TEST DRIVE MEME #4 - The Arboretum/Ten Forward



Option 01: Aboard the Enterprise, The Arboretum: In exploring the Enterprise, you end up on Deck 17, section 21 alpha: the arboretum. Instantly upon entering you can tell this room is different from all the others. For one thing, you're now standing on grass. It's no illusion, no simulation; it's real grass, leading up to a small pond in the center of the room. All around you grows a variety of plant life, trees and bushes and hanging plants, flowers and herbs and even what one might consider weeds. The arboretum is, for all intents and purposes, a botanic garden, used both recreationally for passengers to relax and enjoy, and scientifically for research and study. After all, the scope of alien plant life is impressive, from the Cyprion cacti down to the Earth variety roses.

The room is well lit and large, with benches to rest on and small walking paths. Children are grouped off in one corner working on botany projects, while some passengers are seen kneeling in the dirt carefully tending to their garden patches. There are even windows along one wall, allowing for a view of space while the room itself gives the illusion of daylight. It's the perfect spot to relax, read a book, or grab a spare spade and dig in the dirt. Or perhaps you've been looking for the right moment to say hello to the passenger standing off by the venus flytraps.





Option 02: Aboard the Enterprise, Ten Forward: Or maybe not. You've just arrived, and you have no idea what just happened. One minute you were somewhere else, and now you're in what looks like a spacious, well-appointed bar. The hum of the crowd is inviting, and the drinks look invigorating. There are people eating and drinking, some in uniform, others not. Some are clearly aliens.

Try to find out why you're here, or catch a drink at the bar; there's always something happening here.

Bigby was more prone to bouts of melancholy than he would ever let on, and he was content to let most assume it was simply grumpiness. Everything had been coming to a head, years of loneliness, centuries of loneliness. Now, this. The universe really liked to deal him a fucked up hand, Bigby thought to himself with some self-pitying. He sighed and took a gulp of the whiskey, finishing off the short glass.

He immediately began berating himself. Here she was talking about kids dying and all these other people suffering, and Bigby was thinking only of himself. He gave a small snort through his nose and shook his head. "I'll be right behind you on that. Save a good spot on his face for me, pup."

Marion was getting used to her lone wolf routine. She hadn't stayed in one place for more than six months ever since she found out about what had happened to her that lonely night at the rest stop. She just wasn't really comfortable settling down in one area.

She blinks at being called pup then lets out a short laugh. "Sure thing, old man," she teases lightly.

"I'm sure there'll be plenty of him to go around."
