A rude awakening

[ima_npc]

[You awaken from a deep sleep. You are groggy and cold and feel off in ways that may be initially difficult to place. The door to your stasis pod opens. How did you get here? That's a really good question. Who are you? That's another.]

[Step outside into the warmer (albeit not especially warm) room and you'll see the others, all dressed in a similar style of stasis suits. One or two of them are wearing the same colors as you, though it's perhaps hard to tell with the dim, red glow that fills the room.]

[The doors are closed. There is no apparent way to open them. And a robotic voice intermittently rings through the room:]

Life support is being restored to the facility. Please stand by.

You've got no sense of adventure, mate.

[court_chesster]

The past ten minutes have been enough adventure for my entire lifetime. Let's just do what the nice voice says, okay?

[the_rogue]

Well, how's this? I'll take the blame if it does get mad.

[court_chesster]

Okay. If you need me I'll be hiding behind one of these freezer pods.

[the_rogue]

Good call, mate. I'll let you know when we've saved everyone.

[court_chesster]

Yeah, yeah. Just don't do anything reckless!

[the_rogue]

We'll try.

[Luckily, they end up leaving the door alone after a failed attempt opening it.]

[court_chesster]

[whew]

...Two hours isn't so bad.

[the_rogue]

Yeah, I think we might just survive it.

[court_chesster]

Guess we should have just asked to begin with...

[the_rogue]

But this way was more interesting.

[court_chesster]

Guess so.

[a pause]

...Sorry to be such a nag. I'm pretty freaked out.
