OOC: If anyone is interested in joining, feel free to arrive with Avik or hop in at any time.

IC: Hello ____

You’ve been invited to take part to test out an original holodeck adventure program. It will start at 13:00 tomorrow, but participates can enter the deck at any time they are free. It is a fantasy world loosely based on the poem The Odyssey and other similar 21st century fictional works. In order to improve it, I’ve sent out requests to a wide variety of individuals with the same message. I would greatly appreciate feedback if you accept this invitation. Please dress comfortably for the adventure.

Sincerely, Engineer NE Florez.

Avik studied the mysterious message. A few moments passed before she clicked a reply on her datapad. Her fingers moved in a fast and precise pace, the letters typed out an acceptance to the offer. Her schedule had been cleared for that time slot without anything filling in for it. It might benefit her to expand her extracurricular activities in the long run.

Once finished, she departed for the holodeck the next day. Dressed in her more civilian clothing than her uniform, she appeared to be the first to arrive.

–XO, Avik, Lt. Cmdr

Ashlyn had been suspicious of the message for a while, but with her friend’s recent endeavors to argue her scientific standing, she found herself with more time than expected. Remembering the advice of several counselors to go be social with people, Trenton accepted the invitation and prepared to go. Sure it wasn’t parkour or her favored cyberpunk genre, but it would give her a chance to interact with other members of the crew and get a little out of her cloistered shell. The most confusing point on the message was the subject matter. Ashlyn had some understanding of classing literature and was pretty sure ‘The Odyssey’ was an 8th century BC poem by Homer, she didn’t really know of any outside of that so this should be interesting to say the least.

Ashlyn arrived dressed in her usual off duty attire, the odd combination of a lycra underlayer with some more casual cotton clothing that fit loosely to allow for movement and plenty of EL tape to add lighted accents in a dark purple today. On her feet a pair of shoes meant to emulate being barefoot with added traction, this would allow her the fullest extent of her acrobatics if needed. While not as early as the Commander, she wasn’t far behind decidedly being her usual punctual self. When she saw the Vulcan there was a pause as she processed information internally for a moment, then broke into a wide grin. Either she was safe to have her own imaginings or she would soon regret not caging her thoughts around yet another telepath. For the time being, she could be professional. “Good Afternoon Commander, it’s a pleasure to see you today.”

Greiss’s lanky form was instantly recognizable as he sauntered through the holodeck entrance. He wore a loose-fitting brown jacket, Yridian leather, with a distinctive pointed collar. Attached was his Combadge, askew by only the slightest millimeter of an angle. The rest of his outfit was his standard off duty uniform, and pocketed excursion pants.

He tilted his head down at Avik in a quick salute. “I assume you recieved an invitation as well? I’m quite intrigued as to what this could entail.”
