OK this is a bit of a hypothetical situtation - that came to me as I was driving home the otherday after no sleep for nearly 24 hours and after my anatomy exams

What TWO programs would you create on the holodeck if you had the chance...

one relaxational
one physical...

this doesn't have to degrade into sexual fantasy's people

For me

relaxational: an island of green green grass surrounded by pure blue ocean stretching as far as the eye could see with a nice breeze blowing... and not too hot and not too cold...

physical: a recreation of The Lord of the Rings...

your turn - indulge yourself...

To relax, maybe a beach.

I don't think I could top Middle Earth. I'd like to see them copy Moria!! Fight your way throught the Orcs, then face the Balrog!!!

Posted by Striker on :

heh, you want to ask people about what they would do on a holodeck and you expect it not to degrade to sexual fantasy's?

Heh, ok ok.
Physical: Some sort of fighting set in a cool sci-fi universe like StarWars Matrix etc.
Relaxational: Snowboarding somewhere totally exotic

Physical: A WW I flying ace scenario complete with old aircraft.
Safety protocols engaged, of course, those old crates were rather unsafe even when perfectly maintained!
Relaxation: A well-stocked log cabin high in the Sierra Nevada mountains during a mild snow fall.
Fireplace, well-stocked larder (and liquor cabinet), picture windows so you could watch the swirling snow from within a safe, warm haven.
"Brrr! It's cold out there, isn't it! More brandy?"

Play: idealized tropical beach setting (the movie version of "Contact" and American commercials for Corona Beer come to mind.)

Slay: any Yankee big-budget action movie (Some-one already said The Matrix) impossible car chases, wacky helicopter stunts, infinite-capacity firearms, a target-rich environment of bad guys, optional space monsters, {and Xentrick gets the girl by the closing credits. yeah, as if... }

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Relaxation: You don't wanna know...

Physical: More of the same... ;-)

Posted by Bernd (Member # 6) on :

relaxation: Risa, but not quite so warm and no men
physical: maybe a fleet yards scenario

Posted by Epoch (Member # 136) on :

Relax: I have to go with a nice warm beach. With lots of beautiful women.

Physical: Big guns, lots of targets, and jets fighters to fly.

Death before Dishonor!
However Dishonor has
quite a disputed defintion.

Posted by Michael Dracon (Member # 4) on :

I'd like to take a YF-23 stealth fighter out for a spin, maybe even take out a few enemy fighters.

As for relaxation, I'm thinking small cabin in the mountains in Canada or Scandinavia (sp?) like in Airwolf.

Posted by Montgomery (Member # 23) on :

If I had a holodeck, I'd presumably have a starship attached to it. That would be all the recreation I'd need for at least a year.

And anyone who says they wouldn't use a holodeck for sex is a liar. That'd be it's raison d'etre!

combat in a F-16 and then Capt. of the Akira

or a wine party with Tori Amos

Posted by Black Knight (Member # 134) on :

1. Physical: I'd prefer an F-22 or X-35, and maybe my own firearms range
2. Relaxing: Beautiful Cabin, on a beautiful mountain top, with beautiful trees, maybe some more beautiful stuff.

Posted by KXZ (Member # 119) on :

I would want to recreate space battles. We've seen on Star Trek. To relax I'd make a beach from Risa.

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Physical: A Lightsaber duel similar to the one in ST:TPM. And maybe some Skydiving (so if the chute fails, then the safeties would be on......)

Relaxational: A nice Roller Coaster ride........

fight: Final Fantasy VII. Although you could probably through Tifa and Aieres into the other program. With Sarah Michelle Geller. Who'd also feature in the fight program. See, it all intermingles..

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :

Action: "Computer, activate program X-Men One: Sentinel Attack! I will be playing Wolverine."

Relaxation/stimulation: a gathering of my five most interesting and intellectually stimulating friends, along with recreations of Robert A. Heinlein, Tori Amos, Carl Sagan, and Sarah Bernhardt. Wine and junk food all around, a lit fireplace, and prime lounging furniture.

That should keep us busy for DAYS.

Extreme relaxation: Same as above, except delete everybody but Tori Amos, bring in a jacuzzi, and add Callista, Winona, and Christina. (Well, if you're going to go that direction, go big!!!)

Colorge Personal Program 254: "A Night at the Oscars"

Description: An action program where you play a prodigy who is invited to the Oscars because you are a major stock holder in a movie company. But during the ceremony, a terrorist group takes over and you must stop them from destroying Southern California and save everyone in the ceremony. Since you are a prodigy, you will have an arsenal of gagets to use that you created.

Colorge Personal Program 255: "Manhattan Screwdrivers Over Aspen"

Description: A relaxation program where you have Manhattan screwdrivers in a cabin during winter.

I personally like the idea of a cabin, skydiving and a weapons range, but since they have already been taken,so I would have to say..

Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :

Physical: I'll definately have to go with Bernd on this one. UP!!

Relaxational: Either A: a small natural pool with small waterfalls in the jungle, cool, no bugs, and A***.
Or B: a cabin in the Rockies with a nice fireplace, and two story ceiling to flor windows overlooking the vast expanse of rock, with a mild snowfall. With A***.

Oh. Here was I hoping it was Arex... you know three arms and three legs might be a little tricky!

What race was Lt. Arex? Would have been good to have seen one in DS9.

I was thinking about this some more, and you know what I'd really like?

(NO, BESIDES that! I couldn't handle any more girls in that scenario!)

I'd like a holodeck "Grand Tour" of every system, world, moon, and chunk of rock, inhabited or not, in the Galaxy. That'd be SO cool. It'd keep me busy for YEARS.

of course, it'd probably take up more memory than the average starship's computer HAS... Oh, well.

I think Starfleet doesn't use the holodeck technology to its maximum. They can do so much more things with it. Variations of the EMH, such as an Emergency Engineer (From http://members.tripod.com/~SMR4124/ or an Emergency Security Unit. They could use it for starship design and medical training. Have you got any other ideas for Starfleet?

We're talking about our own, PERSONAL scenarios here. I doubt most of us would get our jollies from palling around with a holographic engineer.. engineers being the party animals that they are.
