Hello valiant crew! This week we've started the second hunderd of simming weeks. May everyone enjoy writting and simming the next 100 weeks like we enjoyed the first 100 ones. Thank you all again for your dedication and enthusiasm! Again an active and eventfull week is behind us. The plot moved again a bit forward with finding the USS Gott and there is a lot of what to log for everyone. I must say that I am impressed with the effort our might ODA members have shown this week. All members of that department logged this week and some managed to write 2 or 3 logs. A way to go! Special thanks go to Rangi and Bren for hitting 5 respectively 4 logs this week. Not much what to say else ... n'joy simming folks! ::waves:: Mumacik =========================================================================== There are a number of e-mail lists that are available to you as members of the UCIP.

Sci: scan the Gott, scan the unstable anomaly Eng: continue to track down the anomalies in the readings, strenghten the temporal shields ODA: leave for the away mission Med: Prepare for casualities =========================================================================== Summary (by Queen Rangi) XO Shane Guzman was becoming annoyed at the length of time it was taking to find the USS Gott.He ordered cargo bay 3 to be made over into an emergency sickbay in anticipation of many casualties and wondered again if Samantha Palmer knew more than she revealed about the mission.He requested the counselor go to the Bridge.CMO Summers and AMO Fisher had overseen the preparations in the cargo bay.Both agreed that it wasnt an ideal situation and wished for a larger permanent sickbay. DCEO Sean McTaggert was still sure that despite the 100% efficiency throughout the ship, there was something wrong.Released from his enforced stay in sickbay, Sean called Ens Rodgers to his office, praised his work and promoted him to Ltjg. giving him charge of Betw team. Shortly afterwards a call from the Bridge informed McTaggert that he was free to run the diagnostic scan he wanted but that impulse power and sensors have to remain online. Though Sean argued his case, Shane was adamant and Sean had no choice but to agree, setting his teams to work. ODA Commander Major Walsh remembered what it was he'd forgotten to do and summoned Lynch. They discussed the merits ..or lack of..of the flamethrower and a new 'invention' Lynch was working on and then Walsh surprised him with a promotion to Petty Officer 3rd Class. The Assistant ODA Commander was in sickbay, attending a routine medical checkup. Rangi told him she wanted to carry out her own examination of his sight condition and he agreed. She reminded him that attending revue appointments with his specialist was important but he was dismissive of the idea.As Rangi watched him leave sickbay she by how much he reminded her of Rob Richards. Commander Samantha Palmer worked alone in Astrometrics. She studied the sensor signals from the anomalies and discovered a way to allow them to scan the marsh more efficiently. Leaving her suggestions for Oriana, Samantha returned to her quarters.She soon noticed a strange thing happening.An ElAurian clock, kept soely for ornamental appeal, was ticking wildly.She remembered her brother telling her that the clock would only tick when in near an interference in the time line.She made her way to sickbay after arranging to meet Rangi there.She gave rangi a warning as to what to expect from crew affected by temporal pychosis. They discussed those most likely to suffer effects and long term results.Rangi still felt that Samantha was hiding something but gained no clue. Lt Wellington was in her office working on a report but her mind wandered to the suspicions she had about Samantha and Harker.Feeling restless, she headed for the mess hall.Athena couldnt rid herself of a headache and experienced a sense of deja vue. She knew that Samantha was avoiding her but couldnt tell why. 24 hours had passed since Chimera had arrived at the edge of the Spinward March. The General and Shane agreed that they would search for the Gott from her last known position and preparations were ordered. Engineering was informed that their diagnostics were to be suspended and green Alert was raised.The temporal shielding was activated and the crew was informed of events via shipwide Comm.They soon encountered a rift and in one 'time' were destroyed by it..in another they evaded it. Lt Rodgers was concerned at the 100% efficiency of the ships systems and his 'bad feeling' grew. Pvt Ra'nar went to sickbay to make an apology for his previous behaviour there which Rangi accepted. They discussed possible casualties from the coming mission and Rangi asked if he carried a euthanasia drug on missions and his opinion on using it. Ra'nar replied he would be prepared to do so and told her how he had ended his own fathers life. Over a hurried lunch in the Messhall, Terek and Rangi discussed X'Chi/ grasshopper anatomy before deciding to go to Astrometrics to search the database for previous scans.On the way there, they felt the effects of Chimeras contact with the anomaly.Terek was able to modify the sensors to detect emerging anomalies one and a half seconds more quickly.Rangi meanwhile had found scans of the X'chi that only added to their mystery. Jason Scott summoned Pvt Ra'nar to his quarters where he questioned him on the fight. Ra'nar admitted his part in it and was given the job of cleaning the Mess hall for a week as punishment. Oriana returned to Astrometrics and continued Ens Tereks work on finding the USS Gott.She made some slight progress and sent new coordinates to the Bridge, giving a 89.753% probability of success. Jason Scott tripped and fell in his quarters and relived the accident that had cost him his sight. In engineering McTaggert was more than displeased when he was ordered to break off the diagnostics, particularly as Rodgers reported finding something 'weird' in the Basic Command Modules.When the XO announcment told of enetering the marsh, McTaggert 'snapped' and he told the Bridge crew exactly what he thought in no uncertain terms....luckily for him it was in a time rift. Cortez went to see Lynch who was modifying the flamethrower and explained the new improvements.They decided Cortez would have the 'honour' of testing it in the holodeck which he did, successfully. Samantha returned to the Bridge as requested by the General.He asked her to monitor the sensors. She told him that a narrow passage between several large temporal disturbances was the only option. Yellow Alert was sounded and Chimera proceeded safely at first but soon encountering a powerful temporal burst and massive shockwave.As the danger passed, the computer activated a proximity alert. The USS Gott was right in front of them. The General asked for reports but sensor reports were unreliable to due the large anomalies nearby.Thinking sooner was better than later, he ordered preparations for the away teams. =========================================================================== Quotable Quotes "How time passes" Sean was in a bad mood. He had been forced to spend 24 hours unconscious in Sickbay, watched by the vigilant eyes of the entire Medical crew. Sean didn't know what hurt him most, the fact that Summers could take him out that easily, or that he had lost an entire day, when time seemed to be such a precious good at that moment. LT. Sean 'she's got me!' McTaggert (NPC) ----- "How to become an ODA CO" He had told Cortez and Lynch to get back on the case if they wanted the flamethrower idea pushed forward. Back at ODA Headquarters now he was in his office doing the usual crap that he usually did, nothing basically. Major Jack 'I am sooooo busy' Walsh ----- "What woman want" Athena had been about to add the temptation of chocolate along with the cup of tea when the LtCmdr. had been called to astrometrics. LT. Athena 'I am gonna get ya' Wellington =========================================================================== IRC Quotes =========================================================================== 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?
