TEST DRIVE #15 - Holodeck and Ten Forward

[ten_fwd_mods]

001: Where were you a minute ago? Well, you aren't there anymore. Instead, you're standing in a very large, dark room lined with yellow. There are doors at either end of it.

Here's where things get a little choose your own adventure-y. You could:



1: Approach a console filled with buttons, located a few feet away. Press one, and it'll let you out of the room. Travel down a long hallway and you'll be in Ten Forward, the Enterprises' entertainment lounge. Have a drink, mingle and try to figure out why you're here.

OR

2: Maybe you just muttered some vague request under your breath. Maybe you wished aloud you were somewhere else. Or for help? If you did, might be in a fire station. Muttered something about killing whoever dumped you here? Surprise - you're in a slasher movie!

Though they're confusing, these visions feel about as real as they can be. And guess what - other people can experience those fantasies with you, as if they too were really there. How ever will you escape? Or do you want to?

[OOC: Welcome to the Holodeck! If you choose this option, whatever your character chooses to say out loud will cause a virtual reality program to load and play. While your character feels as if what they're experiencing and seeing is quite real, they're purely living through the latest and best in what he Enterprise has to offer in entertainment. Make sure to detail what your character's fantasy is, so that those threading with them will know how to react.

Open til next month's test drive!]

"Some, yes. Information can be viewed on some of the terminals..." Which has turned out to be quite handy and given Padmé something to occupy her mind with. "The starship is called the Enterprise- although it has some other classification with it."

In truth, that hadn't really stuck in her mind. "And it is manned by a crew who are part of The United Federation of Planets."

[diplomaticsolutions]

Just how far would her beloved Republic fall? Perhaps far... although hope is not lost. Things do change, but sometimes they can change again. "I've only read a little so far, although it seems to hold a variety of different planets with different species. But, more like the latter."

[diplomaticsolutions]

"Some have spoken of conflicts that they have had in the past." Although past is the key term there. She can't really speak, having only been aboard a short time. "Their history is accessible, although they also hold by something called the Prime Directive."

[diplomaticsolutions]

"It's like a code..." She still has a copy of it back in her guest quarters that she shares with Jadzia. "It's a guide as to the principles of the Federation. I suppose simply put, noninterference with other cultures and civilizations, especially those who are not spacefaring."

Of course it seems that Q doesn't follow this at all.

[diplomaticsolutions]

Her lips purse slightly, as the sting is still there. A man she had respected so much... Yet dwelling on that would accomplish little.

"On this ship. I've heard that they do dock at places, and you can visit? But the people onboard do handle the situation quite well, especially considering they have no say in who suddenly appears aboard their vessel."

[diplomaticsolutions]

There is that soft nod of her head. Padmé has always been one to believe that working together, people could accomplish more. It had worked with the invasion of Naboo after all. "We are a minority though... They do a medical check to ensure that they protect you and others on the ship. The man who looked me over... He was not aware of any other who- who had passed."

[diplomaticsolutions]

It is funny how some words can have just such an impact, although Padmé knows that. How many speeches has she given, letting the words flow from her heart. "... thank you, Master Yoda."
