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.

Walking into the holodeck, not expecting anything but the grids of the holomatric, Grainne looked up from her PADD in surprise to find it already occupied. "Ah..." Walking from one ship to an entirely different one was a little bit, just a tiny bit, jarring, but she recovered quickly.

"Ah, excuse me, I didn't realize someone was using the holodeck..." It's a soft apology, but she looked around, curious at the surroundings. She hadn't known ship simulations were available, and then she caught sight of Saturn and openly stared.

"It's okay."

Then Pike caught sight of her staring at Saturn, "It's pretty isn't it?"

"Aah... yes. And a bit frightening. I've never seen it up this close." She blinked, then looked at the space around it and felt a little bit of vertigo. Going near the viewports had gotten her at least a little bit more used to the view of space, but it still reminded her from time to time of the Tower. The planet really helped keep her focus though, and that it was a simulation.

"At least, an image of it up this close. I've seen it many times in the sky."
