Chan stepped on to the holodeck she was hoping for a good place to relax and unwind. It felt that she hadn’t had much of a chance to do that the past few weeks. So much had happened so quickly. She had received bad news, then changed departments, then got promoted and now she was trying to fix the mess that was the robotics department. She was glad to finaly have a break.

Chan had picked her favorite program, she hadn’t fired it up in a while but she knew it was just what she needed.

As soon as Chan entered the holodeck she was greeted by the scene of a softly lit french bistro.The walls lined with tables and chairs. A stage at the front and a bar at the back. the bar was made of french mahogany and the chairs where all metal with leather cushions. the carpet where a rich red in color and soft and almost bouncy. Steps lead down to a large seating are full of conversing characters and attentive listeners to the music being played. All the characters where dressed in 1940s army, air force and navy uniforms from all the allied countries. As well a few civilian characters dotted about. Chan looked own at herself and found she was wearing the uniform of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) the female arm of the royal air force. She smiled she was glad she had added the randomize uniform element. it meant whoever walked in would wear a random uniform form one of the three arms of the allied armies.

As she steeped further into the bistro the charters sprung to life. The room was filled with chatter and soft piano music coming form the stage. Light puffs of smoke where coming from lit cigarettes and candles on the tables, of course it was simulated so it was absolutely harmless. Chan knew a far few people would not agree with the inclusion of smoking but she felt it added to the aesthetic of the whole program On the stage stood a beautiful women in a long white gown. Her hairs was blonde and her eyes where a stark blue. she sang that old black magic.

Chan walked to the bar and smiled at the young mam behind the bar “New in town are you?” he asked

“Just got in this morning” Chan replied happily. “I’ll have a glass of wine. please” She added

“Sure thing I’ll give you the house special.” the barman said as she pured a glass.

Chan took the drink and gave it a sip “A 1926 Château Margaux if I’m not mistaken” she said simply.

“You must have an exceptional palate.” He said surprise clear in his voice.

Chan shook her head “No I’m just good when it comes to wine. I’ll have a bottle if you please. I’ll be at that table ” she added pointing to table near the front. she then got up and took a seat. She loved 1940s music. it always made her happy. It was surprising that even though the humans where in the middle of a war, the songs they sang seemed to be joyful and hopeful.
