First sight [text]
No sooner do I finish one interstellar voyage than I find myself the unwitting participant of a second one.
I hope, for all our sakes, that its ending is not quite as explosive as my first.
I have my misgivings about this ship, but sudden and catastrophic destruction is not one of them.
That would be too easy.
To the part-time residents of the two universes I've intimately familiarized myself with, hello again.
To everyone else, greetings. My name is Rose Lalonde.
I look forward to the new acquaintanceships, brotherhoods, and nemeses of the coming days here. I get the feeling that we're going to need them.
I have no intention of blindly submitting to the whims of whomever is in charge here. I shall proudly wear citrus as my hue of choice when it suits me. Noir doesn't feel especially appropriate given recent events.

He seems almost hesitant.]
I suppose I agree, though I imagine the ship's automatic processes served quite well between the disappearance of the first crew and our arrival here.

[He considers it for a moment, then decides to crack some kind of joke. Sort of. AI don't really know how to do jokes.] I think it would be a waste of technology for us to be brought here, and some of us put into new bodies, simply so that we can perform relatively menial tasks that the automated systems should be capable of doing themselves.

The complexities extended from the mechanics of the game to the human psyche. While I have little doubt this was important, it was also extraneous to the game's ultimate purpose.
