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!

It does seem as though they want us to get to know one another. Curious.

[Constantine rubs his chin, frowning lightly at Data and glancing out towards the dark ocean horizon.]
You're a robot, yeah? You happen to have a star map stuffed in that positronic brain of yours?
no subject
[maybe this is a holodeck episode]
no subject
At least we're moving away from Florida. Can you imagine?

[He pauses for effect, looking over his shoulder as if checking if there's anyone eavesdropping. Then, he leans forward, lowering his voice to a mock whisper.]
...Florida Man.
[He hopes that incites some sort of reaction in Data.]
