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.

"Most people haven't," Tony replies smoothly. "Then again, most people just think it looks funny. They don't tend to comment on the electrical properties. Quid pro quo, Blue--it's a miniaturized arc reactor, keeping my heart free of shrapnel. So what are you?"

"It's one of those glass-half-full things," she says with a shrug. She's used to people being concerned about the topics she chooses to comment on.

"To answer your question though, I'm electrokinetic; in layman's terms, a mutant. I can absorb, channel, and manipulate electricity. And I do not think that looks funny--it looks brilliant. Did you do it yourself?" She can't imagine there's a huge market for optional electromagnets implanted into one's chest.
