Passengers are chosen by Redd to come onboard, and they find themselves suddenly in a room that they don't recognize, having been teleported from their original world. They bring along whatever is conceivably in their pockets, and are given a communication device so that they can better socialize with other passengers over ShipNET. Death is not permanent on the Elegante, although it seems to work differently for crew and passengers. After 24 hours a killed character will be resurrected, although there's no IC guarantee that this will happen. The exact mechanics are unknown.
