Glacier
Lt. Tom Paris was trying to figure out the holo-deck program Glacier. It was supposed to been a much different type of environment. Instead of being totally all ice glaciers and caves.
For where the only life forms around would be bears, penguins or anything else that can survive this type of element.
And the main reason he was able to do this was boredom. Since the Voyager was entering a piece of space that basically had nothing of interested for the entire crew to get involved. Even Captain Janeway and Chakotay agreed as well.
Including for the fact B' Elanna Torres the past few weeks has been avoiding him. Even though B'Elanna has been his wife for the past two years and expecting there second child.
For which he's been trying to figure it out as to why. Just after Paris, Kim and even Tuvok had come back from a under- cover operation for those eight days they were gone.
All for the sake of acquiring further trade from inside of the Delta region. And mostly seek vengeance on the new species the Voyager was able to come across.
Any rate...
Lt. Paris needed to be sure the program was working correctly. He didn't wish to be trapped inside and just mainly freeze to death or be killed from some type of ice creature unknown to him or the ship's computers.
And for Tom Paris...He was a man that likes to take all kinds of risks. Even though after seven years. His back ground for illegal dealings tends to keep slapping him in his face.
Right now he could use a drink and get himself inebriated for at least a few hours. While he mutters to himself working on the outside in the corridor with no one passing him by with the lateness of the hour.
As he tries to comfort himself. Until he was able to see Kim walking down in order to look for him for some reason.
"Hey!; I wanna to see on whether or not you could use a bite to eat. Neelix with all of the trade dealings. He was able to come up with something really edible for a change." He replies with some what of a smile before lightly touching his stomach. It was rumbling like Saint Mount Helens...
"Interested?; I'm more in the mood with exploring at this point, and see what the holo novel can provide." He mutters to his friend before sighing and becoming completely befuddled.
"Ok Tom. I need to go to our quarters to get ready for the outing. You really expect me to go inside without the proper dressing?"As he's able to perk up a little for when it comes to trying new programs for the most part.
"Wait a minute!" He hollered out to him for a moment before he's able to catch him quickly. "if you happened to run into my wife. Please do me a favor. Don't say a word to her unless she has already guessed on what we are up to." He said in a soft tone of voice.
"What ever Tom!" Before the friends simultaneously were able to moved off quickly passing be crew-members on the way to either the bridge, engineering or just plain lingering...
