Down time was, oddly, one of Solal’s least favorite things. Generally, he preferred being busy. But he hadn’t enough to do lately, and that had resulted in a lot of this dreaded down time. He found himself quite bored for most of it. This particular day, he found himself headed for the holodeck. He wasn’t sure exactly what he planned to do, but he was sure he could find something useful to do.

The half-Vulcan headed through the doors to the Holodeck, forgetting to check if anyone else was already there.

As happenstance would have it the Holodeck was occupied and a program of a cozy library was running. Upon immediately entering one would first smell the scent of aged paper. The next thing that would catch attention was that the lighting was soft, the myriad of bookshelves in rows just past a checkout desk were bright enough to read titles when up close but not really bright enough to read the tomes themselves for any extended period. Towards the back of the library and just barely in sight from the entrance was a table with better lighting and stack of books upon it.

Well, that wasn’t quite what Solal expected. But he could definitely live with it. “Hello?” He said as he went in, heading for the stack of books. The dim lights didn’t make much sense to him. How was one supposed to read in here without giving themselves eyestrain and a massive headache? A mistake he’d made before, for sure. He hadn’t meant to intrude on someone else’s program, but, well, now he was just curious.

~ Lt. JG Solal, Doctor

There wasn’t a response back. After entering a bit and starting down the row of bookshelves towards the table with the books on it, a man would come into view who was currently focused on a book in front of him. Whatever it was about it seemed to hold his attention firmly.
