After finally digging out of her mountain of paperwork, Freja decided she needed a good working over in the holodeck. She usually practiced yoga and pilates in her own quarters and occasionally pulling a few sequences in her ready room, but it was time for good cardio.

“Computer, load program Andreassen-Alpha-1,” She ordered.

“Program loaded, enter when ready,” came the steady reply from the computer.

Stepping through the doors, she could almost pretend she was back on her grandparents’ horse ranch in Oklahoma. As the program was designed, the tall chestnut gelding with a star on his forehead was tied up next to the fence with some tack nearby. Freja always preferred to saddle her own horse, it was how she connected to the animal, even though this was in fact a hologram.

“Alright Windy, let’s get you saddled and then do some shooting,” she smirked, examining the tack for the horse and the bow and quiver of arrows for her. Most people would be satisfied with just archery or horse riding, Freja was introduced to mounted archery as a teenager and hadn’t looked back since.
