Chimerans!

Big announcement this week:
Our Deputy Game Master, Mr. Bren Ohmsford, has decided to go into the sim development business. UCIP rules and regulations however prohibit him from being in a command position for more than one simulation, and as such he has asked my permission to pursue this new style of simulation and step down from the XO spot of the USS Chimera & First Taskforce simulation. I agreed to his demands.
In his stead, we both agreed on the selection of an existing command team member to fill his now empty shoes. As of this posting Ixus will assume the role of Deputy Game Master of the simulation, and will be granted all rights and privileges therein. Bren will be providing him guidance in the coming weeks, and will still act as a voting member of the Command Team - just not in the executive role.
Them Command team now consists as such:
    Rojac    -    Game Master
    Ixus    -    Deputy Game Master
    Bren    -    Voting Member
    Rangi    -    Voting Member
    Muma    -    Voting Member
Congratulations Ixus!

Plot-wise. I will be releasing the latest edition of the current bridge log following the posting of this report. Thing will definitely heat up. I know RL is heating up, but I ask your continued support as the plot progresses. We were doing so well in R&R, let carry it over to the plot. Group leaders: things are slowing down - do what you can to heat things back up. I will be contacting you for status reports.

If you have any questions, you know who to ask.
Thanks,

+rojac

XO's Address
----------------------
Greetings Everyone,

This will be the last XO Report from me as the command team is undergoing some OOC changes, but I just want to say it was such great fun being the XO of the Chimera for the last two years... this sim really is one in a million! 

In other news... the plot is moving forward and Chimera is getting herself into hot water pretty soon. Expect the Rapier and the Eagle to the rescue. :)

Oh, and remember it's Bravo Group, not Beta Group (Alpha, Bravo & Charlie). And Frankie, remember to add the group label to your log title!

Have a great week and have fun!

Bren

=/\= MISSION SUMMARY/QUOTES OF THE WEEK =/\=
==============================================
-------------------------
- Summaries (Rangi)
------------------------- 

Alpha - Bren


On Norris VIII-A, 2Lt Winters' team continue their attack on the Romulan communications outpost. Back on Padassa, Major General Sharpe expresses his hatred for paperwork and orders around a few fighter squadrons.


Beta - Rojac


The Captain drops in on the Tactical Department and asks the CTAC and DCTAC to analyze the reasons behind the sensor interference in the Stellar Nursery. Later, he visits the CEO in Engineering, who asks permission to turn into Mega Man. On the bridge, Red Alert is called, crew are sent to battle stations and the ship warps toward the site of battle. Major Cortez has his team suit up and meet with LtMaj Shao's team for transport to the Eagle. The Chimera drops out of warp into an artificial "pocket" within the nebula that houses a very strange looking supply base - and several Romulan war ships. Dr. Quoicho executes her duties given to her by Dr. Fisher as the ship preps for battle. 


Charlie - Ixus


The precision coordinated attack on the R'Veras is <finally> under way.  Ghost Flight infiltrates R'Veras V airspace by slipping in through the magnetic disturbance at the north pole then heads south for the first strike on the enemy base's power cores.  Simultaneously an Erassian agent in place aboard one of the defense stations blows up the main power core causing massive damage to the station knocking it out of commission.  Just as this happens the Erassian Task Force drops out of warp and begins to attack.


Delta - Rik

none.


Unity - Rangi


Shane questioned Mnemosyme on what she could recall of the explosion and why she was in the area at the time. He thought something was odd but couldn't work out exactly what it was. Trent Rodgers visited Chloe Utley in the Brig and discovered that fear for her familys safety had led her to work for the Romulans. Jade was feeling a little better and decided to do some work on a programme she had had to postpone before meeting T'Vel again. T'Vel had the results from the quantum biofrequency study on the two bodies of Nicholas Harker. The results comfirmed the suspicion that one body was from an alternate universe. Rangi decided to send them to the Medical Research Investigation unit for further study.

- Quotes of the Week (by CORTEZ)

------------------------- 

You can never be too careful...

''Balls?'' Barnes told him. Andrus snapped to attention, jokingly. ''Check!'' He whispered tapping on his crotch, which made a hard noise.

''Is that a protective cup, Cadet?'' Barnes asked him, somewhat incredulous, barely holding a chuckle.

Jones walked to them. ''You don't need that. When they shoot at you, they usually don't miss, even less get at arms length.''

Andrus shrugged and nodded. ''I did not know, sorry.'' They patted him on the shoulder and chuckled together.

Cadet Andrus Elbrum

----------

And I thought it was 42?

Pretending to put something on his desk for him to look at Athena asked with a serious expression, "And what do you see in this picture?" {He'll either play along and tell me who knows what or he'll think I'm insane.}

"The answer to the meaning of life...apparently it's bagels and cream cheese. Either that or it could be getting close to lunchtime who knows how the subconscious works, eh?" Scott replied.

Commander Athena Wellington + Major Scott Walters
-------
Someone should start a workers Union on the Chimera...


"If they get caught napping on the job, I'll be sure to get in touch with Engineering and give them a few more candidates for plasma exhaust scrubbing,"

Commander Mike Levison

* 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).
