 Notes from the Admiral:

 Have a joyous and safe holiday season, everyone!  :)

 See you all next week!


 Sim Title: "The Last Patrol", Part 1

 Teaser and Pre-Sim:
 -------------------
 Admiral Charles Theron gives his "Last Patrol" speech during the
 annual Party on Churchill Downs, making it clear he believes that
 present and future generations should stop looking toward the Milky
 Way and begin seeing Reor'sa and the M64 galaxy as their home.

 During the Sim:
 ---------------
 Coronado's away team returned to the ship, bearing a random sampling
 of documents gathered from what appeared to be a government building
 on the surface of the innermost moon.  Because we do not yet read
 the local language of this planet, Lieutenant Brooks and Commander
 Savant got to work on building a translation matrix.  The latter
 sped the task by distributing the computing workload across hundreds
 of Defender computers via ansible, but also earned Captain Daren a
 scolding from the owner of one of those computers, the CO of R.S.
 Destiny, whose computer was taken over.  Captain Daren apologized
 for the incident.  Coronado, meanwhile, slipped out of the system
 and returned to the staging area where her escorts were waiting.

 The frigate's presence in the system might not have gone entirely
 unnoticed, however: the holographic defense system suffered a
 partial break-down as Coro exited, possibly revealing the ship to
 the Pfhor in-system.  There was an increase of transport activity;
 nevertheless, the Admiral ordered one of our escorts into the system
 to gather more printed material to ease the translation problem,
 this time from a "news stand" identified by Captain Drexler.  This
 second mission was also successful, and the data transmitted to
 Coronado for translation with the first set of data.  Meanwhile, a
 number of Pfhor transports lifted off two of the moons, and two
 other transports searched nearby systems, presumably for us.

 Soon after, a Pfhor destroyer arrived in the system, escorting a
 convoy.  As the convoy made its way to the two innermost moons,
 enough translation on the documents had been gathered to determine
 that the relationship between the local species and the Pfhor
 appears to be remarkably cooperative, after some kind of change of
 relationship about a year ago.  In addition, the information pointed
 to another Pfhor colony nearby that is acting as a trading partner.
 This information seemed proved when the arriving convoy made for the
 moons of the inner gas giant, as a number of outbound transports
 linked up with the destroyer, presumably for a trip out of the
 system.  The Admiral ordered two of Coronado's escorts to shadow the
 convoy and learn to where it travels.  In the meantime, the
 remaining three ships will hold their position, trying to learn more
 about the colony we have found...
