, I kind of had to patchwork together
 the bits and pieces of this report from all over, so I apologize for
 any errors.

 The race is going well, though!  As I said during the actual sim,
 much slower than I expected, but certainly exciting!  I can also see
 how much people are into it by the annoyance the Wraith team's final
 gambit of the sim caused.  ::snickers::  What can I say, except keep
 your eye on the prize.  As I mention in the summary below, it's
 pretty clear that's where the Wraith team's eye is fixed.  ;)

 See you all next week!  :)


 Sim Title: "Tradition of Losing", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Lora Kor visits the surface of the Ryla homeworld and
 there discovers any number of wonders.  In particular, the Ryla seem
 to have an interesting mix of advanced technology, primitive
 technology, and "technology" that seems little different from magic
 or superstition.  Among the latter is a fruit the Admiral buys that
 changes the eye color of the person consuming it.  However, the
 "highlight" of the Admiral's trip is when he decides to have his
 fortune read... and learns that his fate is dark and terrible.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 The race continued this week, with each of the five Coronado teams
 showing not only a competitive spirit, but a keen desire to win...
 in some cases, win no matter which other teams might get in the way.
 In the interim, the immediate goal was to reach Marker 5, because at
 that point, "weapons free" as the Admiral might say became the rule
 of the day.  Until Marker 5, ships weren't allowed to attack each
 other.  A Coronado team was not the first to reach this marker,
 however: a small Ryla Razorfang fighter easily reached the Marker
 first, and fired a torpedo back and a group of several competitors
 as she did so.  Before this happened, however...

 Aboard the Hornet with Lieutenants D'rall and Shar, things were very
 relaxed... almost casual.  Though the Hornet is far behind the
 leaders, the two Lieutenants didn't appear to be worried, and were
 quite content to let the other teams enter battle as they passed
 Marker 5.  One of the last ships to reach this critical Marker, the
 team appears to have a strategy to get by the pack... once the pack
 has thinned out a little.  Clearly this team feels that slow and
 steady will win the race.

 Things were much more intense aboard the Wraith team, where
 Commander Ma'Aru lived up to her intelligence roots, keeping this
 ship firmly apprised of the locations and tactics of the other
 teams, Coronado, Ryla, and Vanguard alike.  It was clear that this
 data was of critical importance, allowing the Wraith to avoid major
 conflicts and even destroying a... "competitor" along the way once
 Marker 5 was passed.  The Wraith team clearly had their eye on the
 prize...

 Not quite so for the team aboard Kelaka, who had their eye firmly on
 the leading Razorfang... to what turned out to be their detriment. 
 Commander Drexler and General Ironside were the clear leaders of
 this team, and were convinced that they could disable the lead
 Razorfang from afar using Kelaka's computers.  This plan was not to
 be, however: they were a key target for the lead Razorfang as she
 passed Marker 5.  Damaged by the Razorfang's missile, the Kelaka
 team was unprepared when they were finished off... by the team
 aboard the Wraith!  Needless to say, these two teams are likely to
 have words when the race is over...

 Meanwhile, Captain Daren's Minerva followed a middle course, content
 to stay in the pack and try to avoid major conflicts, while
 cooperating their efforts with other Coronado teams.  This "neither
 hot nor cold" policy, however, only served to endanger them when the
 Wraith's attack caught the Minerva in the backlash.  The Captain and
 Major Prescot are now reconsidering their choice of ships...

 However, with only a small portion of the course completed, it's
 still anybody's race... anybody but Kelaka's, of course, due to the
 gig's unfortunate destruction.  The field is likely to thin even
 further, and very quickly, as the race reaches its conclusion...
