 Notes from the Captain:
 
 I'm trying...really trying...to get this Sim Report out tonight (this
 morning).  I was out all day with family enjoying the Easter holiday
 and didn't have my usual day off to myself.  And so while I prepare
 this I am also: reading through new issues of both XBN and Wine
 Spectator Magazine (both new arrivals at my "other" mailing address,
 that I hadn't received until today), heating up a bit of "my aunt
 can't cook worht a cr-..." Beef Stew since I hardly ate anything
 earlier, and using the scanner to scan some documents into my computer
 that should have been done earlier today...if I actually had the day
 to myself.

 So yeah, as you can see...pretty multitasked out over here.  But since
 I love you all so much and know how much a somewhat timely-released
 sim report means to you..I am doing this late tonight instead of
 pushing it off until tomorrow afternoon or something.  Anywhoo...
 enjoy...hopefully I won't spill and beef stew on the report...


 Sim Title: "Ignorance is Bliss", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 A no doubt highly classified First Contact report filed by the Team
 Bravo of the Homeworld Starbase in orbit of Reor'sa goes into detail
 about the Tar na zee infection as seen on Xur vessels.  The report
 states the infection is actually a silicone based lifeform that
 absorbs any and all forms active energy in close proximity causing a
 unique "spreading" response.  The report goes on to indicate that a
 certain energy threshold needs to be present in order for the lifeform
 to have a reaction, anything less than this threshold only produces
 very slight responses in the creature.  The report finally states the
 minority opinion that the Tar na zee has a specific energy threshold
 that if reached would cause the lifeform to "wake up" and exhibit more
 intelligent qualities...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado has taken up close position to the Torias sun in an attempt
 to put distance between itself and the rest of the fleet in the
 system.  Nearly all senior Flag personnel are present in the 4th
 Chamber CIC awaiting the return of Admiral Lora Kor from a meeting
 where the arrival of the "4th Chamber Personnel" is sure to be the
 prime topic.

 Just about anyone with Engineering knowledge or a good idea seems to
 take to the task of ridding Coro of the Tar na zee subversion.  Nearly
 all of Deck 8 Forward has been completly shut down in order to halt
 the spread of the energy-absorbing life form.  The First Contact
 report is high on everyone's mind as they attempt to work out the
 problem.  Theories run from Commander Tal wishing to beam the
 subversion off in one large chunk to Zunite Oswald's wish to try and
 reach to so-called "wake up" threshold states to in the report.

 Commodore Daren, satisfied that the subversion isn't going anywhere
 for now, heavily weights all available options but chooses instead on
 researching the available theories before acting.

 Lora Kor returns from his meeting with some of the worst news a galaxy
 can get.  He briefs his staff that the visitors from the planet found
 through a gate within the 4th Chamber call themselves "Partials" as
 they are neither entirely human nor entirely sentient.  They bring
 devastating news that space time seems to be degrading as evident by
 the number of tears across it.  The Partials have also informed us
 that Xanadu is not truly unique as two other identical asteroid
 starships exist somewhere across space and time.  These facilities
 cause the tearing of the universe the Partials describe, and
 eventually Xanadu will destroy M64 itself.  The Partials were
 "activated" as part of an experimental program to destroy Xanadu
 should the tearing worsen to the point it apparently has.  These
 Partials however lack the knowledge or ability to destroy Xanadu
 outright, their goal in coming to Xanadu was to inform Nexus Personnel
 living in Alexandria.  To their surprise, they found it evacuated. 
 With some answers and even more questions, a plan to attempt contact
 once again with Olmy of the Nexus is begun.

 Meanwhile, Coronado comes to the conclusion that as before the Tar na
 zee subversion can be successfully beamed off the ship, provided all
 subverted components and bulkheads are beamed off along with it, and
 provided the transporter energy necessary doesn't exceed the creatures
 threshold for expansion.  It took quite a bit of research into the
 creatures expansions over the past several hours to even guess as to
 what the energy threshold may be, but finally a transport procedure is
 put into motion to rid the subversive elements from Deck 8 piece by
 piece in a very tedious process...
