Sci-fi Suspended Animation Colonists In Transit

[LiterateHellspawn]

Admittedly this is not a wholly original idea but can be traced back to some early classic science fiction, however it is very doable to use while creating great original stories of your own and I bring it up because of just how perfect for writing it can be. A huge colony ship is loaded with the people on their way to a newly terraformed world on the far side of the galaxy. Thousands of people are being kept in suspended animation for the duration of the trip which takes decades. The ship is ran by it's computer and various droids in the meantime, and is equipped to house everyone temporarily once landed for a few years while their colony is built around it. It has everything they need for several years to establish themselves. But there is some malfunction, or one passenger sabotages his machine and awakens early in the trip. On purpose or not, he finds himself unable to go back into suspended animation. He realizes he could awaken anyone else on board if he chooses. Or perhaps the way he was awakened will repeat. Maybe he awakens one or two females at a time, and as he gets bored with them he puts them in an airlock and sucks them into space before picking another. The options are yours to choose. I love this story.

Yeah, they did it in Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer what'shername.

A suspended animation engineer discovers a way to program minds while in suspended animation. When it is his turn to emigrate, he sets his own timer to end once the ship is on auto, then has fun choosing his victims. Thereafter, he wakes up once a year along with his selected victims for a few days of wild fun, then it's back to sleep...

It was a different world that I grew up in. An American pulp fiction novel in my (Catholic Girls) High School Library told of a world where World War Two didn't end when the allies met near Berlin. Instead the Western nations and the Soviets continued the conflict with defeated Germans siding with the west.

Moscow falls, yada, yada, Soviet bomb, yada, yada, ionized atmosphere and the MC an American Army officer builds a survival retreat in a cave. Together with US and British scientists an army unit had just rescued / kidnapped Soviet and captured / collaborationist German scientists. They built a cryonic chamber to survive after choosing some local girls -- since 95% of the westerners were male -- to accompany them and repopulate a post-Apocalyptic world.

A lot of the themes and story lines in the novel would not pass muster here at Literotica due to characters age, lack of consent, cannibalism and other gruesome acts mixed with sexual situations. It was a "regular" circulation novel in the school library, which I find somewhat amusing today. Maybe with more books like this one kids would 'take to reading' like we did.

I started reading a novel when I was waiting in the hospital... the hospital had to do with my new born granddaughter.

The book had to do with America, only an America that lost the Revolutionary War and was even in the present still colony of the British Empire. Technology had progressed so that they were now building a transatlantic tunnel from America to England. And George Washington's great great great grandson was in charge.

That's as far as I got, when we were let in to mom and the baby. Never went back to finish it. I was going to grab it and take it home but I just couldn't do that.
