 Notes from the Admiral:

 As you have all heard by now, our crew rotation continues, with us
 losing one and gaining one this week.  Dolin aka Lt. Ariana Marist,
 has unfortunately had to step down from all of her UCIP posts,
 including her post aboard U.S.S. Coronado, due to RL issues.  I hope
 that we'll see her back sooner or later.  ;)

 At the same time, one of Coronado's longest term simmers rejoined us
 this week.  Santiago was Coronado's longest-serving Chief Medical
 Officer, whose last sim was August 1999.  Four years later, he's
 back and will hopefully be finishing out Coro's run with us.  :-) 
 Welcome back, Santi!  We missed you!

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Atonement", Part 2

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Some of the Defenders learn what Dauntless has been doing for the
 last six years: exploring behind the lines of the Pfhor Hegemony...

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado continued to hold in orbit of Reor'sa, pending some kind of
 resolution to the S'pht destroyer also in orbit.  The S'pht claimed
 to enter the system with a diplomatic mission in mind, but the
 purpose of that mission was unknown... until now.  As the transport
 lifted off the surface, Rear Admiral Lora Kor informed Coronado's
 command staff that the S'pht believe that there is a Pfhor
 stronghold very near Reorsan space.  The stronghold is in an
 energetic nebula orbiting a red giant star approximately 100 light-
 years "northeast" of Reor'sa.  Such nebulae can be several light-
 years in diameter and enclose several systems, and we have seen
 areas where the influence of the Watchers waxes and wanes.  This
 area might very well shelter one of the latter locations, and if the
 Watchers were unable to influence events in this area, then Pfhor in
 that area might very well have survived.

 The mission brings back memories of S'buuth, the S'pht that was
 aboard Coronado for some months.  We know that he joined the
 Watchers, and that his first action upon joining them was to visit
 his wrath on the Pfhor species, fully intending to wipe all of them
 out.  This resulted in the internal collapse of the Hegemony, and if
 there are Pfhor in this nebula, it is unlikely that they are going
 to be gracious or friendly.  As a result, Lora Kor ordered a recon
 in force into the nebula, comprising Coronado, four Reorsan escort
 destroyers, and one of our own captured Pfhor warships for backup. 
 If the Watchers do not influence events inside this nebula, the
 smaller ships will be at a significant disadvantage since we believe
 it is possible -- even likely -- that it is the influence of the
 Watchers that allows false matter to operate.  Without false matter,
 our primary defenses and weapons against the Pfhor will be useless...

 Coronado therefore prepared herself for what is likely to be a
 combat mission; in addition, the Admiral asked General Ironside to
 see to it that a strong Marine force is available if needed.  Not
 only will Coronado's Marines participate, but U.S.S. Douglas
 MacArthur and her contingent will also be kept close at hand.  Since
 the system is some distance from known space, we will have to
 operate in a "leapfrog" mode, in which we'll have to stop frequently
 to conduct LORASON scans of the surrounding space to make it safe
 for slipstream travel.  The Admiral appeared to be in a rush to
 reach this location; if it is the influence of the Watchers that
 causes his illness, then we might be able to learn how to generate a
 field that will isolate Lora Kor from the Watchers in the nebula. 
 However, the Admiral made it clear that the mission is more
 important than any one person... even himself.

 Exchange of the Week:
    You have to admit: this approach is certainly original!  ;)
 <p1cy_Prentiss> M> ::smiles at Kennedy:: Hello.  I hope so.  I'd
 like you to examine my throat please.  It seems people have been
 having trouble hearing me lately and I'm wondering if maybe there's
 a problem.
 <LCDR_Kennedy> M> Of course. Just sit on the biobed, please? ::
 <p1cy_Prentiss> M> ::nods and sits on the biobed, waiting
 patiently:: Of course. ::smiles::
 <LCDR_Kennedy> M> ::finds a tricorder and engages it, reconfiguring
 it her way before moving to Prentiss' throat::
 <p1cy_Prentiss> M> ::sits very still, imitating a stone statue::
 <LCDR_Kennedy> M> ::finishes the scan, looking over the results::
 you can move now.
 <LCDR_Kennedy> M> Has it been more than one person who has had a
 harder time hearing you?
 <p1cy_Prentiss> M> ::nods:: Thank you doctor. ::thinks:: Yes.  Both
 Captain Daren and The XO.
