Posted by Lieutenant Junior Grade Hayley Marshall (Chief Medical Officer) in Side Sim - Holodeck - Some time for Hayley’s softer side… Everyone feel free to stumble in and surprise her ;)

The door to the holodeck opened. Charra stumbled in. Landing on the soft grass did enough to prevent the swearing she almost started. Instead, she looked around her self in awe, managing to do nothing more than stammer at the beauty surrounding her.

Hayley startled at the sound of the doors opening and closing. She quickly turned toward the sound and was surprised to see the Ensign just standing there staring about herself at the scenery. She wasn’t even sure if Charra had seen her yet. Feeling a little self conscious she walked toward her. “Hello Ensign, welcome to my fairyland.” She smiled, not really upset at being disturbed, more just feeling self-conscious as she rarely let people see this side of her.

Charra jumped and turned. Trying not to stammer she took a deep breath. “Lt., hi. This is… beautiful..I’m sorry for bothering you.. “ she found herself having a harder time not stammering, so she simply closed her mouth. Still awe struck by it, she slowly began turning around to see more, not even realizing the circles she was turning, until she found her self so dizzy she had to stop. “Wow.”

“My brother has a gift for creating beauty, regardless of whether he is using a computer or a sewing machine. This program is his work, for that matter, so is my outfit. It’s his way of making sure his little sister relaxes and remembers to take some time for herself once in awhile. It makes me feel like I am wandering through a story book.” She paused and smiled. “You are welcome to make use of it. I added it to the Holodeck memory. It’s called JMFairyland12.” If Charra chose to look toward the herd of horses she would quickly realize they were actually unicorns. As they were standing there a couple of baby foxes ran passed, seemingly playing tag with each other.

Charra still looked a little awe struck and her face fell a little bit. “That’s so nice.. and thank you…” her face fell as she thought some. “Did your brother follow his dreams?”

Hayley grinned, “He sure did, and still does. He is back on Earth; he and his partner are in charge of Marshall Textiles and Bespoke Tailoring.” She paused for a moment. “I’m the first of my family to leave Earth actually, but they have supported me all the way. What about you? Is Starfleet your dream?”

Charra smiled widely, and nods. “Yes, very much so, I’m glad he did.. I am not the first, my father was in when my brothers and I were younger. I still have no understanding why he stopped… But my eldest brother and I dreamed of Starfleet, science and medically respectfully. He…he ‘put his starfleet dream on the back burner’ after dad stopped, and instead found a factory job to help the family…I don’t know if he ever will follow his dream… I didn’t want to do that, so I ran away..To the academy no less.. of course I was found and sent with my family, but they were surprisingly supportive of me and put me in the academy.. Now, Jeno does more to look after the rest of the family, dad is… he used to be so happy, but that stopped when his Starfleet did. Now more often he just seems angry. My other brother seems to float around jobs and my little sister seems to be taking an interest in mechanics. It’s.. it makes me a little sad some of it, but I hope my sister follows her dreams, whatever they are....”
