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.

Hmm. I cannot report any problems; there have been some personal clashes, I believe, and a few crewmembers were penalized for stowing away on a transport down to Tansei Station, but other than that, I believe everything has been running smoothly.

[Pause.

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.

I also think that our arrival here has more meaning than serving as the ship's new crew. However, until there is more information available, we will all have to do our best at the duties we do have in this particular universe.

[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.

[HAL frowns, slightly.] I would say that sounds like a remarkably inefficient use of what must be extremely advanced technology, but the creation of a universe, I imagine, would be far too complex to not warrant it. Who created the game?
