The gravity was back, which made getting anywhere but up or down the ladder nearly impossible. The atrium was above them. To the left was an open cryopod.<br/><br/>"Okay. Have it your way.", Richard said. "I doubt we'd be safer in the atrium anyway. If you<b>insist</b>on staying on this ladder then I'm staying with you, but I have an idea. There's a cryo pod to our left that's not malfunctioned. I think I can get us both inside and seal it in under two minutes. I can override the cryosleep process and just have the chamber refil. It won't be much protection but the fluid in there may act as a cushion against the impact. What do you say?"
