PNPC LtsJG Ollos - putting the "retro" in retrofit

[Ollos]

(( Jeffries tubes, behind Holodeck 2, Deck 5 ))

Ollo: Are you sure it's in maintenance mode? 

Ollo sighed, having answered that question already.

Ollo: Yes, yes. I'm sure. That's the-

As he was pulling away an access panel, Ollo chimed in.

Ollo: -third time you've asked. It's fine.

The trio enjoyed a moment of silence, two working and another looking anxious, holding the tool kit. On the deck between them was a bag full of components and supplies. The nervous one spoke up again.

Ollo: You know, if this goes wrong...

Ollo: ::Recounting a list of outcomes they had previously discussed:: We could blow ourselves up, blow up part of Deck 5, create some kind of untold horrors, and so on. But we won't, ok?

Ollo: O-okay. ::Beat:: It's just--

In a huff, Ollo slammed the hyperspanner down on the deck and turned around to look at Ollo.

Ollo: It's just what? When we left the Constitution, we had a purpose. I'm growing tired of your doubts.

Ollo shrank away, his back against the far side of the Jeffries tube. Ollo strategically ignored the other two and continued on with the work.

Ollo: Isolinear pathways rerouted. This holodeck design is a low newer than the Constitution's, but I believe we're retrofit it to accept the Yoyodyne 2308.

Ollo peered over his shoulder, and saw the makeshift socket for the holodeck emitter-corporialization matrix-calibration parameter co-processor, ready to accept the Yoyodyne 2308. Behind them, Ollo chimed in.

Ollo: It's just... the emitter design is a bit different in this holodeck, it--

Ollo: We already checked that!

Ollo hissed at Ollo, and Ollo slunk back again.

Ollo: Sorry...
