He smiled. “Don’t be embarrassed. You moved like a dancer when you were in the gym, is all. For me? I listen to music, I like to cook a bit, and I have some holodeck programs I use to unwind… and a few I use to vent frustration. Sometimes the gym doesn’t cut it and you really need to let someone have it, you know?” and he winked at her.

“I hear you,” Viyara laughed softly. “When you’re in the holodeck: safeties on or off?” she asked almost off-hand if it wasn’t for the gleam of mischievousness in her eyes. She then popped another ravioli into her mouth and waited curiously for his reply.

Hammor regarded her for a moment and then said “On, but low. After all, turning off the safeties completely is a pretty serious violation… which you and I both know we would never do… right?” and he gave her a small grin.

Hammor

“Of course,” Viyara nodded. And it wasn’t even a lie. Not really anyway. For she knew that it was a violation of regulations. She just did it anyway. She sometimes needed the rush of adrenaline and the sense of danger, sometimes even the feeling of pain to feel fully alive. And with the safeties on she just didn’t have that. And where was the point it in then? Tilting her head slightly to the side, she added, “I’ve never really understood that, though. There are no safeties in real life either. So where is the problem in turning them off on the holodeck?”

~Ensign Nazeen, Scientist

“Because the holodeck isn’t real life, and the people assigned to a ship are needed on that ship. Real headache for personnel to have to keep shuffling people around because some moron thought it’d be fun to turn off the safeties and try to single-handedly defeat the Jem’Hadar assault on Fris VIII.”

Hammor

“When you put it that way, I guess I can see why that regulation is in place,” Viyara admitted, looking slightly uncomfortable even though she tried to hide it. And really, what she was doing was completely different. She’d never be stupid enough to do something like that. That would be a suicide mission and she didn’t want to die. She wanted to feel fully alive after all.

Hammor chuckled. “I’m not saying that all regulations are worthwhile, but there are few I pay attention to.” About that time, Mario returned and set a dish down in between them with two forks. “Tiramasu.” and he smiled broadly. “On the house for the best looking couple in the place.” and he winked and walked away.

“Oh!” Viyara beamed, not minding at all that Mario thought that they were a couple.

Hammor smiled and said “Well, if it gets us free dessert… shall we, my dear?”

Hammor

“You rarely have to ask me twice with most desserts, darling,” Viyara grinned. “Unless it’s very sweet, but Tiramisu is perfect. At least the few times I had it in the past.” Picking up one of the forks, she speared it into a corner of the dessert, making sure to get a bit of each layer onto it. As she popped it into her mouth, she closed her eyes and sighed. “As expected, this is absolutely perfect.”

“Thanks, I try to keep myself in shape.” Hammor said and then smiled. “Oh… you meant the dessert.” and he took a bite. Nodding, he said “I concur. Amazing.”

Hammor

After helping herself to another forkful of Tiramisu, Viyara asked, “What is your all time favourite dessert? The one thing you can either always have or is your go to when you have a bad day?”
