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.

"Excuse me?" a small violently red haired little girl in a pink princess dress with fake blood on it tugs on Q's shirt, trying to get his attention.

With her other hand she's holding a fuzzy and fat grey kitten that stares up at the Q with that befuddled look all kittens have.

"Can I have your glass when you're done with it?"

She holds up the kitten.

"He needs a snack."

"You are aware that there are replicators, right?"

People have been using them all the time he's been here. Their operation is pretty simple.

"Nope! I don't even know what those are." Ceilidh is cheerful oblivious to a lot of things. There were more interesting things to do than pay attention what other people are saying.

Like ... being in SPACE!!!!

"But he's hungry and I don't have any screws or nails on hand that I can feed him and I don't think it's a good idea for him to eat the chairs or the tables because people get mad when he does that but it should be okay for him to eat used dishes right?"

She'll take a breath shortly.

"I'm sorry, but I don't look remotely like bar staff, do I? Humanoids get attracted to their possessions, you're better off asking someone in charge, as it were."

As hilarious the notion of one of these beings being in charge of something was.

She rolls her eyes. "That's why I aaassssssskkkkkkked you instead of just letting Mayhem eat it. And I don't know what bar staff look like. Everyone looks all sorts of different here so you could look like bar staff and momma says I shouldn't even be in bars yet anyway but I found myself here and I don't know why and that won't end up well for anyone because when my family finds out I've been kidnapped they'll come here and kill everyone who did so."

Really. She'll breath eventually.

"But it's really kinda cool because I'm in SPAAAACEEEE!!! And space is really cool because there are all sorts of aliens and guns and I want a SPAAACEEE GUNNN because those shoot lasers. And lasers are AWWEEEESOOOME. Especially when they make someone burn up and turn into ashes and they die SCREAAAMIIINGG!!!"

The kitten vanishes from her grasp and appears on the bar next to her to inspect a salt shaker. Which he the proceeds to eat. Salt, metal and glass.

"Well, you don't look Klingon, you vindictive little thing." A sigh. "Excuse me, I don't have time to babysit."

And he just winks out of sight. Let the Starfleet goons handle her.
