The doors to the Holodeck hissed open, and Harry bounded through the door. As it was the evening, he was dressed in civilian attire. However, if anything, it looked smarter than his uniform, with a collared shirt and gillet.

=^= Computer, run a simulation of the engineering room on the USS McKoy. =^= he instructed. A few seconds later the black and yellow grid dissolved into a standard Starfleet engineering room. He walked up to one of the consoles and started to enter commands, reading off of a PaDD. After a few minutes, he looked up, and checked the status of the various ship systems.

=^= Computer, save current configuration of the USS McKoy under programme Harry Mike Alpha One, and rest the simulation to baseline. =^= he stated. For a moment the room slightly wobbled as the computer reset the holo programme.

=^= Configuration saved. Programmme reset. =^= stated the computer.

Lisa mulled over Harry’s words as she dressed in her civlian clothing. She wore a t shirt and brown leather jacket, jeans and a pair of knee-high boots . She had been off duty and working away on some schematics. There was a small table in the middle of the room stacked with Padds, there was a half empty bottle of whiskey. She tied her greasy hair back, downed half a glass of whiskey and headed towards the holodeck. It took her the usual three attempts to arrive at the holodeck. She noted that the holodeck was already in use, she frowned slightly and entered wandering what programme was running. What she didn’t expect to see was a near replica of the McKoy’s Engineering room. She was struck dumb as she took in her surroundings, she hadn’t been back there since the incident. She breathed hard trying to control it as she saw Harry. She walked over trying to put her surroundings out of her mind.
“Hey Chief, is… everything okay?” She asked.

Harry looked up from the console he was working on. “Evening Lisa,” he started. “Sorry for the evening call, and for springing this upon you…” he paused, noting that she was obviously uncomfortable in the environment.

“I won’t keep you here any longer than I need to, but I need to prove my hypothesis; that, if the McKoy’s test systems were correctly configured, your trials would have been isolated to those systems.”

He knew this could be a lot to take in, so gave Lisa some time to process what he had said.

Lisa looked confused and frowned.
“I.....I…wha..... Chief?” Was all she could manage barely comprehending what he was saying. Her breathing increased slightly as she tried to focus and not let herself go back to relive the moment again. It looked so real, seemed so real. She knew it was a hologram Focus Lisa, focus. She shut her eyes and clenched her fists and took a deep breath. At last she nodded.
“Okay Chief, what have you found?” She asked.

“I need to verify a couple of my assumptions first.” Harry started. “Can you run through the exact sequence of tests as you ran them on the McKoy. The simulation is configured for how the McKoy should have been set up, so I am expecting the safety protocols to kick in.”
