"No thanks," Ellen responded to the man's gesture towards a seat opposite him. The man continued to talk, but as he mentioned his last bit about checking up on her in her nakedness, Ellen gave a disgusted look. How could he say that so casually? she thought to herself.<br/><br/>The man shook his head and motioned to the seat again. Ellen didn't like jokes, especially vulgar and crude joke like the one he gave to her. An unfavoring look appeared on her face as she too shook her head, sitting down on the seat opposite the man. He apologized, saying he wasn't going to play around anymore. Ellen thought, that even if this 20 year trip made it and they were still alive, it wouldn't be right to hold a grudge for a single joke 20 years in the past. She knew better and as she sat on the chair, for a moment she thought about sending a holovid to her mother and brothers, telling them the real, honest, loving truth. She would have enough time for that later on. She wanted to know more about this man first, and to know things about him beyond the facade of a joking remark.<br/><br/>Remembering what he said earlier, Ellen asked, "So you're part of the team that does cryogenics?" She realized that what he said was true about them being naked when frozen. It was best for a person to be frozen naked than to have clothes on, or run the risk of peeling skin when peeling clothes off, or so she assumed. There were some things she could not understand, and with an expert sitting in front of her, it would be a good opportunity to learn. "So 20 years, we're going to be frozen?"
