In an effort to raise morale, Assistant Chief Engineer and Vice Admiral Winning Pants Wil Ukinix assembles a large portion of the Veritas crew to take part in the 'Tour de Ketar V Pub Crawl.' The Five stage event sees the crew, through clever use of the transporter, moving from location to location automatically as the hour chimes, with a variety of hilarious results. | |||
'''Stage One - 1900 hours to 2000 hours - Welder's Diner -''' Returning to the scene of an incident that saw Captain Rahman, Cmdr. Kelrod and Lt. Ukinix briefly detained by the CCMS, the first stop on the tour is an greasy spoon diner that promises (and delivers) the best burgers on the planet. As the crew loads up on the tasty local fair, Ensign Andy Monroe catches the eye of a waitress and decides to order the special. | |||
'''Stage Two - 2000 hours to 2100 hours - The Settler's Arms Pub -''' With energetic drinking underway, a friendly game of darts is interrupted by the arrival of two absolutely fabulous (or, outrageously annoying) women who befriend Doctor Addison MacKenzie whilst tossing shade at everyone else. The tour goers also run across Gaz & Daymo, a pair of dock workers who had been instrumental in helping some of the crew track down an important link in the Illanos drug trafficking empire. The friendly pair are invited to join in the festivities and join the tour for the rest of the evening, unaware they're being pursued by parties unknown. | |||
'''Stage Three - 2100 hours to 2200 hours - The Singing Shoals Karaoke Lounge -''' As a small transporter mishap drops a micturating Geoffrey Teller into a dumpster behind the venue, the rest of the gang steps inside and meets Seran, the talented but dour Vulcan manager of the lounge. Beginning to feel the effects of their libations, crew members take to the stage and perform a host of Terran classics until they're interrupted by the self-proclaimed Ketar V Championship Karaoke team and abruptly challenged to a singoff. Jayla Petras, backed up by the entirety of the assembled pub crawlers, does honor to Starfleet and the good ship Veritas by delivering a spectacular performance of 'That Don't Impress Me Much,' which ends victoriously as the crew is whisked to their next locale. A woman in red, unseen by the gang, is frustrated by her inability to get close to Gaz & Daymo for reasons that have yet to reveal themselves. | |||
'''Stage Four - 2200 hours to 2215 hours - The Explosive Decompression Bar -''' This grimy bar, outside of which the body of Cmdr. Illanos was discovered, is an unlikely choice for their fourth and penultimate destination. Inside, the gang finds deafening live Andorian thrash metal, dangerously toxic drinks, and a crowd that seems prepared for violence at the drop of a hat. G'var, reveling in the thunderous music and rowdy atmosphere, is convinced she has spotted an old flame of Geoffrey Teller's across the bar, but the woman remains out of reach when that hat does, inevitably, drop. The crew is forced to make a strategic withdrawal to their final destination as a crowd of violently drunk soccer hooligans begin closing in from all sides. The woman in red is once again stymied in her pursuit of Gaz & Daymo who are still unaware they are being stalked. | |||
'''Stage Five - 2215 hours to 2300 hours - The Republic Arms Plate & Pint''' - Concluding their evening in the cozy environs of the Republic Arms, the bedraggled crew, now deeply inebriated, dump themselves into comfortable loungers and plush bar stools as they take in the soothing jazz quintet and the substantially less soothing karaoke efforts of Wil Ukinix and Geoffrey Teller. The night draws to a close as the Veritas crew returns to the ship to find a stern faced Captain Rahman awaiting their return in the transporter room while on the planet below, Gaz & Daymo are waylaid at gunpoint by the Woman in Red, who demands they return an artifact the two claim to know nothing about. | |||
