well there are probably bees in every area that isn't someones quarters, so if you had anything in mind with how you where going to link them together they and the Mind can kind of act in a similar roll to what the AI would.

[@Hylozoist] I think The Mind can replace the AI like Draco said. I like the 'life on the ship' idea.

I was thinking that, if we had a sort of slice-of-life situation where everyone was in the ship doing their own thing, then the presence of the AI (or the bees now!) could serve as a way of making sure everyone had somebody to interact with, and to bring people together. It's one of those things that I'm not sure if it'd actually be needed, but I wanted to make sure that I had some sort of backup plan in mind if it looked like people were left out, or if we needed something to break the ice, or so on.

Also unrelated, does anyone know a good place to visit to find gamer friends, especially female ones? Besides cons, I try to go to those whenever I can.

Most of my gamer friends were made at university, at LARPs ([i]it's one of my secret shames[/i]) and board game meet-ups. Plus the occasional convention. Not that I've go to particularly many; my "convention schedule" is a pair of post-it notes with "Rezzed in Spring" and "Dragonmeet in Winter" written on them.
