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.

"Q. Yes, that would explain it."
no subject
There's a little burst of energy blossoming in his gut as he sits up straighter, fully interested now. Maybe he's actually about to get some damn answers around here. Maybe he can finally figure out a way to get back home.
(Who knew he'd actually want to go back there?)
"You know this 'Q'?"
no subject
He sighs, this is just a massive simulated headache.
"Q is a being that exists in another dimension known as the Q Continuum. All of his species are called Q, as well as the species themselves. They are incredibly arrogant, and hold control over our dimensional plane."
no subject
John Kennex does not look pleased. That little burst of energy fizzles out and becomes something more akin to the ol' familiar feeling of simmering anger.
He looks about as pleased as the guy before him.
"So how'd the Voyager deal with the Q before? What are we talking about here as far as getting off this ship is concerned?"
no subject
He sighs, folding his arms.
"Usually, Q's tricks only last as long as he decides, or if the target manages to persuade him otherwise. His jokes are incredibly purile."
Such as interrupting Ship Operations to woo Captain Janeway.
no subject
"All right, doc," Kennex starts, "you're not telling me there's no way to stop this troll, are you?"
Because that's not an answer he's willing to accept. It's never one he's willing to accept, but he's been put through quite the ordeal today and doing something about it will at least make him feel ... less useless.
"What's the point of it?"
This can't be just a joke. It's got to be more than that.
no subject
The Doctor rubs his brow, heaving, yet another, sigh. "Believe me, I'm as frustrated about this as you are. I was about to deliver a baby."
no subject
Kennex was just heading home before he was beamed here like this was a VR-game. It's not the same, even if it is equally irritating.
"So what do we do? How long did his 'tricks' last the last time?"
