Hiss

Consciousness.

Above her, or, in front rather, a glass pane, moving, lifting away from her. The Hiss of air escaping the Capsule she was in. It was dark outside, almost pitch black, barely illuminated by the malfunctioning lights of a few consoles.

Where am I?


She tried to stand up. Tried. Failed. Falling to the floor in a bit of a mess, scraping her soft, pale skin on the consoles and machinery on her way down.

Ouch.

Hurt, she rubbed her wrist, before trying to stand again, more cautiously this time. Success! But, Standing Up held other consequences. By the time she'd pulled herself up fully, the world had taken on a very unpleasant, very blurry tone,
everything swaying violently before her. She put a hand against her head, tried to stave off the rapidly growing head ache.

No Luck.

Oh...Oh God I think I'm gonna be-

She hit the deck again, on all fours this time. Vomiting. Deep, Unpleasant Sickness put on by God knows how many days, weeks, months, years of Cryo Sleep. She stayed where she was, for many long minutes, dryly retching on the ground, more than thoroughly miserable. And Cold. Very Cold. God why was it so cold here? She looked around.

Oh.

The Hissing hadn't stopped. The Coolant that had been keeping her in La-La Land for so long had ruptured, possibly from the wear and tear of time, and was now spraying out gasses through the room, causing a layer of frost to quite quickly grow on...everything, including the girl.A Sharp, Stinging pain made itself noticeable throughout her body as the ice started collecting on her. She hurriedly rubbed it away and scrambled to her feet.

No. Nononono. How do I fix this. Oh God. Oh God! I don't want to die here.

Somewhere in her panicked, breakdown like state something slightly more intelligent, and capable took over, redirecting the girl's sight to the control valve of the coolant chamber. Come on Idiot, Turn it. Her mind almost seemed to be telling her, she didn't stop to question it as she ran over and quickly shut off the flow of coolant gasses. Sinking down with her back against the wall, she pulled her knees to her chest, taking very deep, totally not at all panicked breaths at the thought of having almost frozen to death mere second after waking up here.

Where is here anyway?
