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.

Things are always interesting in Ten Forward, especially with the new arrivals. Riker never knows what he is going to expect, and he enjoys it, consequently he's spending more of his free time in the bar. When he steps into the bar today, it looks like more people are interested in the ceiling that they are in the their drinks. He folds his arms comfortably above his chest and follows their eyeline to see what is so interesting.

His eyebrows shoot up towards his hairline as he spots a decent miniature of his ship. It's making good progress around the room and it corners pretty well. He becomes aware of a guy talking himself through the manoeuvres and listens in.

"You must be a pilot yourself."

Alex's face was still flushed, but he nodded, grinning. "Yes, sir. Not of anything so grand as the Enterprise, but still, yes. And I've been studying."

He eyed the officer, wondering if the man had been around when Alex had been revived. He had been foggy for days, and slowly come out of it. By then, far fewer people than the group he hazily remembered being around had been there in the Sickbay. "Alex Rogan sir. Former Starfighter pilot."

The rank pins marked this man as a Commander, and that meant he was one of few on the ship. "Do you do any piloting, sir?"
