Moving in.
Zack Jarvis
Just below the science deck
Zack was becoming more and more melancholy as he unpacked his bags.
Not only were the science labs on Blue Dwarf solely lacking, but the
security guy at the docking ring had confiscated a lot of his stuff.
What was his name? "Biff"? That guy really had it coming to him.
At least he had been able to keep his pocket spectral analyser.
Plus, he had been able to smuggle some of his more "interesting"
equipment and supplies. He even had a sample of "universal solvet",
the highly dangerous chemical that could dissolve any soid it comes
into contact with. It was now floating in its own personal anti-
gravity chamber, disguised as a Thermos flask. Zack made a personal
note to be careful which thermos he drank out of. That could be
nasty.
And, to top it all off, some joker had signed him up for a paintball
match. Oh well, he'd better go get some practise in....

About lunchtime
The holo deck
The holo deck maintenance guy was really quite surprised when someone
came in, walked straight past the bank of groinal attatchments on the
wall, and started up a sports simulation. In the four years he'd
been on the ship, he'd never seen anybody use a sports simulation
program. Plus he'd never seen a camoflaged lab coat before.

3 mins later
The holo deck
A paint-splattered figure bedragled figure stomped out of the holo-
deck, muttering furiously under his breath. He marched off to the
science labopratory, leaving multi-coloured foot-steps in his wake.

30 mins later
The holo deck
Zack walked back into the holo-deck, supporting a strangely shiny
camo-lab-coat, and an evil grin.
"Hehehehehe, now see how tough you are" giggled Zack, as he pulled on
his lab goggles and stepped into the holo-suite.....
