Zef had been waiting a week to get time on the holodeck. She’d gotten a block of two hours to do anything she wanted and had been thinking about it for days leading up to the time slot. She hadn’t made a decision on the activity until her meeting with Lt Wyatt a few days before. When they’d met, she’d found him attractive and interesting, and while reading his records, found out that he was one of a very few who enjoyed a pastime she also spent time on. Scuba diving.

Entering the holodeck, the yellow and black grid greeted her. =/\=Computer, run Rollo 26A. The room changed immediately to a sunny day on a beach. The sand was white and the water a crystal blue. There were two sets of tanks, flippers and masks near the water line and she walked to them while taking off her robe. Stark white hair was pulled back in a french braid that hung down to her waist and a pastel aqua colored one piece bathing suit clung to the pale curves of her body.

As she dropped the robe in the sand, Zef looked back in the direction of where the entry doors were hidden by plant life, wondering if Wyatt would be joining her for a swim.
