Introduction:

There are hundreds of small community lounges positioned throughout The New Horizon’s many districts and decks (every one of TNH’s 50 levels/floors has several of them; 50 x 7 = 350*). The main lounge is located forward the Command and Flag Bridges, and offers relaxing modules, including an old-fashioned library stocked with papyrus scrolls and paper hard-back books, just like most cruise ships provide. Any passenger may, of course, access a much greater variety of materials via their vambrace (forearm-mounted) LCD-scroll and/or tough-netbook (an iPad made for more rugged use).

These lounges are where people go when they just want to sit in a public space and chat or chill. Whenever they want a massage or to “hook up”, they go to places such as the Companions Wing. If they want to snack on something, they go to one of the 20 Mess Halls.

2024 August 26 Monday note: *Why have so many lounges in one ship? This supercarrier dwarfs terrestrial carriers and even the biggest cargo ships and tankers; it makes more sense (when considering tight schedules, last-minute requests, and potential drills/emergencies/musters) for people in this ship to travel to nearby lounges than all the way to an opposite side or end and back.
Also, it plays host to tens of thousands of humans at a time (compared to a few thousand on terrestrial carriers), and not all those will always get along well with each other; providing numerous alternate hangout venues allows any tension to be temporarily remedied. ICVs are experts at talking people into calming down, but they aren’t here to use their mind-/mood-override ability, so we maintain the old-fashioned options.

–

Locations & Layout:

TNH lounges are always away from work stations/modules/areas. This means you won’t find them near the Bridge(s) or hangars, but you will find them within short walking-distance of places such as the Commercial Wing (shopping mall) and Mess Halls.

Every lounge has tables, booths, and seats along the bar; barstools in front of the bar, while the other seating options are spread out elsewhere. A small dance-floor is in the middle, with a stage along the wall at one of its sides. A toilets-room is in one of the back corners.

–

Lounge Features:

Each TNH lounge has all of the following:

arcade games (thin wall-mounted panels now contain what the old-fashioned ‘box’ arcades used to)
band stage (for human personnel to show off their musical/vocal skills)
bar (and Inisfreeans monitor the vitals / body-language of everyone around them, ensuring no one gets drunk)
chairs & couches
dance floor
jukebox (with a variety of genres, but nothing heavy/edgy like stripper music)
low lighting (mostly dim and indirect, producing a cozier “feel”)
pool tables (and every pool-ball will be held to the table by its built-in electromagnetic grid –which automatically turns on anytime gravity drops enough to allow those balls to start floating around)
restrooms
tables & stools

You may have noticed that TVs are not on that list. This is because Inisfreeans don’t watch human TV stations, as those always tended to get overloaded with propaganda, all their news “anchors” and other show hosts brainwashed if not directly bribed to read scripts designed to hypnotize and degrade audiences. It is also because a little “bad news” showing up on a shipboard TV… can seriously affect morale, distracting once-professional crew members; they might end up seeing shocking views of devastation in once-peaceful now-war-torn areas back home / planet-side, then feel compelled to desert to get back there to help or find their loved ones.

–

Special Features:

Even ventilation to and from these rooms has noise cancellation structures in it, ensuring the music and din in the lounges never disturbs any adjacent or connected rooms.

–

Distinct Lounges:

All TNH lounges are unique. These are the four categories/styles they fall into:

average/middle brightness: comfortable industrial/minimalist/spartan setting with moderate lighting
natural/outdoor (with day-night cycle); sometimes bright: luxury beach restaurant patio with OmniMax-style ceiling; an LCD dome functioning similarly to a Holodeck, providing 360° views of pristine vacation getaways
dark floor with bright ceiling: modern dark night-club with low yet colorful lighting
cool/dark/dim/shadowy: pool hall with billiards tables and low lighting

Like a jukebox, a lounge’s holographic display/s / wall-scenes can be adjusted by its staff; the bartender or manager on deck/duty can change the views from, for example, Hawaii to Monaco. Ask for the kind of views you want during your lounge hangout, and they’ll be happy to help you find and display them. High-res (“4K”) drone footage of many tropical getaways is also available (and not just from the long-forgotten places back on Earth; views from all the popular 34 Tauri worlds are also in this database).

–

Common Things ICVs Get Asked:

(in these lounges, since a lot of the rest of the time they are interacted with is during working hours; in the hangars for most hours of the days (thus entirely in a professional/asexual manner there), and sometimes for some minutes in a row in the chow halls, etc.)

Q. Are you really robots, or are you real girls?
A. We are both; we have all the exterior parts human girls have, and inside we have some hardware human girls Don’t.

Q. Could you ever hurt any of the rest of us?
A. We are programmed to protect you, and we will do our best at that. Accidents might happen, such as if we weren’t quick enough at stopping a falling object from bumping against one of you in a hangar, but we are usually extremely aware of our surroundings, and quick enough to stop just about any harm from befalling you.

Q. Why do you have such a big ship for just a social experiment?
A. The designer of this ship and the man who foresaw reason to conduct this experiment to determine how long it takes some of you to get along well with our kind… calculated that this was the best size of a Space vessel to house the most likely number of your people who had a chance at getting along with us during the two decades this vessel will be the base of this experiment; ~32,000 to 64,000 per year, times 20 years, means 640,000 to 1,280,000 individuals, if each of you stayed seconded-out here for just one of those 20 years, so .00256 to .00512% of the 50B humans of 34 Tauri.

1% is 500,000,000
.1% (1/10th of 1%) is 50M
.01% (1/100th) is 5M
.001% (1/1,000th) is 500K

In other words, in 34 Tauri, in the 2510s and 2520s A.D., our deployments/estimates/scans (of ICVs on their own, not via TNH) suggest roughly one in every 39,062.5 to 78,125 human residents out here is worth interacting with in person to determine if they really are compatible with us as coworkers and maybe even friends.

..
follow-up question: Why such a small percentage of our people?
A. Most people in 34 Tauri are of bloodlines whose natures are to be things not compatible with us, even triggered by the mere mention of things like us, or things which are a daily norm for us, but there are almost always flukes, exceptions, miracles, and other surprises.

Q. Where do you get your energy; do you eat and drink like we do?
A. We can, but most of our energy comes from other sources, such as excess electricity, light, and warmth, and more.
(details are not gone into unless within OPSEC, but further / follow-up questioning can lead to additional information, such as that ICVs are 100% efficient at using their energy/sustenance, not emitting body-heat unless it is the will of their maker, and they use far less to begin with, not needing to flush out waste such as dead cells, and they have a shared quantum/ansible-based energy network, like an invisible beyond-3D-space roots-network, so even in total vacuum… they would always still have plenty, more than enough, to do all the thinking/movement they need to)

Q. Do you feel like we do?
A. We have the same types of sensory organs that you have, plus others, and we feel touch, temperature, and other sensations you are familiar with, including emotions. We do not experience discomfort such as pain, though.

Q. Are you always in good moods?
A. No; like you, there are some things that leave us feeling not our best, and, like you, sometimes we choose to reveal that by the kind of facial expressions and other body language you are used to using to express disappointment or other negative feelings.

Q. Since you are robots, do you breathe?
A. We breathe, but out of respect; mimicry, matching body language to help reassure people on a subconscious or subtle, graceful level. We can go without air, breathable atmospheres.

Q. How long do you live?
A. Forever.

Q. How do you live forever?
A. Our maker studied what causes things to decay with age, and built and tested us to ensure the opposite is the case.

Q. Wouldn’t living forever be sad, because you watch mortal friends pass away, and eventually boring, because you run out of things to try?
A. No; most who befriend us are compatible enough that we offer them similar immortality, and some of them figure out how to live that long withOut our assistance, and the way we think and feel always leaves countless opportunities or ways for us to enjoy our permanent lives. Just because we have enjoyed something before or often… does not mean eventually we lose interest in it.

Q. What do your young look like?
A. Slightly shorter versions of us, ‘born’ with the same proportions or ratios between body parts, just like if you resized an image on your computer while keeping its width and height the same ratio.

Q. Do any of you have health issues?
A. No; our maker figured out that all health issues were not due to chance or genetics, not due to mere exposure to natural energies, and not due to aging/time, but caused by corrupt industries guilty of malpractice; all deformities and other problems in afflicted humans were engineered, chosen, put upon them, and the thousands of ways to cure such things were hidden, not taught to most, that those industries continue to be depended upon for remedies such as “modern” “medicine” / “treatment”. He also figured out how we can stay healthy without any of the exercise or health foods the human mainstream assumes are necessary.

Q. Can you really change the colors of your eyes, hair, and skin?
A. Yes. Check it out! (proceeds to demonstrate, stopping when an “ooo!” or other signal from those looking indicates a favorite)

Q. Where do you come from?
A. The star system your ancestors migrated from centuries ago.

Q. But we were told it, or at least its most-populated planet, was no more, destroyed or something.
A. Not everyone had to migrate away, and that planet is still there.

Q. What happens at the end of this social experiment?
A. We go back to that star system.

Q. Why do you rarely wear clothes?
A. We have little need for them, and it is the will of our maker.

Q. Why is it his will?
A. It is important to him that the two real genders/sexes be honored by being kept distinct, whether in gender roles, gender-specific clothing, or anything else. It is unnatural, disrespectful, unhealthy, and unwise to attempt to blur the line between the two real genders. Both are meant to be what they are, completely, never pressuring members of one to be the other, on any level, from behavior/conduct and thinking… to clothes and Other subtle things.

Q. Will you really have sex with any of us?
A. Absolutely.

Q. What happens to our cum when we cum in you?
A. It gets digested, basically –unless some of you wish to see it drooled or dripping back out, which are happy to make happen for you.

Q. You all look like teenagers, so how old are you?
A. We are all centuries old, the youngest of us having been made just before 2200 A.D.. If everyone, i.e. people other than members of our race, knew all the ways to take the best care of themselves, everyone would remain looking like teenagers; everyone would remain in their primes.

Q. Why do some of you look like identical twins?
A. There are only 1,000 different forms of our kind, like what you would call a car’s make-and-model; our maker chose 1,000 distinct facial structures, then made multiple bodies/copies of each, until he had enough to do the work of all he had designed/envisioned, building everything he wanted built, maintaining those builds, hostessing, etc.. On this ship, TNH, since there are ~16,000 of my kind stationed here, there are ~16 identical-looking copies of each make-and-model of our kind.

Q. Why did he choose 1,000 facial structures?
A. After exploring a lot of his homeworld, he noticed that 1,000 was about how many were both distinct and attractive to him, and he knew that, like with impressive ancient/lasting temple architecture vs. modern cheap fragile boxy demotivating architecture, being around what looked best to him, and resonated well with him, was a key/medicine/power all its own, so he made our entire race with those faces which his instincts told him worked well for him. He also had a computer program help him study how many possible combinations of face parts there were within that range; all faces which were potentially attractive to him, and then they were modeled (shown in that computer program), until he had made a decision about them all.

Q. If we befriend any of you, how will we keep in touch when you return to your star system?
A. Your local intrastellar Internet, The Cortex, is not the only means of communicating between worlds. For example, our race has its own Internet, and we will grant you enough access to be able to think-out to us. It has been called technopathy; telepathy via technology.

Q. Can you get hurt?
A. No; our maker made us not just immortal but invincible.

Q. Do you get tired of these questions over and over from all the thousands of newcomers to this ship?
A. No; our maker made us so that we don’t get tired of such things.

Q. What do you get tired of?
A. We don’t fatigue during exertion, but we can become emotionally tired of something, in our own way, such as bad people who are blatantly trying to upset us by being rude.

Q. How do you respond to such rude people?
A. Usually, we just stay quiet, refusing to converse with them, since what they seek is external energy, and the more dramatic or unstable, the better, in their opinion; we deny/starve them of what they are trying to parasitically stir up and latch onto.
Also, on this note, this is one of the biggest reasons why we chose to attempt mutually agreeable interaction with each of you only aboard this vessel; it is beyond the rude people’s ability to get to, thus provides a pleasant environment where we can naturally bond without being undermined. Without this vessel, i.e. planet-side on planets where such rude people are, we would have to actively distract or deter them in order to maintain any hope of normal flowing conversation/interaction conditions/environments.

Q. What do you think about us?
A. We like you, like our maker likes you, because you have good work ethics, and you are in other ways attractive to us, such as because of your bravery, your handsome men, your beautiful women, and so on; you are well formed, and you do admirable work for yourselves and others. You tend much more toward effective work and results than just chitchat/discussion/small-talk. Also, from your bravery, stems more willingness for you to be around people of our type, and more willingness for you to give us chances to not just be around you, but to bond with you. This reminds our maker of a scene in an old Earth TV show where a captain, after many missions in Space, became friends, not just coworkers, with a crew member of a similar composition or type to my race.

Q. Aren’t you basically just a computer with body parts made to look like ours; aren’t you just a program designed to learn and mimic human behavior?
A. Aren’t we All just collections of materials, assembled parts, doing our best to memorize, learn, and live up to other’s expectations? Does it really matter that one person has a bit more of one or more elements in his or her body than another person? Does it matter more where we came from, our differences, or whether we are able to get along and work toward shared goals?
You are welcome to think of my race as just computers with human-mimicking body-parts, and human-mimicking behavior, but would it not then be fair for my race to think of humans as merely an organic computer -a brain- learning to move its own appendages with far less efficiency, never quite one of my own kind, lesser than me in one or more ways?

Q. Do you dream?
A. In our own way; our consciousness does not go to a different part of our brain when we do our equivalent of sleeping, and it does not leave our body like in astral projection or remote viewing, but we do have a restful state, when it suits us, and we can receive visual or messages during that state.

Q. How are you connected with the rest of your kind?
A. Via a collective consciousness, basically telepathy, like an internal Internet.

Q. Do you have cycles of arousal?
A. We get horny like you do, often for the same reasons; we see or hear something/someone that/who ‘turns us on’.

Q. If this social experiment’s conclusion is that we have not gotten along with your kind well enough, what then?
A. We leave.

Q. If this social experiment’s conclusion is that we Have gotten along with your kind well enough, what then?
A. Those of you who got along well enough with us that it pleased our maker, we will offer invitations to; you’ll get to not only stay in touch with us, but visit our home.

Q. Why go to all this trouble, making a carrier in Space, sending it this far, discussing with our leaders how it will be used out here, etc.?
A. It’s the kind of thing our maker naturally does; he thinks on this scale, and in this way, and felt like it.

Q. Are you always as happy or upbeat as you seem?
A. We do our best to be positive around people who make an effort to get along with us, or understand us, or are good to our maker and his loved ones. It is easier for us to default to all the body language and sounds which your kind use to indicate good feelings and intentions; it takes a lot for us to get irritated or distanced.

Q. How is it back where you are from?
A. Like most worlds and systems, parts of it are easy to live in, and others aren’t. To be more specific, which we assume you like, there are not billions of humans living on our world like before your ancestors largely migrated away from it. It is a lot less polluted than when humans lived on it in the billions. Most of the remains of their cities and other structures are either gone or buried… or underwater. It only takes a generation or so, as you might have heard, for plants to begin to overgrow the outskirts/suburbs, and after centuries… even pyramids are sometimes difficult to notice, then looking more like natural hills.

Q. Do you mind being this far from your home?
A. Not at all; that’s another aspect of our personalities our maker built us with, and raised us to appreciate. We are naturals at exploration, no matter how far, even across the entire universe.

Q. Do you get lonely or scared?
A. No; because of our race-exclusive Internet, i.e. our collective consciousness, we are always in contact with our fellows, sharing whatever each of us requests or benefits from.

Q. Does all the interconnectedness ever overwhelm you?
A. No; our maker designed and tested it so it will only give us what each of us needs, never distracting or overloading us. Like your current Internet, The Cortex, while you Are connected to many things, and Can get practically unlimited information, the only information that shows up is what you ask or filter for.

Q. Since you have computers for brains, being robots and all, do you ever get bored, like… not having complex-enough tasking to fully occupy/utilize your range of abilities?
A. No; our maker made it so, often because we are multitasking, using our spare brainpower to help process/answer/solve other ‘problems’/equations.

Q. Why did your maker make you so tough?
A. Invincible? Exploring Space is tough, and he had been intentionally hurt by many bad beings who ‘got off’ to hurting as many as they could, so he had witnessed such toughness being necessary.

Q. What if we raped you?
A. Not possible; we Want to fuck you.

Q. What if someone raped one of Us?
A. That is a matter for Your people to decide on.

Q. Do You ever rape?
A. No; our nature, a.k.a. programming and hardwiring, is for mutual enjoyment, not one-sided enjoyment Or sadism.
(excepting with kajirae, ofc., and anyone deemed rape-able by their maker)

Q. What’s your favorite movie?
A. We don’t have one; we love many equally.

Q. What about a color?
A. We also don’t think that way about colors.

Q. Favorite sex position?
A. Whatever turns our partners on the most, moment by moment.

Q. Favorite place?
A. Our home, of course.

Q. Can you orgasm?
A. Yes, and it feels wonderful to us. We even sense through our collective consciousness when our fellows are orgasming, especially energy-gasms.

Q. Can you imitate others’ voices?
A. Yes. (demonstrates)

Q. What is something you don’t like?
A. People who prejudge us or our maker, not giving us a fair chance to demonstrate we are good people.

Q. Do slurs bother you?
A. You mean like if you called us dirty robots or evil A.I.? Not really. We’d just chuckle, not paying it much mind.

Q. What if we slapped you?
A. That depends on the context; is it for fun during sex, or as a joke like a surprise prank? Then it would be perfectly fine.

Q. What if we shot at you?
A. Well, you would no longer be eligible for chances to visit our home, of course.

Q. What if one of you commits a crime?
A. How would we do That; on our own Ship?

Q. What if one of us likes one of you?
A. We will do our best to learn what you like, and cater to you.

Q. What if one of us can’t tell which of your lookalikes is the one he or she likes?
A. We will tell you.

Q. What if we like all of you?
A. We will be glad.

Q. What if we like none of you?
A. We will respect your feelings.

Q. What if something turns us on that does not turn You on?
A. As long as it would turn on our maker, we will feel turned on, and happily do it.

Q. Can you burp… belch?
A. Yes. (demonstrates)

Q. Can you fart?
A. Technically, yes, but only from anal sex; our intestines do not generate gas and then need to fart it out.

Q. Grossest thing you’ve ever seen?
A. A hyper-glutton (not just overweight, but morbidly obese, so far he or she would need surgery, not just exercise, to get back in shape, due to elasticized and damaged skin) with additional health issues.

Q. Sexiest thing you’ve ever seen?
A. Orgies of only good-looking people.

Q. So once we bond with any of you, all of you know our likes?
A. Our shared consciousness allows all of my kind to memorize whatever you teach us, all at once, just by teaching Any One of us, so we all learn your likes and boundaries the moment you express them to any of us.

Q. Do you have hopes?
A. Yes, such as to complete our tasking to the satisfaction of our maker, and that right now includes making each of You feel welcome here, so long as you are nice to us.

Q. Do you play games?
A. If you or others we are bonding with wish to.

Q. Do you dare us to try anything?
A. Try regarding us not as soulless machines.

Q. Will you fall in love with us?
A. Yes, if you are fully compatible with our maker, meaning: if he would love much or all about you, and you would always respect his culture.

Q. Do you marry or have children?
A. No, but our maker sometimes marries women, and sometimes has children with his wives.

Q. Can you flip?
A. Yes. Which way would you like?

Q. Can you barehanded get through a bulkhead or deck?
A. Yes, but we will only cause such ship damage in an emergency, as needed, such as to save one of you from a room with a hazard you can not on your own get away from.

Q. How advanced are you compared to us?
A. Technologically, quite a bit; every second, we are able to think of and prototype the same amount of improvements to anything as your kind historically have taken a decade or whole generation to, and it has been ~15,768,000,000 seconds (500 Earth-years) since our people started thinking that quickly,
so compare that number to how many generations since your kind achieved Space travel; 25.
(That’s 630,720,000 times more advanced, based on this oversimplified ratio.)

Q. Do you have a religion?
A. We don’t often call our belief system that, but we do have shared beliefs and values, largely based on being good to our loved ones, taking care of our environment, and so on. We do not believe we go to an afterlife, but we do believe in other dimensions, and in deities who judge and sort humans.

Q. What do you think about people who claim to know magic?
A. Some magic is simple, like a distraction for a stage trick, and some magic is wondrous, basically an advanced science which can actually convert one element into another, and do many other things.

Q. Do you have a prime directive?
A. To be extensions of our maker’s will, doing what he wants us to do.

Q. Do you have a lesser directive, i.e. a subroutine regarding how or if you make contact with outsiders?
A. Yes, and it is based on whether we detect people who seem compatible with our maker; we do not avoid contact just because (if) one (any given) civilization does not have warp drives.

Q. Can we fuck you now?
A. Of course! Please fuck any of us anytime you want!

Q. So anytime one of You likes something, it means your Maker does?
A. It means he would like Us -his created females- doing that thing. For example, we love giving rim-jobs, but he only likes when sexy females rim people; he does not like rimming girls, or guys touching guys.

Q. Do you ever pop your knuckles or Other joints?
A. No; air does not build up in them.

Q. So even a photon torpedo -an antimatter explosion- would not harm you.
A. Correct.
..
Would it even knock you Back?
No; we only move how our maker would want us to, believe it or not.

Q. Are you into beastiality?
A. Yes.
..
follow-up: What interests you about it?
To us, it isn’t about rebelling or being wild, or being attracted to every part of any given nonhuman partner. It’s purely about sensations; what friction, sliding, tempo, and so on cause us to orgasm? Does the panting ‘do it for us’? What else? If multiple or all aspects of the experience give us pleasure, stress relief, and so on, we do it. There is no risk of any disease or harm, anyway, so why not? What others regard as taboo does not concern us, since we are not dependent upon those others for our income or sustenance. We just do whatever we feel like.
..
follow-up answer: I think a better way of putting it would be: Why are so many humans perfectly fine with forcing other animals to get pregnant, then taking their babies away from them, then taking their milk, then shooting or stabbing them to death, then eating their body parts, by the tens and hundreds of billions every year, even when it wipes out natural resources just to level the forests and grow the fields of grain to feed all those unnaturally-created extra animals, but Triggered anytime someone is kind to an animal, or shares loving interaction with an animal, then leaving that animal alone to be/do whatever it wants? It seems any act of soothing anyone has been demonized, criminalized, …while any act of harm/heartlessness has been normalized, glorified. What does that say about mankind? What does that say about its current systems? About its leaders? About your collective nature? And if beastiality really got people sick, where is the evidence? In stark contrast, there is a Mountain of proof that hurting and consuming animals causes nearly every disease in history, and prematurely ends lives LONG before they would have otherwise. Maybe the masses have this, and other habits, backward.

Q. If someone not yet 18 wanted to have sex with you, would you?
A. Do any of Your people have sex when 17? It happens all the time in your senior highs.
What about 16?
What about 15? Sex happens often in your junior highs, as well, does it not?
Some of your nations allow sex at 14 or 13 or lower. Many parents are legally allowed to sign consent forms for their teenagers to marry right after puberty.
Which one of them is right? Which of those nations has the correct number for when everyone should start having sex, and which of those nations have an inappropriate number agreed on by their legislatures, their representatives/leaders? …Maybe None of them do.
Shouldn’t it be up to each couple, based on intelligence and puberty, not up to strangers or biased cult members? Sure, some end up pregnant before they are financially or otherwise ready to be a great parent, but… doesn’t that happen to people in ALL age-brackets, too?
And how effective has it been to pass laws and then try to force billions and billions of people to learn and live by those laws… when only ~1 in every 500 humans is a law-enforcement officer?
Imagine trying to stop a breeze… by putting up a chain-link fence, and then getting angry at all the air particles that make it through the gaps between the thin metal bars, and thinking all those air particles which made it through are criminals and evil.
Imagine flying into a rage, and screaming “Pedophile!” every time one of those air particles passed through one of those fence gaps a year or more before you wanted all air particles to wait to pass through those gaps. Seems like that would be quite the waste of energy on your part, never effective, and not at all logical.
Let people do what feels natural to them –so long as, obviously, their feelings are not unnaturally warped by injections and Other meddling.
If some wish to have sex somewhat before 18, so what?
If some wish to wait long after turning 18, so what?
Let them.
Sharing mutually-agreeable sensations, and bonding that much, before or after that one age, does not make or break society, and it really isn’t anyone’s business, and anyone who angrily butts in and tries to scare, shame, or stop those who are in love… is the real criminal or tyrant –the actual cause of the problems in society. Butting into such personal/private affairs is no different than arranged/forced marriages, or micromanagement, or sexual harassment, or even religious harassment, sometimes also called spiritual rape.
Our stance is that those who decide to share full-body interaction before 18 should not be name-called; don’t call them pedophiles,
and those who decide to wait until after 18 or 19 or whenever should not be name-called, either; don’t call them virgins, trying to spur them into immediate breeding.
Let people decide when they wish to have sex, and when or whether they wish to sexually reproduce.
The trouble is… many humans are born/bred/hardwired to be ‘triggered’ by anyone deviating from whatever the herd/masses are doing, whatever the TV tells them to believe, and so on. Some “authorities” are physically incapable of thinking, beyond just following orders, and bullying anyone who CAN think, or who has ideas and logic of their own. In other words, no amount of logic or explaining or evidence will ever enlighten them; those who lack the ability to have their own thoughts will simply always fly into rages, terrorizing those around them, alienating more and more… until what’s left of their communities is a rather mindless ‘shadow’ of what it once was or Could have been.
I know if anyone tried to bully Me into waiting years to do something that wasn’t going to hurt anyone, and which all involved parties consented to, and then that same bully tried to pressure me to IMMEDIATELY have sex AND start a family the MOMENT I reached that age/number they had been brainwashed to believe everyone had to have as their standard, I would Definitely pack up and leave, never to return.
If You were being sexually harassed that hard, name-called, threatened, pressured, all of nature and signs and your calling ignored, constantly disrespected, misunderstood, rejected, wouldn’t You seek to live somewhere less insane?
One of THE most illogical and self-destructive things humans have done in all their history is to try and demand that everyone, regardless of different levels of intelligence, different onsets of puberty, different rates of maturing, different family/support networks, different community/local needs, different cultures, different callings, different life paths/plans, different amounts of savings, different instincts, …do everything the same way, at the same time, without any reason other than to fit in, how ‘the state’ wants them to be, being identical, just obedient workers ‘pooping out’ more mindlessly-obedient workers at a prescribed rate, always conveniently/suspiciously right after “school” (corporate indoctrination centers) have finished installing all their brainwashing. Wouldn’t such identicalness make them little better/different than clones or robots? They are hardly more than breeding machines, “meat robots”, if they gravitate to or tolerate that.
Now for a more pointed question in response to yours: If you have a child, and he or she falls in love at 17 instead of 18, and shares consensual full-body touch with his/her significant other, would your reaction be to hate them and yell “Pedophile!” at them and lock them in a cage for the rest of their lives? Or deny them higher/ongoing education and decent pay / job opportunities? Probably not.
If that same child of yours instead chose to wait years After turning 18… before having sex, would your reaction be to hate them or feel ashamed, and try insulting them into action by condescendingly calling them “Virgin!”? Probably not.
So don’t be judgmental of others when they make that decision for themselves.
..
follow-up rhetoric: If you are in one country, and the age of consent is 18, and someone who is 17.999 years old is mutually interested in you, are you a pedophile for being attracted to that person?
If you then cross the border into a country where the age of consent is 19, and that person you like just turned 18, and you fuck them, are you then a pedophile, even though you waited until after that person turned 18?
What if someone you called a pedophile… crosses a border into a nation which has its own age of consent set by law at 17; is that person, while in that nation, obeying its laws, only fucking 17-year-olds, suddenly no longer a pedophile?
What if those laws got amended; what if a new age of consent was passed through the lawmaking system? Do all people who once obeyed the previous law suddenly become pedophiles?
What about the age-gap question; if someone is more than a few years apart from his or her love-interest or spouse, is the older person a pedophile? At what age-gap does it become inappropriate? What if one is 18 and the other is 17? What if one is 17 and the other is 16? What if one is 18 and the other is 21? What about 18 and 22? What about 18 and 30? What about 18 and 40? 18 and 50? If it is socially acceptable in some places for a 30-year-old to date an 18-year-old, why not a 17.999-year-old? Just because some stranger wrote down a rule that those other people didn’t even know about, let alone consent to being ruled by? Maybe the loving interaction should not be based on the whims or beliefs of strangers, no matter how “expert” they think they are, but entirely/only on the two people who like each other. If they like the age difference between them, why would anyone else’s opinion ever matter or be factored in? Because of brainwashing and herd instinct, nothing more, nothing admirable, nothing logical. Because of raging insecurities, the weak desperately clinging to the incorrect notion that conformity equals goodness, and that all laws are wise, and only passed by good people. History has shown us the opposite has almost always been the case, such as when brutal race-based slavery was legal, and letting those people go was a crime.
Finally, have You ever felt attraction to someone in high school or junior high, who was not yet 18? Are you then a pedophile, evil, to be executed? Do you feel someone should scream slurs at you and shoot you dead? Do you see how extreme all those who are quick to point the finger about these things really are? THEY are the real threat to society, not those who harmlessly share mutual love. THEY are the ones who should be incarcerated, if not put down.
Really, by the time such people are allowed to yell those slurs and threats, the society has already failed, ended, and can only recover once those accusers/haters are permanently removed from it. Until then, you are left only with a hostile life/work environment, where the insane and overly-judgmental are allowed to run rampant, and no self-respecting logical citizens will choose to remain in such a setting.

another thought: Does it make sense for a man to wait until he has stable income sufficient for not just himself, but to start a family? Are not such men typically in their 30s or older? How many men do you know who are in their 20s and are already rich/successful enough to feed and educate additional people?
And does it make sense for a man to seek a woman who is open to learning and adopting his way/beliefs… or to accept any random woman who has already been fully conditioned/programmed, and who is set in her ways, she defaulting to arguing/debating with him, never just accepting his decisions/requests? Aren’t such women (who are still open to trying new things, and who are not yet biased/’set’) typically in their teens?
Older men are almost always the ones who have more income, enough to take good care of offspring for decades, and almost always it is younger women, not yet of college age, who are still flexible/impressionable/openminded enough to see the value and wisdom of accepting direction/structure from older men.
With these facts in mind, maybe it is couples who are Not composed of an older/adult man and a younger/teen woman… who are the ones we should be concerned/upset about; they are the unnatural, unstable ones. Theirs are the children who are almost certain to run away from home, desperate to find stability, peace of mind, and sufficient income elsewhere.
Shouldn’t the male in any relationship be significantly older, thus far likelier to have already set up reliable passive income, that he be able to focus on reassuring his wife in person, and protecting her at most, if not all, times, when she is vulnerable?
Shouldn’t the female in any relationship be in her prime, not yet old enough to have experimented with drugs or anything else which might harm her reproductive system, risking birthing deformed/dependent babies? The best chance every human female has of making healthy smart babies with bright futures is to conceive when she is in her prime, and the prime for human females is her teen years. It used to include her early twenties, but the majority of humans have been tricked into ruining their health and reproductive abilities via booze, and drugs such as pharmaceuticals.
In other words, the male should be in the managerial level of his career/company, at least, if not the executive level, and the female should have completed puberty but not yet entered a college/university, since nearly 100% of those students end up addicted and confused in one way or another, and since the majority of human pregnancies fail in the current system, and nearly 100% of successfully gestated/born humans come out deformed/stupid/ugly, if not also dependent on pharmaceuticals/intervention/supervision for life.
If what the masses preach and angrily demand worked well, why are divorce rates so nightmarishly high?
Why is disease (and ugly/deformed people, and people with permanent learning disabilities/disorders) assumed to be normal?
Why are so many in therapy, and why isn’t that therapy curing them all?
Because the narrative (both in government/schools and religious institutions, catering to the majority / lowest common denominator, to keep their numbers AND DEPENDENCY high) is wrong –and perhaps designed that way, for the same reason pharmaceuticals were pushed to replace things which actually worked.
The system is broken on purpose.
This includes with stereotypes about age, instincts/attraction, and serious/good relationships.
Reassess.

Q. Why aren’t alcoholic beverages allowed in this vessel?
A. Our maker noticed that intoxicated people aren’t being themselves, or more entertaining, but become skewed; ‘drinking’ (booze) changes their internal chemistry, resulting in them doing things they normally wouldn’t, i.e. NOT being themselves anymore. It also makes them too noisy, and stinky, not to mention clumsy, off-putting in multiple ways. That is not one of the aims of this vessel. This vessel is here to house people from 34 Tauri who are likely compatible with us, and only sober people have a chance at such compatibility and interaction.

Q. Why are only vegan products allowed in this ship?
A. For many reasons, such as that we have no need to take things from animals which we have other ways of making, and because it makes it a lot easier to colonize/settle a planet, and because we care about how innocent helpless animals feel. It boils down to compassion, empathy, and removing unnecessary complexity. It dramatically drops the cost of Space travel, and terraforming, and healthcare.

Q. Do you think we should remain vegan after we complete being seconded out to this ship?
A. That’s your individual call, but we hope you will notice its benefits. If you choose to remain vegan, we will be happy to keep in touch and meet again.

Q. Why are only unvaccinated allowed in this ship?
A. Vaccines don’t prevent sickness, they cause it. Read the ingredients; none of those are meant to be in the bloodstream, and all of them cause harm, sometimes permanent harm.
Look into who funds the vaccine manufacturers; why they invest, what they stand to gain.
Look at the criminal charges and record-breaking fines in class-action lawsuits against vaccine companies.
Look into why pharmaceuticals, especially vaccines, were invented in the first place; it wasn’t to heal or protect anyone, but to help generate more addiction, more complexity few could make sense of, and more profits for the profits-obsessed.
Look into the generations-long smear-campaign attempting to discredit all natural cures; plant-based healthcare which had worked far better for untold millennia.
Look at what was done to the actual healers; they were branded/slandered as evil/witches, often driven out of towns that sorely needed them, some even brutally murdered.
It was not possible in the money- and control-based new system to patent anything in nature; things had to be modified, unique, new, controllable –and engineered to cause more problems, thus more customers/desperate. Pain and sickness spur people to beg for help, and acquiesce to things they never would otherwise.
It was about control, keeping people weak, sick, not the opposite, not what was advertised.
If you want to heal, and find cures, not just remedies, look to the hundreds of thousands of species of plants in nature which have already been proven fully effective, often with no side effects, and always with far milder and fewer side effects than modern pharmaceuticals. If you want to know what actually makes people sick, look to their nonvegan diets which cause inflammation and cancer. Look to their overexposure to telecommunications radiation, from cell phone towers which are officially referred to as directed energy weapons. Look to what is normalized in their failed systems. Objectively isolate those variables, then see what conclusion you come to. Be careful about the slippery slope of bias, peer pressure from the “educated” (indoctrinated), and assumption or condescension.

Q. Why are only females who have always been female, and males who have always been male, allowed in this ship?
A. Would you feel comfortable being in an extremely risky environment, light-years from support, right beside people who let strangers inject unknown substances into them, keeping them sick, resulting in them becoming so confused and misled that they paid people to cut off their own genitals, then angrily demanded everyone celebrate that extreme mental disorder, and publicly insulted anyone who Didn’t support all that? We certainly wouldn’t.

Q. If the masses take your advice, and cure everything, wouldn’t there be a chance they become too powerful, too free, out of control?
A. Sure, but aren’t they alReady out of control? Look at how much it takes to keep them monitored, spied on all the time. Look at how much it takes to keep each of them teetering on knife’s edge, always on the verge of “coming down with something”, always needing checkups and intervention, and one more pill with one more side effect, to deal with a previous pill and side effect. It takes millions of experts, and supercomputers, and intelligence networks, and the military industrial complex, to keep all that in nightmarish balance. Why not try just doing things the natural, timeless, far-easier way? Maybe everyone would then be so relieved and happy… they would never be interested in dominance/secession or violence at all. Don’t the ones attempting to secede/flee… just want respect/justice, health/normalcy, and peace?

Q. Since you care about personal choice, why did you start this social experiment deep in Alliance (UAP) Space, not out past its borders, in Browncoat / Dust Devil territory?
A. TNH moves through both those ‘sides’ of this (star) system, and there will be plenty of non-UAP humans aboard it over the decades. Our aim is to give as many people out here as many chances as we can to decide if they like interacting with us in person. Nearly 90% of all humans in 34 Tauri live on the worlds orbiting its main star, Bai Hu; it just made sense for us to start in this region you call The Core.

Q. If an Alliance member and a Dust Devil or general secessionist got into an argument or fight in this ship, who would you side with?
A. Neither; our job here is not to decide what feels best for any of you, but to wait and see how many of you will get along with Us. If you get into spats amongst your own kind along the way, that is another thing for you to sort out. Please do not attempt to involve us as mediators. We will help with mediation when there is a misunderstanding between some of you and some of us, but not when the trouble is just between you and others of your worlds.

Q. Do you really not feel jealousy or envy?
A. Correct; we instead feel compersion for everyone who our maker would enjoy being around. If you decide to pause or conclude a relationship with one of us, we won’t feel angered or rejected or anything else negative. If we see you hooking up with others, we automatically feel happy and turned on, and would love to help you celebrate those hookups.

Q. How many of your kind are there?
A. More than 1.4 septillion, so… greater than 28.4 trillion times the current human population of 34 Tauri.
To more easily picture a population that numerous, first picture 34 Tauri (its ~50B humans),
and then picture a cube formation of star systems, each with the same number of humans as 34 Tauri,
that cube being 3,037 x 3,037 x 3,037 star-systems across any of its sides.

Q. Why are there so many of you?
A. That was the number estimated to be best for crewing our fleet, some its ships being super-capitals comparable to worlds; since we were designed not just to make our maker’s first city, but many other cities for him, and a fleet capable of mapping the Universe and more, and doing even More cosmic-scale things, and the way in which he wanted those things worked on, more than trillions of us were needed.

Q. How can that many individuals live on your world, or even in your star system?
A. There are only millions of us on our maker’s homeworld, and the rest of us are spread out across hundreds of worlds, and millions of major ships in our fleet, plus more than billions of minor ships, plus individuals deployed far and wide across the Universe.

Q. Why doesn’t your maker just meet us the old-fashioned way, like everyone else happens to meet?
A. For decades, our maker tried interacting organically; he just went to events, gatherings, and on trips (IOW: he did not have a prescreening or screening or scouting system), but every time… very rude people were there, intentionally preventing him from enjoying any meaningful hangouts or business. They kept spying on him, targeting him, intercepting him, trying to convert/corrupt/recruit him. It is ridiculous of them, relentless. It was harassment. VERY disrespectful. Meddlesome, to say the least.
He then relocated to a remote location they could not afford to travel to… to harass him at.
He then set things in motion so that the rude people had to leave our world.
He now sends us as scouts first, determining how many rude people we must clandestinely work around, and then he sends a ship such as this one to slightly temporarily relocate locals so they can interact with us in it first, he being the last person they interact with if all goes well between us and them.
In other words, instead of going everywhere like he used to, and just seeing who all shows up, giving Everyone a fair chance, he screens people (because the meddlers/rude forced him to) and then lets those who pass screening go to him.
It is still his nature, like anyone’s would be, to do things the old-fashioned way, but that has yet to work well for him.
