Small dots flickered in the darkness of the closed pod for a brief second while the program loaded, only to be nearly instantly washed if the glow of the holo projector. Darkness melted away to suddenly be replaced with the sights and sounds of a small local task carrier, every bulkhead, every crew member nearly indistinguishable from the real thing save for a very faint glow, and semi transparency.
