All I had to do was go to sleep, I’d wake up centuries later in this new amazing galaxy. There was only about a dozen of us going into cryo. They told us we’d be monitored regularly, as several technicians would wake up for their own cryo sleep to make sure everyone was okay. I wasn’t scared. Sure I was a little worried how they were going to put my cat into cryo with me, but I had a feeling it would all work out.
Only, none of us volunteers expected the sort of shock we’d get once we were there. When we were all being brief, they told us a handful of people would be going ahead of us, they’d arrive at least a few decades in advance in order to settle a world, build a place for us to live as we navigated our new lives there. That was all great, but when we walked into facility… their faces were grim.
The first thing I noticed, was what I saw when I looked out the window. We definitely weren’t on some beautiful planet. We were in some big fortress they built in space. I thought that was why they looked so upset. Maybe settling a world didn’t go so well, but everyone who came here with me was about to get one help of a wake up after sleeping for centuries.
