On the Asimov Rabid Pelican, the only holographic space needed to be booked through Operations, so Shara had left Dacascos to arrange the booking. But Calloway herself arrived just early enough to pick the program and make her own preparations for a kind of training that usually did not happen on a Starfleet vessel, nor in the manner that she was having to cobble together. This, if nothing else, would be a crash course on what undercover Intelligence agents painstakingly learned over the course of weeks and months and then put into practice. She had all of one evening.

She had had worse odds in her life.

The setting was a pub. The kind of slightly seedy but neighbourhood stalwart that could be found the galaxy over. Various species mingled, played pool, cards and other games. People drank and joked, and tiny fights broke out only to be resolved and ended in laughter, all with music playing in the background.

Shara was no where obvious to be found amongst the dozens of people in the pub though there were a few women about her size that could be spotted. None with her hair, though Shara’s plain brown hair did tend to fade into the background.

Laila entered the Holosuite and immediately wondered if she would make it out of the excercise okay. She had never been to a more decrepit and grimy place in her life. Not what she had in mind when she asked for combat training. Her hope was that they would do some taekwondo exercises on a nice tropical beach or with a nice Asian backdrop.
A sudden fight broke out between a Nausicaan and a Caitian. The fight lasted for a few minutes and ended with the Nausicaan, beaten, collapsing right at her feet. The victorious Caitian beared his teeth and roared at Laila. Not having very good fighting instincts, her flight instincts kicked in and she quickly turned around to head for the exit…except there wasn’t one. It had disappeared.
“Computer pause simulation!” Laila yelled frantically as she nervously clasped her hands to her chest and looked back to ensure the bat patrons were keeping their dstance. They were…for now. The computer responded, however the response was not one she wanted to hear, Eulailia Dacascos, you are not authorized to end this simulation.
Laila’s eyes grew wide, “What? Why? Computer I said stop!” She quickly tried to remember the emergency shutdown code as beads of sweat began forming on her forehead.” Um… Computer commence emergency shutdown. Code, Dacascos Beta Seven One One Nine.”
Invalid code. replied the computer.
“Computer stop!” She demanded as she hurriedly searched and patted the walls of the pub for the emergency console. Of course she couldnt find it. Again the computer calmly said, You are not authorized to end this simulation.
Some of the beings in the pub begin to mimick and mock her while they laughed. Computer Stop, Beta One One… Then one of them said, “Whose scrawny human is this? She will go nice with a side of Rigelion-Chelon Soup.
Eulailia gasped then darted through the crowd as she screamed Shara where are youuu!”

Fast movement beside Dacascos was followed by the being harassing the operations officer going down hard. A woman with vibrant red curly hair and bright green eyes watched the person she had just taken down. The others seemed to snort and move back to whatever they were doing. The woman did not look like Shara at all and as she flicked her gaze to Eulaila, she seemed rather unimpressed. She just shook her head and wandered over to the bar.

As the red-haired woman tackled Eulailias’s assailant, the being had managed to grab hold of her leg, tripping and causing her to plunge to the floor with him. There was little time to put her hands out to break the fall. Therefore she fell face down and felt the full impact. All the breath she had immediately left her body as she connected with the ground. She lay there motionless at first, face down. Then after a few moments, she grimaced as she rolled over on her back. Having experienced very little pain in her whole entire life, the fall felt like she’d been slammed into a brick wall and her first inclination was to let out a long pitiful wail. However, instead of wailing, she closed her eyes and focused her energy on sitting up. As she did the being that had been taken to the ground by the woman jumped up and took off. Everyone shrank back cautiously eyeing the curly red-haired woman walking to the bar and backing away from Eulailia as she placed her hand on her stomach and eased to her feet, “I think…I think one of my ribs....” she winced as she rubbed her left side “might be broken.” Her voice was pitiful and feeble as she exaggerated her injury. “Do you know my friend Shara? I was supposed to meet her here.” She asked as she wiped a tear away that was trickling down her cheek, then she sniffed as looked around the bar for Shara and at all the faces staring at her.

Dacascos, COO

The redhead eyed Laila up and down and shook her head. “You’ll live,” she said dryly. “And no one here by that name. Then again people don’t go around sharing names, so when people come around asking for them it looks a little suspicious,” she said, eyes narrowed. She turned her attention to the bar and knocked on the bar top twice. The barkeep slid a glass over with a dark amber liquid and the redhead knocked it back in one go.
