Kelly sat at her desk tapping the stylus rhythmically. The murder mystery concept sounded fun. She could easily find an interesting program and plug it into the holodeck but most of those programs did not take too many brain cells to figure out. Kelly wanted to see how her crew worked together. =/\=Emma can you come to my office=/\=Kelly ordered over the comm.

Captain Kelly Shutlz

Emma paused as she heard the page. She hadn’t meet Kelly yet. Jacen had talked about her and a few others in the crew, but she just hadn’t seen her at all yet. She turned and made it to the turbolift and exited off the bridge.

Nodding at the crew she turned and paused as she paged the door. All outward signs someone might associate with nervousness didn’t show, no breathing or sweat to be seen but her face seemed to itch with a worried brow. Some of the Captains hadn’t taking kindly to meeting her at all. She couldn’t help but feel half the time she wasn’t even wanted on this ship.

EMMA

“Come,” Kelly said as she heard the chime. Of all the crew, EMMA was the one Kelly worried about meeting the most. From a perfectly theoretical standpoint, EMMA was a bunch of fancy and complex 1’s and 0’s. She had a birth like a star where she did not grow and become who she was. EMMA just was from the second she came online. However, EMMA had grown into the person that was walking into Kelly’s office. The hologram person had adapted learned and experienced things that made her unique. Kelly had already accepted the as part of the crew but the bigger part was could Kelly see past everything and find the woman walking towards her as real as a friend.

“EMMA hello. GLad to finally meet you,” Kelly said extending a hand on autopilot.

Captain Kelly Shultz

“Captain… you needed me?” EMMA asked, a sense of almost trepidation in her voice. She never really found these type of formal meetings ever went her way with any of the ship captains. She didn’t think anything wrong had happened to her knowledge, and Jacen and member of the Engineering staff had talked well of Kelly. She even heard one of them saying she had a great rack for a Captain, as well as a firm tush. Now EMMA didn’t know what those terms meant, they sounded very complimentary to her.

Looking around EMMA taking in some of the decor of the office. She had been here several time, and didn’t really seem to ever change too much. Different plants and picture but relatively the same placements. Though she did seem to have a strong smell of coffee, while she knew the taste and smell well from Jacen she didn’t need to eat food or drink, instead her matrix re-purposed the materials into energy.

Still, the office smelled of this worse than the time Jacen spilled the entire carafe on him, yet there was no pots of it anywhere in site. Did the captain just gulp it down so often the smell seemed to waft and permeate into the furniture EMMA wondered. She heard from Jacen her Yeoman Ian seemed to get less work done due to his constant back and forth from the replicator, but surely someone couldn’t drink this much.

EMMA

“Yes,” Kelly said extending her hand. While it was not a surprise that it felt like a real hand with its warmth and solid grip, Kelly was fascinated by the woman whose hand she was embracing. There had been several reports of AI crew over the years in Star fleet but Kelly had never actually experienced working with someone like that.

“As you know we are not getting shore leave again and they crew is really needing some down time. I was hoping you could maybe help me out in this area,” Kelly said taking a seat at her desk. “Are you familiar with the concept of Murder Mystery?”

Captain Kelly Shultz

EMMA paused, she was accessing the data before speaking. “I am now, but… I mean… maybe not? A murder mystery is a type of TV show popular on Earth in the 20th and 21st century… what does that have to do with here?” EMMA asked, not realizing she should have expanded past the first hit for her search for the term.

EMMA

“I was thinking we could stage one here in the holodeck. You could host it. Just go back a little farther. Search the Milton Bradley game clue. Then hit with a dose of speed and you have more along the lines of what I was thinking of,” Kelly admitted.

Captain Kelly Shultz

“Host… Ma’am… I…” EMMA looked shocked at the suggestion, she wasn’t really a social butterfly, she worked, she hung up with some engineers. Outside of work, Jacen, Rinker, and sometimes Relann where all she knew. Her resent foray into teaching was something new Jacen had suggested upon her, but it was certainly something she would call social.

“Are you sure I am right for this?” EMMA asked Kelly.

EMMA

“You would be perfect. I mean you are running a school with 50 kids all ranging from 3 to 17 with scattered skill levels to match. Not much different than what I do,” Kelly winked at her with a smile.

“The other reason is you can separate your subroutines correct? So you can creat a program but then block it so you can be surprised along with the rest of us when you participate. That is the main reason I asked you. You could create it but half the fun is not knowing the outcome right. So will you do it?”

Captain Kelly Shultz

“I… yes?” EMMA said, the uncertain feeling was clear but she was excited at the same time. Jacen always said she needed to branch out, and the Captain was giving her said chance. She couldn’t pass up a chance to interact and get to know others and this seemed the perfect chance for her to do so.

EMMA

“Excellent so this is what I had in mind.” Kelly explained the concept answering any questions EMMA had for the next thirty minutes. The idea was simple. Mansion with a group of guests where a murder happened and the guest figured out who did it. Everyone who wanted could come as a character from the list provided. What Kelly hoped would make it better would be EMMA’s ability to hide the name of the killer even from her.

Captain Kelly Shultz

“Should I dress for a certain part? Who do I pretend to be?” EMMA asked Kelly, unsure if they were themselves, or someone else.
