The Following is the SIM Log for 241003.07, didn't know who all needed it so here it is for everyone.

[20:29] <@CHelm-LtCmdr-Invin> ::attn::
[20:31] <@CSec-LtCmdr_Lenera> ::attn::
01[20:33] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> Ok, thank you folks, as you can see due to a series of events, both planned and unplanned out entire Command Team is out of touch today, such is life can't hold them having lives against them right, so first order of business
01[20:33] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> why do we have 2 chief helms?
[20:33] <@CTac-Ens_Cunningham> One is our Chief Sci.
[20:34] <@CHelm-LtCmdr-Invin> Probably the Cortana
03[20:35] * ObsThomas sets mode: -o ObsThomas
01[20:35] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> alright bare with me for a moment as I get some last minute reading done on the plot we are running
01[20:36] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> ok before we go are their any OOC concerns or questions
01[20:38] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> Alright then
03[20:38] * CHelm-Ens_Jin is now known as CSci-Ens_Bowmen
01[20:39] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> Briefing: We are currently in quarintine with the XO stuck in the transporter room, the medical staff in sickbay, and the bridge isolated as well, our tests are complete and we are going to compile the data and try and figure out what is going on
01[20:39] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> any questions
[20:39] <@CSec-LtCmdr_Lenera> ::raises::
[20:40] <@CHelm-LtCmdr-Invin> ack
01[20:40] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> yes commander
[20:40] <@CSec-LtCmdr_Lenera> does this mean security is quarenteend too?
01[20:41] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> you are to roam the halls and keep the peace, show a presence, the events happening should be enough to crack anyone with a weaker mental condition or instability issues, keep the crazys from doing to much damage to themselves or us
[20:41] <@AgentM> <>
[20:42] <@CSec-LtCmdr_Lenera> ok ::attn::

[20:53] <@CHelm-LtCmdr-Invin> Might I suggest that engineering runs a diagnostic on the computer systems, Sir? Perhaps theres a virus hidden away in these subsystems

[21:13] <~Capt_House> ::takes the PADD and gives a look over it:: Hmmm..so this is what might be messing with us? ::more talking to himself but an opinion works as well::
[21:13] <@CHelm-LtCmdr-Invin> +TAPS+ Mr. Bowmen; I am going to send you my sensor scan data for your science team to work with, understood?

04[21:13] [&ShipLCARS SOUND]
01[21:14] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> sir, I think that the crew of that ship were brought over on the transporter carrier wave and are just outside our space time perceptions, we may be able to reinitialize their pattrens

04[21:16] [&ShipLCARS SOUND]
01[21:16] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> +taps+ Mr Cunningham, I need you to reprogram the transporter lock on system to detect temporal anomilities, then with the pattren info medical sent to you try to reinitialze the patterns while compensating for temporal varience
04[21:16] [&ShipLCARS SOUND]
[21:17] <@CSci-Ens_Bowmen> M> +taps+ So does that mean we can drop the quaratine? ::Shawn asked::
04[21:17] [&ShipLCARS SOUND]
[21:17] <~Capt_House> That sounds viable. Good idea, and good work everyone. Lets give it a shot.
[21:17] <@CTac-Ens_Cunningham> TR> +taps+ alright sir. I will get right on it. ::heads to the console at the far end of the room.::

01[21:24] <@ACO-Capt_Taggart> ACTION: The Transporter Padd glows and activates, soon 6 very confused looking individuals in star fleet uniforms appear, as they step off the padd 6 more appear, as the last 6 materialise the ship returns to normal, no light effects, sounds, or faces

[21:28] <~Capt_House> So we'll just be closing up this with a log or two and heading for a starbase. Free logging as you want. Any questions, IC or OOC?

Change of Command and information
Posted by Captain James House on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 @ 05:30pm
Category: General News

Its come to my attention that we have to have change. Because of this I have removed David and Me'Lonna from their positions as XO and 2XO. While I regret having to do this, it has to be done. (Both please contact me ASAP) In their places I've put October and Mooeypoo. They will be on 'probation' for a few weeks during this change as a trial period. Everyone please congradulate them on their new positions. Any questions or comments about this change direct them to me.

As for, as promised, the information I said I could get out to all of you by today.

The away team will end up running into heavy resistance on the Raptor. The key locations to take of course would be Engineering and the Bridge. Which are going to be the most heavily guarded area's. It is up to you if you get hurt, but the NPC security people with you some of them will get hurt and/or die. IF you don't end up getting with me to log out that before sim, we will do it Sunday during sim.

Thank you for your attention,

Captain James House
Commanding Officer
Reminder: SIM-Wide Staff Meeting tonight!

Ladies and gentleman,

This is your friendly reminder that tonight there will be a SIM-Wide Staff meeting one hour before scheduled SIM time. All members are encouraged to be there and missing out on tonight's discussions are greatly frowned upon. This meeting will take place in the Griffin's main channel.

Hope to see you there,

Sim Rating
Posted by Captain James House on Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 @ 11:13pm
Category: General News

Mooey pointed out, and its a good thing she did. That, the NC-17 rating. Actually no longer is a boarder between say PG-15(which is not a real one) and R. Which is where I had meant it to be at. It is actually the new rating to mean X-rated. So technically in my mishap we could have been posting full sexual content. Though lets not shall we. We've switched over to the game ratings. And set to Mature which is under Adult. And the explaination for that is not only on the sites main page now but I will put it here.

MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, strong sexual content, nudity, drug and alcohol use and strong language.

So..if you have any questions of where the line is to be drawn, please ask.

Thank you,
Captain James House

There is going to be a meeting before the Sim on sunday. Um..lets say about an hour before our normal time. If you can't be there I will make sure to get you a copy of the meeting after griffin sims.
