Reina Pavoni

[Reid]

The girl gave a jump when the mask fell. She stayed silent for a moment after the man finished. "I'm Reina Pavoni...did you say Freeport Six? I haven't heard of that, is it an Alliance Station?"
Terrance smiled softly to himself, as he half turned towards her, keeping his face out from her view.
"Something like that, Miss Pavoni. I'm surprised you still remember that era of history. It's been... eight-hundred and nineteen years since the sleeperships had left Sol. Freeport Six... in some sense is an Alliance Station, but you see lass, humanity isn't exactly united like we were back in Sol. This station is actually a Zoner station."
"Sol...The sleeperships! Did we make it to Sirius?! Wh-...eight hundred nineteen years...?"
"Roughly eight-hundred and nineteen years, aye. You've been in cryogentically frozen for quite sometime, considering the Hispania arrived in Sirius in the year nineteen A.S." He replied, turning to face her fully with a light smile on his face, she could see he was roughly the age of fifty and had a burn scar across the side of his face.
"Eight hundred years...W-Why wasn't I woken up when we arrived?! And how did I get here?!"
"Somewhere down the line, the Hispania suffered engine problems, and wasn't able to make landfall properly. Only a handful of colonists managed to get planet side on a planet known as Malta and another group on a planet known as Crete. You're lucky I was in the area when your cryopod sent out a distress beacon. Which... was weird because, Alliance distress beacons aren't that common."
Reina's eyes widened in fear "The others landed....What about my father? Where is he?"
He shook his head slowly, putting on a frown and looking down. "If I knew, I would tell you. Though he's either still alive and in a cryopod on the Hispania, or long since dead. I'm sorry..."
A look of shock and dread came over her "Long..dead...but...we promised..." Reina sat for a few seconds before hunching over and started crying
Terrance drew in a long deep breath, before letting it out slowly and pushing himself up to his feet, making his way over to the bed and sitting down next to the girl. He briefly hesitated before placing his hand gently on her back.
"It's going to be alright."
A few minutes pass before Reina calms down. "That's easy for you to say, you're not 800 years in the future with everybody you know being dead!" She starts crying again
"As sad as it maybe, Miss, think of it this way. You do have a fresh start out here in Sirius." He replied, not actually having anything to say that would calm her down, after patting her on the back a couple of times, he pushed himself up and walked towards the desk he was originally sitting at, and took a seat again.
"If you need anything, just give me a shout, and you can call me Terry."
