Lindas meet up

The message was brief: Meet me at the following coordinates... and the computer gave me a rough idea where to go. As the crew were focused on getting systems back online, I navigated the ship out of the enemy ship range, in case their weapons were still functional. While I was piloting, I quickly thought up a plausible excuse to leave. I turned to the captain.

"Sir? Permission to be relieved?"

"Is there a problem, ensign?"

"I... well, should probably be in uniform now..." I replied, looking at myself sheepishly.

The captain nodded, seeing as things have calmed down for the moment. Among the damage suffered from the surprise attack was all our clothes being sucked up into space. Lance appeared suddenly uncomfortable with her own nudity now, as she replied, "Bring up a change of clothes for everyone."

"Aye sir!" I said and marched out the bridge. I was on the turbo-lift when I realized that I was basically streaking through the ship now. I was about to get the look that Akira gave us all earlier, only I would be singled out this time. I sighed and accepted my fate as the doors opened.

No one was around. Maybe the program only generated necessary crew. I quick stepped my way to the designated meet spot with boldness. I wanted to get to Linda and have her shut me off so I could end this embarrassment as soon as possible. I can explain things later, at a more convenient time. I resolved myself to this conclusion as the ship shook suddenly. The enemy ships must have come back online. I wanted off this ship even faster now! The red alert signal went on again and the hissing of doors opening could be heard. I darted into an empty room and hid as crewmates rushed back into their battle positions. I still needed to meet with Linda, so I looked around the room, finding a towel in a dresser and put it on. I poked my head out and saw myself in the hallway. I gave myself a tug and pulled her into the room.

"You! Me! Uh... Holo-me!" she cried.

"Thank goodness you're here! I have been having a heck of a day!" I replied.

"What have you been up to?!" Linda's eyes went straight to the towel.

"Well there was an art studio, then aerobics, then a life and **** battle... That got pretty messy..."

She grabbed me with both hands, "Right now! Has the commander and lieutenant seen you?!"

"I told them I was going to change," I said, "They'll start to wonder what's taking me so long..."

"Why are you in just a towel now?"

"Well it's certainly a lot more than you left me with," I said, defensively, "It was all I could grab after my encounter with Tiloth."

"Who?"

"The Andorian?" I gave her a disappointed stare. Well, real world Tiloth was hers to deal with, not me.

"Oh! Ohhhhhh..." She finally responded as a realization hit upon her.

"Hey! Now that you're here, you can shut me off and take my place!" I was eager to end this program. It had been a hectic day and I was ready to end it.

"Yeah.., that's sort of why I snuck in..." She gave me a worried look, before asking, "What are they doing anyways?"

Holo-me rolled her eyes, "Battle drills."
