You are a steward on a cruise ship. Your responsibilities are specifically to keep the passengers on A deck happy. You work for the Purser, Andrea, who has an office opposite the library on the main deck of the ship.

For this trip you have the following customers entrusted to your care: Sophie Carlton is an actress. Although only 27 she has become well-known for her work on stage, and in particular, for several period costume dramas on television. She has been talked about as a potential Hollywood star, and is rumoured to be on the verge of signing a very lucrative contract for a series of family-orientated films.

She has the reputation of being dedicated to her work, and there has never been even a hint of scandal in the tabloid newspapers. Helga Christiansen is assistant to Sophie Carlton. She handles Sophie's correspondence, makes appointments, keeps away unwanted hangers-on etc. Sir Richard Penbright is an industrialist. He is on the cruise with his wife Lady Catherine Penbright and daughter the Honorable Julie Penbright.

The family have taken this cruise together. However they are rarely seen together. Sir Richard spends most of his time working in the Business Centre attached to the ship's library. Lady Catherine seems to spend most of her time alone, looking bored. The Honorable Julie has taken to the Casino like a moth to a flame, although the rumours are that she has not had a very successful time gambling.

Laura Parkin is a thirty something executive on a relaxing holiday. She is generally to be found on the Sundeck or by the Pool. Paula Williams seems to spend most of her time in her cabin, hunched over her computer. Nobody seems to know much about her, although someone said that they thought she might be a writer of some sort.
