What happens in Vegas.... (rp with powered_otaku)

Continued from here.

It was the first thing that came to Chuck's mind when Hiro had talked about taking a short trip.

"There's a really neat Star Trek ride in Las Vegas," Chuck suggested to Hiro. And a moment later, Hiro had brought them both to the middle of the famous strip.

Chuck glanced about wide-eyed until an excited Hiro asked where the ride was.

"Oh!" Chuck replied, snapping back to reality. "It's at the Hilton." Then, he pointed in the general direction of the hotel and added, "Down there."

Hiro almost waves at the doctor, but clasps his hands together so he doesn't look too much like he's a dork.

The Doctor tells the groups they've all been selected to undergo medical testing since some of them are immune to the Borg's nanotechnology.

Chuck winces a bit. Even though he knows this a ride, the thought of being experimented on is something he finds unsettling.

The next thing they know, the station is under attack by a Borg cube.

Hiro also winces a bit at the thought of experimentation, too, although he thinks it would be cool if he was immune to the Borg nanotechnology.

He's a bit more prepared this time for the fact that it's a ride, so he squashes his immediate reaction to pop out.

A security officer enters the room and orders the group to follow him to an escape shuttle. As he dashes down the corridor, he motions for the group to follow. There are Borg drones heading towards them now.

"Uh-oh," Chuck says aloud as he notices one. Then he turns towards Hiro as jogs to follow the security officer. "This seems so real, doesn't it?"

Hiro jogs with him, keeping an eye on the drones and making sure he doesn't trip over anyone else. "Yes, it does. I hope this is part of the ride or we may need to make an 'emergency exit'."

"As far as I know-"

Just then a Borg arm reaches down from the corridor above, grabs one of the crewmen and drags him away.

Chuck eyes go wide as he sees the helpless crewman being dragged away.

He's about to say something when the security officer commands the group to head for the shuttle. Another officer pries the door open and waves for the group to enter.

Now aboard the shuttle, the group is commanded to put on a pair of 'safety goggles.'

"Must be the 3-D glasses," Chuck whispers to Hiro.

Hiro comes close to chasing down the crewman who's been grabbed by the Borg, but he needs to stick close to Chuck or possibly lose him.

Hiro looks at the glasses and nods. When he is directed to sit, he makes sure to sit next to Chuck. This ride is a bit more exciting than the Klingon one, especially with all the Borg attacking and dragging people away. He waits for the "launch" of the shuttle.

The shuttle doesn't get very far as the Borg cube's tractor beam draws the shuttle towards the cube.

A Borg probe soon enters the shuttle and sprays the group with nanites. Chuck feels something on his skin, like a fine water mist. Then suddenly it feel as though something is moving through his skin as a motion prod in the seat activates.

He gasps a bit as do others in the group. A couple people actually scream too.

Hiro gasps in surprise, especially when he feels his seat prod him and the mist that sprays their skin. When the Borg Queen begins to lecture about joining the hive mind, Hiro yells "Never!" Then nearly dies of embarassment as he has just out-dorked everyone there.

"Don't worry about it," Chuck whispers to Hiro as he notices his friend looks embarrassed.

He's about to say something more when he hears a familiar voice say, "Maybe it's time we even the sides!"

"Janeway," Chuck says aloud, nearly at the same time as Borg Queen.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Yay!" Hiro cries as Janeway and the Queen argue and the Voyager comes to save them. He's tempted to yell at the Queen again, but he stomps on the compulsion

The Borg cube explodes on the screen. Chuck grins - the effect is pretty cool.

The shuttle then returns to the station and after some parting words from Janeway, the ride ends.

As they file out, Chuck asks Hiro, "Still wanna head to Quark's Bar?"
