That's a very interesting question. [And not one Narvin has considered. It raises his scientific interest.]
I can tell you that sometimes at ports people do change. If they fall off the ship instead of disembarking properly, they become integrated into the world with a new identity, new memories...much like a breach. Which is further evidence to the hypothesis that the ship does something during the disembarkation process to prevent us from changing. Not magic, but some sort of advanced technology.
[And Narvin doesn't like this conclusion at all. The idea that only the Admiral's erratic will might be what is keeping the dimensional alterations at bay during every port.
He says nothing about the investigation of the mess hall, though. That's still classified information as far as Narvin is concerned, until they find the culprits.]
