Security camera transcripts. 10 minutes before full systems failure:
Three people were standing in the medical bay.
Carol Walsh, M.D, age, 26
Andrew Walsh NP, age, 28
Steve Walsh NP, age 23.
All three are registered aboard the ship as siblings.
Carol
no, we cannot play a D&D game. It's been less than an hour since we got out of cryo and we're going to make landfall in another 20 minutes.
Andrew
Steve, I know you're antsy about finding some new players. but there are only 30 people on the ship that are awake. How many of them do you think actually know how to play the game or want to.
Steve
well, since Carol doesn't want to play at least 29.
Andrew
chuckles, we can't just go around kidnapping people for a game they have their own jobs to do and we need to let them do it.
Steve
yes, but how often do you get to say I played D&D in a galaxy far, far away.
Carol
That's, that's science fiction, not fantasies stop getting them mixed up.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Steve
what, they had magic there. So the phrase I used works.
Andrew
look we really got to start getting the equipment ready for opening cryo pods. We need to make sure everybody's okay. They have been asleep for over 2,000 years, and I bet a few of them still have a hangover from the night before.
Steve
yeah, I should go get a few cleaning bots for when they throw up. I hate waking up. Cryo drunks.
The ship shuddered slightly as it entered the atmosphere. The alarms went off 10 seconds later.
All hands to escape pods or cryo pods all hands to escape pods or cryo pods. The message repeated inside of the Medical Bay. All three of the medical staff immediately run to cryo pods and jump in. Cryo pod Activate successfully.
An Unknown security officer and engineer rush into the room and entered two of the cryo pods. A man wearing a standard crew uniform ran through the doors and entered into a third cryo pod.
Cryo pod activation: activation error insufficient power to activate the three remaining cryo pods.
