"-... classifies it as a possibly autonomous vessel, acting on humanitarian instincts seemingly without belief of the need for survival protocols, reaching into diplomacy into every possible scenario."

"- The Lexicon, as it identifies itself, remains at large an incomplete identity of those who populate the vessel, which on the surface equals a Zoner Whale. The inside of the ship, however, much differs from the usual - but that experience shall be reported on another file."

"- The purpose of this record is to instruct the reader on interaction with said vessel. Due to the pacifist nature of its inhabitants - and the limited capabilities of the unmodified Whale - the ship poses no danger to those who contact it. In truth, it has been said to refuse help from authorities when found under scrutiny by pirates."

"- When interacting with said vessel it is imperative to understand the community belief of said entity. The ship is not manned by a single person, captain or subject of similar post, but by a seemingly large number of individuals, capable of speaking together - like if they were weaving words - or by a single individual, occupying a temporary position of 'Speaker'."

"- The 'Speaker' holds by no mean authority over the others present on The Lexicon. Acting simply as a voice, the choice of said occupant seems to rely into circumstance - with options ranging from children who seem to occupy the vessel to elderly man and women."

"- Regarding the audio-to-text nature of visual consoles, it remains relevant to record that the default console seems to convert said entity choices based on their emotion or singular characteristic. Exemplifying, one could meet The Lexicon and, when greeted by an elderly occupant, come to find the name on his console reading 'Calm Voice'."

"- Sometimes, however, the whole community seem to speak together, as if chanting. On these circumstances, no voice seems to be chosen or raise above the others. The console, on these situations, will simply resort to musical notes, or the simple tilde when receiving, such as: '~ <message> ~'."

"- Next, we shall analyse the nature of the vessel itself and the limited Artificial Intelligence seemingly present on it's circuits, and explain the reason why it's occupants seem to be unable to leave it."
