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!]

"Cridhe. Very well, if you wish."

"And both, I suppose. I did not think such power could be contained in any body of flesh and blood...I am supremely impressed, on that score."

[cridhe]

"Oh, that. It is complicated."

And spoilers. Humm, how can she explain?

"My flesh is modelled after the idea of fully programmable matter. My Huon particles hold its form. As to blood, well I do not know."

But she can show him something interesting. She offers her wrist. "Take my pulse and then rest your hand over my heart."

She only has one heart, but if he takes her pulse he should be able to feel that she has a double pulse - indicative of a bi-vascular system.

[of_totters_lane]

He's never failed to listen to her when possible before, and he doesn't hesitate now. He steps closer, gently obeying her instructions, closing his eyes.

"Fascinating, absolutely fascinating!" he said, looking up at her.

"Bi-vascular system with a single heart. Amazing indeed, and thoroughly impossible - as well any form you took ought to be, I suppose!"

[cridhe]

She might blush just a little. "I became distracted during the - assembly process. I could not decide which you would prefer: Time Lord or Human."

It wasn't until after that she learned she had nothing to worry about, but still. The things she thinks about with regards to her Pilot.

[of_totters_lane]

"Goodness me! You could have chosen any form you wished, I would have been pleased just to see you!"

He smiled, and patted her arm.

"But I understand the sentiment. Were our positions reversed, I would want to look my best."

[cridhe]

She leans her head against his upper arm as the walk. Just revelling in his presence.

"I've missed you."

It's been far too long. And while she could say that to any version of her Pilot, it is somehow especially true of the original article. The one who rescued her and let her save him. What a pair they make.

[of_totters_lane]

"And I you, though I suppose I've never met you - truly met you - before. Feeling a loss before the cause. Practically normal for us, wouldn't you say?"

[cridhe]

"And yet, even from the moment you whisked me away, you knew me better than anyone."

No need to feel lost, Dear Doctor. Though, she's forgotten what hard work he was when he was so young.
