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.

Antagonizing Nietzcheans is a sport that Harper ranks quite highly in. If not at the number one spot. He'd kept himself alive this long and he wasn't planning on stopping now.

"I'm not getting you another drink." Look who's back Rhade. Harper is here to help. Though the definition of help may be a little questionable in itself. "I don't think you should be having any more."

If antagonizing Nietzscheans was a sport, Harper was a gold medalist. He had lots of practice, including harassing this particular Nietzschean. He was just a few years shy of that practice. But it was pretty equal opportunity, right? Insult one Nietzschean, insult them all?

"Dammit Harper I want that bottle. And the pretty ladies who were combing my hair a few minutes ago." Thank goodness Harper also had adequate survival skills, and that Rhade was quite drunk and couldn't go after the engineer if he tried. Really hard.
