Vanessa stood in the holodeck waiting for MacGregor to show it. It was not that he was let. More that she was early by about fifteen minutes. It took a while for her COs to understand that the use of the holodeck was not a trick but an actual therapy technique that worked with vastly better results than a couch. Captain Marius was probably suspect at first like most of the others but so far he had not told her to stop which to Slade was unconditional acceptance and approval to continue. For the first time however in a long time, Vanessa was wishing she had gotten a big fat no from the old man.

The space was already programmed from a file Thomas had forwarded to her to upload. She knew what to expect but like most things in life expectation and reality seemed to clash. The landscape was beautiful and Vanessa chose to focus on that while she waited for Tom to arrive.

OCC: I hope it is okay I started a new thread. Your line in the last post made me smile. I also set up the post but kept out specific details so you can add in where we are in case you had a specific idea. ~ Kate
