((USS Artemis, deck 2,Holodeck 1))
Vitor shook his head and gestured to the arch.
Silveira: Nah… There isn’t any need to be that accurate or immersive. The arcades will have free access. But don’t let me take all your lunch time. Let’s head to the Elysium and have something to eat.
Imril: Sounds good to me.
Silveira: I like how you're jumping in the project. Get those plans in shape and we can try them and see how it works. You're having some good ideas.
Imril: Response
Vitor gestured for Imril to pass as he ordered the computer to save the program and they left the holodeck.
((USS Artemis, deck 2))Imril followed the arcade magnate out of the Holodeck, making sure to snag a peek at the program’s name on the arch’s control console as they passed it. So they could call it up again later in their down time.
Silveira: So, tell me about yourself Imril. Where do you come from and how did you end up here?
Imril: Well, thirds -- androgynes, like myself -- aren’t treated equally where I came from. I never got to play games like these where I grew up, and that’s not the half of what I missed out on. I got away from Bactrica as soon as I could. Spent a few years on Bajor, studying my way up to earning a spot at Starfleet Academy. How about you?
Silveira: response
The Holodeck closed its doors, and a short walk to the turbolift doors awaited the pair. Imril continued to talk as they moved past a progression of officers and crewmen who were very much on duty. Lots of places that needed going to and briskly. Any one of them might be someone who found something to enjoy in the gaming palace that was being devised. The thought of being part of something that might bring people together like that was a warming one to the Ensign.
Imril: What gave you the idea to put together all of those games from so long ago? Are you an aficionado of that era of Earth history?
Silveira: response
A corner or two later, a turbolift door opened to them. A Selkie woman that Imril wasn’t familiar with stepped out, a Petty Officer in Sciences blue. She offered polite nods to her superior officers as she went silently on her way, leaving them an empty lift. This time, Imril was the one to wave Vitor through the doorway, following in after.
Imril: Deck Five, Elysium.
Silveira: response
