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.

"I think you're meant to pay for that," Amy singsongs.

She comes up next to the booth and leans against it, folding her arms and crossing her ankles.

Busted.

He starts away from the booth, whistling innocently. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, that's nice," she says, rolling her eyes.

Amateur.

"You're goin' to have to do better than that if you want to convince anybody. You look guilty," she says.

"No, but I am," Kennex says, seeming to materialize out of thin air.

He might be dressed in civilian clothing right now, having left his police vest back on the ship, but he's got the badge and the 'no nonsense' face with him as he's staring this kid down.

"And you're going to want to put that back unless you can pay for it."

"Eh?"

Note the look of panic on JK's face. Behind him, a meddling goody two-shoes. In front of him, the coppers.

He dashes to one side, knocking over a booth in his hurry to flee.

Goody two-shoes? Oi, it's a good thing he didn't say that out loud!

Still, Amy has to applaud him for having the knackers to run away. Even if he doesn't get too far.

She arches an eyebrow at the alleged policeman.

(He's fit, isn't he?)

"Aren't you going to apprehend him?" she asks.

Or does she have to do everything?
