S1- M6 - Under a Killing Holodeck

[Ser Conley]

The sights of London were beautiful.  The ancient city had a wonder to few could dispute.  People crammed the streets.  Merchants yelled out trying catch the attention of a potential buyer.   Children stood on boxes recount headlines of the day.   Ser was having a good time already.

[Victorian England]

A well-dressed older gentleman came up to them " Ah, my good friends, I hope you've traveled well. We wanted to notify you earlier, but Doctor Drury has requested your presence at his manor this afternoon."

Ser rubbed his hand together in an excited motion, and addressed you group, in his best cockney accent.

"Alright, Since we have the time.  Who wants come to Piccadilly Circus?  I've always wanted to see it's goes on."  He said.

[K-5]

[Holodeck 1, London]

K-5 walked up behind the group of crew members and heard an unknown man invite them to a house. Judging by the man's accent, she'd need to update hers. She let the codes input themselves and her accent turned to an elegant cockney. She then heard another crew mate offering for a trip to a circus.

Ser rubbed his hand together in an excited motion, and addressed you group, in his best cockney accent.

"Alright, Since we have the time.  Who wants come to Piccadilly Circus?  I've always wanted to see it's goes on."  He said.

K-5, curious as to what a circus would intale raised her hand and politely said, "I would love to join you, good sir." Her databanks made changes to her speech patterns to help her fit in with the times.

[James A. Hawke]

[Holodeck 1]

James entered the Holodeck placing both of his hands in inside his trench coat.  For whatever  reason his outfit appeared to be a little more modern than the era required.   He entered the Holodeck and noticed an authenthic feel of Victorian era, London.

The purpose of this exercise was to do to the opposite that he is used to.  Next to him was Ada who was wearing her yellow and black dress.  James wondered if her selection was done on purpose. As will spoke, James looked down for a second.

"I do say, it is a lovely time of year" he said as he produced a pipe from his jacket and lit it "The Hood was lucky to receive this treatment and not sent out on a blasted patrol again. Who sends a bloody battleship out on patrol anyway?" Will took a puff from the pipe "Is that too much? Should I tone down my speech impersonation?"

Before he could even respond Ada informed Will.  "Comma..." She stood silent as she corrected herself.

"Mr. Waring, the Holodeck is already program for that the computer might believe you are british if you wish it so.  There is no need for such attempts, although I do commend you for your attempt to get into the exercise"  Ada responded with her perfect English accent.

James stoof silent as he observed a Man approaching them.

" Ah, my good friends, I hope you've traveled well. We wanted to notify you earlier, but Doctor Drury has requested your presence at his manor this afternoon."

Usually, James would be the first person to respond, but he bit his tonge.  The point of the exercise was also for him to see the crew interact and how they treated him not has Captain Hawke but James.  He noticed Tam take the lead and accept the invitation they had a choice to take the carriage and walk.

James did not know the details of the exercises and it appeared some of the crew wanted to have fun and do some exploring.

"Alright, Since we have the time.  Who wants come to Piccadilly Circus?  I've always wanted to see it's goes on."  He said.

Ada smiled at Ser and responded "Yes, I want to come...if that's alright with you Sir?"

James nooded and said "I'm no longer a Sir, I'm Just James"

Ada then walked next to Ser and said "Alright"

James stood silent for a second and wondered who was this doctor and what was going on.  As much as he was interested in leasurly activities, he also needed to explore.

He looked down at the Street and responded to the man "I'll walk"

A getlement looked at him with some interested and asked "Your clothes, your accent,  you aren't from around here"

James then responded "Nope, I'm a Yank"

The gentlemen then responded "Ahh that explain your unvicilized behavior and style".

James nooded to the man for a second and kindly said "Excuse me"

With no explanation he began walking in the middle of the streers of London.  Instead of shooping he approached the nearest newsstand where he picked up the newspaper, he wanted to know more about what going on.  Instead of commanding he thought it would be interesting to see how each person reacted and they did on their spare times.

As he picked the newspaper he began to read it.

[Kirok]

[Holodeck costume room]

After showering, EQ made his way to Holodeck suites.  He, of course, was one of the last to arrive as was evident by the remaining selection of clothing.  If fact the only item that remained in his size was a butler's uniform.

The Liberated BORG looked the costume up and down.  It wasn't exactly what he preferred especially given the mechanical device over his face.  But at least the custom would give him a specific role to play.  So without further hesitation, EQ changed into the costume.

[Kirok]

[Admiral's Quarters]

As Kirok was into his fourth piece of salmon sushi, the lights flickered just slightly.  It was just enough to get his attention and cause him to naturally look up.  But not long enough for him as the computer for an update of any sort.

So, the half Vulcan put down his chop sticks and reached for his cup of tea.  It was still warm and fragrant.  His door chime stopped him, however, from obtaining the desired drink.

Kirok's left eyebrow arched slightly.  Most of the crew were likely participating in the group activity, so he doubted that it would be any of them at the door.  And sadly his telepathy was not much help at the moment.

This lead him to believe that it may be Ada at the door.  He groaned slightly, but dabbed a napkin to his lips.  Then he dropped the napkin and rolled to the door.

The view screen showed a man whom Kirok did not know.  Perhaps it was a new crewman who just came aboard, he guessed.  Odd thought that the man was not in a uniform of any type.

"Enter" Kirok called out.  He pressed the button to allow the door to open.  When it did, it revealed a man dressed in black known as Agent Ferguson:

[Ardyn Jaeger]

[Outside holodeck 1]
[As Steve]

Steve whimpered as the away team left. The fuzzy little raptor didn't like being left alone, especially without his mommy. The hallway was empty now, and there was no one who could give him any petting. Curling up in front of the door sadly, he waited. He didn't wait long when the Borg, EQ, walked in. Steve scampered around EQ's legs, but was ignored again. After the Borg walked into the holodeck, Steve waited a second , then dashed inside at the last moment before the doors closed.

[As Ardyn]

"Why not explore a bit?" Ardyn said as she joined James. "Whatcha reading?" She asked as she peeked over James's shoulder at the newspaper. However, before she found out what was on the newspaper, she felt a familiar nuzzle on her ankles. Looking down, she saw Steve, purring up against her skirts. "STEVE?! What are you doing little guy? You're not supposed to be here, you rascal!" Picking up the little raptor, she ruffled his feathers. " Hey Guys, Guess who decided to follow us?"

[Holodeck]

EQ emerged through the holodeck doors decked out in the Victorian era butler uniform.  While gloved, shoes, and shirt accented the costume.  The odd 'x' shaped tie was around his neck.

"Just your friendly Liberated BORG" EQ quipped before he saw Steve.  "Oh, you mean the raptor" he added with a chuckle.  He crouched down to eye level with pet and offered the back of his right hand.

As he watched Steve, he tilted his head slightly to Ardy.  "So if this is a murder mystery we already know who the first suspect is.  This guy" he said as he used his free hand to point his thumb back at himself. 

[Kirok]

[Admiral's Quarters]

Kirok looked at the young man for several seconds before he spoke.  Usually his telepathy helped the half Vulcan in such situations.  But the man who stood before him seemed to be immune to such tactics.

"May I help you?" Kirok asked.  He instinctively arched his back slightly.  If only to make himself appear taller or stronger or less vulnerable in the wheel chair.

Agent Ferguson raised his hands slightly to show that he meant the Admiral no harm.  "Actually, Sir.  I am here to help you.  If you will allow it" he said.

"My name is Agent Ferguson" he added as he lowed his hands.  "I am a member of the Temporal Integrity Commission.  I am here because one of our brothers violated our regulation for his own benefit.  The end result is was caused you to be in your wheel chair" he explained.

[James A. Hawke]

James opened the newspaper and noticed that it was filled with several articles.  There was a sport section that covered teams and scores of games that barely interested him. However, there was a small section that caught his eyes.   There was a small article about a murder that caught his attention.  However, he did not recognize any of the names and locations.  His reading was interrupted by Ardy

"Why not explore a bit?" Ardyn said as she joined James. "Whatcha reading?" She asked as she peeked over James's shoulder at the newspaper.

You're not supposed to be here, you rascal!" Picking up the little raptor, she ruffled his feathers. " Hey Guys, Guess who decided to follow us?"

James then picked up and the newspaper and began to fold it.  He noticed the small holographic velociraptor and James could not help but smile.  James began explaining "Like you guys, I know nothing about this program so I decided to grab the newspaper and begin working on it.  It might have a clue or something that can help us in the future"

James then smiled and said "Don't worry, I'm sure he can tag along, the program might need to make adjustments for the interaction"

James then offered his shoulder so she can grab he then asked "Am I supposed to walk to your right or left?  I'm not an expert in this historical era"

[K-5]

[Holodeck 1, Circus]

K-5 had been thinking about a name for herself while she walked to the circus. She'd chosen Katelyn Marie, mostly because the first name sounded like her own at first. Her crew-mates had already begun calling her Kay, so the name was easily to remember.

The circus was filled with wonders, none of which were modern, but all of which had their own charms. There were trick riders, clowns and elephants in a large ring, Jugglers and balancers on a tightrope above the ring, and more cotton candy than K-5 could believe. She watched the amazing acts and analysed each one, figuring out how each act was performed. She was enjoying the show, in her own special way.

[Victorian England]

Ardyn scoffed in an exaggerated  humorous gesture, "EQ, don't be silly, I doubt it'll be us. Anyhow, I still think it's a program that's trying to teach proper manners and diplomacy after the last fiasco." Peeking over at the newspaper again, this time with an amused raptor thumping his tail on her hip quite happily, she read the headline on one of the articles. "THREE  REPORTED MISSING, PRESUMED DEAD".
It didn't  really say much, except that there was thoughts that it might be linked to an autopsied body found in the woods.

Looking over to James, she gave him a wink as he extended his arm. Taking it, like in the movies she had watched with her father late into the night so long ago, she laughed. "My, James, you're quite the gentleman, if I do say so myself." Tying a ribbon around her curious raptor's neck as a sort of leash, she set him down. "Shall we?"

[William Waring]

[England]

Will had been taking in the sights of London. It was quite a scene to behold really. In only a few years time the world would've been plunged into the First World War, a conflict that his ancestors would be in. Perhaps a holographic model of them would be here. That would prove interesting.

"I don't think anyone has associated the term gentleman with James" Will said as he walked ahead, puffing his pipe. "So, what is our plan here Skip? Wander around and take it all in I'm assuming."

[Holo]

EQ smirked in reply.  Then turned his attention to the paper James held.  The headline was likely a clue of some type.

"After you, Ardy.  I mean, Madame" he said.  He stepped in line behind the couple.  He flipped his tux tale for effect.

[Kirok]

[Admiral's Quarters]

Kirok had studied the man while he listened to him.  Given that Ferguson as a Temporal Agent it made sense that the half Vulcan's telepathy was useless.  But he still had his natural observation skills to fall back on.

The man did not appear to have a weapon.  And his body language so far was non-threatening.  The lack of a uniform even helped to highlight that.

"Very well.  You have peeked my curiosity.  Please enter and tell me more" he said to Agent Ferguson.

[K-5]

[London]

K-5 spent as long as she could at the circus, learning about things, adding them to her databases, enjoying herself. When she checked her time, she nearly panicked. It was almost time for her to arrive at the... what was it? The... Drury House.

K-5 ran up to another woman close by her and asked for directions.

"You can't miss it!" The lady called after K-5 as she picked up her dress and ran, leftover cotton candy in hand, to the Drury House. She arrived, breathless, with her half a bag of cotton candy, five minutes late.
