=/\= Holodeck 2 =/\= Acheson walked around the circle watching each kid play the simulator. They seemed to be having a good enough time and their opponent, simulated Romulan fighters, were challenging enough. As he walked around, he noticed one empty seat. It wasn't the kid who had wanted to play a Romulan. He was having a good time. It was another of them. "Son of a" he found himself censoring himself: "gun. Where is John?" Nobody seemed to know. "+TAPS+ ODA to Holodeck 2. I need assistance." Voice that answered the call was Cadet Mcknight. Having had a meeting with the Marine CO he had some free time before his standard medical. “+TAPS+ McKinght here, I am on my way.” Acheson nodded to the omniscent communication. McKnight? Never heard of him. He continued to walk around and watch the children, waiting for McKnight's arrival. Michael rushed a fast a he could to the Holodeck having no idea what kind of assistance was needed. He could feel his blood racing around his body as he stormed into the Holodeck unaware of what was going on. To his surprise nothing in the room seemed amiss, there was no commotion and nothing other than a simulation appeared to be happening. “Cadet McKnight, Assistant ODA Commander.” Michael was very careful when using the word ‘Commander,’ he knew that until he got his commission everybody on the ship outranked him. “How can I be of assistance, Sir?” Acheson nodded and smiled: "Please to meet you. I'm Captain Acheson, Chief Tactical here on the ship. I took these kids to the holodeck and one escaped. I've had the remainder sent back to the Mess Hall and need to begin a search for the missing kid." Michael responded trying to look as professional and curm in front of the officer that was standing in front of him. “I understand, Captain. Kids can be a bid pain in the...you know what.” Michael gingerly looked around as if trying to guess what the captain was going to ask of him. “What would you like me to do first, start searching?” "I want to start a search with you. I figure 2 heads are better than one for finding this kid and we might be able to help each other." He turned back. "So let's go!" With that, he walked out of the holodeck with Cadet McKnight at his side. "So the question becomes, if you're 16, where do you go on this ship?" =/\= END LOG =/\= Cadet McKnight Assistant ODA CO USS Chimera and MCapt Acheson CTAC USS Chimera -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm
