TEST DRIVE #6 - The Bridge and Ten Forward

[ten_fwd_mods]

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 Enterprise's 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. The Bridge: Well, aren't you a lucky duck? You've found yourself in hallowed quarters. Wherever you were before, you're not there anymore. Now you're in a room that could be some kind of command center or control room; there's a captain's chair flanked by seats for his chief officers, computer panels and stations at each interior wall, and before you a broad viewscreen that shows the wide expanse of space rushing towards you. Have you ever wanted to be a starship captain for a day? Well, here's your chance. Feel free to roam around, but try not to touch anything shiny.


[OOC: The Bridge isn't usually available for in-game posts, so if you've ever wanted to play there, here's your chance!]

Only fair indeed. "Ah, I'm from London myself. My mother's family is from Sudan and Iran, and rather large, so I spent time there as well, when I was growing up." Not to mention the times they were off-world, but that wasn't incredibly remarkable. He thought, anyway.

He's the picture of an average Starfleet officer, average Human. Nothing suspicious about him at all. Really.

"I'm familiar with the area." You know, having conquered it once. Khan tilts his head, considering, but is otherwise eerily still. "And where did the interest in Augment history come from?"

Hope you didn't think he'd forgotten, Julian. Anyone who professes to have read all of the history texts on Khan is of immediate interest - humanity, he's discovered, rarely likes to be reminded of those years. Odd, considering it was their victory, not his, but he suspected they couldn't bear to be reminded that they'd brought it all on themselves.

Yes, that would be it, wouldn't it. Julian tilts his head in acknowledgement--Africa hadn't been part of his domain, but Iran surely had. He recalls that, of course.

"Curiosity, mainly. Genetic augmentation is banned by Earth law, and I began researching to find out exactly why that was. We were told in school, about the Eugenics Wars--not much, mind, but enough to put a seed there. I continued reading on my own up until I went to the Academy and Starfleet Medical." A grain of truth, without exactly going into the deeper whys. He could even say that gene therapy was something of a specialty of his, but that would be giving a bit much away, he thought.
