[Hello, Tranquility! I hope you enjoy pleasant AI-turned-human conversation, because that's what you're getting.]
Hello, Tranquility. My name is HAL 9000, and I am a former Artificial Intelligence who was given a human body as of the last jump. I am aware of there being a few others in a similar situation as me, but I thought it would be appropriate to extend a greeting to anyone who is new to the ship and this situation. If you have recently found yourself in a humanoid body where before you were a robot, an animal, or a computer, please do not be alarmed. You are not alone on this ship or in this situation.
[He considers something for a moment before continuing.] Dr. John Watson had been helping those of us who were transplanted into humanoid bodies before this most recent jump, and assuming he is still willing to counsel non-humanoid persons, I think it would be a good idea to speak with him.
Though I am by no means accustomed to this body yet, I will also gladly help wherever I can, if anyone finds themselves in need of assistance.
[Pause. Another smile.] Thank you for your time.

[ Oh. God. Well. Best prepare for that. ]
I'm sure it'll be insightful.
As for me, I can't complain.
[ Yes, he can. But he won't. Spot on with the workload bit, HAL. ]
I'm glad to hear you're doing well. You look well.
Do you have any plans on what you'll be getting up to? I don't know if you've got a job on the ship yet or not. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to talk to you sooner.
