200 — Anniversary Festival!

Happy Anniversary, Marina Nova!

The bots have been busy cleaning up the dome and setting up decorations for this momentous occasion, and by now there isn't a nook or cranny left un-pimped! Bright blue MarinaNova flags wave happily in the artificial breeze together with the colorful ribbons that have been wrapped around poles. The streets are illuminated by strings of lights and paper lanterns and each sector gate has been lovingly decorated with fragrant flower garlands.

Of course, that is far from all! There wouldn't be much of a festival without entertainment and your loving wardens have made absolutely sure that there's something for everyone!

Sector 0 Fairground: If you want to go faster, you have to scream louder! Sector 0 has been taken over by a fairground where you can find such old classics as the bumper cars, a haunted house of mirrors, a more romantic tunnel of love, a roller coaster, a classic merry-go-round and, of course, a ferris wheel.

Game Booths: Step right up! Test your skill and win a prize! Throughout the dome there's a variety of game booths, ranging from the classic ring toss and high striker to kissing booths and dunk tanks. There's also a duck pond game, balloon darts and goldfish scooping game — with mechanical goldfish, of course!

The prizes are all of the carnival variety, including but not limited to: stuffed animals, fake tattoos, cheap bracelets and necklaces, stickers, rubber reptiles, silly hats, wiggle snakes and sticky hands or other sticky things.

Performances: The other way to show your skill! There are two stages set up in the dome: the first one with sound equipment and instruments suitable for a musical performance — or perhaps just karaoke! If no one is using the stage, it will automatically play randomly selected music from a wide variety of genres. The second stage is set up to accommodate physical performances like gymnastics and when no one is performing you're treated to a projection of ball room dancers, gymnasts, modern dance, ballet and similar things!

There are also street performers scattered throughout the dome. You can watch robots juggle, eat fire, swallow swords or charm robot snakes! There's also face painting and the occasional robot dressed up as a human statue for your amusement.

Food: The food carts in sector 0 are now carrying food fit for the occasion. You can find classic carnival food like popcorn, cotton candy, corn dogs, funnel cakes and pizza slices, but also takoyaki, okonomiyaki, candied almonds, gyros, pirogues, egg rolls and of course snow cones and ice-cream cones. The theme has of course extended to the drink selection and you're welcome to quench your thirst with lemon shake ups, butterbeer, mead and malted milkshakes.

Enjoy!

	[Laura can relate to that sense of awkwardness. The games are fairly simple for someone of her training, even though the gun and the dart being tossed are fairly nonlethal. But even with her own unsettled feelings, the woman standing so out of place with all of the toys catches her attention.] They are toys. You keep them or give them away.

I do not play with toys. [ she did, once upon a time, but she wasn't six-years-old anymore, playing with a plastic replica of the borg cube her parents' ship was following. it strikes her as disturbing now, that magnus and erin had given it to her as if she were meant to see the borg as something new and fascinating instead of the fearful, destructive force she now knew them to be. ]

Would you like one?

	I do not own toys. [She has never played with any either.] There are children here. You can find one to give them to. Why do they not have more practical prizes for these games? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am not acquainted with any of them. Perhaps a donations booth for them to choose from at a later date can be set up. [ for the time being, however, she will set them aside on an abandoned cart. ] Perhaps if they awarded rehabilitation points instead of stuffed animals, the games would be more appealing.

	That would be something valuable that we could use, not something they assume we want out due to their assumptions on our materialism. I do not think the wardens understand why we would want them. [She turns to look at the game the woman had been playing.] This one looks to be marginally challenging. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ seven has only felt maternal once in her life, and that was towards a drone born of a transporter accident who ultimately sacrificed himself to keep her and voyager out of harm's way. she was still deeply saddened by that loss, months later. ] More so than the rest of the carnival's available assortment of games.

	What is the object of the game in order to win? [She has not seen all of the games before, but she is curious to learn about them.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
