Hello all, Well it has been some time since the Listed CO of the ship has submitted a report, but Our faithful XO needed a break so I am trying to help the best I can. A slow week this week, but seeing how active everyone has been over the last few weeks it is bound to happen. Some of you who did not log did not request an excused. Just a reminder, if for any reason you cant log, any reason what so ever, please drop the command team a email requesting an excused, we will be glad to give it. SO now that the fighting is over, there are pleanty of things to do, ther eare repairs to be made, injured to heal and getting back to the business at hand. If you have any questions about what to log, ask your department head or one of the command team and we will help in any way we can. Ok enough from me, on with the rest of the report. Indy ============== Hello Chimera's crew. A sloooooow week this time for our little ship. I have to say that I am a bit dissapointed about that, but on the other hand i have to say that i very well understand the RL reasons some of us have. Simming should never interfere with Real life, after all I am too a real person and not Shane Guzman. But then again, beeing inactive for the whole week and not even sending an request for beeing excuse is not a think we like and can tolerate. PLease dont forget, three unexcused in a line and you are on report. Another unexcused ... and we have to drop you. We are always sad about anyone to drop, but when you cant drop us a line or two in a month ... we cant count on you anymore. On another note ... the plot is moving slowly but nice, soon we will reach teh Kzenti homeworld and be SURE, a suprise or two IS waiting there for us, so stay tuned! ::Waves:: Muma >> 2XO's Comment <<< AXOs Report.

This week: Engineering: do your best to make the ship a place to live again. Medical: there's a LOT of casualities .... Others: try to describe how your working place look like after the battle, maybe your quarters ... who knows how the mess hall looks like ... ========================== ===================== Mission Summary (by Athena) Oriana and her crew tried many different things to get readings from their probs. Just when they thought the deep probes were going to work gel paks started to explode and steel the oxygen out of the air. Astrometrics was evacuated, the injured scientists were taking to the temp sickbay and the healthy scientist were going to have to relocate for a bit. Shane learned of his protective guard when the ACO emerged from a Jefferies Tube. Shane was informed of his need to make an appearance in sickbay after a short discussion with the ODA sergeant that was to keep him safe. However, a trip to engineering was first on Shane's list. Gary Williams awaited for someone to rescue him from his trap. Modana finally showed up with help and the trio made it back to the security offices where Gary decided to keep old man Walsh company just in case he need help; medically speaking. Athena walked the ship doing what little she could to help out and eventually fell asleep. Shane met up with Oriana in the physical lab. She informed Shane of the amount of data they were able to retrieve from Astrometrics and of her theories. Shane thought her theories were interesting and wanted a report in twelve hours. (Nothing like a little pressure.) Finally making it to the temporary sickbay Shane had his injuries checked out by the very competent Dr. Summers. Rangi was satisfied the healing of Shane's arm and fixed the bruising on his head and then she apologized to Shane. MaiKai finished her medical magic on the bridge and returned to the temporary sickbay and began doing rechecks on the patients there. She persuaded a patient to remain in bed and rebandaged her own bloody knee. Scott made a polite order of his own that Rangi gets some sleep and she agreed with a minimal amount of fuss. Michael McKnight and a couple of other ODA members helped get some of the repairs on the way to the shields. ========================== ===================== Quotable Quotes (by Rangi) Understatements in Astrometrics... One of plasma conduits teared and the plasma began to burn. The closest consoles liquefied and the fire burned the oxygen in the room. "Leave the astrometrics!" Oriana cried out, that she was heard: "Help to injured and away from here!" She helped closest crewmember at the legs and they all run out of the astrometrics. Oriana closed the door quickly and they continued to run then. An explosion was heard in the next moment. They stopped round the corner. "Oh, sir, this was within a hair," said Themian. Oriana frowned at him. {What for a ilogical colorific metaphor} ALtJg. Oriana CSCiO USS Chimera ========================== ===== Various thoughts on Jefferies Tubes.... Shane was on his way down to engineering. For a moment he cursed the ship designers cause its seems a VERY long way from the bridge to engineering, particullry through the jeffries tubes. Shane was not used to crawle through those tubes, he was always a bridge officer and his place was rarely somehere else and his back started to ache 5 minutes ago. For a moment he wished the transporters would work ... but the same he could wish for a little faery ... * {I feel like a trained rat in a maze!} Rangi thought as she crawled along on hands and knees. {I cant believe in this day and age they cant come up with something better than this!} * After a long and tedious crawl through what seemed like the whole ship, Michael and a small team had made their way to Deck thirteen * Gary thought he had narrowly escaped harm as he rabbited his way through the warren of jeffries tubs when he heard a large explosion and the air began to rush past him. He was nearly swept away, loosing his comm badge until the emergency force fields engaged and plugged the gaping hole in the hull. Helpless and unable to call for help, he simply laid there watching the stars ========================== ==== Applying pressure..... Shane noded again: "Very well then Lieutenant. I expect that report to be ready in 12 hours. This is a very important point, cause if that attackig ship was really a romulan war ... this can easily escalate to an intelstelar war." He looked at Oriana to stress the importance of his words. {12 hours? I like the work under pressure.} thought Oriana. "I know sir we will seek." She looked at Commander, who nodded content and turned to leave. Cmdr Shane Guzman XO/ACO USS Chimera & ALtJg. Oriana CSCiO USS Chimera ========================== ===== Giving/receiving orders ..... "Fine. Lead the way then" Shane replied. The marine nodded and lead Shane through the corridor to an intersection where he did open the little hatch. "This way sir." He looked up at Shane and smiled a bit: "I go first Commander with your permission". Shane grinned a bit: "And without it?". The sergenant noded pretending to be seriously: "The same sir". Cmdr. Shane Guzman XO/ACO USS Chimera & Sergeant Varinaris(npc) * "Well, I can't have you leaving for a while to go back to duty or your quarter's. Your going have to stay in here awhile for observation. This is an order you may follow," she said to him as he groaned and started to lay back down LtJg. MaiKai Quiocho AMO USS Chimera ========================== ===== If you wish hard enough...it might come true? Michael looked at the damage on the conduit and started to recall his basic engineering training, {what tool? Yes that is the question, but what is the answer?} Just as Michael was reliving some of his basic training the correct tool was placed under his nose. 2nd Lieutenant Michael McKnight ODA Assistant Commander USS Chimera ========================== ===== 'Shepherdess' Summers'?.... Yes, ma'am" he replied with a slight amusement in his voice. Rangi was called the "iron doctor" and even the most seasoned marines behaved like little sheeps while Rangi was in her kingdom/medical. as thought by Cmdr. Shane Guzman XO/ACO USS Chimera ========================== ===================== IRC Quotes none this time. Suggest some next week (and thus get eternal fame)! ========================== ===================== Logging: 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 USSchimeraCommand@yahoogroups.com) 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, BGen Bretam Keylor 240502.01, CO Personal Log, BGen Bretam Keylor 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?
