lake 1

There are some 20 lakes like this scattered about the starship. Signs designate them by number so users don’t confuse one with the other. They are on different decks any way.

The wide walkways have safety rails and are 30’ wide. The yellow bridges go over the other walkway. They are built so no one can hide under them. All of the walkways dip near the water at one or more points. Littering is punishable.

The smaller, edged with yellow, walkways look like dirt and lawn paths. The one lined with park benches is the exit only path.

The drawbridge is based on actual drawings from Old Earth and has flickering lamps on it. A few ‘spooky’ effects are included. Like mechanical skeletons that laugh and chuckle at random intervals. More often during the one hour that the lights dim slightly. Not sponsered by the Amusement Park. It was the idea of a department head somewhere back on Earth. Most passengers and crew feel it is completely out of context and should have been placed in one of the Amusement Parks.

There is always a ‘day’ here, the lights don’t cycle from day to night, but do dim slightly for one hour every fifteen hours.

There are few park benches here. Most people come here for a brisk walk and then go somewhere else.

This isn’t the lake used for swimming.

Thirty people work here, all are trained in security and medical. Twenty additional people are assigned cleanup duty, former litterers.

The entire area is 1,000 feet by 800 feet.

access to this forest is by several hatches that lead here from passageways nearby.

The yellow wooden bridges go over the other walkway. They are built so no one can hide under them. There are fewer paths and walking barefoot is encouraged.

Swimming in the pond is encouraged. There are three life guards for this pond during the ‘day’. The life guards work for the Amusement Park.

The three buildings are fantasy styled open-work buildings. They are sponsered and maintained by the Amusement Park, but this isn’t generally known.

The large structure, with trees, is designed to look like an elf house. The small pond is 2 feet deep. Wading is encouraged. Also sponsered and maintained by the Amusement Park.

The small ponds don’t have any fish in them. Wading is encouraged.

To reduce monotony, the benches and street lights are moved to different locations at random intervals. Computers make sure no large areas become dark and shadowy. Some of the benches slowly sink to the ground, if anyone sits on them for longer than 20 minutes. This is to encourage exercise.

The three orange/red striped circles are carousels. Also sponsered and maintained by the Amusement Park. Their logo is on them. The carousels only run during the 6 hour ‘day’. The ‘day’ for forest 1 and forest 2 overlap only occasionally due to a random timer that is used randomly to start the ‘day’ in forest 2. The two carousels near each other use the same sound system.

Some 30 Amusement Park employees work here. Five for each carousel, and the rest are cleaners. Eight security guards and five medics are also here. There are 3 vendors of food and drink here. Twelve restrooms are located in this park. Any one working here can call for backup.

The Security building is also a small medical clinic. Any police-type or medical emergency gets a quick response team there in less than 5 minutes. There are 3 holding cells for minor crimes. Major crime doers get taken to the nearest security rooms outside this forest.

There are large area overhead lights. The lights here cycle on a 9 hour timer. Sparkling lights play across the ceiling at park ‘night’. They are obviously not stars, anyone can see the stars from an observation deck, but make patterns like waves moving across the sea. Sometimes a smiling moon, or three, float across the ceiling. If you think the moon waved to you, mention this to any Amusement Park employee, you could win a free ride ticket. No work hours at the Park need to be exchanged for this ticket. For those who don’t want to work in the Amusement Park as employees to earn ride time, they can sit in their dorm, or room, and watch movies.

There are a large number of LEDs that can be serviced from the deck above that make up the moons and the moving lights. The daytime lights are like a noon-day brightness.

The entire area is 1,000 feet by 800 feet.

The small ponds have obviously mechanical fish in them, too many people were eating the real ones as a change from the staid star ship standard rations.

They are obviously not stars, anyone can see the stars from an observation deck, but make patterns like waves moving across the sea. There are a large number of LEDs that can be serviced from the deck above. The daytime lights suppliment the street lights, but the look is more of an hour or two past sunrise rather than a noon-day brightness.
