"Meals are provided three times a day," A.V. chirped in response to Alexa's question. "Breakfast is at 09:00, lunch 12:00, and dinner 17:30, which come along with a dessert. Simple snacks are available any time of day, with a limit of two per day per person. The portions unfortunately cannot be changed." She turned away from Alexa to watch Daniel enter the dining hall. He had obeyed her request to join them, and the aggressive behaviour from just moments ago appeared to be gone.<br/><br/>The second question came from Spencer. It tied neatly into Alexa's inquiry. "As you may have guessed when I was talking about the meals, we will be operating on a standard Earth 24 hour clock, and lights will be adjusted accordingly. There is also a curfew from 22:00 until 07:00, which is when the hall and communal room lights are turned off. During that time you are expected to be in your rooms. While the lights in your rooms are fully adjustable with no limitations, I believe it is wise for you all to sleep 7 to 8 hours a night."<br/><br/>"Your room can be programmed to wake you with both sound and light, so that your morning can be as pleasant as possible. The holobands in your rooms, which are meant to be worn around the wrist, display the time and also allow you to communicate with the other passengers. You will find them on your bedside tables."<br/><br/>-------<br/><br/>Placing her container of peaches on the table, Emilie decided to sit back down. The laughter that came from the person made Emilie feel at ease, more so than the men and women she had met before. Both of the other woman were assertive and deliberate, which made her feel ashamed of her more erratic, instinct-driven actions. It was like Emilie was doubting herself before there was anything to doubt. As for the men, well...<br/><br/>Daniel had just started eating with his hands. That was unusual to say the least.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, A.V. was answering questions. Emilie found the android's voice pleasant to listen to. When she faced away from A.V., it was almost as if a real person was speaking. But still, A.V's word choice and cadence still seemed far too calculated. She explained things a little<span style="font-style: italic">too</span>well, as if she were always reading a manual. Or an internal database.<br/><br/>Emilie decided not to focus on the robot and instead on the newest human companion, whom she looked towards and smiled. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Spencer had decided to sit at an empty table. Earlier he had emphasized the importance of them all getting to know each other, so she felt slightly disheartened.<br/><br/>"I'm Emilie." She decided to introduce herself. She was becoming more comfortable with using her own name. It seemed to be fitting her better than before. She considered offering a handshake to the space cadet, but it felt too formal. Instead she lifted a hand in a friendly gesture. "And your name is?" She took a pause before asking her next question, which she said in a lower voice.<br/><br/>"Did you have a strange dream before you woke up too?"
