[open] The Old West!

[Cadet Zackery Syda]

With all his work currently finished, Zack decided to go to the holodeck for his relaxation time. Although he liked learning about the Borg, and thought they had interesting technology, he had gotten more than his dose of daily Borg when they had boarded the ship in what seemed an endless battle! And one of his friends almost got assimilated!

Thanks to quick thinking, and an ounce of courage Zack had been able to take down the drone, and save his friend from the unpleasant fate of assimilation. The holodeck program that the cadet decided to run was that of western number. Took place in the 1860s. He had even changed his clothing.

Zack had on boots, stirrups, cowboy hat, light brown leather vest, and a gold star that said Sheriff. He looked somewhat similar to the character Luke Macahan, from a very old TV series called How The West Was Won. Although in this program his location was Dakota Territory, out in the Black Hills.

Meanwhile, Zack just walked the streets of the tows; his spurrs making that jingle sound with every step.


(OOC: If you want a better picture of what he looks like just Google: Like Macahan, How The West Was Won. At the moment I've no pic.)

[Ensign Mary Anne Summers]

Per her usual demeanor Miss Mary Anne Summers was lightly skipping down the ships corridor, straight on her way to the holodeck. She had planned to run one of her own programs that she created. She was also excited that the 'excitement' was all over with. That Borg attack had been one heck of a fight! Thankfully they had managed to get out of it; even if it was in tiny pieces.

Some ship was better than none at all! And thanks to the engineers, and operations officers the USS Orion looked brand spankin' new! The crew was in much better spirits too! Doing a twirl upon reaching the holodeck doors they opened and Mary Anne found herself in what appeared to be some kind of Earth program. There were many wooden places.

Also a dusty, dirty...road? A carriage with two men sitting on it pulled by a few horses passed her by. Looking around Mary Anne took in the words: Livery Stables, Bath House, Saloon and Hotel. It hit her also as she saw what everyone had on.

"This must be the old west." She put a finger to her lower lip. "I wonder who is running the program?" She then spotted a face she knew. "Well, howdy partner!" The medic said with the best southern accent she could muster up as she gave a little wave in Cadet Zackery Syda's direction.

"Any troubles or excitement in these here parts?"

[Cadet Zackery Syda]

Adjusting his holster, vest, and hat, Zack hadn't heard anyone come through the holodeck doors. Then again he had quite neared the local Saloon and Hotel. That place was always busy with something! Sometimes even a live performance from a New York or Chicago actress. Just as Zack was about to continue his walking around town he stopped dead in his tracks as one of the barkeep literally booted out a drunk. "And stay out!" The holographic character hollered.

Zack was going to see what the fuss was about, and talk to the drunk to see if he needed to sleep in the jail. It was then he heard another voice.

"Well, howdy partner!"
"Any troubles or excitement in these here parts?"

Zack looked over to find Ensign Summers. One of the ships medics. What was she doing here?
"Howdy." Zack replied with an accent as well. He smiled as he had a thought. "Computer freeze program." After that command everything in the holodeck froze.

"Ensign," No. Zack was not going to ask her to leave nor was he going to ask what she was doing here. Instead Zack walked up to Ensign Summers. "would you care to join me?" Cadet Syda briefly looked Mary Anne up and down. He was trying to think what part she could play.

"Maybe as a southern-bell or a saloon girl, or maybe as a new settler in town?" The young man would let her decide what she want to be or if she even wanted to play out the program.

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

"Well, here we are!" Tiho announced excitedly, as she and Elise arrived outside of one of the holodecks on board the ship. La'Mara rubbed hr hands together enthusiastically, getting ready to see what the two of them could possibly run! However, the computer showed that a program was already running. It was a western program. This could be interesting.

"How do you feel about the old west?" La'Mara inquired. Sure it was not the best of manners to go in someone elses program, but, well it looked like fun! Besides, Captain Tiho had been planning to get to know each and every member that made up her crew.

She also thought it'd be a good idea if they also got to know one another off duty.Let's face it, that didn't always happen. Some people had to be...pushed. Like how the mommy bird pushed out the baby birds from the nest. "Shall we go in?"

Tag: Elise/Anyone

[Elise Triad]

Elise looked to her caption a moment as she gave some thought to the program that was running. Old west, ancient west, whatever you called it it was a time Elise has a slight interest in. Not from any real historical interest but more for a hobby.

This may be fun. she thought as she gave a slight nod to La'Mara at her last question ready to enter with the caption.

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

Looked like they both were ready! So, La'Mara went through the doors first. It was quite a nice recreation! Livery stable, Sheriff office, Bath house, and so on. It was great!

Walking the dusty road La'Mara spotted Cadet Syda, and Ensign Summers. Looked like the ensign was planning to join the fun as well! "Howdy yall." Tiho said to the two other officers. She smiled. "Do you mind if we join in the fun too?"

(OOC: Sorry so short. I'm so tired I'm having trouble thinking straight. Think my Thyroid med needs to be adjusted again.)

[Elise Triad]

Elise walked in behind her caption blinking some looking at the ground. She needed some time for her eyes to adjust to the brighter light, computer generated or not it was brighter then the lights on the ship. Elise blinked a few more times then looked up to see La'Mara, Zack and Mary then looked around the street.
