Mazi closed the holodeck arch and dropped her robe on the sand. The beach was pristine with rocks jutting from the water out past the tide line. Gentle waves lapped on the shore and in the distance, dunes rose into the horizon line. This was the place she went to when she wanted to forget. Forget she was on a ship a million light years from her father and his family. Forget she was Andorian and had folks constantly looking at her differently than they did their own kind. And forget she had ignored missives to make her yearly Counseling appointment. She’d do it tomorrow while on shift, instead.

Walking down to the water line, she let her feet settle on the wet sand and sighed in total release as the water lapped over her feet and the warmth of the sea warmed her to the core.

Within minutes, she was swimming laps back and forth along the shoreline. Her blue bathing suit set off her skin beautifully and she closed her eyes as her arms stroked in powerful motion against the waves moving in to raise the tide line in the simulated alcove. High above, though unseen, she listened to the cry of seagulls. She loved the sound but the sight of them had been constantly distracting. So she had opted for their sounds but not the manifestation of the birds, themselves. It was comforting. She let her mind wander to various happenings on the ship. From tedious mechanical issues in the engineering bay, to how she was going to get Weir to recognize her as more than a peer. She liked him. Maybe, someday, she could get him to know that. Her mind continued to wander as she kept swimming.

The holoprogram was open, though she knew no one would ever come in. In all the places she had been stationed at or vacationed at, no one had ever joined the light blue skinned engineer in her programs. Now she left it open out of habit, not out of anticipation of company.

Denooy had checked and double checked, Allendor had not shown up for her sesson and it had been rescheduled more than once. So after she made final notes on the file, Denooy asked the computer for Allendor’s location hearing that the hybrid engineer was on one of the holodecks and the program wasn’t locked she looked over the program’s theme and headed out of her office. Denooy stopped at her quarters and got a hat, that would cover her head but had holes to allow her antenni to move freely. She then headed for Allendor’s holodeck and walked through the archway.

The scene was very pretty, the sand and waves the sounds of sea gulls had her look up at the sky searching for the birds themselves but she figured out soon enough that it was only their calls she was hearing no birds in the skys to dive bomb her. Good. She walked along the beach watching the water until she spotted Allendor swimming. She knew better than to call out out right startling folks that were swimming was not nice. Denooy stood still and waited for a proper moment to speak up.
