“No name, brown eyes, long red hair, petite, passionate, thought of you with awe, knew Dawson and panicked when the other holodeck characters disappeared as if she wasn’t aware it was a hologram and was intensely curious about how a Caitian found their way to the place we were in,” Stark summed up succinctly flying back through his memory with an intent look on his face.

“That program was never meant for a non-El Aurian to seriously encounter. It was designed with the El Aurian people in mind, a place to call home that looked like home. That place is as real as my homeworld gets. So if these people are regulars, it would make sense for them to find you both out of place. Nearly every person in there, while they may look like a hologram, they are actually El Aurians all over the galaxy. If Dawson is indeed alive, it would make sense for him to have somehow found a way into the program. This red haired woman does not ring a bell. You said they appeared to know each other?”
Now Marishka remembered seeing the woman Stark had described. As she listened to their conversation Marishka found it surprisingly easy to put the spark of crazy between she and Orvos aside. She didn’t know exactly what the red head had gushed about but Orvos’ prowess as an engineer and quick wit might be considered worth gushing about and, perhaps, he wasn’t all together terrible to look at.
“Why did this Dawson say he may have unwittingly put ME in danger? I have heard people say such things before but the reasons are always different.” she explained.

“What made him say that?” he asked curiously. “What led to that point?”
He trusted Stark, and now he was left to somehow blindly trust Marishka. There was a part of her that he longed to let loose to, but he knew full well the effects of her pheromones on those around her. He naturally would let his guard down with her, allowing himself to become enamored, however upon realizing such times, he would immediately bristle. It made for quite a crazy time for him. However, right now…he had to hope that she would be of value and not distract him.

Stark paced as he concentrated willing his mind to bring back the details from his nearly eidetic sense memory. “I sensed a distinct lack of animosity from the man, strange considering your past…”

“Maybe he got over it…” Orvos breathed to himself.
Marishka had been trying to remember Dawson’s words instead of just the feeling of his lips on the back of her hand before he vanished.
“He regretted having met me in that fashion and said that he may have unwittingly put me in danger but hoped that that danger was just a figment of his imagination. Then he kissed my hand and left. He did say something about hoping to meet again but I’ve heard that before as well.” she said with a shrug.
Orvos could either believe her or not. They din’t know each other well enough to trust one another very far but, perhaps, circumstances weren’t giving them the choice.

Orvos sighed. “Of course he did. I don’t know what danger he may have put you in, but we will need to be ready just in case. If Dawson is alive, and if he truly has nothing against me, then he was likely requiring my help. For what I’m not sure. This redheaded woman, I’m not sure about. I’ll try to decode this and stop the eventual transmission of the data it’s collected. Stark, perhaps intelligence may have some information regarding him? If he was picked up by anyone in the Federation, surely intel would have something, right?”

“Someone with his credentials shouldn’t be too difficult to get a bead on. I’ll check”. Seemingly out of nowhere Stark’s modified personal PaDD appeared as he keyed in a search algorithm.

Marishka had been sitting quietly playing the evening over in her mind.
“I’m making an assumption here. Correct me if I’m wrong. If Dawson instigated this breach into the program, can he do this with any holodeck program he chooses?” she asked.
