{Data Stream 5} - Well isn't that interesting

[hisoldgirl]

It is one thing for there to be live animals aboard my interior. I have entire rooms dedicated to certain species. But I have never heard of a human passenger vessel carrying living animals. How very strange, if intriguing.

They certainly never carried anything with this variety before. [watches a deer canter by.] Usually just horses, maybe a few cows and chickens, but that depends on which of the eras of human sea travel we're talking about.

[hisoldgirl]

Have you any idea as to the cause?

[bit_impossible]

Of the high leakage of fauna about the ship? Well, it's just a guess, but I'd say the Enviro-dome is to blame. It's the only place here with the live animals and ever since the blast, the containment units went kaput.

Well, I suspect that a lot more than that went kaput, including the climate control...

[hisoldgirl]

Even so, why would a passenger vessel have so many creatures within it? It is illogical and nonsensical.

[thinks about that for a second] Mmm, for sport, most likely. No matter what century we're in, humans will always have a love for the hunt, be it for the newest and greatest piece of technology or the classics, like...the buck with the greatest set of antlers... [watches one of those go by, calling for the doe that'd went by moments before]

But how would they process the carcasses? I see no proper disposal facilities, not to mention the dangers of giving confined humans deadly weapons.

...Normally, I'd say the crew would do a daily rubbish pick up, but since there's no crew, and the artificial life forms around here are...unreliable, to say the least, it's no surprise there's nothing around for such a purpose.

The weapons, on the other hand...the humans here have been safe when using them, thankfully.

The need for a crew is terribly archaic, do you not agree?

I do not trust them.
