Like I mentioned in my letter, I've got some very big shoes to fill...I'm hoping to be able to do as good a job as Regan. I want to once again thank regan for her hard work and dedication to Avalon and know that she'll do much more for the sim in the future.   I noticed a great deal of Joint Logs in the last batch of logs for the week. By all means, if you can get a JL in, it still counts towards your log count for the week. So keep those JL's coming!   Lastly...make sure that you bring any missed logs to my attention. I'm only human and might miss one or two of your logs. Thanks   Lt Cmdr Cooper Williams Executive Officer USS Avalon   -----------------------------------------------------------------------   NON LOGGING POLICY:   If you aren't able to log for a week please drop a line to the Command Staff letting us know about it and you'll be excused.   If after three weeks you haven't posted a log or presented an excuse, we will have no choice but to drop you from the roster.  We do not accept excuses sent after the deadline.   =========================================================================== REMINDERS: ===========================================================================   Please take sometime to update your BIOs on the UCIP database.  If you lost or don't remember your password, email    with your IDB # and they will give you the new info. -----------------------------------------------------------------------   All Suggestions, Plot Ideas, Comments, General Questions, etc, please e-mail to either Rear Admiral Sean Reece    or LtCommander Cooper Williams -----------------------------------------------------------------------   Take a look at the site:   http://www.ucip.org/avalon Please send us your opinions, comments and corrections.   =========================================================================== LISTSERVS: ===========================================================================                  avalon@ucip.org --> for posting logs     avalon-ooc@yahoogroups.com --> for discussions and OOC comments. ussavalonstaff@yahoogroups.com --> for reaching the CO, XO and 2XO at once.   =========================================================================== PLOT SUMMARY: =========================================================================== Negotiations with the Nij begin. Admr Reece and company find out that the Nij are actually the weaker of the two races vying for power and that they will be destroyed by the Civ'a. This infuriates the Admiral who withdraws the offer of peace until the Nij are ready. Reece and his party beam back aboard and Avalon speeds back across the Nij/Civ'a Boarder.   Ens Petrovna settles into her quarters before heading off to sickbay to report in.   Chatham and Ary's date gets into full swing. Conversation get deep into Chatham's culture and background. After dinner and some sweet talking the couple headed into another room for some non pg-13 entertainment.   Coop and Nicole wake up the next morning in each other's arms in Coop's bed. After not wanting to get up the couple lays in bed just long enough to recieve a call from Nicole's older brother. After trying to get Coop to meet with him and talk to him about Nicole, Coop stands up to him and ends the conversation. =========================================================================== SIM QUOTES:                                          Prepared by Scott Iron ===========================================================================   "It seemed ridiculous to fear the Nij, after all, she had never seen one. Never heard their voice over the comms. They were supposed to be reptilian, but for all she knew they could be giant snakes with wings. That image oddly comforted her..."  - Ens Rhyannon Stadi (Perhaps the Ensign would better enjoy a career in psychology...self evaluations are the first step!)   "What ship are we on anyway? The Love Boat?" - OOC Comment by Civ Tom Brown (::Love boat theme plays in the background::Nuff said ;-)   "Baby...I don't want to get up...I'm happy just where I am..." LtCmdr Cooper Williams   "All's well that ends well..." - Ens Scott Iron   =========================================================================== PERSONNEL ISSUES: ===========================================================================   PROMOTIONS: **************** None this week...   AWARDS: **************** None this week...   ACADEMY: **************** Name: Date: Course: Grade:   ***   Promotion to the rank of Lt will require completion of the Advanced course relevant to your Department.
