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.

He's just going to keep staring at Spidey, giving a silent indication to keep talking.

"Uh - he seems like a decent guy, Picard. Says he's trying his best to get us all back to where we came from, since it wasn't his intention to have us all here anyway."
He sighs, rolling his shoulders.
"Yeah, so the one you want to get your blasty gun thing on is called 'Q'. He's an alien from a race also called 'Q' because apparently his people lack imagination in the nomenclature department.
"I've never met the guy personally, which is probably better for him, but he's got the ability to transport people from any point in time and space.
"Hence - this." A quick hand-sweep between himself and Quill.

"Well, why didn't ya just say so in the first place?"
no subject
Spidey rolls his eyes behind his mask, letting out a sigh too - and a shake of his head.
Need he remind Quill of the blaster-gun still webbed to the far wall?
no subject
He's just going to walk on over to retrieve his Quad Blaster, tyvm.
no subject
He crosses his arms.
"Because this is definitely a first for me."

Spidey isn't particularly impressed with this guy's PR skills, but he'll admit that he could be useful in a fight.
"Uh - that stuff'll start to dissolve in a couple hours."
no subject
Obviously.
