Ellis saw the door open suddenly, and knowing that she wasn't close enough to trigger it to open herself, she grabbed an indent in the wall to halt her advance as it opened. When the door was out of the way, she saw a man in his mid-20s gazing at her with an equally curious gaze. She saw that the man was wearing a respirator like she was, but his was more practical for interstellar usage while hers was made for everyday usage.<br/><br/>The man tried to speak to Ellis, but his words were caught in a coughing fit. Seeing that Ellis wasn't an immediate threat, the man motioned her into the Cryochamber. Ellis nodded, and showing her hands up to signal she had no weapons, she propelled her way across the hall and to the Cryochamber. Looking around, Ellis saw that the chamber she was now in was in the same condition as the one she was in, if not worse. Her chip highlighted a few pods in the back of the chamber, and she immediately propelled herself there, almost pushing past the man as she floated. Ellis's chip connected to the ship's datascape when she approached the pair of pods, and she felt a heavy weight on her shoulders when she saw the word "Expired" above both the pods. She released a sad sigh.<br/><br/>Ellis got down to the storage compartment below her mom's pod. There was a 13-symbol password lock on it, and she commanded her chip to breach the compartment. Ellis hadn't stowed anything in her compartment, so she hadn't bothered opening it before coming down here. She heard a high pitched beeping in her ear, and the compartment clicked open. Inside was a pair of twin samurai swords, Ellis's weapons of choice and her prized possessions. The<span style="font-style: italic">Hakurouken</span>and the<span style="font-style: italic">Roukanken</span>, the datascape notified her of their names, which translated to The Lookout-Tower Sword and the White Tower Sword. Both were given to her on her 13th birthday, and she cherished them greatly. She slung them both over her back and pushed the storage shut. Taking one last look at the two pods that belonged to her parents, she said a quick prayer while holding back her tears. She got up and looked at the man, tried speaking, but only choked as a result.
