: Senior staff posting level: 3
: Overall ship health: 3
: Ship status:
: We seem to have found a cure for the Vulcan Altzhiemer's disease effecting the colony world. This was phase one of our mission. Phase two was checking on survivors from a starship that got blown out of the sky by a Pre-Warp Medaevil World in the same system. Federation tech energy signatures have been detected on the pre-warp planet. Fortunately the Klingon Liason Officer has given us the fequency code for the Klingon Shields.
:
: We dropped our shields to beam over the medical shuttle crew to the ship. The Klingons are nuts from the disease. The theory is that the Klinons will be too busy concentrating on the pre-warp planet to mess with the Columbus. In theory.....
:
: Simple, right? Except that the mind disease has effected both a previous Klingon ship and a Starfleet ship that went to investigate. The Starfleet vessel destroyed our sister escort ship, the Sydney Harbour. The Klingons are messing around with the planet. It seems that this massive planetary energy beam is activated by active sensor sweeps of the planet.

: Oh, and now my devious GM the Tribble's on ELOA for a few weeks. This will totally stall the sim on hiatus. Not! Coz I can be Evil too.
:
: Spotlight(s):
: This month I spotlight Tom Hillman playing my Ship's CoS Vulcan/Human Sharpe. He who has the role of Vulcan down pat. And our ur CMO Tyra Scholl for her work on the Disease. And our CSO Elizabeth Caro for her work on the Disease. And anybody else putting up with my dare I humbly say Evil Machinations.

: - Scientists

: Notes:
: We need scientists! Then doctors. And medical people. And security officers. I'm opening up the race selections to almost anything. I can use Swings depending on what people want to play. A bartender and some generic nurses and bridge people would be nice.

: Fcomm report:
:
: Well there has definitely been an improvement this month to last month, Yay! I think we are officially back from vacation:) Heh I have to say that overall that things are going well on all the ships with the exception of the Columbus right now. Due to Russ' sudden eLOA it has thrown the ship into a bit of tailspin understandably. I am going to give Mike a shot at his bit of fill in Gming that he has in mind and see how he does. I am happy with the command crews on all the ships as they are posting and commanding pretty well. It can be difficult when we all have so many rl responsibilities:)

My apologies to all on the Columbus in Fleet 4 for my sudden disappearance. I"m pleased that people are still posting there somewhat.

I'll be back as soon as I can be.

One thing though, technically, my LOA isn't an extended LOA ... as it is 30 days :)
