 Notes from the Admiral:

 Twists and turns aplenty, but I hope people are now seeing the way
 out of this.  ::chuckles::  Whether we manage to break out of the
 loop in the fourth iteration or an upcoming fifth iteration remains
 to be seen, however...  The Captain might not live through this
 iteration if you guys aren't VERY careful.  ;)

 Maybe it'll take a sixth to get it all right?  ;)

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Archangel", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Rear Admiral Lora Kor convinces himself that whatever Stephen Gregg
 is, the supposed Marine Colonel is lying about the loss of our
 "thread."

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado, Cerberus, Kelaka, and the other Defender ships and small
 craft in the area moved to deal with the ramifications of the
 "lights going out" in Xanadu: primarily evacuating the asteroid-
 starship.  Without the singularities present to provide heat and
 warmth, particularly to the Second Chamber, there's no way the Jjaro
 artifact can support the hundreds of personnel within.  As a result,
 the ships were busy ferrying people out of the asteroid-starship...
 right up until the moment that Commander Velorna Tal, on her own
 authority, decided to "loop the thread" again.  She inputted our
 latest sensor data into the Jjaro data feed from the Eye, causing
 time to loop back to before Coronado entered L036/L037.

 As in the previous three iterations, all personnel retained their
 memory of previous iterations.  The Admiral, in particular, was
 incensed by the repetition and to prevent it happening again, firmly
 ordered that in this iteration, we'd avoid L036/L037 and the data
 there entirely.  The Admiral is now completely convinced that the
 Eye and the data there are an Adversary trap of some kind and that
 NOT collecting the data at all is the right thing to do.  By this,
 he hopes to prevent the tear forming there and therefore prevent
 Xanadu appearing there at all.  The Admiral's theory seemed to be at
 least somewhat confirmed by the appearance of Colonel Stephen Gregg.
 Though Gregg's loyalties are suspect to say the least (we suspect
 that there are probably "two of him," one serving Aeon, one serving
 Aentropie), he did provide instant transport for Coronado to Xanadu
 and suggested that the answers we need are there.

 Cerberus, meanwhile, remained in the vicinity of L036/L037 and Lora
 Kor ordered that she and the other ships still in that area blockade
 that system until this crisis is over.  These orders were almost
 sabotaged by Commander Tal, who apparently subverted, ordered the
 Defiant ships into the system to collect the data at the Eye.  All
 three ships reported back to Coronado to confirm these orders, and
 learned that the orders were illegal.  The Admiral, meanwhile, led a
 team into Xanadu, intent on investigating the Third Chamber
 machinery in general and how and where the singularities come from
 specifically.  Commander Tal's subterfuge was unfortunately not
 transmitted to Captain Daren in time, however, and while Kelaka was
 getting under way, Commander Tal took the Captain as a hostage, and
 locked the two of them in his Ready Room.  She then killed power and
 life support to the Bridge, and ordered that Coronado be put on a
 course to L036/L037 and threatened to kill the Captain if this was
 not done...

 Exchange of the Week, Message Edition:
    I love working with professionals.  Makes things much easier.
 <CRXO_Tal> question, am I subverted this loop or not?
 <RAGC_LoraKor> Not that you're aware of.
 <CRXO_Tal> not that I was aware I was the first time, either  :-p
 <RAGC_LoraKor> And your point is... what?  Exactly?
 <CRXO_Tal> just checking, seeing if you're going to be kind to me or
 not  ;)
 <[RAGC_LoraKor]> Feel free to ask to speak to Captain Daren in his
 ready room.
 <CRXO_Tal> holy crap..
 <[RAGC_LoraKor]> It's very important.  :)
 <CRXO_Tal> was someone impersonating me?
 <[RAGC_LoraKor]> Feel free to ask to speak to Captain Daren in his
 ready room.  Now would be good.
 <CRXO_Tal> Why do I listen to you?
 <[RAGC_LoraKor]> Because you LOVE me.  >:)
 <[RAGC_LoraKor]> And it's a personal matter, very important.  Get
 Daren into his Ready Room.
 <CRXO_Tal> I'm going to want a phaser, aren't I?
 <[RAGC_LoraKor]> Oh, probably.  ;)
