 Notes from the Admiral:

 Wrapping up what I know has been a really complex arc, but I hope
 you've all been enjoying it.  :)  I promise the next couple of
 episodes are more straightforward, starting with a really low-key
 one starting on the 22nd.  In the meantime, I hope you're ready for
 part 9 of 9 of this one.  ;)

 As all of you know, we finally heard from rev, so you can call off
 the bloodhounds.  ::grins::

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Archangel", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 If you couldn't follow it, I'm not going to explain it to you.  ;)

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Commander Tal had taken both Coronado's Bridge and the Captain
 hostage, but the plan seemed more than a little spur-of-the-moment. 
 She didn't appear to have any plan for getting Coronado to L036/L037
 other than threatening the Captain's life if her demands were not
 met.  Admittedly, this was an impressive level of threat, but
 certainly didn't stop Major Prescot from making his own plans.  In
 the meantime, Tal was able to access the computer in the Captain's
 Ready Room, in essence linking a "deadman's switch" between her
 life signs and an overload of the EPS conduits in and around the
 CIC/Bridge complex.  Sure enough, Major Prescot launched an attack,
 the prelude of which was to kill power across half the ship, then
 charge the Ready Room with a false matter sword.

 While heroic, certainly, the results were predictable.  Prescot
 managed to cripple Tal, but not before she could shoot Captain
 Daren, leaving him critically wounded.  Prescot then decapitated
 Tal; this initiated the Commander's deadman's switch, which
 incinerated much of the CIC/Bridge complex and finishing off both
 the Captain and Prescot himself.  This set up a major chain of
 command collapse on Coro, as the Captain, Executive Officer, and
 Marine Commandant (third in command of Coro) were dead; the chain of
 command failure was complicated by Prescot's order to shut down
 power to half the ship...  As a result, it was some time before
 Commander Savant, acting as the Task Group logistics officer, was
 able to get Commander Reed set up as Coro's interim Commanding
 Officer.  The latter was able to reestablish power.

 As a result, Coronado's situation, while dangerous enough, placed
 her out of the main action.  That fell to Commanders Ma'Aru and
 Farley, whose Cerberus was still in the vicinity of L036/L037. 
 While Admiral Aldur considered this loop a success as it was, even
 with the regrettable loss of three Coronado senior officers, Rear
 Admiral Lora Kor did not.  He ordered Cerberus into L036/L037 and
 further ordered them to initiate another loop.  Meanwhile, he took
 the Admiralty staff deep into the Third Chamber recesses to gather
 all the data that they could about how the singularities are linked
 to the Third Chamber machinery in Xanadu.  When the team reached the
 proper place, they were greeted by a surprise: an image of a
 younger, stronger Brian Aldur appeared in the control room to tell
 Lora Kor that Aldur knew why Lora Kor was doing what he was doing. 
 Just as Commander Savant got the critical information, Commander
 Farley initiated another -- and hopefully, our final -- loop in the
 thread.  We will have another chance to relive this day.

 Exchange of the Week:
    I try to resist.  I really do.  But sometimes, I can't.
 <CRDR_Reed> FB> +taps+ So this is, in fact, your work on this
 console, and not some new kind of trap? 
 <[Savant]> FB> +taps+ Do you trust me, Doctor?
 <CRDR_Reed> FB> +taps+ I don't trust anybody.
 <[Savant]> FB> +taps+ Then I guess I could tell you that it's not a
 trap all you want, you're going to decide what you will regardless.
 <CRDR_Reed> FB> ::scowls, not liking his options:: +taps+ Stand by,
 Engineering.  ::turns to the console, looks at the faces of the
 three duty officers, and then with a hint of resignation inputs his
 codes::
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= Computer> Security authorization accepted.
 U.S.S. Coronado is now under the command of Commander Alec Reed.
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= <<Somewhere, a snowflake falling announces
 that Hell has frozen over.>>
 <[CLSL_Wayne-Wr3]> <<ack!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!! :)>>
 <CRDR_Reed> FB> ::holds his breath for a few moments, waiting to
 explode; when it doesn't appear things are going to combust, he
 turns to the duty officers:: I have no inclination to sit here with
 three dead command personnel.  What is our current course, heading,
 and realspace equivalent velocity?
