People slowly stumble out of their pods, and would then proceed to look around until their eyes rested on you. The last person leaves their cryo pod, far more gracefully than anyone else. Her focus turns towards you, and you can tell that she is someone to be reckoned with. She is a young woman, perhaps around 19, with flowing brown hair that falls just past her shoulders. Breaking the silence, she speaks. "Who are you?" It isn't harsh, but not pleasant either. It is less a question of curiosity and more of necessity. "I'm not quite sure," you reply,"but I think the real question is who are YOU?" "I am... WAS the daughter of the governor of this place. But who are you? You seem to be human, so you should know what was going on down on Earth." "Not was," you reply quickly,"what IS going on." "What do you mean?" she asks. "Surely it is all over since someone has come to the Station and freed people sealed in cryo for safety." she says questioningly. "Uhh, when did you get sealed in here?" you asks. "July 21st. Why?" she replies. You hesitate for a moment, take a breath, and continue. "Well, it's September 21st now. I think the same year. All the gore up here is too fresh. I mean, it's pretty bad, but it would be a lot worse after a year or more." "What?! So you just went in and bypassed all the security and let all of the people out of the safety of their cryo pods, just putting them in more danger than they use to be?! Are you stupid?" You take a breath to stay calm. "Would you rather sit here to be found in a few years? Or a few hundred years? Most likely by those slaughtering robots out there? This place is derelict. Earth is probably derelict. If we can get somewhere else, preferably somewhere hospitable, then humanity might have a chance simply to exist a little longer! This place is of no use to the robots, and I doubt they'd just let it sit up here in the sky! They'd probably blow it up and use the metal to make more robots! You know what, I haven't seen a single weapon or dead robot on this ship except for the guns being carried by robots and myself and the robots I shot myself! My bet is that they learned to recycle. They'll probably recycle this place in due time. Do you want to be on it when they do that? What good would come of it?" "Well then, why don't we all just jump out the airlock and free-float the hundreds of lightyears to another star?" Her mocking tone starts to get to you. "We don't need to free-float. There's an inaccessible ship a floor above us in the hangar bay." "Oh? So we fly a spaceship hundreds of lightyears?" "No, we fly a spaceship a few light MINUTES to Mars, where it seems from a broken-up transmission that there might be a secret base on Mars. That is of course, if we can even reach the ship." She is taken aback at this. "What? That is idiotic, a secret-" "And where else would you go? Hundreds of lightyears to the nearest star?" She becomes furious at the fact that you are right and threw her own comments ito her face. "Wait, no, forget the ship idea. we can't get to it. Free-floating it is!" You say, obviously mocking her. "I can get everyone past the hangar shields. It's getting to Mars in the first place that would even be the problem. We can't just tell the computer to go to Mars and it takes us there. We have to fly to it manually, and how would we find it? We have no idea where it is!" "Well," you say,"isn't there anything that could locate it? It's a large object relatively close to us, and seeing everything I would think that you'd have something to detect large points of gravity." She thinks. "There might be something on the ship that could get us there. We'll have to see. Anyway, I guess we should get going. There's no point in standing around." "Alright then," you say,"I guess that means we're going to Mars then." "Yes," she replies,"but you you still haven't told us who you are." You stand there, trying to think of how to respond, because you honestly don't know who you are. "I really have no idea. First thing I remember is stumbling from a cryo pod in a dank room, then I find a corpse by a console, a video log about some people 'resisting' something, progress reports on the research and development of robots that can function almost as well as humans, then an old man who told me that they were developing robots to do work for humans, then they found some history files about wars but by the time it hapened it was too late and all the robots went psycho and started killing everyone and then he locked himself up before he was killed, and then I went to NASA and found a working shuttle that I took up to the Station, but then when I got here everyone was dead and there were more logs telling me that the worst had happened, but then I was told that there were a bunch of humans sealed in cryo pods and asked me to get my butt down there and free everyone if I could, so I did and here we are. By the way, you never gave me a name." "Elizabeth. My name is Elizabeth. What do I call you?" You vaguely remember something from the past, but just as soon it fades away and you are left with one word. "Jack." "Well then Jack, let's get out of here." "I was thinking the same thing. Let's go." The two of you, followed by everyone else, head up to the hangar and stop after passing through the door. "Getting past the forcefield is simple, as long as you know how to do it," Elizabeth says. She swings out a panel on the wall and punches a bunch of keys on a keypad that had been hidden behind the panel. A second later the forcefield powers down. "Alright, everyone on board." Everyone proceeds to get into the ship, which barely manages to fit everyone, and then you and Elizabeth get in yourselves. "Alright, I'm powering down the outer shields. Do you have any idea how to fly this thing?" she asked. "Well, no," you reply. "Doesn't mean I can't try though. It looks simple enough." "Simple? That's not simple!" "It is to me. Buckle up!" You power up the ship, figure out how to move it, then head out of the hangar. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------CONTINUES IN PART 6
