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.

Her eyes are a sharp blue, keen and bright. She's gotten good at reading people, given her current line of 'employment', so she responds to any perceived feelings of unease or hesitation with a soft, sweet smile.

"Mine, too. Where I come from, there ain't no fancy space travel jus' yet. We don't even got automobiles."

She doesn't seem to be taking to it as well as K does, however. There's a little tension in her shoulders, and even though she's thinking of space travel as the greatest adventure of her life, it may not have entirely sunk in that she's light-years away from Earth. She's just not the sort of woman who shows her hand that easily, so she plays it off in smiles and laughter and little quips, as best she can.

"A vacation from what, if you don't mind my askin'?"
