<USS Avalon> "Around In Circles"

"Around In Circles"
Jr. Lt. James Henderson
 
 
Looking at the text message James couldn't believe his  eyes. He had no idea 
that the Chief Tactical Officer had heard his comments or  that he would think 
James was prejudiced. Then to be threatened with a write up  if he spoke his 
mind again. That was just plain ridiculous.
 
He finished off his shift with no major problems. It's not  exactly like the 
ship was going anywhere and engineering still hadn't sent the  requested 
changes. So basically all he did was stand around and monitor the  ship. Which 
was 
docked to a station.
 
He reported off to the next unfortunate soul who got to  stand watch during 
the night shift and returned to his cabin. He took a quick  shower and changed 
into some old gym clothes. He needed to work off some  frustration. He 
would've called Lyta to see if she wanted to join him but he  wanted to be 
alone. He 
grabbed his gear and made his way to the holodeck and  loaded his program.
 
"Computer load program Henderson, Beta zulu 456." 
 
He waited while the computer finished loading the program.  "You may enter at 
any time. Program is up and running."
 
Entering the holodeck he waited until the doors closed  behind him. As he 
stood there he could hear the sounds of the program. He was  back in time, the 
21 
century to be exact. Before him were several different  types of motor 
vehicles from that time period. These particular vehicles were  designed to go 
extremely fast around a circular track.
 
He walked up to his car. It was black with yellow trim, no  windows, instead 
there was some kind of webbing. Putting on his helmet he  crawled through the 
webbing and into the car. He made sure he was securly  fastened and then he 
started it up. He could feel the power of the engine as it  purred beneath his 
feet. He manevered his vehicle into formation along with the  rest of the cars. 
 
The man with the green flag waved it furiously beginning  the race. He always 
thought it was kinda funny to keep going in a circle.  Nevertheless he 
enjoyed the anticipation of what would happen next. Usually  there were at 
least 
three or four crashes but as long as he wasn't in them he  didn 't mind. He 
just 
enjoyed the rush and exhiliaration he got from the fast  speeds.
 
Several hours later he left the holodeck feeling much  calmer. He had a 
feeling he would be using this program more and more,  especially if Sr. Lt. 
Zarak 
continued as he  was.
