TEST DRIVE #10 - Cetacean Pool and Ten Forward

#1


Option 001. Cetacean Pool/Aquatics Lab: Of all the places in the world, you open your eyes and you find yourself in a medium-sized aquatics laboratory, filled with various living specimens along with various science officers bustling about trying to maintain order. There's much to explore here (and hopefully, in the crew's opinion, not break), but the main attraction is the large pool at the far end of the lab; enormous but tanklike in appearance, it contains several dolphins happily swimming about, seemingly without a care in the world.

Option 002. Aboard the Enterprise, Ten Forward: You have no idea what just happened. One minute you were home, and now you're on a spaceship, in the middle of a crowded room. It looks like a bar. There are people eating and drinking, some in uniform, others not. Some are clearly aliens.

You've managed to land in Ten Forward a long bar with barstools and a bartender, tables sprinkled throughout, and the far wall is nothing but windows out to space. It looks like a nice lounge, low conversation making the room hum.

Better ask some questions and find out where you are, or just tap the closest person on the shoulder and try to make friends. The bar is open.

"Fairly regularly. Monthly, it would seem. He does send someone home on occasion, or at least that is my understanding." So that's something.

"How long have you been here?"

With time travel, this Q could probably send them back a few seconds after they disappeared.

"A few weeks. I haven't quite adjusted to the change in location yet." Not just because of being in space. Also because of all of the strange technology. It's even fancier than what he's seen in Storybrooke.
contocricket: (Considering)

Sorry for the delay.

"I can see why. This is an even bigger jump from the Enchanted Forest," Archie said.

"I can't even figure out how to use a talking phone yet. These devices they have here are even stranger."
contocricket: (The good doctor)

"I almost hate to ask what they do have here."

Because guaranteed he was going to be just as lost.

"I've barely mastered texting back home."

It was a weak joke...even if it was true. A million apps for his cellphone, and he only used it to call people and text.

"I don't even know how to do that." He pushes the Emma button and she (sometimes) answers. That's the extent of his knowledge.

"There are these things called replicators. I have no idea how they work, but they provide food and apparently even clothing."

It looks too much like magic to make him entirely comfortable.
contocricket: (Wait what?)

"Do you have to put something in first? Like ingredients or cloth...?"

oops

"You do not. You just tell it what you want, and it produces it." Just like magic.
contocricket: (Pensive)

It's all good.

"That's...unsettling."

Because magic came at a price sooner or later.

"It is, but it doesn't seem to bother those in charge on this ship." He just doesn't want to be the one who ends up having to pay that price.
