On the Holodeck [Open]

[whistles_loudly]

In a way, Pike was glad that Kirk was no longer on the Enterprise. He was sure, once he managed to get his holodeck project up and running, the only person that would be using it more than him would be Kirk. Sure, Picard's Enterprise was nice, but in Pike's opinion, it paled in comparison to his own ship.

When the Holodeck doors opened, Pike was greeted by the sights and sounds of the Enterprise he captained for much less time than he originally thought. It was almost perfect, aside from the smell, but how does one program a smell into a computer program?

If anyone wandered into the holodeck, they'd find one very nostalgic Pike looking out of the 'viewscreen' at his favorite part of the solar system, Saturn and it's rings.

Trip entirely forgot his manners at finding himself on the bridge of a futuristic-looking ship, with a view of Saturn.

"This is the biggest bridge I've ever seen," he breathed, still amazed by it. Although he hadn't seen many, so that didn't say much.

As much as what he could see was interesting, he went over to the nearest console and tapped a few buttons.

Now Trip Tucker was someone Pike was familiar with, at least the history book version of him. He never thought he'd ever have the ability to meet anyone else from the original Enterprise crew besides T'Pol and Jon Archer. But the person that kept that ship running for the very first Federation Mission in space , was amazing to him.

"USS-Enterptise, NCC-1701, she's the Flagship."

"Of course she is, with a name like that." He looked up and grinned, comparing the name and number with the Enterprise they were currently on, and coming up with the right answer about the rough age of this one.

"I'm glad there's always going to be an Enterprise in Starfleet."
