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.

"Ooh, a challenge. I like those." Howard grinned and pulled up a chair, glancing at the gauntlet in her hands. Any flirting he was going to do was gone now, instead distracted by the electronics in front of her. He didn't touch, not for lack of wanting too. Instead, he stared at the gauntlet, tilting his head this way and that, trying to get an all over picture of them.

The corners of his lips turned up as he leaned in closer to her. "Hmm, interesting. It's like a regulator of some sorts. See here, this? It means that you can channel the electricity through. I'd bet that that's a pulsor. I've seen HYDRA tech like that on a gun. Some people just don't understand what they have." While he might be right about her gauntlet, it never occurs to her that she might be enhanced like Rogers.

"Where did you get this and where have you been all my life?"

"Oh, babe," she laughs, shaking her head. "I know what it all does, I built it. It is a regulator, and for electricity, but it's not a pulsor. It's a battery and a capacitor on either end; one from me to the battery, one from that to the discharge point."

Notably, if Howard's paying attention, she's left out the part about where the current is coming from. "I dunno about all your life, but I'm from Tokyo and live in New York. Salem, up in Westchester, as boring as I find it. You?"
