((Holodeck 1, Columbia))
((Timestamp: 1 day
before Columbia arrives at Safe Harbour))
::Risha stood outside the holodeck, the hours of pouring over
what little information they had, it was all finally here. The rest of the
assigned team joined her and they entered.::
::Stepping through the door way she was taken back by the
sight of the Columbia, her sleek elegant design the shimmer of her hull against
the glow from the warp necelles. She also noticed the monstrosity at the other
side of the room, completely different in feel and looks compared to the
Columbia, it almost sent a shiver down her spine.::
Serinus: Welcome one and all. Who would like to start?
Una: ? Yeah I can start! Sure! This is all
beautiful! ::She answered quickly, just after a few minutes taken to look
around and understand.::
Kano: This is...::she looked around, still not believing
how detailed it was.::... you designed it? Amazing.
Colquhoun: ?
Duyzer:?

Serinus: You are correct, a demonstration is in order. My
mistake. ::He walked closer to his guests, and further from the ships.::
Serinus: Computer, reset scenario, bring up command station at
my location, ::A touch screen monitor appeared in front of the Security
Officer. Behind him, a high backed, cherrywood chair upholstered in black, in
which he promptly sat:: and theatre seating for my guests. :: Behind his
guests, a dozen red velvet seats, appropriate for a twentieth century movie
theatre faded into existence.:: Engage tutorial mode. ::Between himself, and
the others a screen materialized. On the left side of the screen was what was
on his monitor. The right half of the screen showed the positions of his
hands.::
Serinus: ::typed away at the monitor, as the screen before the
others displayed where his hands went. On the left side, the push buttons
became grayed out while they were being pressed.:: I had to make more
modifications than I had originally expected. Switching off supply was easy,
morale had to be modified, shields added. Additionally, I had to combine great
chunks of the naval and aerial combat routines. ::break:: As you see, the top
of the user display gives a map of the area. In larger scale battles, unit
selection is important, but I have turned it off for this one on one space
battle. Instead, shuttles and the like can be commanded from this first menu
here.::
Una: It
looks really good to me! Well done! We can test the battle that we are waiting
for here.
Kano: So this can be used as a real time combat session? A
full on tactical approach? Is driving by person commands or can it be automated?
Colquhoun: ?
Duyzer:?
Any: ?
Serinus: Excellent questions. ::He continued to type:: I will
answer them all shortly.
Una: How you created a simulation so perfect
about our enemies, the Ya-Grhan?
We can simulate a battle with them here and we can be prepared for when they ll
come.
Kano: If that's right then. ::She walked around the ships
looking at them:: By each of us being the Ya-Grhan and the Columbia the
computer should be able to compute the best type of counter defense. Am I right?
Colquhoun: ?
Duyzer:?
Serinus: ?
Any: ?
Una: Shall we start the battle simulation? ::She asked exited.::
