==Copy that. I guess my confusion was to how much latitude the players have in these scenarios, and the tagging isn't like tagging a photo but like tagging in a teammate.==
Cadet Deters let out a strange combination of a sigh and nervous laughter as he composed himself. He muttered,
"Pitter patter, let's get at her," and meandered into Holodeck #4 with all the false confidence he could muster.
As he stepped into the Holodeck, the grey walls gave way to a small colony surrounded by trees that looked unlike any species he'd ever seen before. The sunset, if you could call it that on planets whose star is not the sun, produced vivid colors he'd only seen when he partook of certain substances in his younger and more reckless years, ironically while watching his favorite sci-fi show from his childhood, which was set on the Serenity. There's no way this scenario for his exams would have been based on that now after all this time, would it? Clearly this is a silly coincidence. No one had gotten any of his cultural references since he'd defrosted. Science fiction had simply become fiction. Being a leaf on the wind meant nothing to anyone anymore.
I don't know if I'll ever get fully used to this. I was blown away by VR headsets when they came out, Holodecks make those seem like, well, I would say a toy for children, but that's pretty much what they were used for anyways. Children of all ages. And I, the oldest child in history, find myself in a holodeck. Now take this seriously, Brycen. This is no time for horsin' around.
As he pulled out his tricorder to scan the surrounding air for biohazards, he turned to the Officer next to him.
"Ni Howdy, ma'am. Looks like there's a quarantine zone set up over yonder, let's see what we can do to assist once I determine there are no airborne pathogens to deal with."
Get it together dude, you're gonna break the computer forcing it to figure out what your 21st century Manglish slang means right off the bat? Think before you speak for once in your life. But then again, these UTs are pretty great for the most part. I don't even if know someone I'm talking to is speaking in another language most of the time. For all I know, everyone speaks English. Or no one speaks English, but everyone speaks Mandarin. Or maybe it's both, and everyone greets each other with Ni Howdy without trying to be punny, and they don't get why it's clever at all. That is how language evolves, right? What was I doing again? Test! Scanner! Focus!
His train of thought ran its course and was forgotten all in just a few tenths of a second.
== GM input, scan results, thanks. And I'm giving you a digital fist bump regardless. It's too late. You are already appreciated, but I will keep these business oriented in the future. ==
