Nalla was surprised at the silence in the ship.  She at least expected to her the Fortuna's main computer giving status information over the PA system.  Maybe she had awakened first.  Once in the shower, Nalla washed quickly and walked back to the shelter of her cryo chamber where she dried off and lounged for awhile, waiting for orders.<br/><br/>Nalla's excitement and curiosity gave way to boredom and she bit her lip in frustration.  Something was going on.  Why hadn't she heard from the captain?  Why hadn't the medics come to check in on her?<br/><br/>Nalla was about to ask the Fortuna for a status report when she heard the knock at the door to her chamber.  It startled her and she screamed from the sudden noise that had broken the eerie silence.<br/><br/>"Yes, hello?  Who's there," Nalla asked as she turned to face the door, unsure of what could possibly had made the noise.
