Prompt: Sam - "She didn't like me very much." - 'The West Wing'
"What are we doing here?" Henley asked as she followed Dalby onto the holodeck and found herself on a holographic version of Voyager's bridge. It was the second time today that she had been here and she had no more desire to be here this time than she had earlier.
"We're going to figure out Tuvok's training program. I refused to fail this training session," Dalby said, thinking again of Torres' words in engineering. She wouldn't give her the satisfaction of being right.
"You know, I don't really feel like dying again today," Chell commented. "I'd rather be sleeping."
"Then go climb back in your bunk and let Tuvok's training program make you look like a fool," Dalby told the Bolian bitterly.
"I think I can see why Tuvok doesn't like you very much," Chell retorted. "And for once I'm starting to agree with him."
"Tuvok doesn't like any of us very much," Henley chimed in, unsure of whose side she was on. She had looked forward to an early night tonight but Dalby made a valid point. For once she wanted to feel like she did something right during this training session.
"Isn't this really a moot point? Do Vulcans feel like or dislike toward something?"
Gerron's quiet questions made everyone turn in the Bajoran's direction. Already seated at the operations station, Gerron looked back at them with an expressionless gaze.
"The kid has a point," Henley said, a smile coming to her face when she thought about how ridiculous their argument had been getting. "I'm willing to give up an hour of beauty rest."
"Sure you can spare it," Dalby joked, his grin softening the words.
"I don't see you winning any beauty contests anytime soon," Henley countered.
"Touche," Dalby replied with a chuckle, before turning serious again. "Let's get started then," he announced.
As Dalby headed for the captain's chair, Henley and Chell headed for their respective stations.
Dalby was determined to figure this program out. He refused to let the Vulcan or his training methods get the best of him.
