Sandra.......playing devil's advocate...... as Lucy didn't actually number the previous chapter to this she may have intended that one to be an extension to chapter 18. ;D

Will be interesting to see not only who the Ambassador asks to go with him to the holodeck to choose a wardrobe, if he chooses one, but what kind of wardrobe he will choose, whether it will be a 24th Century version of something OUR Horatio would wear, i.e. a button down shirt, and jeans or slacks, or if he would go completely casual, and go with 24th Century version of jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers, or exactly what he will choose.
A very interesting chapter, Lucy. Well done. Don't see the crew in 10-Forward that often, so you pulled it off very well. Can't wait to see where you take it next.

Very nice chapter, glad to see Horatio asking more and more questions about human life. Obviously he will need some help picking out some new clothes, I have this wonderful feeling he will be asking Ehliena, but that's just me! ;D

Wow, I'm so late here! Wonderful chapters Lucy! I love how the story is developing and I love how Horatio is building his personality. Great to know that she can see him in her mind like in the beginning. Me too, I have the feeling that he can read her. And I see something between them. Can wait to know what he will choose to wear! BTW, Crime Wave is one of my fav chapters!! ;D Gonsy

Hehe... No worries Sanne... I'm teasing too, I'm so busy these days, I get lost.... As for today's Chap... Who did Horatio choose to help him...? Btw... A Chris WP today too.. Enjoy Lucy Chapter 21 “Mr Data, could I enquire if you are on duty at present?” The android turned and regarded the Ambassador, “No Ambassador, I am not required for duty for another three hours, 52 minutes and 27 seconds, is there something I may do for you?” Horatio grinned, “Would you join me for an experiment?” Data gave him an almost curious look, “An experiment? Sounds intriguing, I would be most interested in what you wish to do.” After Horatio gave a quick explanation, the android’s eyebrows rose slightly, “Are you sure that you want my opinion sir, surely Commander Riker or the Counsellor would be a better choice.” Horatio shook his head, “Over the last few days, I have discovered that everyone’s opinions vary, some even contradicting each other. From you, I know that I can get a completely unbiased opinion.” Data nodded, “True, the best place to begin would probably be the holodeck, where we can examine many men’s fashions of different races – maybe one particular style would appeal to you.” After an hour, Horatio pulled a face, “I don’t see us getting anywhere with this – there are so many styles…” Data interrupted, “If I may make a suggestion? You wish to find clothing of a casual nature, but which still marks you as Symehk, rather than the many modern styles which would make you blend in. Might I suggest that as you have adopted the work attire of Lieutenant Horatio Caine of the CSI Miami TV series, you could adopt his casual style also?” Horatio sighed, “That’s the problem Data – During the show, Lt Caine was always working, you never see him in casual attire.” He paused for a moment, “but maybe you have something – maybe we’re looking too far afield. Computer… Give items of casual men’s wear of the early 21st century.” As the computer started moving through different items, Data took up the idea, “Computer, refine search to males over 30 years of age, persons of high social standing.” Horatio gave Data a curious look, “Why did you select that?” “From what we know of Lt Caine, he is well respected in his field and carries the rank of police Lieutenant, this would mark him as a person who is able to move around in certain groups easily – the age restriction is more obvious – we would not expect him to dress as a teenager for example.” The Ambassador nodded and began to smile as the styles of dress became instantly more appealing. “I guess I have enough of the Lieutenant’s character to fit with what he might have chosen… Computer pause.” Data watched closely as the mannequin currently on display was inspected carefully, “Does this appeal to your taste sir?” Seeing Horatio nod he obtained more information about the outfit from the computer. ‘Slacks and Polo Shirt. Slacks are leg garments that are considered smart-casual in style, favoured by business men away from work during the late 20th and early 21st century. These could be dressed up for an appointment by matching with a button through shirt and ‘blazer’ or ‘sports jacket’. The polo shirt, developed from the tennis shirt created by Lacoste in the 1920’s was marketed with great success by entrepreneur Ralph Lauren. It can be used for a casual look – and was also used in retail chains that wanted to create an informal but smart style of uniform. Available in many colours, the polo shirt can also be matched with ‘jeans’ for a more relaxed style, though when teamed with a jacket was also considered to be smart enough to be worn to dinner in many places.’Horatio grinned, “I think I’ve found my ‘look’ Data, now I just need to find something to wear in my workouts with Worf, and I think my wardrobe is complete.”

Well.......Data did a great job, even though he wasn't the first person who came to mind when H wanted someone to help him..... ;D ;D Great chap.....can easily imagine H wearing these kind of clothes when he's off duty. Sandra

Great chapter, so he chose Data to help him, very wise, Data would definitely give him a true honest answer. So H likes the Slacks and Polos, would love to see those pics LOL. Ah the workout outfit, that's easy, sweatpants and a t-shirt would do just fine. SO what will Ehliena's reaction be to his casual clothes?

Yeah, great wp, Chris. I loved the chapter, as well, Lucy. Horatio had a smart idea in getting Data to help with his 'casual' clothes. It'll be interesting to see what he chooses for his workout clothes with Worf.
Great chapter Lucy.
