 Notes from the Admiral:

 Easily our most successful August ever, both in terms of keeping the
 plot going and in terms of attendance.  Either people moved their
 vacations around Coro or you all decided not to take them this year.
 ;)  I'm very appreciative that (most) people who cannot be at the
 sim are letting me know in advance.  Keep it up!  :)

 My subfleet commander (::grins at Brad::) has recently implied that
 sim descriptions of Omicron Subfleet sims have been getting a little
 out of control, length-wise.  A bit of thought on this subject has
 convinced me that he's right, and I'm going to start doing some
 self-editing to limit the sim descriptions to three paragraphs from
 here on out.  Please feel free to ask whatever questions you like
 about *past* sims and I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my
 ability.  It's the questions about *future* sims that I won't
 answer.  ;)

 rev, where are you?  We're kind of hoping the convicts haven't
 shoved a tent stake into your heart or something.  ;)

 See you all next week, for the first sim of Coro's seventh season!


 Sim Title: "The Fire Within", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Lora Kor has a conversation with the being posing as
 Colonel Stephen Gregg.  During the conversation, the Admiral is
 convinced that the beings that defend the threads are going to
 sacrifice the particular thread that we all exist on...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado and those aboard her have escaped the most recent "loop in
 the thread": the time loops that have plagued us lately.  Though we
 have escaped this one successfully, we are left with more questions
 than answers.  In particular, what is the significance of the Jjaro
 defense tower and the data that it contains?  It doesn't seem to
 make much sense that it would be here merely to cause time loops.
 We didn't have much time to consider the ramifications of this,
 however, as there appeared to be bigger fish to fry.  In particular,
 both General Ironside and Commander Tal needed to find some way to
 prove their innocence.

 One item working in their favor: Colonel Gregg has told us that the
 "barriers between threads" are currently so thin that "the Adversary"
 can sometimes take control of a person's actions for brief periods.
 This, at least, served to get both of them out of their respective
 confinements.  The Admiral, confined to Sickbay, escaped by a more
 expedient route: he simply pointed out to Doctor Reed that there was
 no point to him remaining in Sickbay if he could be monitored
 anywhere.  Reed reluctantly agreed, and the Admiral decided that
 "anywhere" meant back to Xanadu to search for clues regarding the
 nature of the "threads" that Colonel Gregg has mentioned.  With him
 went the majority of the Admiralty staff.  Coronado remained outside
 the facility to help defend it in case additional Xur ships arrive.

 The Admiralty staff made it inside, but only just.  As Kelaka
 arrived within the interior of the asteroid-starship, a pair of
 strange and frightening events happened.  First, a research team in
 the Fourth Chamber reported that something was coming *out* of that
 chamber, from somewhere beyond: something massive and symmetrical,
 possibly a ship.  This ship, however, never made it to the Third
 Chamber.  The twin singularities which provide light and heat to the
 Second Chamber of Xanadu were both extinguished, one by one, leaving
 the Second chamber completely dark.  Even worse: whatever occurred
 to cause the singularities to die also destroyed the Fourth Chamber,
 taking both the research team and the approaching ship with it.

 Academy Completions:
    None this week.  (Get out there and take a class!)

 Exchange of the Week:  Security realities of the tangled threads...
 <RAGC_LoraKor> K> They're positive that we're tied to at least one
 other thread somehow.  I know that much from what I read this
 morning.
 <RAGC_LoraKor> K> Something to the effect that we're so tightly
 linked to a single other thread that we can bounce back and forth
 without warning.
 <CRS1_Drexler> 10>  I disagree.  You are human, correct?
 <BGDC_Ironside> 10> Gilgamite, not human. ::opens Kelaka's hatch::
 <RAGC_LoraKor> K> ::glances over his shoulder, a phaser somehow in
 his hand, which lowers when he sees it's Ironside::  'morning,
 General.  Welcome aboard.
 <Savant> K> That I'm not surprised by. I hope that the other thread
 is in good health. . . otherwise pruning one while saving the other
 could be difficult.
 <BGDC_Ironside> K> ::nods:: Admiral.  ::makes his way to a seat::
 <CRS1_Drexler> K>  Gilgamite?  You mean, a human from the Gilgamesh
 system?
 <RAGC_LoraKor> K> ::slots the phaser back into the space provided
 for it in the cockpit, then gets back on the controls::
