TEST DRIVE #10 - Cetacean Pool and Ten Forward

[tenforward_m]

#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.

"I guess. This is the first bar I've ever been in." He doesn't have much of a frame of reference, though. He's never been in a bar--his mother likes to have a drink, sometimes, but they generally don't leave the house, and with the attacks...well, he's pretty sure everyone's priorities lie elsewhere. "There's a lot of people in here, that's for sure. Most of them are part of the crew, I think."

"Oh," he says. "Well, they're not bad places to go to if you don't mind a crowd." Not that he's really comfortable in places like that. He likes a quiet dinner or a movie. Though that quiet dinner is really only something he gets when he's not with his family for it.

You can't separate loud from his family. It's impossible. Especially not with his brother Larry.

"Yeah, I can hear that. Sounds like a crowded night at this place I like to visit."
