Lord Frederigo D'Honaire, Princess Astra of Aqualaira, Princess Exotica of
the Great Kingdom, and Velus were quite startled at what they saw. The
hundred green doors had disappeared. Instead, they were in a large room
where some sort of gathering was being held. All around them, they saw
booths where wares were being hawked. All around them, they saw people in
strange clothing. There were many in a strange red uniform that looked like
someone's pajamas. Nearby, there was a strange group of inhuman warriors
with ridged foreheads wearing armor. "Where are we?" Astra asked, dazed. "I have no idea," said Fred. "Perhaps this is some sort of festival?" "I think Astra is going to need some clothing," suggested Velus, even though he personally preferred her without it. He was right. All around them, people were staring at Astra, some seeming offended and shocked at her nakedness, some looking lustfully at her naked form. Fred approached one of the men in the red pajamas. He was in his forties, and had a receding hairline. "Excuse me," he said. "Where is this?" "This is a Star Trek convention," said the man. "What are you supposed to be, anyway?" Fred was a little taken aback by that question. "I am Lord Frederigo D'Honaire." "Never heard of him," said the man. "What episode was he in? Maybe he was part of some holodeck program." Then, all the people started walking into another room, a large auditorium. "Anyway, the costume contest's about to start. I presume you're in it, from that knight getup." "What costume contest?" asked Fred. "You don't know about it? It's the biggest event of the convention! If you win, you'll get a peice of Captain Picard's actual uniform!" He then moved into the room. "So what is this?" said Velus. "Apparently, some sort of religious celebration," said Fred. "Some sort of feast or gathering. They're having a contest to win a sacred relic of their god. Or at least, that's what it sounded like."
