Interstellar Dialogue: Wizards at Ten-Foward

Imagine a scenario where three powerful wizards meet at Ten-Foward, a popular hangout on the starship Enterprise. Gandalf, Dumbledore, and Yoda, having taken to a more casual setting, find themselves engaging in a fascinating conversation over drinks and shared stories. Here’s what they order and how their discussion unfolds.

Collaborative Atmosphere and Orders

Their orders reflect their unique tastes and backgrounds:

Gandalf: Gandalf would order a simple beer or ale. He is not particularly fancy, preferring an uncomplicated drink that tastes good. Yoda: Yoda would opt for something a Ferengi would drink, likely an icky-looking beverage that has surprising flavor and kick, with a grub at the bottom. This is just a quirk, as Yoda usually seems to enjoy such items despite their appearance. Dumbledore: Dumbledore, the master of surprise, would ask Guinan about sweet, delicious, and novel cocktails she likes and ask to be surprised.

A Night of Discovery and Serious Discussion

After a few drinks, the conversation turns from lighter topics to deeper discussions:

Younger People’s Fascination: They discuss the eternal fascination with younger people. Characters of centuries-long experience find that younger individuals can surprise and intrigue them in unexpected ways. Good vs. Evil: The wizards delve into the complexities of good and evil, contrasting forgiveness with redemption, and honoring treachery. Companionship: They find themselves in good company, feeling understood and resonating with ideas that they often think about but perhaps don’t often discuss.

As they drink and converse, there is an offbeat moment where Gandalf and Yoda are met with a familiar description, causing them to duck into a corner to confer on why this sounds so familiar to each other.

Teaching and Learning Moments

While talking, at least one of the three, likely Guinan, takes a moment to look at Dumbledore and says, "Oh come on Albus, You were manipulating an eleven-year-old to take on a jumped-up pretender, really," adding a layer of humor and truth to the conversation.

They also decide to share their favorite songs and jokes, with Yoda likely to end up sulking in a corner as a moody drunk, while the others continue to bond over their shared stories and experiences.

Conclusion

The meeting at Ten-Foward is not just a casual get-together but a place where complex conversations and deep thoughts converge. It highlights the timeless struggles and ethical dilemmas that three of the most powerful wizards face, even in their off-duty moments.
