TEST DRIVE #1 - Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

You know how you were standing there, back in your home world, just minding your own business?

Time to forget all about that.

Instead of doing whatever the heck you were just doing, you're standing in the middle of this very stylish, sedate barroom. Happily, you're not alone there - in fact you're surrounded by people who seem to be as confused as you are...and some of them look a little, well unusual

Now would be a great time to do....well, something. Ask some questions of the person nearest you, throw a fit, stage a coup....maybe do a little exploring? No matter what you do, you're going to be here for a very long time.

For others might call it the USS Enterprise, but for the foreseeable future, you'll be calling it home.

[OOC: this test drive's open until the next app period.]

It seems a strange place to have a welcome center, but if your people come aboard by being transported in... well, that probably changes architectural requirements. No entrances, just exits.

Or maybe it's where everyone takes their meals? There don't seem to be that many people aboard, if that's the case. Or it's an off time. He has no idea how time works here.

"What kind of feelings?"

She recognizes his clothes, his mannerisms, even the shapes and sounds his words make. He's from a time when, if you weren't too careful, you could find yourself strung up for talking about anything remotely resembling magic.

Granted, he has just been pulled onto a ship traveling through outer space, but Guinan is trying to be gentle with him.

"Think of it as a mother's intuition. Sometimes I can sense danger, and when it comes to your daughter, I believe she's safe."

She retrieves a bottle from behind the bar. He might recognize the amber color as being a good bourbon whiskey.

"Would a drink calm your nerves?"
