Summer Test Drive! (Calibrations edition!)

[thespaceopera]

THE SUMMER TEST DRIVE MEME
(Or Winter Test Drive for you Southern Hemisphere folks!)

Got someone you want to try out before you app? Well this is the post for it! Feel free to use anything that fits in the setting of Drift Fleet! Want to play bumper shuttles? Want to go wild in a med bay? Play around with the current plot? Have at it!

Threads from the Test-Drive may be made game "canon" but DO NOT count toward AC!

FOR NEW PLAYERS: You DO NOT NEED an invite to participate in the TEST DRIVE! If you decide to APP into the game, ONLY THEN will you need an invite from a current player!

SPECIAL NOTE!
Since June is a special month in which we'll be breaking from the usual plot to bring back the calibrations plot, the Test Drive prompts will come in two flavors!

OPTION A: Standard Test Drive
Go ahead and treat the test drive as you normally would, using past plots or fleet locations as your setting! Here's some helpful info for some ideas.

April/May's Star System

March's Star System

Game Details

SS Iskaulit

OPTION B: Build-a-Calibration
If you'd like, you can use the info given about the Calibrations plot to design your own calibration room for any characters you want! Got a character you want to explore their inner psyche but isn't in the game yet? Go ahead and try it out! It can be a fully fleshed out room, or simply just a small part of it you'd like to play with.

Alternatively for any characters that are in the game, you can use this as a chance to either iron out, brainstorm, or test run any components of your calibration before the actual plot starts! We don't recommend posting the entirety of your calibration in this meme (as you'll have nothing new to post come plot time), but this can be a good chance to test out any parts to make sure they work how you desire.

Test drives are posted SEASONALLY, so the next one will be in September!

[Oh. Oh no. He doesn't recognize her, she's probably still on the Destiny. Or in the Academy by his time.]

I- [She can't bring herself to say anything yet.]

I'm a Trill, yes. I'm the counselor on board DS9, Ben pushed the paperwork through. My name is Ezri, I'm captain of the S.S. Caprine here.

[sonof_mogh]

[DS9 had a counsellor now? It never had one before, did it? Worf didn't really pay attention to that side of the ship, as he never needed such services before.]

My Par'Mach'Kai is a Trill.

[Uh-oh. Timeline confusion times coming up. Worf studied the woman with a fascination. He had not noticed another Trill aboard the station before. Jadzia surely would have mentioned her to him.]

Perhaps, you arrived recently to the station, since I am currently living aboard the Defiant. The station is rather....loud and busy for my liking when I am trying to sleep.

[Yeah, she needs to know all of that, Worf.]

I must say it is good to meet another Starfleet officer and a Trill.

[musicalhost]

You're wife-to-be, right? Jadzia.

[She thought this has been hard when she'd gone to find Ben? Ha! Or meeting Leonard again here. She hated when time was being toyed with.]

I've only been on the station a few months. [She remembers that. Hadn't it irritated Jadzia?]

You'll meet a few others here too. Captain Kirk, Pavel. You just missed Leonard and Beverly.

[sonof_mogh]

Yes. Jadzia and I are to be wed soon.

[When she can eventually pick a date and stop being so....her.]

That would explain why I do not recognise your face. Captain Kirk? From the Enterprise?

[What the?- Surely, he was dead and buried? That was almost one hundred years ago, wasn't it? Or somewhere along those lines.]

Berverly Crusher? The doctor aboard the Enterprise? The one with Captain Picard as captain?

[This was all pretty surreal to Worf right now, who was trying to swallow all the words the Trill was offering him. Was he dreaming? It seemed like some sort of wild dream. Was he being tested by the gods? Was Kahless judging him?]

[musicalhost]

[Good questions, Worf.]

I don't come to Deep Space Nine until 2375. That would be why.

And yes, James T. Kirk himself. And Beverly Crusher, she was a good friend. I hope she will be when I get a chance to go home too.

[This is going to take a bit.] Atroma doesn't much care about the Temporal Prime Directive. They'll take anyone from any time.

[sonof_mogh]

[All of this was becoming too much for Worf to understand, as he growled in annoyance.]

This is not....possible. How can I have gone back in time? These Atroma you speak of...are these the ones responsible for bringing us here?

[He looked around warily at the room. Who were these cowards who took both him and this woman from their homes aboard DS9. He would surely kill them for this.]

[musicalhost]

Ahead, really. You and Jadzia had already been married.

[She's trying to keep vague about home. Trying so hard. It was easier when it was just Beverly, she hadn't been attached to Jadzia.]

Atroma, yeah. They brought us here. We're supposed to be entertaining, like some of those old Earth shows.
