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!]

"Confused? A little." [Shadow looked the human over quickly. Not a clear member of Starfleet, though perhaps he was an ambassador or something of the sort.] "Can you tell me which ship I am on?"

[conflictedhero]

Bruce nodded. That was one of the four questions always asked first. he smoothly began to explain. he'd done this a lot.

"Yes. You're on the U.S.S. Enterprise, the fifth of it's name, commission code NCC 1701-D, under Captain Picard. And likely, you've just been dropped on board by Q, a cosmic game player who has been doing this for over a year. I'm Doctor Bruce Banner, also shanghaied here, from another universe's Earth."

[notmyhairball]

Shadow nodded, crossing her arms over her chest. "We have heard of Q on my ship..." She sighed again, her tail starting to twitch again in frustration. "Never thought that he would pull someone from my ship, though."

Mostly because of what other Federation crews call the Bonaventure...

[conflictedhero]

"He seems to enjoy messing with people, and doing his best to both entertain himself and annoy us." he chuckled.

"Most of us find it highly annoying and have taken to waiting and watching, and hoping for a chance to explain to him just how much... good will he has built up."

He shook his head. "Captain Picard has done his best to make us comfortable here and many Starfleet officers brought through like you have eventually become members of his crew."

[notmyhairball]

"Good will. Good way to put it," she replies dryly. Scratching under her chin for a moment, Shadow held her other hand out to Bruce. "Lieutenant Shadow Stalker of Ennien, chief Security officer of the USS Bonaventure, NCC 1845."

[conflictedhero]

"Thanks. I've been practicing." And yes, he has. Bruce and people, well, it's a work in progress.

Bruce met her hand, unafraid, but with healthy respect for her possible strength and claws. he smiled to her, a closed-lip smile.

"A pleasure to meet you. call me Bruce, please, or Banner, or Doctor Banner, whichever makes you more comfortable." He made a note of her ship and classification, to look it up, later.

"If you don't mind sharing, when exactly are you from?"

[notmyhairball]

"That depends, what is the current stardate?"

[conflictedhero]

"Ah... I'm not sure. hang on. I'm still used to the old Earth Roman-Gregorian modified calendar." He picked up his PADD and tapped it, then nodded. "It's Stardate 54884.460." he nodded as he put it down again. "I created an easy converter to remind myself until i memorize how to do it."
