#the smiley survey promised to take them back to earth while also trying to evade the law

au where emu, nene and rui are aliens travelling the galaxy and tsukasa is the lone human who they took with them after finding him on a random planet.

emu is the adventurous daughter of a well respected official on her home planet. she's always wanted to go travel the galaxy to bring smiles everywhere she goes. after years of begging, she's allowed to go on the condition she takes mascot with her. she's the captain of the ship and is often found running around the ship, dragging whoever is willing to listen to her along. her plans are surprisingly well thought out.

nene, along with her childhood friend rui, comes from a war ridden planet. she was separated from both her parents at a young age as she was fleeing the battles. the war ended a few years before she and rui joined emu's ship but she never found her parents. she's the ship's navigator and often sends out nenerobo in her place for social events in order to make sure nothing goes wrong. her social anxiety used to be horrible but has improved after being on the ship for so long.

rui comes from the same planet from nene and joined the ship at the same time. his father went off to fight while he and his mother stayed behind. he was separated from her while fleeing as well. he picked up her skill to make incredible machines that helped him and nene survive for so long until the war ended. he was hesitant to join the crew but did it for nene's sake. he works as the mechanic and when not tinkering away will be found writing stories. he used to be distant and cold before emu's emotional awareness made his cold exterior fade away.

tsukasa was abducted from earth at a young age and was brought onto a spaceship in order for them to learn more about humans. he and one other thing was given to a researcher who grew to love him like he was their child and helped him escape. he wasn't heavily experimented on like the other humans, only used to understand human anatomy and development. he's up to date on his education on earth and has headphones made specifically to translate all alien languages so he can understand them and vice versa. he and the other thing escaped and were soon picked up by the smiley survey. he doesn't have a role yet. he loves to make things with fabric given to him and reading fairy tales and myths.

hatsune miku is an ai from earth (think sophia from p5s) who was taken on the same night as tsukasa. she was given alongside tsukasa to the same researcher. she and other pieces of technology were studied to see how far humans had technologically advanced. she made sure to teach tsukasa so he was up to date with his studies in repayment for him naming her and claiming her to be his friend. before their escape, the researcher made her a body based on the image of the vocaloid she was named after with some few modifications to make her unique. she was given a code that does the same thing as tsukasa's headphones. she doesn't have a role on the ship either. tsukasa's childish interests and stories they read together shaped her childlike personality.
