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.

Riker is very interested in the whole tale, and it shows. His body language is open and he's leaning forward. He doesn't interrupt to ask questions because he wants to hear the whole tale uncoloured by his own questions. Despite the strange names and places, its easy to pick out the qualities that she possesses and how she reacts in a stressful situation. She is very promising.

"What would you have done if you had been too late to save the girl? Would you have sought revenger?"

"On Idis or on Grethan?" she asked, then gave a small fief-shrug. "Idis had a writ out for his death, by imperial order. Between Severn and Tiamaris, Idis was not my concern, and even if I had gone for him, I would not have been the first to reach him. As for Grethan..."

She shrugged again. "I wanted him behind bars, I wanted him to pay for what he did to her, what had almost happened, I wanted him to face the law. However... He had managed to get into Evanton's without Eventon's assistance, which..."

She shook her head. "Eventon hired him to be his assistant, and that may well be worse than than jail time, in all honestly."

Her lips quirked into a wry smile. She liked the old man, and she was one of the few people he liked, and even she felt the sharp side of his tongue more often than not. Of course... this was the man who knew to hid the keys in his biscuit bin. He knew her. And... he trusted her.
