Welcome to the Holodeck!

Each Saturday, join the Enterprise crew and your fellow travelers to meet new arrivals, catch up with those you haven't seen in a few days, or try a new drink. This week, the traveler liaison program, along with the help of the Deck 5 Lounge staff, have decided to theme the evening on the holodeck. Welcome to a forest getaway. It's late afternoon into evening, an outdoor bar is set up alongside a campfire, picnic tables, and a lake with canoes. Enjoy stargazing as the sun goes down.

As the new lead of the morale team, Katie thought she really ought to be at something like this or maybe that was just a really good excuse to come to a party. This ship was really different from home, but she liked it. She'd made some good friends here, she had a few key people from home and she really liked the work she was doing with the liaison office. Being offer the lead for ship morale had been a surprise, but she was excited about that, too. It was going to be fantastic implementing some of the ideas she'd already gotten.

After paying Alicia a visit at the bar, Katie had the drink her best mate had made just for her and she was making her way around the holodeck, taking note of the others who had showed up for this event. She was really pleased with how it had come together. The atmosphere was perfect, the breeze and the fireglow as realistic as the genuine article. She couldn't help being proud of the the work the rest of the liaison department and the lounge staff had done with it.

Looking around again, she couldn't help hoping she might run into a certain helmman, but she didn't let her linger on the thought for long as she focused on mingling.

KATIE + LISSA

Lissa was just the sort of person who wanted to tell someone when they'd done an amazing job, so when she saw one of the people who had been in charge of organizing this event she headed towards her. Lissa did like the change up, it gave a little bit more dynamic, and even though the ship was huge, a change was always nice.

"Katie right?" Lissa asked with a polite smile, she knew she was right, but given the number of people here who had people who looked like each other, she wanted to make sure. "I just wanted to come and tell you that this is an amazing job."

Katie turned a bright smile on the younger blonde who'd approached her. Lissa, she thought her name was, if she remembered correctly. She wasn't the only traveler liaison by any means and didn't get the chance to meet everyone, but she tried to pay attention to who else was on the ship.

"Right!" she confirmed. Her smile grew as she nodded. "Thank you. I'm glad everyone else seems to like it," she said. "It's Lissa, right?"

	"It's a good change of pace, and I know a lot of people are probably very excited to get any kind of taste of the outdoors again." Even if people could come use it themselves, a group thing was different, and Lissa knew that something someone else organized might help those that were struggling. "Yes, it's Lissa," she said with a warm smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It's easy to feel cooped up and restless stuck in a spaceship," Katie said, nodding her head. "The holodeck might be an illusion, but at least it has the feel of being outside. I think that's something a lot of us have been craving."

"It's nice to meet you, Lissa," she said warmly, holding out her hand to the other young woman. "How are you finding life on a spaceship?"

	"It's a very remarkable illusion," Lissa really did think that it was. Shaking Katie's hand she smiled. "It's very different, but it's interesting being here and seeing the world from such a different perspective, meeting so many people from so many places is amazing, how about you?"

"Almost like magic," Katie commented with a grin, "but it's much better than any magic I could come up with." The holodeck was beyond anything she could ever hope to create.

She nodded as she returned Lissa's grip firmly. "It's pretty fantastic," she agreed. "I've met so many cool people and getting to see that planet was pretty cool, too. It's really different from home, but it's a hell of an adventure."

Lissa knew a little bit about the magic that Katie and her friends had, well as much as one could know that had read the books and seen the movies and spoke to some of them. "You never know, you might get to this level someday." Lissa always was optimistic on that sort of stuff, hard work and such.

"Sometimes it's overwhelming how many people there are from such wildly different places. It's the good kind of overwhelming." She didn't want it to sound like she didn't like it, because she did like it.

"I'm not sure even Dumbledore could have pulled something like this off," Katie said, shaking her head. "The technology here is something else. It's amazing the things it can do! My mate Ginny even figured out how to turn it into a quidditch pitch so you muggles can play!"

All of those capabilities amazed her. It was incredible what was possible on this ship. Katie was still learning her way around and how to make use of it all, but she thought it was really cool.

She nodded, agreeing with Lissa's comment about how overwhelming it could be. "I'm honestly still adjusting to everything, but I do really like it here."

	"My friend Rose would love that," Lissa knew Rose would really love being able to play Quidditch. "It does take time to adjust, I think a majority of us are still trying to get used to the concept of living in space." It was after all a little bit insane to a good number of the people there.

Katie nodded at that. "It's mental, isn't it? I never would have believed anything like this was possible before I woke up in the middle of it." Katie thought she was taking it pretty well, considering how different it was. It was like a completely different life she was living compared to home. Fun, but it definitely took some getting used to. In a way, it was nice to know she wasn't the only one.

	"Seeing it on TV is a different thing, but I guess we all have something in our worlds that others might find unbelievable." Lissa knew that hers did. "I'm going to get another drink, would you like something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I should probably do some more mingling," Katie said, shaking her head. "It was really nice meeting you, Lissa. I hope we'll have the change to talk again sometime." (Reply to this) (Parent)
