 Notes from the Admiral:

 Every once in a while, I like to throw in a nice, chaotic, combat
 sim.  ;)  This one certainly qualified, with lots of attacks,
 defenses, reverses, retreats, and counter-attacks.  Nice job, all!

 This is one of those rare Coro sims that might run four weeks. 
 There's enough still going on that I don't know if we'll be able to
 wrap everything up in part 3.  In particular, nobody's made any
 attempt to solve the larger problem yet: what are we doing in 2302?

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Effect and Cause", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Dr. Patricia Lopez, our expert in multi-spatial physics, wakes Lt.
 Commander Jim Owens with some startling news: Gates opened in the
 Fourth Chamber could conceivably be used to transport people and
 ships not only across the universe, but across time as well.  A
 properly opened Gate will therefore let the traveller go anywhere
 and anywhen he or she cares to...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 We still found ourselves in the Milky Way, 2302, for reasons which
 are unclear.  Coronado's crew broke into fire teams, first
 attempting to secure deck 4 against any possible invasion, and then
 making plans to retake the ship.  First priority was given to
 evacuating deck 2; several members of the teams there felt that deck
 2 was not worth defending and possibly too difficult to defend to
 boot.  As a result, the armory on deck 2 was emptied and the weapons
 carried down to Sickbay on deck 4.  At first, this was done without
 significant resistance from the Klingon forces on deck 5, but later
 runs found themselves under semi-effective attack.  Lieutenant
 D'rall, in particular, took refuge in the turbolift storage bay
 adjacent to deck 3.  Most everyone else made it to deck 4
 successfully, and Admiral Lora Kor took Sickbay on deck 4 as his
 command post from which he could keep an eye on the "big picture." 
 Fire teams took the corridors to the port and starboard.

 This was no sooner done then D'rall heard a hissing sound coming
 from above her.  Soon after, it was obvious that the Klingons had
 indeed taken deck 2, probably from the Bridge, and were heading down
 the turboshaft toward her position.  The Flight Ops officer got into
 a short melee with a Klingon on his way down.  The good news was
 that she disabled the Klingon; the bad news is that she fell from
 the ladder way and was injured in the process.  Fortunately, she
 landed near Sickbay and was pulled within.  Meanwhile, the Klingons
 also attempted a number of attacks using the one-person lifts that
 are part of the emergency impulse reactors connecting decks 4 and 5.
 Two assaults were repulsed before the third found a weak point in
 the Starfleet lines and exploited it, giving the Klingons a brief
 foothold on deck 4.  All the while, the Klingons were also using
 Coronado's single shuttlecraft to bring in reinforcements from the
 six cargo pods Coronado is towing.

 Once the third Klingon assault was broken up, General Ironside was
 determined to go on the offensive, and the Admiral came up with an
 initial plan: if we can greatly increase the range to the cargo pods
 and take the shuttlecraft out of the equation, then the Klingons
 will be forced to fight only with the forces already aboard
 Coronado.  As a result, Ensign Karen Davies, one of this Coronado's
 officers, took the job of disabling the shuttlecraft.  Meanwhile,
 Ironside led a team to take the emergency impulse reactors and their
 associated engines.  Meanwhile, Tal took a team forward to deflector
 control to attempt to get a signal out to U.S.S. Churchill, the
 closest available Starfleet ship, for assistance.  Though we seem to
 have a good interim plan, one major problem remains: why are we in
 2302, who brought us here, and how do we get back to our own time
 and place?

 * [1]-LT2_Mors takes a phaser from the Gen and goes to the second
 lift setting to phaser on overload
 <[1]-BGDC_Ironside> ::snatches the phaser away from Mors:: Are you
 mad?
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The overloading phaser makes a high-pitched
 whine only about a meter from the whine of several dozen tons of
 deuterium-fueled impulse reactor.
 <[1]-p1cy_Prentiss> ::fires into the shaft again, at an angle this
 time::
 * [1]-LT2_Mors looks at the two; "Disabling the lift of course
 <[1]-BGDC_Ironside> ::taps quickly on the phaser and cancels the
 overload sequence::
 <CoroLCARS> =.\ction= The phaser overload sequence halts, and the
 high-pitched whine slowly subsides. Meanwhile, a pair of Klingon
 boots appears not two meters from D'rall's head.
