ten_fwd | [Ten Forward]: Rooming Assignments

The events of the last several days have been quite... intriguing. The responsibility of giving the new arrivals chaperones — or pairing them off and calling them 'roommates', as it is more often said — and assigning them permanent residence on the Enterprise usually falls on Lt. Worf's shoulders. However, given the strange events that have befallen Lt. Worf's current timeline, it is Lt. Cmdr. Data who has been given the responsibility today.

He looks across the faces of those gathered before him in Ten Forward, and then over his shoulder to take in the strange appearance of Ten Forward. An event called 'Saturnalia' still seems to be affecting the lounge's appearance, much to the discomfort of the captain and several other chiefs of staff. Data merely turns back, and utters a soft, "Hm."

"Now that Dr. Crusher has cleared everyone for ship-wide access, you will be assigned quarters and instructed on the correct behavior and protocols needed for life aboard the Enterprise. Please, listen carefully to my following words.

"The computer will instruct you as to where all cleared-for-access decks are. You only need to utter a verbal command, and it will show you where each area is located and give you directions on how to get there. Do not visit any restricted areas. The bridge, engine rooms, and all command centers are off-limits.

"There are a few rules you must follow 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 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 ourselves do."

He pauses to be sure everyone is paying attention, and nods once he is satisfied. "Now, I will read you the list of quarters, their location, and the guests who will be sharing them."

"Lt. Worf will remain in his quarters on Deck 7, Section 25 Baker, as will Dr. Katherine Pulaski on Deck 8, Room # 3357," Data continues, pausing minutely before he continues. "General Chang and Khan Noonien Singh will be placed on the security level of Deck 33, Room # 5245, and it is highly advised others not go there without supervision.

"I will remain here to answer questions," he concludes. "Security will be standing by to escort you if needed."

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. ]

Rygel hovers into his assigned quarters with a distinguished and familiar scowl on his face. It has nearly been his default expression as of late. Another day, another new annoyance. And this one might be the least tolerable of all.

"Even in prison," he mutters, "I didn't have to suffer the indignity of a roommate."

He hopes to hezmana that it isn't an Ooman, too. Knowing his infernal luck, it will be.

Booker eyed the announcement, then chuckled. At least he'd be roomed with Domino, with would make things a lot easier, and well, actually felt right. And Elizabeth was going to be in her own room with a stranger, but hopefully not a bad one. he made up his mind then to keep an eye out for this Spock.

In the meantime, he also looked around for any of those he had met recently, to see if they were around, and how they'd done.

There was a sharp bark of laughter and a clap of hands when Chang got his news. "I will put up a sign that says 'Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here'," he declared with a smile and a raise of his drink.

But moments later, Chang's thoughts went inward, thinking on his new roommate, and just what is he going to do with him.

Robin Hood? The Robin Hood. He thought his universe had a ludicrous sense of humor but if it chose to pair a figure from British lore with a man named for British lore, then why not?

With an exasperated sigh Gaheris took his place in his room, hanging his read-leather jacket in his closet as he doubted he would be wearing it any time soon.

He missed the trappings of his old room- the light art, the funerary statues that once lined the tomb of a great warrior, the armor, the swords, the stylistic paintings and geometry. This was too bright and simultaneously too brown.

He would still be investigating it whenever his roommate were to arrive or anyone else were to pay a visit.

She hadn't been expecting the privilege of getting her old room back. She'd thought she was going to get shunted into the roommate pool -- something she had heard about and had not strictly been looking forward to -- or simply slotted into some empty crew quarters. But it turned out that the Enterprise hadn't filled the space she'd left in that sense at least, and it tickled her to be back in familiar spaces.

Stripped bare, to be fair, of anything familiar, but then, Pulaski had always traveled light.

Settling in gave her time to reflect on her situation. Initially, and at face value, she had put a positive spin on it -- and in fact the whole situation had such a degree of absurdity that it was funny, once she had gotten over the initial shock. But that was a bit like saying the lake water was warm, when it was simply that one's body temperature had adjusted. You'd still end up with hypothermia eventually, if you stayed in too long.

Being torn from her ship, her crew, her work was much more worrisome on a deeper level. She was under no illusions that she'd be the only one looking for a way to get home, but that didn't make her any less inclined to try and get the lay of the land. She had left people and projects behind, and besides, she was no fan of being toyed with. This smacked of nothing more than it smacked of toying.

On the other hand, if she couldn't get back... then what? She was safe here, she was around people she knew and liked. If she was stuck, Kate was a little bit inclined to consider this odd confinement to the Enterprise a little bit like an enforced holiday.

To that end, and because she had done all the investigating she could handle for the moment, Kate Pulaski replicated herself a PADD, accessed the ship's database, and settled down to do a little bit of reading.

Maybe she'd finally catch up on her medical journals.

Elizabeth was quite surprised to hear the Doctor's name among the list of the new arrivals. She made a mental note to look for him later.

It was an amusing surprise to hear she was in the VIP quarters. Probably it was an error, but she decided not to mention it. Once Data was done speaking she began to circulate around the room, on a search for Spock. It would help if she knew whether Spock was a girl or a boy. The name didn't tell her much about her new roommate. She hoped they were nice.

The onimusha listened carefully, watching those around him to gauge their reactions. If people seemed objectionable, there really wasn't anything he could do about it, but he could at least try to help keep the peace. He also kept an eye out to see I'd his assigned chaperone was present, so he might introduce himself.

TenSoon was happy with his room assignment, but he was less happy with the food situation. Computer had repeatedly refused to dispense well-aged meat from her replicators, citing some sort of objection about biohazards that didn't apply to a scavenger such as himself, which meant he had to find an alternative method of procuring something tasty. Thankfully, Computer was willing to dispense fresh, raw pork and to adjust his room temperature, so he'd decided to strew meat in the bathroom while Wan was out to let it marinade.

He's out in the hallway at the moment, sniffing at the seams of the closed door to see if any of the scent of his finely softening meal-to-be is escaping. He doesn't want to give anyone an excuse to throw away his first, flavoursome meal in over a year!

So he's getting a new roommate. That's not really a surprise. He didn't see much of the man, and then he was gone one day. So now he's getting a new roommate.

He makes a point of sticking around the quarters on the day when the assignment is announced, so that he doesn't miss it when his new roommate shows up.
