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.

my turn to apologize ... pokey
He sighed, letting go of Steve's hand. "Had a sample of your blood left. Wanted to use it for good. I was the lead scientist on your experiment. They took samples of your blood, I got one. I... It was your blood, Steve. It held all the answers. Vaccines. Healing people. The common cold. I couldn't let the SSR get it. They would never give it back." Howard sighed, finishing his drink and strongly wanting another one. "They took your samples and ruined them trying to make more of Erskine's serum, but they couldn't do it. And I refused to help them. They would want a super soldier, not someone like you. Remember they didn't want you, Erskine did."
Shaking his head, he looked up at Steve. "I didn't tell Peggy about the blood. Should have. I should have trusted her more. I wanted to protect her. She loved you, her emotions were too close. And she was SSR. I... I didn't know. So, I lied. And she didn't find out about your blood from me. Bad form."
Turning away from Steve, he stared out at the open blackness beside them. "Can't prove I'm not crazy, Steve. A bit of me is just that. Mad scientist with illusions of grandeur, wanting to be something better. Something like you. I just don't have your moral compass. So, yeah, I want to know about the booze. And the lab. All the money and influence I had don't mean shit here."
Howard normally didn't feel this wordy. Gazing down at the glass, he frowned. "Damn leaky glasses."
