Kas is 7.2 feet tall in her normal posture and weighs just over seven hundred pounds. She has dark green scales and red eyes (and no nose-tongues).<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Kassathixil's first breath came with a fair dose of fear, confusion, and panic all at once. Her muddled mind had difficulty making sense of what she was experiencing. Inside her cryo-chamber, she could hardly see anything, and indeed, most of her other senses did not give her mind useful information for the first few seconds. Consciousness generally came later in the process of waking up a cryogenically-frozen brain, but it could sometimes still take a few moments for that consciousness to regain its faculties. All she experienced at first was the fact that she was in pain from some unknown source.<br/><br/>Of course, after all of the coughing and random, shooting pains from her scales regaining their sense of touch, Kas did eventually find some small sense of the situation she was in. She was in cryo-sleep, or rather, was being awoken from it. Proper procedure was to have a medical team, or at least robots, available to examine a patient as they awoke. Cryo-stasis was widely-used and considered to be safe, as serious complications were rare. However, they were still possible, and were most often mitigated by quick treatment. Kas herself had given such treatments before. But, as Kas soon recognized, there were no such precautions being taken.<br/><br/>Feeling at least some of her strength returning, Kas tried to step out of her cryo-chamber, but with a simple misstep, she ended up falling out onto the floor. The weight of her body sent out a hefty thud that echoed through the whole room, but she was, nevertheless unharmed. At least not by the fall. As she tried to look around the room, she realized that she still could not see terribly well, even out of the pod. Her vision was blurred, and especially in the low light, she could not make out much of her surroundings. Her breaths quickened at first, but she had to remind herself to keep calm. The difficulty of cryogenic revival could vary from species to species, or even between individuals. Blurry vision, and even temporary blindness, was a known, occasional side-effect of cryo-stasis for some species. She knew this. In just shy of 98% of cases, it subsided in under an hour with no permanent side-effects. Finally thinking with some rationality, Kas brought her arm up to her mouth and coughed a few times onto it, then looked closely at her scales to check for blood. If she were coughing up blood,<em>that</em>would be justifiably alarming.<br/><br/>Kas tried to think back on why she was even here to begin with, but try as she might, she could recall nothing of the sort. The last day she could remember had been, as far as she knew, perfectly average. It was also abundantly clear that she had nothing on her that could possibly fill in the gaps she obviously had in her memory. She was naked, though that was nothing unusual for Kas, or most other Ilyassani. Granted, her species' more violent tendencies meant that they were not terribly common on other species' worlds, but their reproductive organs were internal and their biology starkly different from most other civilized aliens, so it was not often seen as being obscene for one of her kind to be unclothed. Still, she did spare a few moments of thought to her belongings. She rarely went anywhere without a few electronic devices, so it stood to reason that she would have brought them with her to...wherever she was now. She hoped that she could find it all, and that she had taken some sort of notes that might shed some light on what<em>exactly</em>was going on.<br/><br/>With a few, more calm breaths, Kas slowly pushed herself up to her feet, albeit somewhat unsteadily. She thought she had heard voices as she was falling out of her chamber, but she had not regained enough of her senses at the time to make sense of the words. Now, she made an effort to focus. She still could not see too well, but she thought she could make out some figures standing nearby, close to some other pods.<br/><br/>"Hello? Is anyone there? Do you know what is happening?" Kas asked aloud to the figure she saw. She used the post popular trade language she knew, hoping it was one that would be understood. Ilyassani voices tended to be deep and, like so much else about them, had some naturally threatening qualities. For Kas, she felt like she had to make constant efforts to avoid appearing threatening to others, and it would help for her to be understood as speaking words, rather than unintelligible noises. Back when she practiced medicine, she had honestly felt that a good bedside manner was a more difficult task for her than heart surgery.<br/>
