COMMENCE VOYAGE
Fun Fact: Did you know the Atlantic Ocean has a surface area of 41.1 million square miles? No reason.
...
There's something uneasy in the air as you come to.
Well, "come to" is an interesting word in this case. It implies waking up, which is not exactly what happens. None of you are in beds, nor are you really asleep in the traditional sense. One moment you're somewhere else, doing something else with your time, and the next? You're somewhere on board a massive cruise ship - maybe lounging on a deck chair by the pool, maybe getting some Gains in the exercise room, maybe enjoying the tasteful décor in the buffet - and you have no idea how you got here or how you might get back. This is not your beautiful house. If you have a beautiful wife, she isn't here.
What you do have, apart from 25 other unlucky souls, is a small smartphone-like device in your pocket with only a handful of things on it: a clock reading 11PM, a pdf of a ticket in your name on a special Atlantic Liners New Year's Eve Cruise, an app labeled Passenger Profiles with some basic information on your traveling companions, and a message:
Welcome aboard, passenger! Please feel free to partake of any of the facilities while you wait for the big event! Remember: when midnight comes, you better make your way to the theatre at the back of Level 1 for the main event! The Captain and the First Mate will be there to take care of you all personally, and to help you ring in the new year in style!
Well, that's a start. But what you do until then, it seems, is up to you!

Much more solid than I had expected. It looks like something I could easily break.

[He'll step aside. He's curious to see what happens here, actually.]
no subject
[Shard takes a second to get into a runner's starting position, and- once Data's safely out of the way- revs into a spinning ball and screeches towards the locked gate.]
[And bounces off with a loud clatter, sprawling on the floor on his back.]
...That usually works. Figures.
no subject
Our captors doubtless prepared for all of our respective abilities. It would not do to go to the trouble of kidnapping us all, only for you or I to immediately break free.
[Or break into this thing, at least, but it seems like they could probably have a good shot at subduing whoever's done this if they could get at them.]
If I may ask...you are a robot?
no subject
[He picks himself up and gives the lock another tug in case that at least loosened it or something, but no dice.]
So are you, going by those profiles they've got on all of us, right?
no subject
[So this is??? Really great?????? or would be if he had emotions, blah blah whatever, but Data seems quite glad to meet Shard in a sort of subdued way, if you aren't an asshole about it.]
Are there very many of your kind, where you are from?

no subject
[and like was Lore a meaningful connection? he should've been, maybe, but no he had to love murder
also obviously he isn't deeply lonely bc that's an EMOTION lol]
A scientist is currently attempting to replicate my positronic net, but I doubt that he will be successful any time soon. Most of my creator's notes and research were lost.
no subject
[Eggman's research getting lost might be more of a boon than anything, if anyone could manage it.]
This scientist someone you trust?
no subject
[Data probably doesn't really know how to intentionally load a sentence.]
I only met my father once before he passed. But I believe he was a good man. [Data he sucked]
