Greetings fellow Chimerans!

This week it's your XO reporting, as our CO is enjoying a few days off while he is attending the historical inauguration of the US's 44th President. There's a discrepancy in the log count this week... there's one log missing between the PC and NPC logs (they only add up to 44), but the total is 45. After trying to figure out which log it is I'm missing, I decided to give up, so please excuse that little error!

A good week logging wise, as usual. Towards the end of the week we will most likely be arriving at our destination, namely Outpost 071. I hope all departments are ready, because you will need to be. :) On Unity we learn about some interesting developments regarding the war. Stay tuned for more, cause some exciting things are going to happen soon!

If you're stuck or need help logging, please feel free to email the Command Team <chimera-command@ucip.org> for assistance.

We also have a new listserv this week, namely the Chimera Executive list <chimera-exec@ucip.org>. On this is only the CO and XO, so if there's anything you would like to discuss with only the two of us instead of the entire Command Team, please feel free to do so.

On an OOC note, a new OOC ranking system is being implement UCIP-wide which will help to facilitate the promotion of simmers who serve in OOC positions throughout the org. This however won't impact on the average simmer, so you don't have to worry too much about that. Also, the CinC and Deputy CinC will now be known as the President and the Vice President. The incumbent President is Frankie and the Vice President is Selin (in case you wanted to know).

Thanks to Rangi and Ixus who did the quotes and summary respectively.

That's all for now. Have a great week!

Bren

- Quotes of the Week (by Rangi)
-------------------------
Logical.........

"I wish you not call me that," Rick said.

"Call you what?"

"Ricky. It sounds ...," Rick looked down at the deck.

"It sounds what?" Trent said.

There was a short pause.

"Childish," Rick finally said.

"Nonsense. I've been calling you Ricky since we were ...
children."

Commander Rick Rodgers Engineering Officer Starbase UNITY
and Captain Trent Rodgers (npc by Rick) Commanding Officer
U.S.S. Lancelot

=====================================================================

Is it a trick question?.......


It has come to my attention that the USS D'Artagnan have
repositioning back into an planet's shadow to reorganized...
18 times. And, bear with me, I doubt that Captain Henry and
her crew have been repeating the same mistake so many
times.", he said, obviously turning the sarcasm as bold as
possible, so everyone sees him coming. "... So, this means
that I received the same report 18 times, from 18 different
persons. Now, who can tell me what that means?", he asked.
No one.
"It means that while 18 persons were trying to impress me
with an obvious bold news that the damn Ferengi probably
heard of, no one cared about telling me that we lost total
communication with the Beta group, due to a communication
relay overload.", he added.

Work / play ratio?...........

"No.. there is plenty to keep me busy," she answered only
slightly altering the position where she continued to lean
against the wall.
"Namely?" Stephen asked with the very faintest tinge of
amusement on his face.
"Exercising, meditation, breakfast, rounds, updates, lunch,
maybe a game or two of chess, a walk, target practice,
dinner, light reading, a shower here and there and some
sleep," she said as if it was a regular routine.

Mnemosyme Nyx Jr. Counselor SB Unity


=============================================================

Just thirsty?.........

"Sure, take a seat," Jo said.
Since there wasn't much room, Rick sat on the bunk next to
her.
"How was your first day back?" she asked.
"Annoying. Feel useless," Rick replied, grabbing the bottle
from her and taking a long swig.
"The only time I've ever seen you drink was that time before
your wedding in Oakland when you were nervous," Jo said,
taking the bottle back. "Are you nervous about something
now?"
"No. Wasn't nervous then," Rick said. "Just need drink."
"Well, I've got a good bottle of scotch around here
somewhere," Jo said, looking around her quarters.
Rick again grabbed the bottle of brandy and took another
drink, "No, this will do."

* SUBJECT LINES/LOGGING GUIDELINES/WEBSITE NEWS/IRC INFO *
==============================================
-------------------------
- Subject Lines
-------------------------
Please remember to use the following format for your subject lines:
SD 24YYMM.DD, Duty/Personal Log, Rank Name
e.g., SD 240502.01, CO's Log, Capt Rojac
e.g., SD 240502.01, Personal Log, Cropa Rojac
The [USS Chimera] part of the subject is placed automatically by the listserv, so you don't need to include it.
Also remember to include your details at the end of your log
e.g.,
Captain Cropa Rojac
Commanding Officer
USS Chimera NX 96899-B
-------------------------
- Logging Guidelines
-------------------------
Logging:
The weekly logging deadline is at Midnight (12:00AM/00:00) GMT/UTC (19:00 EST); all logs received after the deadline will be counted for the following week. If you are pressed for time and would like a log to count for the previous week, but it is sent after the deadline, please send an email to the command team when you send the log so that we can make the corrections.
Please remember that all MAJOR plot changes need to be cleared with the command staff before a log goes through! You can do this by sending the command staff (chimera-command@ucip.org ) a log labeled with "Draft" tagged to the subject line. We'll typically let you know if it's approved within 24 to 48 hours, or tell you what might need to be modified before it's sent to the listserv.
When using other characters in your logs, please keep in mind that person's characteristics. Character information can be found on the UCIP website or the USS Chimera website (under CREW - just click on the Star Trek symbol next to the character's name). If you're still unsure how to interact with a character, then privately mail the person
involved, and I'm sure they'll be willing to help.
Conversely, if you feel that your character is being portrayed incorrectly by someone please contact them to try to work out an agreeable solution. Just keep in mind when logging to treat other characters the way you'd like them to treat you - with the respect due to any member of Starfleet who is a specialist in their field.
If you think your log may be going out of bounds, then please ask! If you are having problems finding things to write about or would just like some help with your log, please contact your department head or the command team. Remember, you don't always have to log about things relating to the main plot - logs that develop your character's
personality are encouraged! We're eager to help if you're having trouble; just email the command team (
chimera-command@ucip.org).

- On Report
-------------------------
Any officer who is Absent Without Leave (0) for two or more consecutive

The following crewmen are on report:
-------------------------
- Removals/Resignations
-------------------------
The following crew have either resigned or have been dropped due to lack of activity. If they would like a position on the USS Chimera, they will need to reapply.
