ONBOARDING.
[Upon arrival, all passengers will wake in their assigned cabins, and upon regaining consciousness, will be greeted by a voice in their heads. It's a warm voice, kind and gentle, mellifluous, impossible to distinguish gender from the sound of it.]
Welcome aboard, passenger. Please don't be alarmed - I am the Navigator, and I'm here to assist you. I'm afraid you're probably a long way from your home - all of those currently on board aren't where they're supposed to be, and I'm not entirely sure as to how you all came to be on board. But I'm doing what I can to locate the home planets of my current passengers, and I'd like to ask for your help, too.
What will aid me the most in finding the way to your home planets is if you'll work together with the other passengers. My people thrive on the emotional bonds created between ourselves and our passengers, and between the passengers themselves. The emotional bonds forged through partnership are the strongest and most beneficial - harmony, compassion, trust. It's not a requirement, of course, but it's to everyone's benefit to work together, both with me and with each other.
I imagine you'll have questions. I'll do my best to answer them, if I can.
[New passengers will note a glyph symbol marked on the back of their dominant hand, and they have been implanted with a universal speech translation modification, which is impossible to locate and cannot be removed.

No. I've never heard of such a thing among my people. In fact, the only time I've felt any differently about anyone is with my passengers. I believe you are all what you refer to as family. Does that mean you are all my lovers also?
no subject
N-No, it's a very exclusive term. I'm sure if someone considered themselves your, um, lover, they'd tell you. It's more like a mate.
no subject
[You know that lightbulb-switching-on feeling you get when something finally makes sense? That's what Navi's feeling right now.]
My people don't mate.
no subject
[ A least, in Dick's opinion.
He takes off a glove to feel the appendage draped across his lap, seeing if Navi likes the gentle scratch of nails or not. ]
I bet in different circumstances you'd be a real heartthrob!
no subject
What is a heartthrob? I don't think I've ever heard that term before.
