Mission: The Race for the Lost Treasure
Location: Starbase Typhon

[Starbase Typhon]

The sounds of the ocean waves filled the white sandy beach. The bright yellow sun was beating down on the beach itself - there didn't seem to be a cloud in the sky. It was nothing but the blue sky. It was a perfect day.

Michael grabbed his drink from a table located near his beach chair and took a sip. He allowed the bitter flavor to work its way down as he placed the glass back on the table and leaned back. He placed his sunglasses back on and sighed.

His peaceful paradise was disturbed by a running noise coming from the table. He tilted his head to the side ever so slightly as he looked at the device. He wondered if he should answer it - in all honesty he didn't have a choice but to answer it but for once it would be nice to not answer it. He took another few seconds before extending his hands grabbing the ear piece device in one hand and the other device in his other hand.

He placed the ear piece in his eat and looked at the display. He pressed the answer button.

"I'm here..." It was all he said then listened to the voice on the other end of the line.

He remained silent for what it seemed almost a minute.

"I understand sir..." He eventually replied to the voice on the other end. "I will leave immediately sir." He added after another few brief seconds.

The voice once again took control of the conversation. And Michael remained silent for another minute or so. He listened carefully to what was being said. A more focused look had come over his face.

"I will check in regularly sir." He said.

And with that the call had been dropped. The conversation was over. Michael looked down at his device looking to the display and at the time. He placed the device back on the table and grabbed his glass. He brought it to his lips and chugged the rest of the drink.

What it seemed to be one motion he got up from his chair placing the glass back down grabbing the device from the table and his towel. He then headed away from the beach.

"Computer - exit."

The computer obeyed his command as the exit appeared in the middle of the white sandy beach.

"Computer - end program." Michael called out to the computer as he stepped off the holodeck heading down the corridor.
