"And just why isn't the computer supposed to see us as Furries?" Scott's
wife asked.
"Because! We're supposed to be on a cruise! A late twen-cen cruise!"
"As if we didn't have cruises in our world, Scott!" Samantha cries, then
storms off.
Later, the crew visiting the holodeck is gathered around the pool.
Samantha stands as far away from Scott as possible.
"Tuvok says it was some random program garbage that got leaked into the
system." human Janeway said to the crowd. "He assures us that the code has
been eliminated and everything is back to normal. Now go. Go and have fun.
That's an order. Don't think I'm kidding. I mean it."
The crowd chuckles, then spreads out.
Scott looks for his wife but she had taken the momentary distraction to
vault over a nearby wall.
Scott wanders off, depressed and unsure of himself.
Meanwhile...the device on the tip of the ship glowed brighter, blocking
communications to the crew inside.
Scott plods down a carpeted hallway. Behind him the wall shimmers and
flows. Words are spelled out in dimples that form on the surface.
"Scott." it read. "It's Lt. Torres. You must all leave the holdeck now!
Scott! Scott! Dammit!"
