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.

"Julian?"

Relief doesn't quite flood the Colonel when she sees him. Sure, it's good to see him, and it's a Hell of a lot better than being alone in the wrong time and place, but... From his tone, it doesn't sound like he's got the answers she wants to hear.

Not that it's going to stop her from asking.

"Where are we?" She asks, moving closer so as to lower her voice. "What ship is this, and how did we get here?"

He's got a few, anyway. He's not exactly being very cautious, because there's more than a few people here in the same situation. He's been careful not to give any information about their timeframe, of course, but where they are and how the got here is something everyone knows.

"We're on the Enterprise. Q is interfering and bringing people here from different timeframes and realities, I'm afraid as ever only he knows why he's doing it or when he'll stop--much less send any of us back. I've been here for a few weeks now."
