Weekend Events at Deep Space 1

A few people have asked me what there is to do at Deep Space 1 this weekend, so I thought I’d share a little from the starbase’s calendar of events...

Tonight, in the DS1 main theater, they have already begun showing a repeating marathon of all three Marvel Universe Iron Man movies from Earth’s early 21st century. Tomorrow night, they are having a Captain America movie marathon. Tickets are only eight credits for each set of three movies (i.e., each marathon showing).

Throughout Gamma Shift, tonight, DS1 is also hosting a bowling tournament in the station’s bowling alley. I’m told there will also be live music from one of the DS1 rock bands known as, “The Ion Five”. I’ve been told that the group is quite popular on the starbase.

Tomorrow morning, the Deep Space 1 religious staff have invited our crew to attend Sunday morning services. There is a Protestant chapel, a Catholic chapel, and a Bolian Church of Grimtoc. The Vulcan temple is open to visitors as well, although, the Vulcans are less likely to issue a public invitation, since they value their privacy.

Tomorrow afternoon, at 1500 hours, the DS1 Parrises Squares arena will be hosting a rousing match between the teams from the starbase and the Enterprise. I will be one of the participants on the Enterprise team. Feel free to come cheer us on. We would love your support.

There will also be a touch football match next door in the adjacent bay at about the same time. Apparently the DS1 command staff convinced Commander Riker to participate – as a representative of the Enterprise. As I understand it, though, Commander Riker is not a football player, so the entertainment value in this match might be worth seeing.

Tomorrow evening, the starbase event staff has put together an impromptu culture festival on the DS1 deck 10 mall. I’m told one of the restaurants there is cooking BBQ beef (imported from a local colony world), and will be hosting a trivia challenge in our honor.

On Monday morning, the DS1 starbase Marines have invited any Enterprise personnel who are “brave enough”, to join them on their Monday deck run, and morning fitness workout.

So, if you have the time, Deep Space 1 welcomes the Enterprise, and encourages our crew to enjoy their unique hospitality while we are in port.
