The friendly voice that had woken him from his transit-sleep belonged to a machine, which looked like a well-endowed human female, wearing nothing at all. "Hello!" it said, when he was ready to tear his attention away from the splendid scene in front of him, "My name is Tina! I am your personal assistant!" Then it continued with no pause for breath: "Please do not attempt to turn your head, Sir! That function is not presently available to you." There was a tiny click. "If you have understood this message please blink your eyelids once. If you have any questions, please blink your eyelids twice-thank you, Sir! Please wait a moment..." it said, followed by another tiny click and "...your query will be attended to very shortly by a live attendant!"
