[Ten Forward]: Rooming Assignments | Round #15

[ten_fwd_npcs]

Now that Dr. Crusher's medical team has cleared a sizable number of new passengers for ship-wide access comes a big day for them: the day they receive their official introduction to the Enterprise. It starts with a tour of the ship and some background to the situation, delivered by Chief O'Brien.

The tour covers the main areas of the ship, and a history of recent events, Q-inspired and otherwise.

Once the tour has wrapped up, it normally falls on Worf's shoulders to assign the new arrivals quarters and instruct them on the correct behavior and protocols needed for life aboard the Enterprise. They have been gathered together in Ten Forward, and are awaiting further instructions on how to proceed. Unfortunately, Worf is still unavailable, and so instead it falls on Lt. Junior Grade Baldwin’s shoulders to do so, just as it did last month.

As he has done this before, Baldwin has a speech prepared:

"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.

"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.

Looking down at the safety of his PADD, he says, "Room assignments are as follows," before reading off the list of quarters, their location, and the guests who will be sharing them.

"I will remain here to answer questions," Baldwin says, managing to keep the reluctance out of his voice. "And the rest of the Security 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: Open log for building CR with new roommates and meeting neighbors, "party post" style! 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 a post in the OOC comm where players can connect with questions and find 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. The tour given by Chief O'Brien is not open for tagging; you can assume your character had any basic questions answered. ]

See, that's why Chris loves Phoebe. She's nice. Of course, she's also an empath so she gets to feel all the emotional roller coaster effects of not being nice. So he gave her a hug back, drawing her close.

"Trust me, it's a good reason. Does the fate of the world and the lives of the Charmed Ones count?" Cause really, he didn't know another way to do this. To do the plan. He couldn't have just come out with it at first. For one thing,Piper hadn't even conceived him yet. And second, who would believe that cute little Wyatt could grow up to be so vicious?

[premonitioned]

"It does." The hug goes on a little longer than her standard ones, like she can make up for all of the missed opportunities in this one long hugs. "But, we Haliwells are always stronger when we work together. We could help you Chris, we could at least help you track down the demon that is after Wyatt."

She touches Chris' chin to get his full attention. "And when you mean are lives, you mean...." Is this how mom feels every time they meet her during her past?

[student_lighter]

Chris really didn't want to answer that question. It brought up too many bad memories. But that wasn't fair, most of his memories were bad. With a few good ones from the past year with his parents and aunt peppered in. After all, you didn't get to grow up in a world where Wyatt had conquered the magical world and destroyed the physical one, and have happy memories of birthday cakes.

Phoebe didn't need to know their fates. Or the fates of her children. She didn't need to know the extent of what Wyatt had become, or what he did to the city. Even the Golden Gate Bridge was gone. Even with the power to orb there was no escape from Wyatt.

Wyatt was brutal. She didn't need to know the little boy she was currently taking care of and helping raise was going to rule more with violence than care, with no respect for family. Family seemed to make it worse. It was probably the only reason Wyatt hadn't killed him yet. He liked Chris. And he could always put him back together again.

"Actually....there's no demon after Wyatt."

[premonitioned]

Phoebe can feel all of the turmoil going through Chris, especially his pain. Right now, she would give anything to take it away from it, even for a second to give him some peace. But healing comes from dealing with them, and she waits patiently, until he comes to his conclusion to share.

His answer, horrifies her. She can barely believe it. They would never let evil lay claim on Wyatt. "How. What happened?" she asks, her voice tense and a little high pitched.

[premonitioned]

Chris might not want to tell her the truth, but even he can't argue with the fates. Phoebe isn't looking for a premonition but one hits her, full force. She sees their headstones, and then worse, Wyatt attacking Chris. The images are awful, and she steps back away from her nephew ashen.

"It can't be real. Wyatt...he can't have gone evil. That isn't him." Her eyes plead with Chris, but she can feel his pain. "Someone must have got to a him."

[student_lighter]

Dammit. Chis knew that look. That face. Phoebe just had a premonition. "I didn't want you to see that, Phoebe." Chris said, sorrowfully.

"Gideon got to him. Traumatized him. I didn't get there in time. Couldn't stop him. We had it wrong all along. There was no demon trying to get to Wyatt. The trauma of Gideon trying to kill him for months as a toddler, while mom and dad tried to find him, well, you know what it did to him."
