[Ten Forward] Release from Quarantine and Rooming Assignments

[ten_fwd_npcs]

Lieutenant Worf has gathered all of the new "guests" together in Ten Forward to instruct them on correct behavior and protocols now that they have been released from quarantine. He looks as happy and approachable as you might expect, which is to say he doesn't. It is his duty, and the captain's instructions, and so he will handle this riffraff the honorable way.

"The computer will instruct you on where all cleared-for-access decks are. You only have to ask where the area you are trying to get to is located, and it will give you clear directions. Do not visit any restricted areas. The bridge, engine rooms, transporter rooms, and all command centers are off-limits."

This is chased by a stern look to all the gathered guests.

"With that in mind, there are a few rules you must obey before I give you your new assignments. One, do not discharge any weapon while on the Enterprise. Two, do not assault any other passenger aboard in any way; that includes injury, death, or violating their personal rights. Three, do not tamper with the operational procedures of the ship. Four, do not steal items or technology from the ship. Five, do not interrupt any official areas of the ship without proper authorization, and do not invade the privacy of other guest or crew quarters.

"Copies of the Prime Directive will be made available to all of you, and placed in each room. As you are not Starfleet officers, you are not obligated to abide by this rule; however, it is important you understand why we do."

He takes a deep breath. Unless they show themselves to be undisciplined or unruly, it is the most he can do.

"Now, the rooms," he rumbles, reading aloud the list of quarters, their location, and the guests who will be sharing them.

"I will remain here to answer questions," Worf concludes. "And my team will be standing by to escort you where you need to be."

The list is also displayed on a PADD, where people can refer to it if they need to.


[ooc: This post is open for everyone to tag in and meet their new roommates and neighbors, "party post" style! Everyone should participate if and when they can, so they can get acquainted with who they will be rooming with for at least the next several months. Rooms are aligned the way they would be in a typical hotel: odd numbers on the left, even numbers on the right (so 0711 and 0713 will be next door neighbors, while 0712 is directly across the hall). There is an OOC post in the OOC comm where players can connect with questions and where we'll post more details about the rooms themselves, so check in over there! If you need to ask security questions, or need them to swing by another thread, just put "Security officer, please!" in the subject line of your tag, and the mods will send someone to you ASAP.]

"Diplomats, maybe," he says. "Or if they go to some planet and need to bring people aboard for meetings--but no, they'd just do that on the planet, probably. But you've got to accommodate diplomats, and if some ambassador needs to be ferried from one planet to another to solve some crisis, and if that ambassador has gills..."

He considers that.

"Would fish-people go into space?"

"Maybe in specialized suits." Beat. "We have aquatic races."

"But most of those-" Like the little green toad. "-can manage outside of those areas, too."


But there were always examples like Pilot, too. He couldn't go anywhere but where he was now.

"We have humans, where I'm from," he says. "And maybe some of these folks who look like humans but people say they're not--I wouldn't know. Nobody back home has ever said they're not."

Their racial focus goes a different way, generally. A person could be from a planet a billion miles away, not be human at all but look white enough, and the people he's lived among wouldn't think twice about them.

[do_your_duty]

"I'm not." There's less of anything like hesitation, and more of something like challenge in those two words.

Like if that was going to be a problem, they should figure it out right now before getting anywhere.

"You're not from where I am, either," he says. "Look, I'm just a guy from a long time ago who's in over his head with all of this, but the way I figure, people are people. If they don't have a problem with me, I don't have a problem with them."

[do_your_duty]

It's not a terrible way of putting it.

Maybe it's fitting she looks to the wall.




And stops, with a blink. "I think this is it."

[bet_on_the_river]

"Do they have locks, or... do they just know who to open for?"

They hadn't been given keys, after all. And people here act like there's no crime anymore, that humanity's evolved into something greater, but he knows people, and he doesn't think it's possible.

Either way, it opens.

[do_your_duty]

It does. Just open. Without even hitting a door button like on Moya.

Aeryn raised her eyebrows, more like a 'Well', in response as it had opened.


She stepped inside taking a look at the wide room. Seats, and another one of those replicators, not too far from a table, and doors on both ends of that room. It's not the kind of barracks she was expecting. It's a lot more really than she was expecting all over.
