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.

Artemis was wishing he knew a lot more about L.A. than he did currently. His only visit to the city had been over three, no six, years ago and it hadn't been to see the tourist attractions. He was drawing a blank here and he didn't like it. And he certainly didn't like how this was happening more and more in his life.

"Oh? And which mountains would those be?" He finally replied. Perhaps he'll have heard of the range from his geography studies.

Pearl couldn't help but notice the pause before Artemis spoke. Was she making him uncomfortable somehow? She couldn't think how, aside from their current situation, but it still puzzled her.

"The San Gabriel mountains," she replied nonetheless. "Have you heard of them?"

Artemis had to pause again. The San Gabriel mountains weren't a place that came immediately to mind but the name had flashed up during his quick search before finding Mulch. So while the name itself was vaguely familiar, he knew nothing of them except what the name suggested.

He nodded slowly, wanting more answers but not finding the questions to ask. He blamed the circumstances before his arrival here for that fact.

"Does it take long to travel between your village and Los Angeles?" He finally asked, annoyed at himself for taking so long to ask the question in the first place.
pearltergeist: (then I'd be your harmony)

"Oh, it's around two hours away by public transport. I have to take a bus and a train if I want to visit my friends in the city," she explained. "I suppose that must seem like quite a while away for someone from Europe, wouldn't it?"
