Lost in Space: IC

[Avellan13]

At first there was only darkness. He felt sore and cold, but couldn t figure out why that was. As he slowly opened his eyes he saw a dim blue light creeping into his vision. In front of hm was glass and as he looked around he found that he was in a small cylinder shaped container, but that wasn`t the worst of it. He felt needles in him and as he looked down he saw IVs stuck into his arms and legs. He tried to scream but a tube in his mouth running down his throat, probably providing oxygen, blocked all attempts.

He struggled for a while and started to push against the glass, when suddenly, it opened up with a hiss. He fell forward onto the cold hard floor and didn`t get up for a while. He grabbed at the tube in his mouth and pulled it out. As he did, he vomited all over the floor. He pulled the IVs off next and was soon lying uncomfortably on he floor. As he looked around, he saw he was in some kind of room, but darkness prevented him from seeing any farther then a few feet from the container that he was in, which was roviding a dim blue light.

"Hello?" He called weakly. No one answered his call, in fact nobody was around as far as he could see. He slowly got up and shivered, he had no clothes on except for some briefs to cover his genitals. He saw a locker near "his" container which had the name Jake Anastsio on it. Yes he remembered now, his name was Jake.

He walked towards the locker and opened it up. Inside he found a suit that look like a silver jumpsuit. On the name tag it read, Jake Anastasio - Head of Security. Unsure of what it meant, Jake put on the suit then slowly headed for the outline of a desk. As he approached he saw dust on it that must have been at least an inch thick. A screen was flashing something.

Looking at the screen he saw a list of names, his included on it. He touched the screen and a diagram of the containers appeard along with two options, "Wake crew" and "Return to Menu". He computer had a small list saying the names of the crew, at the bottom werre the words "Please awaken Crew". Jake needed help so he hit the "Wake Crew" option.

Dr. Asma Fabis

Asma had a dizzy feeling in her head, as she woke up. Half unconsious, she had the feeling that something crept out of her throat, and she had slight pain in her body. It took some time until she came to senses and realized that something was indeed wrong. She was not in her bed, not in her room anyway. There was something above her, a transparent hood. She was dressed only in a black lacy bra and panties, that she never wore when she went to bed. Finally she realized where she was, or at least what was around her. A crypto-chamber, and she just had been awakened. Slowly the hood opened. She lifted herself carefully, feeling weak, and peaked out to see where she was.

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

Jake saw text scrolling across the computer.

-Crew status updating....-
-Request being processed... Request accepted.-
-Crew awakening from deep cryo hibernation.
-Expect possible delays between crew member awakenings and possible side effects.-
-Side effects my include, but not limited to; weakness, nausea, forgetfulness, long-term memory loss, confusion, cramping, headaches, and fatigue.

Jake looked up from he computer and saw cryo tube opening up. A woman was inside, similarally hooked up like he was. He quickly approach her and helped romove the IVs stuck in her.

"Hey.. Hey, are you ok." She didn`t respond at first, probably from the side effects the computer mentioned. He helped to remove the oxygen tube from her mouth so she could speak.

He looked at the locker next to her crto tube, "Is your name Asma Fabis?"

 

[Belinda35]

Dr. Asma Fabis

Asma looked up to the man who helped her crawl out.
"Yes I am. Who are you? Where am I? Why?" she just came onto her feet, staggering a little. At least she didn't throw up, although she felt sick.

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

He smiled a little, "Your guess is as good as mine. I just woke up a few minutes ago." He went to her locker and pulled out her suit. The name tag confirmed her name as Dr. Asma Fabis. So she was a doctor.

He handed her suit to her then went back to his locker. Inside he found a flashlight and a key card.

 

[Belinda35]

Dr. Asma Fabis

Asma just now realized that she really should get dressed. She put on the suit, and followed the young man. After all, he was the only person here.
"What do you mean? I cannot renember how I got here. Is this a kind of experiment?"

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

He turned to her, "Hell if I know. Just look around" he waved at a few other cryo tubes. He went to the computer and saw it had a new update on it.

- Warning! -
- Subject: Sean Watts -
- Condition: Critical -
- Unable to open hatch until subject`s condition improves. -

Jake saw the other cryo tube were still preparing and warming up. He felt confused, he couldn`t remember anything. He turned on thhe flashlight and looked arund the room which confirmed his theory that no one else was around, except for the ones in the cryo tubes.

 

[Belinda35]

Dr. Asma Faris

Asma suspected that he knew a bit more, as he knew how to operate the screens. She was reading the text as well, but there was nothing she could do about. She walked around a bit, looking at the cyro-chambers. There were more persons, just the way she had been. Had they all be abducted for a crazy experiment? Why would anyone choose her? She was an expert for economics, what could anyone want from her? She had been tangled into politic affairs of all kind, that belonged to her job. But of nothing so serious, as far she knew.

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

He continued to mess around with the computer, but with no power, except for the amount that kept the cryo tubes and this computer on,

He tried to go to the menu wherehe hoped to find out where they were but the computer always said the same thing.

-Not enough power, please start up emergency generator in Generator Room B-4.-

Jake called over Asma and showed her the message. I need to find this generator.

He looked around the room. It was a small 10 ft by 30 ft rectangular room. The cryo tubes lined the wall to his left and right. A total of 8 cryo tubes. Behind Jake was a door that was large enough for a vehicle to pass through. He tried to open it, but it wouldn`t budge. He tried his key card in the slot. Still nothing. He had to find a way to get on the other side of the door.

 

[Belinda35]

Dr. Asma Fabis.

"I see." she was no engineer, so she would be of no great help. "But I think whoever put us in here, does not plan to let us die of hunger or thirst. I suggest we search all the lockers, maybe there is more then this suits." She opened the locker that was next to her cyro-bed and searched it.

 

[Avellan13]

James Anastasio

James wasn`t sure about them being test subject. But then again he could be wrong.

"Well we need to get out of this room first, their nothing in here except them" he waved towards the people in the cryo tubes. "But your right about food, their has to be something around but it`s not in this room."

He continued to mess with te door but nothing was working. "The door won`t open" James started looking i at the ceiling and floor for and air duct of something to help him get out of here.

 

[LeoHawk35]

Leo Storm

He opened his eyes. He was in some kind of cylindrical tube. Cyro stasis or something like that from the few bits he could remember. He shook his head and looked down and around him. There were various tubes and needles hanging around him, but none inside him. Curious. He pushed on the glass in front of him. It wouldn't budge. He pushed harder. Still nothing. He braced himself against the back of the tube and kicked the glass. No results. He kicked again and the door budged slightly. He picked himself up and kicked the door with both his feet and it finally opened. He pushed it open the rest of the way and stepped out, hands raised in his combat stance, which he wasn't sure how he remembered.

He was in a room with other cryo tubes. Two human-looking forms stood by a door on the opposite side of the room from him. He ignored them for the most part. They weren't targets. He looked to the locker next to his pod. The name tag was ripped off, but he could almost remember his name. It was on the edge of his mind, and he couldn't grasp it. He opened the locker and pulled on the jumpsuit in it. There was also a utility belt inside of it that contained various tools and had a medpack hooked to it. His belted it on and turned to the others in the room. He walked calmly over and looked at them, not saying a word. It had been his experience that those who are around longer know more than you do about a particular situation.

And so he waited for one or both of them to explain what was going on.

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

He heard the thud from one of the cryo tubes. He turned to see the cryo tube being kicked from the inside. Somene was awake inside. Eventually the door opened and a man came out looking ready for a fight. Jake watched as the man went over to his locker and pulled some clothes on.
When the man approached Jake recognized him, the way he walked and acted, identified him as a soldier or someone who had been in the services. This made Jake feel better and he quickly nodded to him. He had no name tag on him but a look at the computer would show his name listed beside the cryo display.
Jake quickly explained what had happened and what Asma and he were planning to do.

 

[Belinda35]

Dr. Asma Fabis

Asma looked at the newcomer, he was also quite young, and she to suspected him to be a soldier. Jake, as she knew from his nametag, explained what he know so far, and it did not take him very long. She had opened her locker, where Jake had taken her suit from. There wasn't really much in it. A roll of duct tape. A small plastic box with several switches on it. Something that looked like a tiny tractorwheel, but made of metal. A small globe of red rubber.
"So what is the meaning of this?"

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

Jake found an air duct on the ceiling next to the door. He pulled the thing free easily, it must have been rusty, and found that he could barely fit into it.

"Hey guys I`ve found a possible way out." He couldn`t see crap inside grat he was going have to go in blind.

Jake went to his locker and found nothing else inside. He turned toward Asma, "I`m going to crawl through that dct and hopefully arrive on the other side of the door." He gave the flashlight to Asma. "You guy`s need this more than me. Is there anything else you need before I head off?"

 

[Belinda35]

Dr Asma Fabis

Asma took the flashlight.
"I am not a guy, I hope you had noticed even in that suit. I will stay below the air duct, so be careful when you go."

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

Jake shook his head at her. He still had trouble concentration due to the side effects. Jake jumped up to the air duct pulled himslf up into it. He began crawling through the tight space and notice that the air ducts were dusty as well. So people hadn`t been doing maintanence. He eventually found a grating below him.
Jake pused at it and fell down into a hallway. He landed on his front and saw stars in his head. He got up and looked down the dark hall, but he couldn`t see a thing. The door behind him was the same one he had tried to open. Now he saw why he couldn`t open it. The door`s outer mechanism had been smash and the two wires that allowed the door to operate were broken in two.
Jake grabbed the two wires rubber parts and touched their metal ends together. Then the door flew open.

 

[Belinda35]

Dr. Asma Fabis

Asma heard the large door open. So he had found something to release it. "Your're allright?" she called. Then she went forward and looked into the next room.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Gabriel Thorn

"Fall back for God's sake, fall back!!"

A loud explosion and Gabriel woke with a start, he coughed, feeling something stuck in his throat, he opened his eyes and found himself inside a tube. First reaction was to panic, but instead he looked around him, finding IV tubes connected to him and some sort of pipe stuck down his throat. He also felt very dizzy, first things first though. He pulled the plasters that secured the pipe into place and then started to remove the pipe, gagging at the sensation as the pipe slid out of his throat. He slowly started to pull the IV needles out of his body, some so deep that he grunted in pain. Finally he was free and he looked through the glass, it didn't look good on the outside, flickering lights and mostly dark. He coughed to clear his throat and saw the release for the door, he tapped it, but there was no reaction, he hit it harder and still nothing.

"Fucking technology shit"

Pushing up against the door it budged slightly

"Open...sez a me"

Shoving hard the door flew open and he almost pitched head first onto the floor. He caught the edges of the door opening and looked around, coughing up some sort of slime that had worked it's way into his throat, he spat it out and looked up at the other people standing in the room, he managed a grin

"Heeeeere's Johnny"

He slowly got out and took in the room, this was not army and then it occurred to him that he only had on his underwear. He looked around, found a locker close to the thing he just crawled out of. He opened the door and found army issued overalls, he pulled one out and got dressed, finding boots and socks he pulled them on as well and hacked up more slime.

"Godammit, please tell me I'm not the only one who woke up with slime inside of his throat. I feel like I french kissed a damned Kraken"

He noticed that his name tag was removed and he wondered what the hell happened there. He faced the group and looked them over, not very impressive, but from the look of things they had also just woke up.

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

Jake stood up and saw Asma, "Well, looks like the power out is wide spread." He motioned to he hallway. "I`m beginning to feel that something must have-" but Jake was cut off as another cryo tube activated and a man came out.

Jake approached the man and held ot his hand, "Hey, my name is Jake Anastasio and that`s Asma Fabis." Then Jake went to explain what had happened to them.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Gabriel Thorn

He shook Jake's hand,

"Well Jacko, good to meet you, I don't have the foggiest who I am,"

He pointed at the empty space where his name tag should be.

"As you can see I have been stripped, so what's the plan? Any of you have something to drink perhaps?"

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

Jake laughed, "Well we were just going to get out of this room and find some food and water. However as for your name, I can check that computer there. It seems to have data on us, it should have everything about you on it."

Jake went to the computer and went to the screen with the names on it, "Looks like you name is Gabriel Thorn."

Jake got up and went back to Asma, "Ok we have a few goals. One is to find some supplies such as food and water. Second, we need to find out where we are so look for a map or something that will tell what we're in or on. Does everyone agree?"

 

[DeathsKnight]

Gabriel Thorn

"Sounds like a plan to me, I could do with some rat packs and water now"

He looked around and then focused on Leo

"Why do I get the feeling that I have seen you before? You from around here?"

 

[LeoHawk35]

Leo Storm

Leo watched silently as the door opened and the man from earlier, Jake, stepped back into their room. A cryo tube opened behind them. Leo turned his head to see who stepped out. The man seemed vaguely familiar. He remembered shraphnel hitting him and felt the pain of his wounds. But that was all. He walked quietly over to the computer to check his name. He wasn't listed. The hell? It said his cryo tube was unoccupied.

That couldn't be good. Was he supposed to be here? He felt memories just outside his reach that would explain this, but he got nothing. Great. The man who was the latest out of the pods looked at him. Gabriel Thorn. He knew the name without having to check the computer. Why that was, he did not know.

"Likewise." he responded after the first sentence. A brief shake of the head answered the second.

 

[Avellan13]

Jake Anastasio

Jake looked at everyone then spoke up, "Alright everybody we need to decide on a plan, and I`ve come up with two options. One is we go to the generator room, that the computer mentioned, first and get some power going. The other option is that we go find some food and water first. What do you all think we should do first?"
