Ellis was told that the trip to Rivina would take about 50 years. Multiply that by 365 to get 18,250 and then by 0.00027% to get about 5 days. That was how long it would feel like it's been before she reached her destination in suspended cryofreeze, if what her chip told her was true. She was still nervous, of coarse, of what may happen should something go wrong. The possibility of suffering from frostbite after awakening from cryosleep was to be noted as a risk, however the chance of trauma-induced heart attack from the temperature change and shock was much higher.<br/><br/>She was told that everything would be fine if she stayed calm, and that's what Ellis knew best. But she couldn't shake the feeling that not everything would be all right. For instance, the ship's combustion engines may not be able to hold out for the entire journey, and then she'd be stuck frozen in a cryopod until either someone found her or until her mind finally gave out after tens of thousands of years of suspended activity.<br/><br/>She was told that Rivina was a beautiful planet filled with wildlife and plenty of fresh vegetation for when they landed. Since the ship's food supply would only last two-thirds of the journey, the entire ship crew would have to cryofreeze itself over and over again to do yearly checks on the ship's systems as it piloted itself to the new world. The colonists, Ellis being among them, would be in cryofreeze the entire voyage.<br/><br/>She was even told that if anything were to happen during the trip to the planet, either the crew would be up to fix it or the ship would even fix itself. It wasn't very top-of-the-line due to being constructed over a period of many decades, but it was made to last and was included with "Self Reconstructing Nanite Drones". If the hull were to take a hit from a passing asteroid, for example, the nanites would launch to quickly repair the damage.<br/><br/>Yet here Ellis was some hundreds of years later, sprawled on the ground and desperately breathing through what was left of her pure O2 tank, now knowing full well that everything she was told was a lie. The cryochamber was dark and barely lit by the flashing red emergency lights, or rather what was left of them, where each flash reflected hundreds of similar flashes off of the pieces of broken glass scattered throughout the room. Her vision was blurry and vastly disoriented, but she could just barely make out the smashed and missing cryopods around her. People long dead hung out of their cryopods or were laid back against the walls of the room. Ellis along with the rest of the room was freezing at sub-zero temperatures due to all the cryopods being active and broken open. Without thinking, Ellis got herself together and pulled herself up using the side of her cryopod, which miraculously wasn't broken open like the rest. Her chip was acting up from being frozen for so long, and she decided to let it spas out in her head as she made her way out the doorway to her cryochamber.<br/><br/>As she exited the chamber, she saw the hull of the ship around her was in relatively good shape, although it wasn't as clean as was when the ship embarked. Traces of rust could be seen here and there and down the hallway and around the walls leading to the elevator, and Ellis was relieved to see a aqua blue package stapled to the wall to signal where the emergency air and water lines were. Ellis half walked and half floated to it, being suspended in a zero gravity environment, and ripped the panel off the wall as she felt the tank she was using begin to give out. Her vision was dimming again, and Ellis was still out of breath from forcing her pod open and tumbling out as a result. Attaching her respirator to the emergency line and breathing in revitalizing fresh air, she plugged her mini-tank to a separate line and began refilling it. As she waited, she felt a slight nudging in the back of her head and she heard an electronic voice in her hears fill her mind.<br/><br/>"EVA-X start-up complete. Good morning, Ellis.
