ten_fwd_ooc | TEST DRIVE #2 - The Holodeck/Ten Forward

Where were you a minute ago? Well, you aren't there anymore. Instead, you're standing in a very large, dark room lined with yellow. There are doors at either end of it.

Here's where things get a little choose your own adventure-y. You could:

1: Approach a console filled with buttons, located a few feet away. Press one, and it'll let you out of the room. Travel down a long hallway and you'll be in Ten Forward, the Enterprises' entertainment lounge. Have a drink, mingle and try to figure out why you're here.

OR

2: Maybe you just muttered some vague request under your breath. Maybe you wished aloud you were somewhere else. Or for help? If you did, might be in a fire station. Muttered something about killing whoever dumped you here? Surprise - you're in a slasher movie!

Though they're confusing, these visions feel about as real as they can be. And guess what - other people can experience those fantasies with you, as if they too were really there. How ever will you escape? Or do you want to?

[OOC: Welcome to the Holodeck! If you choose this option, whatever your character chooses to say out loud will cause a virtual reality program to load and play. While your character feels as if what they're experiencing and seeing is quite real, they're purely living through the latest and best in what he Enterprise has to offer in entertainment. Make sure to detail what your character's fantasy is, so that those threading with them will know how to react.

Open til next month's test drive!]

The effusive pleasantries from Dukat caused her to raise an eyebrow and her mouth quirked up in a little smirk. "My, my, I never thought I'd see the day when Dukat would be comfortably enjoying a drink aboard a Federation vessel. Pardon me if I don't get up. I need to make sure that's more and more worth it as the months go on." She punctuated her statement with a sip of her water.

"But no thank you, the water hits the spot for now."

"I wouldn't dream of asking you to get up on my account -- a lady in your condition should be relaxing. I could ask a security guard to find you a pillow--they seem to insist on following me everywhere. It's makes me feel quite unwelcome, actually." The Cardassian gave the two security officers trailing him a glare.

"Why don't you two of you make yourselves useful and find her a pillow and some ice for her water." Honestly, they were looking at him as if he was going to steal away Federation secrets. As if there was something on this ship Central Command didn't know already. Amateurs.

"Considering you could just as easily be in the brig, I think you ought to consider yourself fortunate." Her troublesome humor was a bit harder to keep under wraps lately. Perhaps hormones were having their way with her. But what Dukat did with his escorts was none of her concern. She expected Worf would have put his best people on a visitor such as this.

"I never expected a routine trip such as mine to end up quite this interesting." She gestured lightly toward the lounge full of people that obviously didn't belong here.

"Considering how tenuous the peace talks are going, they wouldn't dare. That is unless the Federation isn't as devoted to peace as you all keep telling me." He shrugged his shoulders and opened his arms a bit.

"I'm sure we can all come to a mutual understanding, while this situation is sorted out. That is, unless, you all wish me to inform Central Command the Federation has taken me hostage and refuses to let me leave."

"But that would set up such a neat little void for the Klingon Empire to pick up where Cardassia left off," she added. Though they both knew that even as things were in the Klingon High Council, they would never be so foolish as to attempt to shake off the Federation for something such as that.

"No, Picard is not so foolish as that," she answered. "Though, I'm curious. Did you come here on your own or were you brought here like the rest of our unexpected guests?"

"Far be it from me to keep your curiosity unfulfilled. I was brought here rather unwillingly. This isn't exactly my idea of a vacation spot, and I do have work to do. Bajor and Terok Nor won't run themselves, now will they? I can only do so much from here--although an encrypted comm line to Bajor would do wonders for the peace talks and earn the Federation some good will."

He took a sip of Kanar. Not bad, especially considering it was free and he didn't have to get it from Quark. Although he did miss having it poured by his servants.

She chuckled a bit that he would actually expect that to be reasonable. Of course he would. Dukat didn't often have his way refused. "That does make things rather interesting for the talks. If I didn't know any better it was as if whoever brought you here was trying to interfere."

In Dukat's head---and of course in the Cardassian Union, he was a rather important individual. He was the face of the Occupation of Bajor, that which would revitalize Cardassia and replenish waning supplies. It was too bad it wouldn't last though, and with the upcoming end of the Occupation, Dukat's career would suffer. As if it was his fault the Occupation didn't last. He wasn't the one retreating.

"It does seem that way. But I can only hope that both the Federation and Cardassia know enough not to be baited. And it is a translucent baiting at best." A Cardassian school child could do better.

"Indeed it is. Well, all I can say is that I wish a peaceful and prosperous resolution for all." She raised her glass a bit to him.

"How do you find the Enterprise? Other than crowded."
