TEST DRIVE #3 - Alien Bazaar/Ten Forward

#1


Option 001. Alien planet, marketplace: So you're new to this whole space travel thing. The ship is cool and all, but there are hundreds of alien worlds out there. You want to explore. To see what the universe REALLY looks like.

Well, here's your chance! Your first stop is this lovely indoor marketplace, which looks kind of like a mall. There are stalls one after the other as far as the eye can see, and they sell all kinds of things: food, clothes, trinkets, animals, fabrics, jewelry, perfumes, books, etc etc. Some things look human, easy to recognize; other things look very alien. There are two levels, and constant chatter as people hawk their wares and discuss prices.

Do you want to explore? Poke at the weird shops? Buy a gift for a new friend? Flirt with someone at the food court? Maybe you see a pickpocket, and must run to the aid of the victim. Maybe there's some other villainy afoot. After all, a crowded marketplace is a good place for villains to lurk, causing trouble. Whether you're a hero or just an unassuming traveler, there proves to be some adventure for you on this planet.

Option 002. Aboard the Enterprise, Ten Forward: You have no idea what just happened. One minute you were home, and now you're on a spaceship, in the middle of a crowded room. It looks like a bar. There are people eating and drinking, some in uniform, others not. Some are clearly aliens.

You've managed to land in Ten Forward a long bar with barstools and a bartender, tables sprinkled throughout, and the far wall is nothing but windows out to space. It looks like a nice lounge, low conversation making the room hum.

Better ask some questions and find out where you are, or just tap the closest person on the shoulder and try to make friends. The bar is open.

That is an incredible collection of titles, one of the longest Dylan has ever heard, and when it comes to overblown and pretentious titles, he's heard rather a lot of them over the past year and plenty in his career before that. An overblown title attached to a person who seems incapable of having earned it is sometimes a warning sign, but Dylan shows no hint of amusement, disbelief, or judgment; if he were asked to guess, he'd suggest that it feels to him that Nerevar Redoran could well have earned the right to be called champion, sword, protector, knight, and all the other things in his complete list of titles.

Commonwealth Captain and Commander of the Andromeda Ascendant will do just fine for Dylan.

Dylan dips his head in return for Nerevar Redoran's bow, and his smile is apologetic.

"I would definitely have remembered that. Just how does one kill a god?"

Dylan just has the Spirit of the Abyss to deal with, and that's more than enough. Not that the Abyss has a house to go to.

The titles seemed to come tumbling from the heavens once the ur-Dagoth fell. Killing the devil does a lot to advance your career prospects, if ever you can manage it.

"Carefully, and with a lot of help," Nerevar says. "There was much work that needed to be done to make it possible, but to shorten a long story, I tore his Heart from him."

Well, he liked to think it was his Heart. But it belonged to the world. For one was made to satisfy the other.

"The god was Dagoth Ur, if you've heard the name. The Devil Under Red Mountain."

"That I'll believe," is Dylan's dry response. Careful planning and the aid of as many allies as possible are the only ways that he can see to destroy the Abyss, if that's what it is they need to do. As if trillions of Magog weren't enough of a threat, there was their creepy as hell supposed god to deal with, too, as well as the hints that this is all part of some grander plan on the Abyss' part.

And facing that, Dylan and his crew. One captain, one ship, and the less than fifty worlds they've managed to pull together into an alliance.

"I don't know the name," he admits. "I ... suspect that your world and mine are rather different."

"'Your world and mine...'"

Nerevar frowns.

"Well. It is possible that the old Imperial colony on Masser was more than a rumor. But that's not what you mean, is it?"
