Beamed into Star Trek

Chapter 22: A bunch of Lore

...Three months and two weeks after Far Point...

...Enterprise...

Turned out Commander Data has a long lost brother, who recently was uncovered and assembled. Life growing inside feels strange and weird all at once but otherwise fascinating for a girl. I can feel movements below my belly button. For being pregnant I have discovered a odd interest in eating potatoes with gravy, lettuce, and jello. I have strangely been getting cravings for gravy and lettuce  kind of food except for chocolate.

"Hello," Came a voice like Data's.

I turn my head toward the source of the voice.

Data surely wouldn't be in that kind of attire.

My next guess is that this is Lore.

"Hi," I said. "You don't have landing required equipment."

Lore smirked.

"I don't need landing pads," Lore said. "I am an Android."

"I am a rock climber," I said. "Not a super human."

A smile grew on Lore's face.

"I bet you can't climb Mount Deli," Lore said.

"Mount what?" I asked.

"Humans used to call the location 'Mount McKinly'," Lore said. "Or we can do a climbing race on the holographic Mount Everest."

"Heck no," I said. "You are mad!"

"There are safety protocols for that matter," Lore said. "I have done considerable research into the holodeck."

I climb up the mountain. I once watched a movie about these men who climbed a mountain that was brizzlingly cold and they lost half their men trying to climb down. I remember it because of the snow filled scenery, the large fearsome gaps where a man could fall, men being frozen to death, two men fighting on the edge of a mountain side coated in snow, and there being a helicopter. I later learned it was on Mount Everest.

I also remember a movie where a couple men went into a forest and only one to two men came back out. The rest of the men were either killed by a bear, accidents, or the plane crash that stranded them there.

"Research my aft," I said.

"Computer, change to Mount Everest," Lore said. "Back in the 2000's era."

"LORE!" I shout.

In a instant the scenery changed from arid to a cold chilly setting.

"You AFT PIPE!" I shout. "YOU CHANGED THE PROGRAMMING!"

I saw Lore's figure climbing up.

"I am winnnning!" Lore said, excitedly.

"Computer, change scenery to a grassy mountain!" I shouted. "BEING, REALLY,REALLY, REALLY WET! Put a loose boulder in Lore's way!"

The deck changed to a light scenery. The sky has dark clouds above. There are large rainforest like tree's below. I have equipment projected by the holodeck keeping me in place. There are creatures moving in the bushes that are most nearby. I heave a sigh lowering my head. I have to wait, I thought, for Lore to notice.

I can smell the clean free air.

First time I ever took smelling for granted. In reality I cannot smell. I closed my eyes feeling the wind brush through my short hair. I had a little smile enjoying the breeze. I feel a light kick in my stomach from baby Kevin.

"Mommy is just handling a pest, little one," I said, rubbing my stomach.

"AH!" I heard Lore.

I saw Lore running down the mountain with his hands covered in mud.
