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.

She won't comment on the violence.... Not that she's opposed to it, but that just sounded a little too enthusiastic.

"I've dealt with him once." She grimaces, irritated by thinking back on it. "It wasn't any less annoying then. But this... This is a new low. Even for Q."

"So he is always this much of a troll," Nori says. "Because somehow I get the feeling he doesn't actually care what happens to those of us he's tossing around like especially squishy marbles."

"You're right about that. All he cares about is how entertaining people are for him. Which means asking him nicely to send us home is probably not an option." She says with a small shrug. She's trying her hardest not to be immensely pissed off, since it's not actually going to help in this situation.

"I'm Kira, by the way."

"Fabulous, I know people like that," she says with a tiny eye-roll.

"Noriko. I'd say it's nice to meet you, but...well. I'm sure we'd both rather not be on this boat right now." Nori sure as hell would rather be somewhere else. Like Earth. Her earth, in case Tweedle Dee is inclined to pull more tricks out of his hat.
