Over time, the passengers aboard the ship got used to their new reality, and the atmosphere aboard slowly relaxed.
The other families, whose members were more or less forced by their family head to move from their home, also calmed down and warmed up to Seth and the other ascended aboard the ship.
Seth made a habit of socializing as often as possible. When he was not busy entertaining his women, people usually found him roaming the ship and conversing casually with anyone he could find.
The Howell and the Ashley families were already not that hostile towards Seth, but once he took care of Saif’s problem, and with Julie’s efforts, the Oconnor family also fell in line.
