Holodeck On The Blink (Part Three)

Have you ever considered anything so ridiculous. Bev is is in the broken down holodeck with me, unable to get out after we passed through a cloud, which shorted out the systems. As we were in swim costumes lying on the Copacabana Beach of brazil, she had her bikini on, and I had my Speedos trunks on. Now I'm sitting in a black room which went for a few seconds to the arctic wastes!

"What is Riker going to do?" Bev asks desperately, "We can't go on like this!"

"He's sending the holographic doctor in by special transport. They can't risk beaming us out they way things are, Bev." I reply, "He should be able to correct the fault that is in here. We can't get to it."

"But I only have my bikini on!" she protests.

"He's a doctor, Bev." He knows what men and women look like."

A few moments later a figure beams in.



The doctor looks around, then notices Bev, who is valiantly trying to cover every part of her body with her hands. He raises an eyebrow.

"There's no need to be shy, Dr Crusher." he says calmly, "My programming knows all about different bodies, and have indeed conducturing numerous medical examinations on many of the crew."

He then turns round and sees me wearing my micro-thin Speedos trunks.

This time he raises both eyebrows.

"Excuse me, Captain." he says, and walks quickly to the Arch on the other side of the room.

I hear him trying to control the giggling; eventually it gets louder, with the howls of laughter filling the room.

"Doctor!" I shout, "Can you do what you came to do?"

"Err...yes, very well." he answers, "I errr...think there must have been something wrong with my program."

The hologram reaches up into the Arch and starts to adjust a few buttons that are not accessible from inside.

Eventually, the entrance opens, and we see the corridor. Crew are walking past and watching us. We shut the door quickly. The doctor manages to retrieve our uniforms from the Arch wall that we could not open before.

"Everything is all fixed now." says the doctor, "You may put your uniforms and leave."

"Is the Copacabana Beach program repaired as well." Bev asks. The doctor confirms that it is.

"In that case." she says to him, "When you've left, the Captain and I have an appointment with an ice cream seller on the beach."

"Double scoop for me, please, Bev." I ask.
