Hey folks, A little slower week then the one before but that was to expect. Real Life hitted some of our crew hard and I hope we will return to simming in full numbers soon. This week we have 4 unexcused and that is not a nice thing. If RL beats you down and you cant log for whatever reason – please let us know. You will get a steady 'E' instead of an nasty '0' in the log count and the Command team can do a better planing of the storyline ... when we know with whom we can count of whom not. Two commendations for this week for OOC work. Skippy is finishing the new web of our little sim and Cortez did a nice work for the ODA department that will be on the site as well. Good work guys! See you all out there! Muma ===== XO's Comment ===== Greetings Chimera crew :) Interesting reading this week....How many knew we had a smuggler on board?!

Cmdr Shane Guzman CO USS Chimera =========================================================================== =/\= PROMOTIONS/ACADEMY/AWARDS =/\= =========================================================================== Promotions: None. =========================================================================== Academy: None. =========================================================================== Awards: None this week. Do something nice and brave and earn some award! =========================================================================== =/\= MISSION SUMMARY/QUOTES OF THE WEEK =/\= =========================================================================== Summary (by Queen Rangi) On Starbase 485, Lt Foster and Ens Nejor had a short and heated meeting.Two days later Andy and Athena boarded Chimera together.There they met the disgruntled security sergeant who explained that Shane had commended him on his security measures but had gone on to punish him by telling him to clean the corridor.Both Andy and Athena suggested that Shane might well have been joking and Athena went so far as to say the new CO had a 'unique' sense of humour at times. Cortez had planned a training exercise for ODA and Walsh, an interested observer, was secretly pleased at the assistant commanders mean streak in having non federation weapons to make things interesting.Walsh amused himself by ordering Perkins ( who really 'should' have polished his boots better) to run 40 laps of deck 12 in one third gravity carrying 40 lbs weight.Lynch was spared a similar fate by promising 'it' would soon be there.Later, he was forced to engage in a little 'undercover work' that caused him to have frayed nerves BIG time. But it was all in a good cause...he had managed to 'obtain' several necessary pieces of equipment for his new lab but more importantly he had supplied a few bottles of 'it' to Major Walsh...so really...everyone was happy :) Whilst Chimeras new captain was having a busy day, including promoting both Ra'nar and Rodgers to new rank and positions, the new XO was having problems of her own. Summoned back to Bragg to face an interview with Commodore Stephenson and two other SSF officers, she answered a few leading questions as they tried to discover whether her recent promotion was a favour returned from Shane or if she thought their relationship could cause a conflict of interests.By the time she was dismissed, she knew that Walsh had complained about her appointment.Later she met Jason Stephens and recognised him as the man in Lucys holograph.He told her about his background and how he had made a time leap following an accident when on his first space mission from NASA. He showed her a photograph of his wife and sons, a third timeline had he but known it. Rangi wondered how Lucy would react if she met him in sickbay. Ra'nar went to look over his new domain and was impressed by it.Torin Jamar introduced himself as the ships medical yeoman and Ra'nar ordered him to arm himself with a phaser...just in case. Major Pete Birt was contacted by LtCol. Bourne who informed him that there was a possibility that the Breen were involved in the coming mission. Commodore Stephenson had contacted Shane and 'suggested' that some of the new promotions be reconsidered. Shane was not prepared to do so and 'recycled' the padd.When Rangi returned he told her little of the Commodores comments and they went to the Bridge.Clearance was given to depart from Bragg and Shane ordered Chimera be set on course for Sidos.He asked C'el to call a meeting for senior officers in an hours time and, heading off to his ready room, gave Rangi charge of the Bridge.This was a sudden surprise for her but she tried to conceal her nervousness. At the briefing the officers were shocked speechless on hearing their mission involved locating Jem'Hadar soldiers now living supposedly innocent lives as ordinary Federation citizens and that they now referred to themselves as Marduk.He explained the loss of contact with the colony and the need to return everything to normal level.He ordered Ra'nar and his medical team to prepare for a large scale medical emergency and reprimanded him for expressing inappropriate terms.Engineering was instructed to ensure the whole ship was running at full efficiency and Science to search for any anomalies. Helm and Tactical were to scan the sector for hidden ships.Major Birt then showed the information he had been given and the briefing ended. =========================================================================== Quotable Quotes (by Queen Rangi + Mr. Hawk) Ens Jason "Buck Rodgers" Stephans, ((seriously, isn't that the main plot to Buck Rodgers...! :) )) Jason's smile grew "Where to start well I was born on earth in the year 1963 i served in the British Royal Air Force for most of my military career before joining NASA but on my first space mission there was an accident and i found myself in the Year 2399" He paused for a moment to let this influx of information settle before continuing "And well after 2 years of re-education i joined Starfleet" ==================================== Second Lieutenant Richard "Party Pooper" Cortez Strolling down the corridor Richard started yelling. "Time to wake up people!", he screamed as half naked members of the ships ODA compliment started peaking there heads outside of the rooms. "You have exactly 20 minutes to get to the holodeck on deck ten", he said strolling past a set of sleepy eyes that belonged to a fresh recruit who had just been assigned to the ship a few days before. "The uniform consists of your summer BDU's, anyone who is late, or in the wrong uniform will regret it", he said stopping and looking back towards Walsh. "So please, be late", he finished with a slight smile and walked back towards the Major. ==================================== Cmdr. Shane Guzman, pointing out who he thinks the ship chaperone is. "Nah" Shane replied, "It was surely Foster. The guy had always an odd sense of humour. Lets check if there isnt Walsh's quarters between ours" ==================================== Cmdr Rangi "Some see the wardrobe half empty" Summers The wardrobe was wide with shelves set to the left hand side and two long hanging rails. A modest array of clothes hung on three hangers. {Mmmmm.we'll have to do something about that...thats no where near enough!} Rangi thought and closed the doors. ==================================== Warrant Officer "Showing off his shiny new sickbay" Ra'nar Ra'nar looked around, {So this is it, my new base of operations.} Was Ra'nar's first thought as he looked around the brand new sickbay, his second thought was, {Hell, it's big.} Ra'nar had been in the Intrepid class sickbay on the old Chimera and the Akria class sickbay from when he was with the 42nd Med-Evac, before joining SSF, both of those were only half the size of this one. ==================================== PO3 Aidan, "Mr. Modesty" Lynch "Wasn't that hard to get the stuff now, was it?" Walsh said with an evident tone of satisfaction, after taking a long sip from one of the bottles. Aidan would've loved to strangle Jack for saying that. Instead he raised his shoulders. "No big deal, really" he said instead and left the Majors Office, disappearing in his half finished, new and shiny laboratory. ==================================== Ra'nar. Keeping it "real" Ra'nars expression was deadly serious, "I know a lot that you don't. But that is beside the point. The Chimera is a combat vessel, a SSF Vessel. I need all my staff to be prepared, I am told that on the mission before last there was a fully armed Romulan beamed into sickbay by accident. ===================================== What a poor shot Cortez, shame on you... ;) "Get your ass down", Cortez yelled back at Jones as he rolled over to his side and aimed his weapon at a small figure about 150 yards away. Breathing in slightly he pulled the trigger and sent a single shot downrange hitting the man in the right shoulder sending him to the ground. "Damn", Cortez said to himself. He was aiming for the head. ===================================== Major Pete "Boy this feels like a Monday morning" Birt Pete sighed {and so it begins} he thought as he reached for his comm badge "Understood put it through to my quarters" He said turning to face the computer as the SSF symbol changed and the face of Lt. Colonel Max Bourne appeared ===================================== Lt. Andersen, "Counselors aid" Foster "She's got a point, Sergeant," offered Andy. "Maybe the Commander was just saying it jokingly ... after all, he was grinning, didn't you say?" ===================================== Captain Dana Ripley & Commander Gerrin Chaye, calling in their favors. "Might as well give it a try," Gerrin said. "Worst that could happen is we end up with what little information we already have." "Yes," Ripley agreed. "It's worth a shot. I wonder why Cole didn't contact her..." she mused, but shrugged it off, and turned to the monitor that was on her desk. "Computer, open a secure channel to Major General Evelyn Harper, Starfleet Command," she instructed it. ===================================== A man and his obedient woman following behind..........((Duck punch and run like hell... :p)) Shane strode confidently across the Bridge towards the command chair and Rangi followed a pace or two behind him. ((J/K too funny to resist, that and I knew it would get a rise out of you...!)) ======================================== Upgrades needed for the new ship?....... As the door chime sounded again Shane thought for a second about installing church bells instead of the standard door chime ... it would be at least more interesting when hearing that sound for the fifth time today. "Come in" he called and thought about recording that words for later use ... Cmdr.

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). =========================================================================== =/\= SUBJECT LINES/WEBSITE NEWS/IRC INFO =/\= =========================================================================== Subject Lines: Please remember to use the following format for your subject lines: 24YYMM.DD, Position's log (or Personal Log), Rank Name e.g., my subject line on 02 Jan 05 would be: 240502.01, CO Log, Cmdr Shane Guzman 240502.01, CO Personal Log, Cmdr. Shane Guzman The [USS Chimera] part of the Subject is placed by the listserv automatically, so you don't need to include it. =========================================================================== Website News: Http://www.ucip.org/Chimera This is the USS Chimera web site. Please take some time to look through the site -- it has lots of information which will help you make your logs a consistent high quality (e.g., ship specs, deck layout, bios of the other characters on the ship, etc.) If you have any comments/suggestions regarding the site, please mail me, and I'll consider them. Biographies are what other crew members use as a basis for playing your character in their logs, so be sure to keep yours current and updated. Any biography updates should be sent to me, and I'll be sure the main site is updated. =========================================================================== IRC Info: The Chimera and UCIP have many IRC Channels: IRC.kdfs.net : The irc network we use #USS-Chimera: Our own channel #Backroom: The UCIP's OOC Channel #Ten-Forward: The UCIP's IC Channel, where players of different SIMs can mingle IC. #Academy: The UCIP Academy's IRC Channel #HelpDesk: Questions about UCIP's IRC Channels?
