 Notes from the Admiral:

 Confused yet?  ;)  Remember to think about the big picture a little
 while you're driving Klingons off the ship.  ;)

 Farrell has done me the big favor of scanning high-resolution
 versions of the Akyazi deck plans.  In addition, he did a basic 3D
 rendering so that you can see how the turbolift shafts interconnect
 (nice job!).  You can find these graphics at:

 Thanks, Farrell!  :)

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Effect and Cause", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 A 100-year-old personal log entry, in which Teresa Valentine
 expresses her anger and annoyance over what has become of her
 Starfleet career, and her current mission: evacuating Klingons from
 Qo'nos following the Praxis disaster.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 A flash of light and a sense of deja vu, and about two dozen members
 of Coronado's crew and the Whitestone Admiralty senior officers
 found themselves on what appeared to be a near-lifeless planet.  The
 air was thin and cold and carried only the barest minimum of oxygen
 needed to sustain humanoid life, and the planet was without
 plant-life more complex than a single-celled, water-borne algae. 
 The personnel there had very little time to explore the environment
 or wonder how they came to be there before three people appeared,
 transporting in.  Wearing old-style Starfleet uniforms of a type not
 seen for several decades, the leader indicated she was Captain
 Storsa and commanded the Federation Starship Coronado.  The two
 others appeared to be her Tactical and Science officers,
 respectively.  During the initial conversation, we were able to
 determine that it is April 2302.  This is a problem because in April
 2302, the U.S.S. Coronado of that time, while transporting Klingon
 refugees from Qo'nos, was overrun and nearly captured by these same
 refugees.  We seem to have been sent back in time to a rather
 pivotal point in a past Coronado's history.

 Captain Storsa was -- to say the least -- extremely reluctant to
 believe that we were from the future, thinking it much more likely
 that we were smugglers and looters, taking advantage of Qo'nos's
 condition and minimal defenses.  However, the Admiral was eventually
 able to convince the Captain and her two officers that we were who
 we said we were, and we were beamed to Captain Storsa's Coronado. 
 This Coronado, a fast frigate from the year 2302, was apparently in
 the midst of transporting some 3000 Klingons from their badly-
 damaged homeworld.  Our personnel were moved to the ship's multi-
 purpose room for debriefing.  Meanwhile, some of the Klingons,
 apparently being transported off Qo'nos within Coronado, were
 transferred to the six cargo containers that this Coronado is
 towing, containing the living facilities for the rest of the 3000. 
 We know from use of the Catapult that this must somehow be an
 alternate universe, and General Ironside after being transported
 aboard, hears about this transfer and theorizes that it is our
 presence that causes these Klingons to overrun the Starfleet crew
 transferring them.

 Whether this is true or not, we never learn; however, it is true
 that the Klingons do overrun the Starfleet security teams escorting
 them to the cargo carriers and manage to somehow detonate two
 explosive devices aboard the ship.  One destroys the Bridge and most
 of the senior officers; the other detonates in one of the transfer
 corridors leading to this Coronado's Engineering department.  In the
 process, the Klingons break free of their escorts and manage to
 capture Deck 5 of the 5-deck starship.  With it, they also take
 control of Coro's only shuttlecraft and some pressure suits, and use
 them to capture the only other easily space-accessible deck
 remaining, deck 3.  As a result, the remains of Coronado's crew,
 plus the travellers from the future, are trapped on decks 2 and 4,
 with the Klingons reinforcing using their one shuttlecraft.  One of
 the Coronado officers, Lt. (JG) Teresa Valentine, decides our best
 chance is to call for help, from the nearby cruiser U.S.S.
 Churchill.  This news is interesting because in our reality,
 Churchill was lost in M64 in 2386, some 17 years before the
 "present day"... we're therefore left in an alternate universe
 facing a ship full of angry Klingons...
