 Notes from the Admiral:

 Happy holidays, all!  :)  As I noted this week, the Coronado sim is
 ON for the next two weeks by vote of the simmers.  However, anyone
 who cannot attend will receive an automatic announced absence.  I'll
 hope to see you, but won't expect to...  ;)

 In the meantime, whether your holiday season includes Coro simming
 or not, I hope that you enjoy it immensely, get good presents (if
 that's your thing), and come back rested and refreshed for Coro's
 final sims in 2004!

 A warm welcome to Somansky, who joined us this week and has already
 impressed quite a number of regulars.  Welcome, Somansky.  :)

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "Atonement", Part 3

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Coronado confirms the presence of Pfhor and Pfhor transports in the
 system given to us by the S'pht.  The Admiral orders Coronado into
 the system to investigate further.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado entered the system identified by the S'pht as being a
 possible Pfhor stronghold.  The system is inside a planetary nebula
 being formed by a nearby red giant star.  There were two gas giants
 in the system, each with attendant moons.  The inner gas giant had
 three moons that were class M.  On reaching the system, we were able
 to determine that there are Pfhor in the system: several of their
 transports were visible travelling between the moons, and two were
 apparently involved in gas harvesting operations near the outer gas
 giant.  The Admiral ordered that Coronado proceed further into the
 system to get us a closer look.

 As a result, Captain Daren ordered the ship's holographic defenses
 prepared.  With a number of transports already moving in the system
 and the indifferent nature of Pfhor sensors, he judged that we'd be
 safe enough disguising ourselves as another Pfhor transport and
 using this ruse to get closer to the inner gas giant.  In the
 meantime, we got our first look at the locals: a previously unknown
 6-limbed species, whose technology is on the cusp of
 industrialization.  The approach prompted a discussion in the CIC
 about the plan once Coronado was in position.  The Admiral
 eventually decided not to risk a first contact -- we don't know if
 this species is a conquered race or willing collaborators with the
 Pfhor.  As a result, we can't risk them letting the Pfhor know of
 our presence.

 The mission therefore changed from first contact to reconnaissance:
 an away team beamed down to the planet and headed for what appeared
 to be a central government building on one of the three moons.  Once
 inside, the away team will look for documents or records showing
 what the relationship is here between this species and their Pfhor
 occupiers.  As the mission proceeds, several aboard work on personal
 projects.  In particular, Commander Farley and his team work to
 complete the upgrade's to the ship's defensive systems, even though
 it is unlikely that they will operate properly in this particular
 nebula due to the lack of Watcher influence.
