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.

Steve strains to follow the direction McCoy lines up for him, looking through the throngs for -- got him, man in a hood, turning down the side street.

"I see him," he says, nodding once. He shoots McCoy a reassuring glance. Steve's good at taking orders, but better at doling out his own brand of justice. He'll catch him.

Without another word he pushes ahead, picking the quickest route to where the man disappeared. Which just so happens to take him barreling straight through a fruit stand and over a cart of fabrics, hanging a hard right once he reaches the corner. At least it clears a path for McCoy, now that people are backing up to stare after him.

Sure, it clears a path, but McCoy feels real weird taking it now. Everyone is sort of gawking at the disturbance, parted like Moses himself had barreled on through. Now everyone's looking back at him and all he can do is snap his mouth shut so he doesn't let in any more flies and follow after the two kids.

"You don't need to destroy everythin' just for a damn satchel..." It's certainly important, but so's the poor fruit stand and a man's livelihood. Hopefully this doesn't end with him being kicked off the planet by proxy for this bullhead's brash strike of heroism.
