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.

HIRO-MUN HAS GONE TO THE WORLD OF DREAMS and will tag more later c:
So maybe Akito was pretty bored and also pretty curious about things when he was confined to bed rest. And physics really clicked with him the most - right after biology. With nothing else to do trying to teach himself knowledge he might have lost seemed like the best idea. "And I'm pretty sure it's more like space-time continuum than, um, Many Worlds interpretation? Since there are people here from the same worlds but different times within them. But then there are a lot of people from Earth, but from different versions of it... It's definitely like... Different worlds running parallel to each other. Super similar but not exactly the same? And then this Q guy can just pluck someone out of their strand of the universe and dump them into this one..."
Quantum physics is too weird. He rubs at his temples absently; a habit he's picked up from the chronic headaches he gets since waking. "I only read up on this stuff a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not an expert on it or anything, but obviously it's all at least plausible since we're here. In outer space? On a space ship with all kinds of weird stuff that I'm pretty sure doesn't follow the laws of conservation of mass."
It's frustrating. It's not something he thinks about often - in fact, he often tries not to think about it - but when he does it just feels like he's bashing his head against a brick wall. Akito lets out a frustrated exhalation as he brings his hand back down to stuff in his pocket, though he stiffens as he hears the tell-tale sound of water freezing over.
Oh, crap. Are the tanks temperature sensitive? He has absolutely no idea. And would rather not stick around to see if he gets in trouble for turning a good chunk of the water near the glass into ice. Akito's first instinct is to grab the other boy by his hand, which he does ("Just... Come with me and I'll show you!"), and then tug him out of the labyrinth of marine creatures until they exit into a more relatively-normal hallway.
Akito finds the nearest window and gestures for Hiro to take a look out of it.
"Space ship," he intones. Now much less anxious than he was when dragging them into the great, wonderful world of not-aquarium-ness. "And... Ah, actually before you get full access to the rest of the ship you've got to stop by the sickbay. They scan you for health issues, then will generally give you a hypospray - it's like a needle, but uses vaccines with a small enough molecular weight and size that it can be injected into your blood stream through your clothes via air pressure. It's like a pinch and then you're done! And protected against any strange space diseases that um, aliens... Might have that are transmissible."
