Data observed these three were not that phased by their strange experience.
Compared to the three humans from the 20th century he had found with Warf
in cryogenic stasis on a satellite once. Crusher had revived them they had
experienced culture shock.
Buffy wondered what nasty surprise might be waiting for them as she followed Data down the bright corridors and through sliding doors. They found themselves in a small room now, must be a lift she thought. "Deck 5" Data stated and her suspicion was confirmed. "What are your requirements?" Buffy shook her head at the strange, formal phrasing, "Can we have quarters with two bedrooms?" their sallow looking companion nodded.
Dawn hadn't decided whether the situation made her afraid or excited, she decided to settle for excited.

Stepping out of the turbo-lift Data led them to a door and walked through into a room with a blue floor and a small table and couch. It was lit but the light was dimmer than the parts of the ship they had seen up until this point. Two more sliding doors were situated on opposite sides of the room.
After pointing out all the features and showing the how to use something called a 'replicater' that was et into the wall Data left them alone again and returned to his station.
Buffy shook her head and looked at Spike; "He's weird." "Definitely not human either." He didn't tell her the reason for his conclusion was because he hadn't detected any life signs from Data.
Buffy now saw where Dawn was. She was kneeling across the room in front of them staring out the window where stars shot past. Buffy moved across to where her sister was and knelt next to her. "Isn't it cool Buffy?" Dawn said excitedly. "Uh huh." Buffy replied in a voice that seemed far away. Spike put an arm round each of his girls and hugged then tightly to him. Buffy turned to look up at him, she looked lost. "What if we can't get back Spike?" It was almost a whisper. "We will pet." They sat together like that for a moment just staring out at the stars. They were still trying to comprehend that they had been transported through time, they were on a spaceship in the 24th century looking out into space! Dawn felt another twinge of excitement at the prospect.
