“Hmmm I thought I saw him move that way.” Hannah pointed across to the other bank. The river was deep enough to swim and, since it was holographic water, once she stepped back into the corridor she would be dry. So she dived in, using sure powerful stroked to reach the opposite side. “The ground is a bit muddy here. We might find prints if he did go this way.”

Hannah

Sheleah thought Hannah was on the right track but she wasn’t as fast of a swimmer as Hannah so it took her a little longer to get to the other bank.

When she got to the other side she began looking for paw prints in the mud.

“Yeah, you’d think we’d find him here wouldn’t you? I’m not seeing any prints though. Maybe some of these low trees? Oh look! Blackberry bushes!” she said pointing a little further down the bank, “He likes to hide.”

She made her way slowly down tot he blackberry bushes but, again, no Rex paw prints and no Rex.

“The reason I don’t just end the program and find him the easy way is because the last time I did that, he was eighteen feet up a rock face. I don’t know if he was scared or what but, the sudden shift was very disorienting for him so, it’s hide and seek for a little while longer.”

  • Sheleah

“We could easily mitigate that. Have the computer isolate his location, bring the elevation equal with outs and maintain the location 5 feet in each direction and then end the rest of the program. That way he doesn’t get so disoriented or risk getting hurt.” Hannah moved further off the bank, still barefoot, and looked for signs of Rex. He could have jumped rather than walked from the bank. “But I don’t want to end his fun either.”

Hannah

“Exactly! I don’t want to end his fun either. Sometimes I feel guilty taking him from his natural environment but, by the time I left Brazil, it was really the only solution.”

Sheleah knelt at the edge of the thicket of blackberries and gingerly parted some branches close to the ground.

“Yey. Are you in there little guy? COme on, you’re tiring momma out.”

She paused for a few minutes to listen and then stood up quickly.

“I think I heard something a little further down stream.”

  • Sheleah

Hannah moved down stream to meet up with Sheleah. “So you have an Ocelot and are the counselor and diplomatic officer on board a battleship. What do you do for fun?” She cast her gaze around and moved softly along. She didn’t want to startle poor Rex, but Sheleah seemed concerned so she wanted to find him.

Hannah

Sheleah laughed.

“Aw come on… This is fun. Well, it’s even more fun when he doesn’t get himself lost. I like my job. I read a lot. I just try to find my place wherever I go. If we find a planet that has real horses, I’m happy there but, I think that’s best on Earth.” she said backing out of the blackberry brambles.

  • Sheleah

“I have never ridden, I’m looking forward to it. But honestly if we didn’t have holodecks I don’t know what I would do. I would quickly tire of the gym. I mean I like books and music and games, but I have to active.” Hannah looked around. “Does he like to climb? Those trees down stream are pretty tall.”

Hannah

Sheleah looked up at the trees and began walking towards them.

“His sisters used to like to climb more than him but Sam has lost track of them in the preserve so I’m not sure anymore but, let’s take a look.”

Sheleah stepped over a fallen log and began crunching over fallen leaves towards the stand of trees Hannah had indicated.

“I don’t think I would be much use on a ship that didn’t have some type of holodeck situation. If we don’t burn off some of the energy we’ve got, through physical exercise, we become very hard to get along with.” she said scanning the trees.

Through the wind Sheleah thought she heard some soft meowing and turned in the direction it had been coming from.

“Up this hill where the trees thin out.”

  • Sheleah

Hannah had to agree. “It makes me stir crazy. My last ship was at a dry dock for 3 weeks, we ran out of things to do. We all got a little nuts. Our security chief replicated toy guns that used these foam darts and we had an all out battle all over the ship. We were finding darts for months.”

Hannah followed Sheleah up the hill she closed her eyes and reached up to adjust her i.plants slightly trying to see if she could hear the sift cries any better.
