His dreams were unpleasant flashes, his memories foggy and painful. Why... why would I do this? This can't be me. But it was him, and he couldn't escape himself. He was in a room, dimly lit with a light flashing as if it was broken or loose in its socket. He called out to the emptiness but silence answered him. Looking down at his paws his eyes widened as he saw the flesh and blood upon them. His breath escaped him and his eyes welled up with tears. Why... I don't... I don't understand.
He could hear a faint buzzing sound in the room nearby and he walked toward it, dreading every footfall. I know this room... the library. Why do I know this room? The buzzing grew louder as he crept closer, reaching to the point of deafening as he entered the room. His foot was wet, but he dared not check why. He couldn't see inside the room, the flashing light behind him only offering quick glimpses at... what? Furniture strewn about, water on the floor, books torn to shreds. Not water, blood. The realization hit him like a truck, sending him backwards and retching almost tripping over something on the floor. My brothers. My kin. The sound was everywhere now, piercing him, causing him to cover his ears to no avail.
The light hurt the most, but the screech of the cryo doors was a close second. Covering his eyes with his paw, he immediately recoiled and checked it. No blood. Just a dream. He looked around and tried to stand up and climb out of the pod but lost his footing and collapsed to his knees. Looking around him he saw others in or coming out of cryo and attempted to regain his composure.
Eyeing lockers in front of him he saw one with his name on it. Nathaniel Svent... I am Nathaniel. Every step was a fight, but he opened his locker and took the items it seemed were now his. Placing the keycard in the pocket slot of his cryo suit and putting on the earpiece, he heard the loudspeaker start to blare out something about an "Earth Program". He looked back at his keycard and saw "Earth" written on it, so he supposed that meant him.
Sighing softly, he stopped and looked around for someone who knew how to get to the Hangar.
