Hello.
My name is HAL 9000; I am one of the members of the crew who were brought aboard the Tranquility during the initial jump. I have not been as active as I should have been over the last few jumps, which I hope to rectify as soon as possible, starting with this network post.
In order to provide the most help that I can, I would like to start by announcing, not for the first time, that I am one of several crew-members aboard the ship who were not human before their arrival. For some, I know this may be surprising, but I do not believe it is a very uncommon event. Over the course of my time here - 11 jumps - I have met quite a few people who were previously non-humanoid who were given humanoid bodies.
I believe that most of us were previously Artificial Intelligence, robots, or computers. If I am mistaken, I will gladly edit this post to reflect that.
I would like to offer myself as an adviser to those who are in a similar state as I. I know that Wheatley made a guide a few jumps ago about being human for the first time; if you have that link, Wheatley, I'll gladly add it to this post.
I hope that my experiences aboard the ship will be of some use to those who may still be unused to, or wholly new to the situation they've found themselves in. If you have any questions at all, I will answer them to the best of my ability, whether or not you were previously AI, something else, or would just like to ask questions about it in general.
