Holodeck; Part 7
It had been a while since that night that Katherine had been sent to CyberLife, specifically,
two days. Jack was supposed to be coming to Katherine's any minute. Susan & Blip were
sitting in the Kitchen, while Katherine was down in her lab.
"Tell me again what Katherine was doing?" asked Susan.
"She's trying to find a chemical in Creatures that can cure Glycotoxin. So far, all she
came up with is Glycogen." Blip answered.
"Ooo- that’ll help some poor soul without BORG." Susan mused. "Anyway, has she
completely forgotten what time it is? Jack should be here now!"
Blip looked at the clock. "Katherine told me that we were to make a presentation if she
wasn't up here when he arrives. 'I can't be bothered.' she said." Just then, the doorbell
rang. Susan got up and answered it. 'Twas Jack.
"Uhm, Hello," he said, "Is there a Katherine here?"
"She's doing an experiment right now." Replied Susan. "I'm Susan, the robot behind me
is Blip, and I assume you're Jack."
"Why, Yes, I am..." Jack stammered. He walked behind Susan to get a better look at
Blip. "Katherine told me about you. I thought you were but a myth."
"No," Blip was confused. "I'm very much real, an invention of Katherine's. Anyway,
the HoloDeck is in Katherine's room. Care for a demonstration?"
"Yeah." replied Jeff. All three of them filed into Katherine's room. Susan turned the
HoloDeck on, while Blip gave a small speech.
"The HoloDeck," he started, "Is an invention of Katherine's, one that really works. See
those two Norns on the screen of that computer? That's Jenna, the first norn who was ever
on earth, and Karr, the first norn ever born on earth. Now, if you would be so kind as to
type in 'push mover', Jack?
Jack stepped up to the computer and did so. Jenna looked at him with a grin, then led
Karr over to the mover. She made sure they were both on, and pushed mover. A flash of
light appeared over the HoloDeck, and Jenna and Karr appeared after it.
"My gosh..." Jack couldn't believe this. "They're..." he held out a hand, and rubbed
Jenna on the ear, then ran his fingers through Karr's hair. "They really are real!"
"As real as you and me." Susan replied.
Just then, everyone heard a big explosion from Katherine's Lab. Then, Katherine
appeared in the doorway.
"Wow!" She gasped. "I found a chemical that reacts with Glycotoxin to make
Methane, which is highly flammable, so there was a big blow-out down there. But I put
everything out. Hey, you're Jack!"
Jack wiggled his nose a bit. Katherine had methane smell all over her. He swallowed
hard. "Yes, and I just saw your invention work well. We're doing a promotion in Disney
World, and Toby wanted me to ask if you'd like to come help?
Susan, Katherine, and Blip looked at each other. Then, they began dancing in a circle
and shouting, "We're all going to Disney World! We're all going to Disney world!"
