[Neutrino 47]

You have been in cryogenic sleep for over 150 years. It's like the worst hangover ever. You see a grey blur behind the frosted glass. It is Howard, the doctor (and engineer), if you remember correctly. You begin to feel your limbs as you awaken. His voice mumbles asking you "Can you hear me?!" through the semi-cylinder tube. A second later the vascular imprisonment hisses open. "Damn thing was jammed... Ah! So you are awake! Let me get the other one... *spamms a keypad to the neighboring tube* can you remember your name?" the cold tube informs the doctor (in a sexy/cheesy robot voice) "Prosess complete. *Cock-a-doodle-doooo! Sound plays*"

Night Comb coughed as he came out of his pod. He felt immediately disoriented. He closed his eyes, hoping to keep his stomach down. He bumped softly into an object and slowed down. The beige stallion opened his eyes and sighed, grabbing onto a nearby handle.

 

'I...I'm Night Comb. Volunteer and odd jobs mainly...'

"Annnnd the files agree! Welcome to... *flicks his hoof to begin holographic display. The display flickers and fades away, glitched and broken* ...Ask the captain *sigh*. You remember your pay once you return?" He asks, more confident that Night doesn't have loss of memory. The last time Howard was put in charge of the cryogenic chambers, the entire crew was vegtablised. He wasn't making the same mistake again.

 

The soft drone of the ships drive reminds the team that they aren earing their destination. 'ConForza7'.

Optyx had already been on the ship, the life support in the docking bay had thankfully been salvaged before the ship went offline. Optyx couldn't do anything right now until a technician came here. Optyx was a sitting duck but still had connection with people on ground telling them that a crew was being sent up there now.

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb nodded. 'I feel fine, if that's any consolation...what happened here?' He asked, looking around the dimly lit cryo storage. Pods lined the walls. He wondered if any other ponies were in them. 'And where did the rest of the crew go?' He asked the scientist in front of him.

[Neutrino 47]

"Excellent question! Ah, I don't know. How about meeting your fellow pilot" Manison displays a strangely happy tone.

 

Captain Sunset Hurricane announces (using the comms) "Entering sector, Losing speed. I would advise against moving around until we stop decelerating. Sunny out." The ship is facing away from its target, spraying a tiny cloud of anti-particles to kill velocity... Eight kilometers per second relative to the station. The spacecraft was called 'The Dulu shard'. It was currently being used for a rescue mission, and by rescue mission, I mean dead crew recovery and station repairs.

@@Neutrino,

 

Volt woke up on the ground, facing the crycell

 

"what.. what.. the hell... where am i? what happened? for all transistors and fluc capacitors.. my head.. it hurts so bad.. ngh.."

 

Volt said leaning against the wall trying to get up

 

"what is this? a ship? damn it.. what did i signed this time? stupid imported cider... ngh..."

[Neutrino 47]

The metallic walls flutter and shudder violently. Compression. The force of the ships drive slightly squashing the ships inner, flexible layer. Creeks, groans and slipping plates are highly audible. Then silence.

 

"Thank you, mares and gentlecolt, you have reached your destination. If you are present in the cryogenic bay, please feel free to use the toiletries on your left. If you are ready, climb the ladder on your right and we may begin docking to the station. Sunny out" the speakers crackle and fizz.

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb moved to the ladder. Better go now rather than later. He climbed up it and came to a small square room. Likely and airlock or something similar. He looked around to a locker bolted onto the floor. That must be the equipment. He opened it and found weapons, rations, and other small survival equipment. He shut up, knowing it wasn't the best idea for him to go through it.

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

@@Neutrino,

 

Volt heard the metalic voice, his hoof still pressing on his head

 

"ngh .. what? station? aw hell now i remember.. i signed for the engineer help required... damn me... i hope they will pay me enough to get away of my damn sector this time"

 

he mumbled washing his face

 

"i look like a shit,,, at least i still have my soldering gun... "

 

he said looking in the mirrow at the scratched old tool

 

"well.. off we go.."

 

Volt said flying up the little stairs

[Neutrino 47]

Howard re-checks the cryo 'to do list' and begins vasodialating. "Wait right here" He canters off towards a far chamber and fills in the keypad command. The pod opens and dribbles small amounts of water. "You defrosted earlier than expected" Howard insensitivity jokes.

[OG Blaze 269]

Optyx laid his head down on the ground and awaited in the docking bay for a technician crew to come and tun the damn oxygen back on. He wondered how long he'd been waiting her and not been doing anything at all, if Optyx could he would already moving all around the ship. Optyx turned his sound wave optics and looked at the sounds near him, he thought he saw something but wasnt sure

[Neutrino 47]

The 'Click-klank' of docking reverberates throughout the ship. Suddenly, all the lights cut out...

 

Red emergency lights flicker up and spin. "Warning, Warning. Loss of pressure. Warning, Warning. Loss of pressure." a dull, robotic voice universally informs.

 

Soon the dramatic episode ends when the pilot hoppes down from the ladder. "No need to worry! Dulu is an old girl, malfunctioning. I will be your team captain and operator for the duration of this mission. I am Sunset, but call me informally -if you wish- Sunny *normal lights return* Nothing to worry about. *checks notifier on leg* It seems like we already have a signature. To the docking bay everyone!"

"what the buck is that?!?"

 

Volt shouted ending the stair

 

"stupid computer where is your mainframe?!? i don't want to die in this metal box! ANYPONY! IS THERE ANYPONY! CELESTIA DAMN IT! DOCTOR ELECTRON VOLT REPORTING! ENGINEER! SECTOR 678452056! ANYPONY!??!?"

 

Volt screamed punching a metallic wall!

[Neutrino 47]

"Do not panic!" a small communicator makes a tinny whisper. It is on the floor, not metres away from Doc Volt. "This is the ships captain! The airlocks are shut yes? Locked? Don't open them! Do not open them!" Hurricane is worried that the airlocks are locked because the other side my be the empty vacuum of space."The entirety of nothing could be pulling against that wall you just hit!" he adds.

(can you please mention me when you reply? it really helps me i am doing lots of rps and it helps me to see if one is repliyng to me, to mention an user just highlight some words of his post and click "mention" on the small black window with the three buttons that appears)

 

"What the hell!?!? i just want to get out from here! and i could use some oxigien too damn it! "

 

Volt said checking the airlocks

"yes those old mud ponies tecnology is closed! but i really could use a way out sir!"

[Delernil 952]

'Wait, what?!' Night Comb said, his eyes darting between them all. 'I thought you said we were docked! Why aren't we?!' He asked angrily. The captains incompetence had nearly cost them their lives. He sighed. 'If we are docked, why are you so worried about being sucked into the void?'

[Neutrino 47]

@Delernil

 

"The ship is not what it used to be. In fact, old Dulu is about the third the size of what she used to be. It's a miracle she is still stellar worthy...I'm afraid that we may have to use parts from the station to fix her up. I assume one of you knows Hull assembly, Being mechanics and engineers?"

"Is there a serial code on the airlock? Numbers or letters? I could find out the atmospheres between both sides of the door...checking notifier* Yes, I could... Anything?" Sunset talks into the communicator Mic. "We need to get to the controller centre. Without scanners, we are pretty much blind. And trapped. And if we don't get to the stations life support manual override, we are also dead." Hurricane flatly states. "Ah yes there are some... Luxury supplies, But they are kept under lock and key...I must remind you that we need to function together doc." The captain was bastardising his control over the engineers and doctors. Bella saw this and whispered a gentle phrase into the pilots ear, which then perked up. "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that." After another lean in of the quiet mare, Sunset nodded and paced away with the biologist towards the bridge (up the ladder).

@Doc. Volt,

 

The ship seems to inhale around Volt... Then the red indicator light on the airlock double flashes with complimentary beeps. Click and hiss, the airlock opens with the indicator light changing green. "Your welcome, doc" Wispers Bella on the comms.

The lights started flashing and sounds kept coming from each direction, after a minute or so it stopped and everything has returned back to normal. Optyx wondered what the hell had just happened. Well screw waiting for the technician team he would have to start on his own. Optyx turned his sonar on and started walking through the halls wondering if he'd run into any pony, or any thing for that matter. Optyx kept walking until he thought he saw something pressurize and a blue Pegasus start to walk out.

[Neutrino 47]

@Burning Endurance,

 

"How the... What are you doing here?" Sunset calls out from the small distance between them, instantaneously noticing Optyx. "And how did you not set off any alarms?" The door behind Sunset slams shut, startling him. "The buck?!" he swears, spinning to face the airlock.

[Delernil 952]

Night Comb stepped out behind everyone else. He heard a crack and the airlock shut behind them.

 

'God!' Was a he said as he jumped away from it. It nearly caught him. He breathed slowly.

 

'What...the...buck...' He sighed as he looked around to see the other pony. He looked him over. He was a blue pony with a blueish whiteish hair. The beige stallion stepped forward. 'Who are you?'

[Neutrino 47]

(some weird conversation triangle? I'm confused...)

 

A high pitch voice giggles behind the door. The airlock hisses. "As your commanding officer, I demand for you to stop!" Sunset shouts at the metal barrier that he had recently walked through. Creepy echoing laughter emits from the opposing side of the airlock, which flashes from green to red -to show that it is locked-.

Optyx didn't reply and instead walked closer towards then. As Optyx walked closer he pulled out a paper with the signature from the contract he had signed for this mission. Optyx turned off his sonar and turned on the night vision to show characteristics of the two in front of him. Optyx handed them the paper and stood there awaiting a response.
