Mission:
S1E1: Out of the Barn
Location: Holodeck
Timeline: Day 4 at 1830
Bryanna walked onto the holodeck. She had some down time after the shift, and had decided to get in some shooting practice, to relax herself. She walked over to the wall panel, and set the program to start. As she walked away, a new scene materialized. as she walked on, a table full of 20th century weapons appeared before her, full of assault rifles, pistols, anything you could want was there. The program was also set to change her attire, now kitting her out in a 20th century army uniform, along with tactical vest and holsters for weapons and ammo. She selected from the table an M4 rifle, and a Glock 19 pistol. The pistol she holstered in its place on her thigh, while slinging the rifle across her back.
Tahlin entered the holodeck--she'd seen the doctor heading this direction, and wanted to ask her about the plant she'd given her. The Bajoran was a bit surprised to see the medical officer wielding something that looked like... Was that an ancient Terran rifle?
"Goodness, I haven't seen something like this since an exhibit on early Bajoran resistance weapons... You find this helps?"
Bryanna was slightly surprised at seeing someone else in here with her. “Lieutenant! Sorry you made me jump.” She said, slightly shocked. “And I find this relaxes me a lot, something about the scenario, and the sound these old weapons make, the clicks and the slaps, can be very therapeutic to the right person.” She said, smiling. “Have you ever used one of these weapons?” She asked, gesturing towards the table.
"A little--I'm a little sensitive to the bangs, so I usually have a silencer algorithm running. Certainly not live. I did look at a TR116 rifle once, but... Its not really my style."
Bryanna nodded. "Well, you're more than welcome to join me if you'd like to." She replied, smiling.
"Oh, why not..." Tahlin picked up one of the guns, then called out, "Computer, add silencing algorithm to all weapons."
"Algorithm added."
"Thank you... Well," she said, turning back to Voight, "Your program, apart from the silencer thing, so, lead on."
Bryanna smiled, leading the way forwards. "So, this is just like your Security programs, just old school. Paper targets that pop out, the aim is to get through the course as fast as you can." She said, continuing towards the entrance. "You wanna go first, or second?" She asked.
"Why don't you go... I'll let the professional show her stuff." Tahlin grinned at the doctor.
Bryanna laughed. "Hardly a professional!" She called back, heading to the entrance in the wall. She made headway into the first room, clearing it from left to right. BANG! One target down. BANG. And a second. She continued through the first part of the area, clearing the targets as she ran, before coming to a flight of stairs. switching to her side arm, and drawing a knife from her belt, she bounded up the stairs two at a time. Knifing the target that popped out at the top of the stairs, she scanned the area, picking out another three targets, which she dropped in quick succession with precise shots from her pistol.
Jumping down from the top of the building, she continued to take shots at the targets, dropping them all, before reaching the end of the course, and sprinting for the exit. She came round the corner, and slowed to a jog, holstering her pistol and stopping next to Tahlin. "Not bad, one minute, fifteen seconds. Your turn!" She said, smiling.
Tahlin took up a relaxed stance, bent her knees, then started running. A target jumped out at her, and she fired, a precise shot that took it down. Coming to a set of stairs, she caught two targets and ran up, then down, then up again...
About a minute later, she came to rest by Voight's side. "Goodness, haven't run like that in a while... At least, not with targets after me... Did you program them to move like that?"
Bryanna nodded. "Yeah, wanted a big of an extra challenge, and that was the best way to do it, so I worked out a way to make it so they adapt to your play style." She answered, smiling.
"Hmmm... Mind if I borrow this? I've got a few people I think could benefit from this kind of thing."
"No problem at all, I'll send the program to your terminal." She said, nodding.
"Thank you very much." Tahlin paused, then continued, "Also, I wanted to ask you about that plant? That's why I came in here initially."
"Ah, yes." She answered, starting to strip off the gear the program had put onto her, until she was back in the exercise clothes she'd walked in in. "So the plant appears to be a close relative to earths Poison Ivy. Most people have a reaction to it, but the severity varies from person to person. Anti-Allergy meds will help if you ever encounter it again." She said, with a smile.
"I appreciate it--hopefully, I won't have a repeat encounter."
Bryanna nodded. "Of course if you have any concerns, just come and find me." Bryanna smiled, before heading to the door and leaving the holodeck, heading back to her quarters.
Tahlin watched the doctor go, then decided to run the course again. It would be good for her to get the practice in, even if the weapon was a bit unusual.
