== Holodeck - Deck 14 ==
Today was one of those days when Aeryn felt restless, and her usual wind-down ritual before bed had failed her. So, Aeryn being Aeryn, had decided that she needed to tire herself out the old-fashioned way, by visiting the holodeck and hoping that one of her hiking programmes would do the trick. There had been a lot on the recently promoted Commander's mind of late, so it was no wonder she was experiencing the odd night where sleep eluded her. Of course, there was no guarantee that this foray into the world of fake realism would even work, but she was always game to at least try.
Then again, there was nothing like a trip back home to hopefully help the redhead find the tranquillity she needed, even if her surroundings weren't the physical highlands of Scotland. It was close enough and Aeryn had dressed appropriately for a late afternoon hike in The Ring of Steall. Okay, she might have adjusted the temperature settings slightly, allowing her to wear hiking shorts, boots, a tank top, and a plaid shirt left open, but it wouldn't deter her from appreciating the view or prevent her from enjoying the hike.
Aeryn also hadn't forgotten a backpack, water bottle, or anything else she might need for her little adventure, and once the computer had acknowledged that the programme was ready, she stepped inside and stood there for a few minutes, taking it all in.
