Ellis was more or less relieved in hearing her chip finally decided to activate correctly. It had it's glitches for an unreleased X-class prototype, but Ellis had slowly but surely been working through them before she boarded the<span style="font-style: italic">Arlington</span>. Ellis finished filling up her O2 tank and set it to Hot Vapor mode to help her throat recover from being frozen for so long. Recovering some of her lost strength, she managed to walk to the elevator and board a grav lift. The grav lifts were basically high-ceiling rooms with a handle midway up the wall, and were used in most multi-story space cruisers. This lift, however, only led to the other 7 floors of cryopods. The benefit to this lift was that the people running the ships could use the built-in screen on one of the walls to check the status of each and every cryopod on each of the floors.<br/><br/>Scrolling through the list herself on the ship's datascape, she saw that one of the pods has recently been opened up manually. Ellis jumped up and grabbed the handle, and hit the button labeled "CC-2". The grav lift gave a very loud shudder that could probably have been heard throughout the rest of the ship, but it eventually got moving. Her legs swung around almost immediately, and soon she was facing upside down from where she used to be standing. The problem with grav lifts was that they couldn't compensate for the momentum they created when they moved, so a passenger's legs swung around freely inside the cabin. With this swing around, Ellis felt her stomach suddenly lurch. She hadn't eaten in a long time, and the food she was given before launch was absolutely disgusting. She would have to remember to eat something soon, if she could find anything.<br/><br/>The grav lift slowly came to a stop, and Ellis sat in the lift for a few moments, the dizziness of post-cryosleep catching up to her. She slowly propelled herself out of the lift and sat herself down against a wall. She wanted to talk to herself, but her throat was still numb. She tapped into her EVA chip and started thinking out notes for herself later while steadily viewing over the ship logs in her mind. She couldn't tell whether or not she was broadcasting to the entire datascape, but she could care less.<span style="font-style: italic">Okay... As it seems, everyone on the ship is dead, except for me and one person who is on this floor... My friends are gone... The crew's gone... My parents...</span>Ellis choked. She realized now that her parents were probably dead now. They came with her last minute on the voyage. Shuddering at the thought and holding back tears, Ellis got up and floated her way down the hall and to the doorway of Cryochamber 2. Whoever was behind this door was either a survivor, or the person who would try to take her life in the next few moments. Or maybe both.
