Holodeck/Holographic Combat simulator

[Captain Jeff Addison]

Holodeck and training room

[Sinopa Pallaton]

After leaving the captains office he was enraged but it was controlled, kept in its place masked so well no one not even Addison could detect it. It was a skill necessary to a warrior. To allow rage to take control was to lose before you entered into a battle or a raid. And he was not one to lose, nor where his people from such foolishness.

He reached the holodeck, then walked to the first holosuite he saw. Entering his access code, he watched as the lights on the control panel flashed indicating the program was being installed. Within a few seconds the hiss of the door was heard and the computer voice told him to enter.

Walking in he turned to get his tribal clothing off the hook, quickly changing, he untied his hair allowing it to fall naturally. He turned and faced the woods of his home planet. He heard the cries of the waking birds, rustling of some bushes perhaps a small animal was there moving to find its breakfast. Sinopa's mind was not on a hunt, he looked straight ahead and saw the columns of smoke from the fires of his village.

Not even the occupation of the Klingon's could get them to change there ways. And it was the Klingon's who left before the end of their war. And they reverted back to the path they knew well. The one walked by the ancients. Sinopa looked up at the sky and yelled out a cry primordial in nature. Then as if his feet had a will of their own he ran with the swiftness of the wind.

He ran deeper into the woods, listening for any sounds of danger. He came to a steep incline and began to run up he had to lean forward slightly, his pace never slowed. His rage was still in him pushing him forward. He came to downed tree in the middle of the steep inclined still running he leaped over the tree. Continuing on his run the joy usually felt was absent. His hair flowing behind him, he kept his mind still and off the captain and vacant agreements.

His ran continued for the next few miles taking him to a lake feed by a swift stream. He stood at the edge of the river his breath coming in deep slow breaths. Hearing the screech of a bird that was moving on its prey, he looked up then went to the village. He entered his fathers lodging, being greeted by his parents and 2 siblings still too young to be on their own. His father and siblings left to go to the lake to bathe while his mother prepared breakfast.

It was the changing of the seasons from summer to fall and the morning was cold, they entered the lake together the water even colder then the air. Sinopa's teeth clenched before starting to shiver. Following the bath they ran to back to have breakfast. It was here he ended the program. His rage now absent, he considered the path he now walked as he made his way back to his quarters.

[Sinopa Pallaton]

He stood there and then checked to see if the program had been added. He saw it had but before he would he use it, he decided to make sure that no one had tinkered with it. In his short time with the Terrans he had learned to doubt their word.

He saw they would need to have the clothing for the woman and he made the adjustment otherwise it was perfect. He made the reservation for the room, and then left.

They would all be here in the morning before sunrise when the woman would wake, and bathe then make breakfast. Sinopa would take his bath shortly after they returned.

[ootadabun]

Walking to the Holodeck she met Tracy."Tracy are you prepared for this morning?We can enter in our uniforms since the first thing we shall be doing is bathing."

[Lt. Tracy Jones]

Walking to the Holo deck he sees Oota "Yes I'm ready" she walks up to the door "We bath first" she nods as she waits for Oota

[ootadabun]

Nodding she hit the keys and waited as the lights flashed behind the door and then hissed open.The view was a frosty plain with buffalo hide tipis (or teepee's) in the near distance.Smoke was rising from the center of the village.People could be seen walking around the village.

"Come Tracy we shall go to my tipis and get our proper clothing then we will go with the women to bathe.I must warn you the water is colder than the air and we can see our breath.The cold of the water helps our people remain strong."

[Lt. Tracy Jones]

The door hissed open. She saw a view of a frosty plain with teepee's in the near distance. Smoke was rising from the center of the village. She could see people walking around the village.

" Lead the way Tracy follows Oopa to her tipis to get ready to go bathe with the other women I'm ready she said as she looked around The village is very nice"

[ootadabun]

Grabbing two deer skin dresses she handed one to Tracy.As the woman gathered to go bathe she said "Oki" (hello) to those who walked by.Leading Tracy to the river with the others she took off her uniform and stepped into the very cold water.Gritting her teeth so they would not chatter she began to briskly wash herself.

She dunked her head into the water making sure she got her hair completely wet."I warned you the water was cold Tracy but it is refrigerating at the same time is it not?"

[Lt. Tracy Jones]

She took the Deer skin dress and followed Oota, she repeated what Oota said "Oki" to all who walked past.

At the river edges she got out of her uniform, the cold air hit her and she gasped she then stepped into the very cold water "Wow this is cold" she quickly dunked her head in the water getting her hair all wet, then briskly washed her self "Yes its very cold but quite refreshing" She looks around at all the women washing then she looked back at the village

She then looked at Oota "So any males ever sneak a peek or females at them?" she asked as she washed

[ootadabun]

Laughing,"A few of the younger ones do from time to time but they are caught by the older ones and they make sure they never do it again."

Taking a hand of loose sand from the river bottom."You can use the sand to clean with by gently rubbing it over your skin like so."

[Lt. Tracy Jones]

Tracy gets a hand full of sand and rubs it over her body"That feels good" she says then she laughs "I guess boys will be boys"

[ootadabun]

Laughing again as she understood Tracy's meaning.She noticed the other women getting out of the river."Come Tracy lets get dried off."She walked out of the water and grabbed two strips of buffalo skin and handed Tracy one.

Using the fur on the skin to dry off she wrung the water from her long hair.Once dry she put on her deer skin dress and moccasins.Grabbing a clay pot she filled it with water from the river."Now we go back to the village and begin to make breakfast."

[Lt. Tracy Jones]

Tracy exits the river and takes the buffalo skin and dries off "That's soft" she says then she puts on her deer skin dress and moccasins, the cloth were quite comfortable on her, following Oota she takes a clay pot and gets water from the river, then heads to make breakfast

[ootadabun]

She led Tracy back to the village and to an empty fire pit."We normally eat buffalo much of it dried into jerky.But today we will make a warm breakfast.Tracy could you gather some firewood from over there I will get the tinder going."


She gathered some twigs and dried grass and put it in a loose bundle.Reaching into a pouch she wore on her dress she pulled out a piece of flint and a hard smooth stone.Putting the tender in the fire pit she began striking the flint against the stone making sparks.

After several minutes the tender started to smoke.Leaning forward she blew on the tender until a small flame started.She let it build up into a small fire.Seeing Tracy had returned."Now we place the wood around the tender in a circle like so.Here you place the rest of the wood Tracy."

Turning to an older woman next to them she began talking in her native tongue.Smiling,"It seems we have fresh meat to make today .We are going to make a ground squirrel stew it is warm and very good."

[Lt. Tracy Jones]

Tracy follows "That sounds good" she then gathers fire wood from were Oota showed her, placing the wood in a circle around the tender "I have never had squirrel before this will be new" she smiles
