[Ten Forward]: Rooming Assignments | Round #4

[ten_fwd_npcs]

There had been many things Lieutenant Worf envisioned for himself upon his promotion to Chief of Security. Herding humanoid interlopers into organized groups and assigning them permanent residence aboard the Enterprise was, to say the least, not among them. After regrouping from their time at Alemar III, Dr. Crusher's medical team has cleared a number of new visitors for ship-wide access, which means it falls upon Worf's shoulders to assign them quarters and instruct them on the correct behavior and protocols needed for life aboard the Enterprise. He has gathered everyone in Ten Forward to impart this vital information.

As he has done this before, he 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.

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

[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 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.]

"Way ahead of you, pal," Jim says. He advances to his end of the room with alarming speed. He spins back around toward his roommate.

"Pretty cozy in here. Man could do worse."

[bestpal]

Bucky watches his every move. "Yes." He is a solider and has slept on the ground with a boulder as a pillow. "Do you have any weapons?" He wants to know the count so he knows what sounds to listen out for during the nights.

[waco_jim]

Jim pats his gun belt.

"Single Action Army," he says. "Two of 'em."

He doesn't give the appearance of examining his new roommate's disposition, but he's doing it nonetheless. Not that he'd have to look hard. This one doesn't so much have soldier written all over him so much as he has it flashing above his head in bright neon. With ads posted at the next five freeway exits.

Bucky glances at the gun belt, he's seen much better and quieter guns. If his room mate turns on him, he will be able to take him out. It is a comfort, Bucky has learned to survive this way. "I carry knives," he warns.

"How long have you been on board?"

[waco_jim]

He'd have less time than he thinks. Even by a supersoldier's standards, Jim's speed is ridiculous. He could have him on the ground in a literal blink of an eye if he wanted. Not that he would.

Of course, nobody can blame him for underestimating this paunchy middle-aged pistol jockey. Bucky has no way of knowing that he comes from a place where comedy supercedes the laws of physics.

"Well now," he says. "That takes some confidence. I'll bet you're pretty damn good with 'em."

He shrugs. "Couldn't say how long I've been here. About two or three months, I think."

Time tends to blur together for a man of Jim's...peculiar habits.

[bestpal]

"I have trained with knives for sixty years." Bucky doesn't look anywhere near his age. The two of them make quite a contrast. He pauses as he remembers the problem that his last room mate had with him.

"If I disturb your sleep, tell me."

[waco_jim]

Jim nods, his eyes registering some mild surprise. He's heard stranger than that. He is stranger than that.

"Well, you look good."

He pulls out a hip flask and takes a sip.

"You probably won't. I'm a heavy sleeper."
