I would pool time with friends for a multi-hour Dungeon crawl.
That prompts a question–do your hours add together if you use them concurrently? I.e., is the ration to fairly distribute the available holodeck hours (in which case two people with one hour’s ration each get to play for two hours together) or to limit the number of hours you fuck around on the holodeck (in which case two people with one hour’s ration each get to play for one hour together)?
Nope. Not gonna happen. I’ll grant Skald sanctuary in my Grove. Ain’t no rap music there. And I have lots of…defensive devices…to keep it that way.
The only I can think of not to let the hours be additive is that it might cut into operational efficiency. That is, if the holodecks need to be offline twelve hours out of every month for maintenance, you can’t let people say, “But that’ll break into the time the twenty-eight of us want to reserve it!” Likewise, you don’t want cadets up all night in the holodeck when they have to be up at 0500 the next morning.
Look, just 'cause you guys haven’t ever *heard *good hip-hop doesn’t mean there isn’t any. Everyone must like what I like, dammit!
Is that a threat, or a promise? Wink, leer, etc.
Okay, you need to calm down. I’m sending over some hookerbots of various flavors.
[Kosh]
Yes.
[/Kosh]
Let him keep the ones you send. They might like rap, and infect the rest of the herd if allowed to return.
These are the new generation hookerbots. We don’t just wipe the memories between users anymore; each one is melted into a pile of goo and reformed from the molecular level up. That’s why hookerbot fees have gone up 459% since April.
Don’t blame me, blame the health department. I mean, you wipe out ONE MIDWESTERN CITY with an epidemic of hyper-mega-syphilis, and people get all pissy.
“Him”?
Yowza.
Dayum. And yes, I fell for the Shower Pic. Probably deserved to be disappointed, and I was, but it was funny. Then I clicked on another link, and learned that she apparently plays a raid tank. So much is so right. It’s a damn shame she listens to that boom-boom rap stuff, instead of screaming guitars as Karana intended.
We’re good! 
It’s interesting to me that the 20something white chick likes rap a lot more than the 40ish black dude.
Chalk it up to a sign of the rich and diverse times we live in, eh Skald?
Is it too late to divert the hookerbots? I’d rather they just kidnap my boyfriend and bring him here early. (He’s flying in Thursday night, but I want him here now, dammit.)
I actually don’t listen to *that *much hip-hop–I just recognize that there’s good stuff out there. If it makes you feel any better, one of my best friends is in a really awesome noise rock band and the album I’ve probably been listening to the most in the past week or two has been Poster Children’s RTFM. Oh, and I have *I Am the Game *by Bloodsport on vinyl.
This is totally siggable. If I ever used a sig I might steal it.
I’m imagining a line of people waiting to use the holodeck carrying empty buckets and everyone leaving the holodeck carrying buckets of various bodily byproducts.
In reality(in the trekverse at least), holodecks are combinations of force fields and focused light. Simulating natural flesh with those tools would not be easy, and it’s entirely possible they use replicator technology to replicate some nice warm lips, in the same way you’d replicate a nice hunk of steak, that they then manipulate with force fields if the person comes into contact with them. When you leave the meatlips attached to focused light behind they’re disintegrated and their energy recaptured to power the holodeck. In fact, since they have matter/antimatter transmutation you might be required to leave a deposit of matter of some sort in the holodeck so it can transform it into energy to replace the power it used during your session.
Enjoy,

It’s been done. Remember the *ST:TNG *episode with the Binars? They programmed that French chick (well, with a French name, anyway) to keep Riker in the holodeck and he didn’t have any complaints.
They’re hookerbots, dear. Not programmed for that sort of op.
What kind of shitty hookerbots can’t be programmed to kidnap someone? What if that had been part of my fantasy?!
I want my money back.
