 Notes from the Admiral:

 Yet more changes to the roster this week.  In particular, we welcome
 back Kyle Marcy who will endeavor not to shoot any visiting
 dignitaries in his new role on the Admiralty staff.  ;)  In addition,
 Captain Daren has accepted the resigntation of Major Maxwell
 Deveraux, who will be stepping down as a member of Coro's Marine
 contingent.  Thanks for the time you were able to give us, Tyler!

 Other than that, not much to say about this one except nice work,
 everyone!  :)

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Cold and Distant Stars", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 A routine Marine patrol of the southern slope of Mount Abora turns
 up what appears to be a boojum sighting... until the "boojum"
 informs the Marines that he wants to talk to someone in authority.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado remained within Xanadu, her repairs now proceeding much
 more quickly with the assistance of the atmosphere and gravity
 provided by the interior surface of the asteroid-starship.  Aboard,
 Rear Admiral Lora Kor clings to life, Doctor Reed having learned
 that the subtle connection between host and symbiont has been
 broken, probably by some kind of outside influence.  However, he
 made little progress in determining what that influence might be or
 how to put a stop to it.  The normal solution to outside telepathic
 interference -- the various inhibiting drugs -- cannot be used with
 Lora Kor since the host and symbiont themselves share a psychic
 link.  If Doctors Reed and Dyson can't find a solution soon,
 however, the Tebrun Lora host will be dead in less than 12 hours...

 Meanwhile, General Ironside and the command staff of Coronado had
 an interesting problem to deal with: the boojum turned up by the
 Marine patrol.  Coro, sitting as she is near Alexandria, seems to be
 a perfect place to meet this boojum and find out what he wants. 
 While the Marines escort him, General Ironside and Colonel Prescot
 devise some very elaborate precautions which eventually fill the
 transporter room to overflowing.  When the boojum transports aboard
 -- his name turns out to be Olmy -- he is about as non-threatening
 as can be... almost anti-climactic.  One interesting thing about him,
 though: at least 50% of his communications skills seem to be via an
 imager he wears over his left shoulder.  A holographic device, it
 displays images that emphasize his words or gestures from time to
 time, possibly also making clear Olmy's real thoughts.

 Olmy and his companion -- a medium-size life form apparently called
 a "Frant" -- are escorted to the Wardroom, behind the flying Bridge
 on deck 1.  There, Olmy answers a few questions about the Nexus --
 apparently what eventually became of the Jjaro -- and about Xanadu
 itself.  However, his primary purpose in revealing himself is to
 tell the Defenders not to interfere or tamper with the Third Chamber
 machinery.  He notes that the Defenders are welcome to continue
 their explorations of the rest of Xanadu, particularly the Second
 Chamber and -- as much as is possible for us -- the Fourth Chamber.
 But without becoming threatening, warns that it would be dangerous
 for us to tinker with what we find in the Third.  After answering a
 few more questions, particularly from General Ironside, he is
 escorted off the ship.

 SUMMARY: Attendance 18/19 (1E) + 0 guest (6 after-simmers, 3 logs)

 U.S.S. Coronado Complement Changes:
    Commander Kyle Marcy, assigned as TF 85.3, S-2 Group Intelligence.
    Commander Olme Tlaloco, returned from Extended Leave of Absense.
    Major Maxwell Deveraux, resigned his Starfleet commission.

 Promotions:
    Jacob Prescot, from Major to Lt. Colonel
       Last promotion date: SD 240209.02, 54 sims
          I was very skeptical of UCIP multi-simmers until Masters
          and Shadow joined Coro's crew.  Both of them have shown
          over the years that some people can multi-sim and still be
          superior role-players.  Well done, Shadow!  Much deserved!

 Recognitions:
    Meritorious Service Medal
       Commander Alec Reed aka McC (OOC)
       Lieutenant Thirishar ch'Thane aka Alffred (OOC)
       Lieutenant Ariana Marist aks Dolin (OOC)
          For six or more months of service to U.S.S. Coronado in any
          position, performing all duties in an exemplary manner.

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

 Exchange of the Week:
    This is why time-travel gives Janeway a headache.
 <RAGC_LoraKor> Olmy> 1> It is interesting to me how little Hexam...
 Jjaro technology changed between your year and the Exodus.
 <BGDC_Ironside> WR> ::arches an eyebrow::
 <CPCO_Daren> WR> Ahh. ::notices Olmy's reactions::
 <RAGC_LoraKor> Olmy> 1> ::turns and heads for the Wardroom::  I had
 seen such things in books, and I am afraid I have been aboard a
 number of your minor starships and seen it with my own eyes, but I
 had thought that Exile technology would be a bit...  ::shrugs his
 massive shoulders::  It is not important.  ::enters the Wardroom::
 <BGDC_Ironside> WR> ::wonders if that shouldn't be 'between the
 Exodus and your year', but shudders at the thought of the temporal
 paradox bit again::
