"Typical, among some beings." There is a sigh here, the weariness stronger for a moment.

"I don't know - I can't say anything with confidence, too many unknown variables. But from talking to individuals, to seeing testimonies, reports, it's possible that those are on the craft are more likely to have strong preferences for bonding. They are easily influenced. They know the voidcraft takes them to places in need - therefore, it is good. It has trauma in its history. It gives some amenities. It shows an interest in providing comfort. Individuals do not understand the void, but they understand themselves, through their own experiences. They accept the risks, unable to analyse or find possible sources of aid. Therefore, they feel powerless. They put stake in what the craft says of others."

They move out a hand, seemingly gesturing to something - a point, by the fact they continue to speak, but do nothing else with the limb.

"We have found little data that passengers were attempting to reach out for help. You have been to resorts, void active, and only one, two of passengers apparently reached out to anyone."

A pause.

"From speaking with individuals tethered to the voidcraft, I am unsurprised that they have issues with asking for help. It is a conflict: those who would help with others on the missions presented to them, but that won't help those around them, even if they lack self-worth."
