<g> can't you just hear it? Vila's reminiscences can't be trusted, Avon thinks it's none of *their* business. Dayna's would be soporific (50 different ways to kill Sarrans), Cally's incomprehensibly alien (though the others learn fast that the words "my people have a saying" is a good cue to find something important to do at the other end of the ship), Gan and Soolin keep their tragedies to themselves, and Soolin doesn't have any good memories anyway. Tarrant finds it hard to remember to avoid the words "when I was in the FSA" (a large part of his life) to people who still aren't convinced that isn't a hanging offence in itself. Blake avoids talking about his personal history where he can, he's still finding it hard and/or painful to remember at all.

They're an ill-assorted bunch, most of them having very little in common, and they aren't just workmates, they live together.

And the poor dears don't even have the weather.
