TEST DRIVE #5 - Low Gravity Gymnasium and Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

Option 01. Ten Forward: The first thing you see is a bar. A large, lively bar filled with many different faces and many different smells, sights and sounds. This is Ten Forward, the Enterprises' off-duty lounge; feel free to get acquainted with your fellow travelers and try to find somebody who's in charge: this is your new home now, after all...



Option 02. Aboard the Enterprise, The Low-Gravity Gymnasium: The gym is a large room with several alcove-like sections housing the aerobics and martial arts areas, a parrises squares area, an anbo-jyutsu court, and a separate fencing room. While there is normally a zero-gravity area as well, today all of the gym is in zero-gravity conditions.

Zero-gravity can be, well, kind of weird, because it's not like a gradual loss of the pressure holding you to the floor--you may have taken the turbolifts, just expecting to take a leisurely run, or maybe work out with a treadmill to get in some cardio, but the minute you step into the gym you're floating, as is anything you might have been holding or bringing with you.

Do you freak out, start flailing and trying to swim through the air back to where you can escape? Do you make the best of it and tough it out to get your exercise in, or do you start having fun with the sudden game of weightlessness? Pick your personal scenario and have fun with all the other weightless people.

At least there wasn't actually in a shuttle. Ezri was sure the sight of Dax throwing up all over the pilots console was the highlight of Benjamin's day. Probably Jake's too.

Giving Julian a green smile, she took his arm, and motioned for him to lead the way. "Lieutenant Barclay?"

"He's a bit of a hypochondriac. Very nice, but nervous man. At any rate, we can't all be model officers with stomachs of steel all the time." Hopefully the turbolifts wouldn't be the last straw. It wasn't a particularly long ride from Ten Forward to Sickbay, but...

"Are the turbolifts going to be alright, or should I call for a medical transport?" Julian asks good-naturedly, teasing a bit.

Ezri gave a laugh at her own expense, hoping the self depricating laughter would qwell the nausea a little. "Don't joke. I threw up all over the pilot's console once. In front of Captain Sisko." It just wouldn't do to call him Benjamin. That was a dead giveaway.

"That was fun. And it sounds like this Mr. Barclay could use a good counselor. Probably one that doesn't get space sick though. Although I'm sure we could bond over our mutual failings."

"I've done loads of embarrassing things in front of Captain Sisko, honestly," Julian says soothingly. If points were being awarded for being a twit in front of one's commanding officer, Julian would surely take home some kind of prize between the Captain and Kira--who may not have been Starfleet, but as second in command, still held rank over him and therefore counted.

"There's no failing involved. As I said, we all have our off days." He guided them into the turbolift, and turned his head up slightly to address the computer. "Sickbay. Please," he adds, shooting an amused look at Ezri.
