Holo-Jennifer or Holo-Bailey?

So I’m guessing you haven’t seen the update to the news services about the 7 naussican mercenaries hired to retrieve your orbs along with the Orb, huh?

Holo-Betty or Holo-Wilma?

Which of you is from the Mirror Universe?

I Pit Nausicaans!

Yeah, I know, the Federation respects the customs and traditions of all sentient beings, blah blah blah… but seriously, what the hell?! I’m here on Bajor, enjoying shore leave by browsing the Grand Marketplace, when suddenly there’s a flash of light. The next thing I know, seven Nausicaans have beamed in all around me, and proceed to beat the holy crap out of me! For no reason!!!

While two of them worked me over, the others made a big deal out of ransacking my various possessions (not that I’d found anything worth stealing, or even haggling over-- a Risan fertility totem and what I think is a carved sehlat fang necklace). Then one of them glanced at his chronometer and got a really confused expression on his face (at least I think it was confusion-- it’s hard to tell with Nausicaans), he shouted to the others, and they all beamed out again!

By that time a crowd had begun to gather outside. I was still trying to get my bearings when the owner of the market stall rushed up to me. His various wares were all strewn about and trampled, and I figured he was looking to pin the blame on me. Strangely, he seemed more worried about dispersing the crowd before the authorities arrived. When I began to protest, he simply shoved my scattered purchases into a sack and practically threw me out into the street.

Later, as I was getting cleaned up in Sickbay, I discovered that the owner had somehow managed to mix in another item with the rest of my stuff! It’s a curious, glowing hourglass-shaped desk sculpture. I’m pretty sure it’s carved from some type of flame gem. I have this weird feeling I’ve seen something like it somewhere before, though darned if I can remember exactly where. In fact this whole incident seems uncannily familiar… I need to ask the Doc if head injuries can cause deja vu.

…Or have I already asked about that?

re: Holo-Jennifer or Holo-Bailey and Holo-Wilma or Holo-Betty

Come on, the real question is Holo-Jadzia or Holo-Ezri? Taking into account of course, that in an unaltered holo program, if you first have a relationship with Holo-Jadzia, Holo-Ezri is bound by her oath as a conjoined Trill to break off all relationships that were once had by the Dax symbiont’s previous hosts. So you have to choose carefully.
