Love the sentiment, Captain! Best to you this holiday season as well!

While en route to the USS Coxeter's last known coordinates, the crew finds out that the Coxeter's tesseract drive leaves no trail and its impulse engines are good old fashioned nuclear fusion. If they are not at the last coordinates, we have, so far, no way to find their trail. 101206.txt

The Command Staff is Pleased to Present The Meritorious Achievement Award for Exceptional Logs to Vakhtang Dalsazashvili for A Concert For One

Leslie Nielsen! Can hardly believe he's gone. I'll show my age and say that he was my first heart-throb as Francis Marion in The Swamp Fox. Wonderful actor, great person! Godspeed, Leslie!

And rightfully so. 'Twas a good game! Two other good ones that kept us up late last night: Georgia/ Georgia Tech Oklahoma/ Oklahoma State

True for some, Crash, but not for all. One such school that does not adhere to that rule is Penn State. JoePa's thought: it's just a game. What happens in life after the game is what really matters - IE: life matters, not football. One small example: anyone in the team messes up and the entire team cleans the stadium - after every game - and the team pays the kids who normally do it. Happened in 2007: Another thing - the players do not wear their names on their uniforms. It's a team, not an individual effort. I know there are other colleges and universities out there who do the same. I just happen to know a lot about Penn State. Still, I agree that there are some schools that put too much emphasis on things that, in the grand scheme, matter little.

Hi, TKAR! Happy Thanksgiving to you, too! I hope you and your family have a wonderful day!

Manticore continues on course to find the missing USS Coxeter, a ship that was testing a Tesseract drive. 101122.txt

Chocolate Cake and a Tesseract Drive Jami Farrington relaxed behind the operations console, sipping a hot cup of freshly-brewed coffee. Being at home - in their own universe, or reality, or whatever the most current word was for it among the crew - was comforting, interesting, and stimulating, all at the same time. Comforting. They were home. She had her coffee. The ship was running smoothly for the first time in a while. And they had a mission that sounded like a mission of mercy - finding the Coxeter, making like a deep space tug, and hauling them home. Piece o’ cake. Which... sounds like a pretty good idea. Goes with coffee. Wonder if they have any in sick bay.... Interesting. The Coxeter had a Hexacosichoron engine design, part of the Tesseract Drive project that, according to T’Prise, was very similar to a project she had worked on. Anyway, it was interesting, not only because of the concept but because no one could pronounce the name - except the science and engineering geeks. Brain strain had caused the rest of the crew to develop their own monikers, like Hex design (loaded with all kinds of overtones), Coco design (no doubt the invention of a chocolate lover - probably the ensign on deck 8 who kept complaining about the quality of chocolate produced by her quarters’ replicator), and the Ron engine (for those who swoon over Lt. Ron in engineering or for the lazy among us who only remember the last part of the word). Tesseract wasn’t that hard. Most had heard the name before. Still, there were some who, out of habit or wanting to coin the latest catch word, shortened it to Tess, Tesser, or Tact. She’d even heard Tessie, which at one point had morphed into Nessie - and that was a whole ‘nother country. Work OPS and you hear more than you really want to. Stimulating? OPS was always stimulating, but what had Jami going was the fate of the Coxeter and why it may have gone missing. T’Prise and the ill-fated Pergrination Project kept rolling around in her head. If the Coxeter had the same problem as the Pergrination Project...? Jami stowed her cup and leaned forward to check the console. Their newest crewmember, Ensign Vakhtang Dalsazashvili, had just entered the holodeck. As usual, when business was slow and her mind was wandering, she wondered what he did for down-time. His personnel file said he is a pianist. But he also liked to tinker with things.... “Commander Farrignton?” Cmdr Precip was back as Chief of Security. Seemed like old times. “Curious how we are going to play this one. I mean our tug boat story of old would work wondrously here.” “True, Mr. Precip,” she replied, her eyes on a slight power fluctuation that needed correcting. “Actually, that is what we are doing. Search and Rescue.” Definitely a question. Apparently Mitar had the same apprehensions she did. She took a sip and looked over her shoulder to give him an encouraging nod. Hopefully it would be search and rescue - not search and recover. The ship purred along, its crew busy with... upgrades, new ship configuration, and whatever else they were doing. For once there was no emergency. Jami relaxed in her chair. ETA to Coexeter’s last known coordinates was... eight days and change. Life was good. And she was still wondering about that chocolate cake in sick bay.

Kansas Kenickie -> ::Walks out the door:: Come on killer Cmdr JFarrington -> ::glance to Keb and the others around the bridge, swiveling her chair so she can see them all:: Turris Morran -> +Faldek+ Morran here. MC_Escher -> ::shakes head emphatically:: No no, the first phase is to be deployed on a shuttle. And the actually armor would be deployed like shields, when we're out of warp; it wouldn't stay on the ship all the time Jaiysa t'Tamarak -> What needs to be moved? Mitar Precip -> I mean I guess from a psychological perspective...maybe the beauty of space....to grace us all...but..what a vulnerability issue. ::shakes head:: Eva Jaz -> ::exits TL. heading to the bridge as quickly as possible with her tray :: T'Prise -> :; Quirks her brow again. :: Apparently that would not be an incorrect assumption.

Vilanne -> Files and stuff? ::glances at Asteria:: Eva Jaz -> << well he'll be late for coffee>> Cmdr JFarrington -> Wholeheartedly agree, Mitar. But then there's the boredom issue. Or maybe someone thought they wanted to use up some material that they had hanging around. You never know with Starfleet. McFly -> ::catches up and wraps his arm around her as they walk down the hall:: i was thinking tonight we could celebrate in the new observation lounge Eva Jaz -> ::enters bridge:: Coffee Run!

Vakhtang_Dalsazashvili -> ::grabs a tool kit and heads out of ME:: Eva Jaz -> Jami> It would be appreciated , it's getting a little heavy LtCdrFaldek -> +Science+ The Chief Engineer... MC_Escher -> Sort of. The color would probably be black, and it would feel to the touch much harder than any natural occuring mold. It is, after all, a high-grade ablative shield. We would seed the hull with invisible growth points, which are small... Vilanne -> Are they all moved down here, or still in your last position's office? Cmdr JFarrington -> ::takes the tea and a few mugs off the tray, passing them around::: Vakhtang_Dalsazashvili -> ::enters the TL:: Enlisted quarters. Mitar Precip -> Use up material....if those guys have resorted to that..I am going to file an issue with ASDB.

Er... i'm not a lay-man but it's been a long time since i've gone into something like this. Vilanne -> Maybe we can help you move those onto the shelves and drawers.

But if it is standard viewport material...I am really going to be upset. Cmdr JFarrington -> ::sits, pulling up the specs on the viewport, splitscreen::: Admiral Atragon-9 -> And you can keep this bioarmor from covering sensor points, weapons arrays and windows? Keb -> ::sips yummy hot chocolate:: Thanks, Eva. Cmdr JFarrington -> :headshake:: Not standard. Some kind of new... something. Looks impressive. Vilanne -> Cool. ::moves towards Asteria's new digs:: I think housekeeping was in there a couple times... so it shouldn't be too bad. LtCdrFaldek -> ::is now sitting in his office, looking at his "laptop', confused beyond belief:: Kansas Kenickie -> a Uniform is not hot Vakhtang_Dalsazashvili -> ::opens up the door as Jackson is on duty somewhere:: Ian_Syndrx -> ::blinks a moment as he unravels her statement, then responds:: except in four dimensions McFly -> it's hot on you, babe Eva Jaz -> ::looks around :: Everybody 's got what they need ? If so I'll get back to sb to do some .. medical work..... MC_Escher -> ::cringes:: I can get you two out of three. Sensor nodes and weapons - and all other vital ship apparatus - will be untouched. However, if windows were also excluded there would be a drastic dropoff in efficacy, to the point where it wouldn't be worth it Mitar Precip -> Looks thicker, again I'll have to ask an engineer as to what that material is..and how strong is it. Vakhtang_Dalsazashvili -> ::moves to the sonic shower:: T'Prise -> +Faldek+ Our briefing provides all the information that is currently available. It will be updated as we continue the mission.

Mitar Precip -> ::happy with tea:: Admiral Atragon-9 -> fair enough, but if we don't cover the sensors and ordnance, won't that also degrade the effectiveness? McFly -> you do give me fever Vakhtang_Dalsazashvili -> ::starts looking around, running the tricorder all over:: Cmdr JFarrington -> ::swivels back:: And from the looks of it, the armor can be deployed over it, too, if need be.

(( Eng: Turn down heat in McFly's room)) Cmdr JFarrington -> But then, we'd not have a front row seat. ::wry grin::: Mitar Precip -> Thank goodness...You realize if that were standard viewport glass..any gunner could of sliced the main TL access to Deck two and the Bridge. Mitar Precip -> ::sips tea:: T'Prise -> :: Syndrx :: Slipstream can be modified to facilitate travel between dimensions and realities. Our last mission is a good example of this.

MC_Escher -> ::nods:: Yes, but the idea here is that this armor is to supplement weapons damage, not supplant it. Our normal shield should still be in place. Our weak spots wouldn't be affected because they tend to require being open - things like sensor arrays... Keb -> ::nibbles one:: Absolutely perfect. T'Prise -> I am curious as to its design. The concept is fascinating.

Welcome, Drayvend! As "Crash" Calestorm mentioned, we do, indeed have a great variety of eras, as well as ships and stations from which to choose. Enjoy your time in the academy - I look forward to seeing you there!

Ditto for me. I use FF to compose, then shift to Chrome to post. Maybe some day FF will get the message.

Robert Long graduated in the Tuesday Academy on 11.9.2010! Congratulations, Robert!

Attached is Manticore's chat log. We left Maturin Station, Asteria Jaxa became the new Counselor, Mitar Precip returns to CSEC but he gives McFly the bigger quarters, Escher and T'Prise discussed emotions and proper decorum, and Medical tried to hunt down the new people for physicals. All while flying to find an Olympic-class ship with no warp nacelles that can be anywhere at any time, instantly. TBS was 24 hours. 101108.txt

The Oz Factor Costumes and costume parties were not Jami Farrington’s strong point, but to boost morale and maybe get her mind off everything that had happened in the last few weeks - like the Federation-Arcturan War that happened but didn’t - she decided to play along. But what to wear to the Halloween hoedown? Good? Bad? Just plain ugly? At first she considered dressing as a French maid, mostly because being in ship operations sometimes made her feel like one. But given the sexual overtones, she scrapped the idea, knowing the crude jokes and innuendos would haunt her for days. The maid’s alter-ego didn’t work for her either - CJAN and OPS didn’t mix, except that every time Ens Dolittle called with a backed up bodily waste recycler, Jami had the urge to check her uniform and see if it had morphed into janitor’s overalls. Strangely enough, the ensign hadn’t called since Jami had shown up at her door and plunked a plunger firmly on the her immaculate non-regulation coiffure. Command rank did have its perks. Eventually Jami had chosen a passable costume of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, which had its good points and its bad points, the worst point being the ruby slippers. Despite regulations about mandatory footwear in common areas on the ship - IE: anywhere outside your quarters - Jami had the ruby slippers in hand soon after she entered Manticore’s lift, and had proceeded to massage one foot, then the other, as the lift began its journey. At the envious expression of a junior officer next to her, Jami said, “Go for it,” while she worked the kinks out of her wrenched arches before the doors opened on deck six. But she had to admit, the party had been a success, and Jami had enjoyed watching the crew and subconsciously psychoanalyzing their choices. Vilanne chose to be a Borg mistress and Jaisya a uniformed member of the Rihan Galae. Beran sported his Cardassian military uniform with Keb next to him as a rather impressive Klingon warrior - an interesting mix. Asteria changed species to Vulcan while Eva changed to Andorian, and Margaux was a voodoo priestess with Kyle in full Scottish regalia - another interesting combination. Kansas was a parochial school girl. Malcolm put together an 18th century Vulcan costume. Ian seemed the most appropriate, a holographic ghost continuously at his six. Jami noticed a few had come in dress uniform, and it looked as though some opted to stay home, but she did spy Sovak as a surprisingly convincing country hick, and she nearly lost her drink as Atragon let off steam. She was Dorothy, but she really didn’t want to analyze that. And the ruby slippers? They rivaled the worst tortures from earth’s middle ages. Tossing them immediately into the recycler as she entered their quarters, Jami made a mental note to be more specific when replicating anything like that next time. “Ruby” referred to color and did not necessarily mean they should be made with rubies, nor should they be as hard as. A hot shower and a cup of tea later, and Jami snuggled under the covers, recalling Atragon’s final words - appropriate on many levels. There’s no place like home, eh Jami? She had to agree, even if home, at this point, was the USS Manticore on Maturin Station.

Boo-yeah, Will. Awesome meeting of the ships there. On another note, I came home to the smell of burned popcorn tonight. Kids (read: teens) decided that 8pm was a good time to start experimenting in the kitchen. Having burned the popcorn, they asked me where the deep fryer was, said they were going to make donuts (never have before, mind you). Would they take my suggestion that late at night was not a good time to make donuts? NoooOOOooooooo... Images of total annihilation of kitchen - possibly house - filled my brain as I logged on for the academy. But what to my wondering eyes should appear? The most perfect first-time donuts I've ever seen/tasted in my life!!! Oy. So much for the diet! Not bad for a teen, though. ::beam:: With apologies to the Hood.
