ALERT: UNKNOWN SYSTEM ERROR 101
ALERT: UNKNOWN SYSTEM ERROR 101
ACTIVATING EMERGENCY REVIVAL PROCEDURE
The message repeated itself over and over again on the small screen inside the hyperspace hibernation pod. The words meant that the ship's computer had encountered something en route to the destination that it was not prepared to deal with.
That in and of itself was not particularly surprising; space was infinite, and there were a lot of things that could crop up along the way between systems. But there were other pods, whose inhabitants were in "light sleep" intended to be quickly revived in order to deal with such problems. This particular pod's inhabitant was not scheduled to be awoken until the vessel, the science ship Archimedes arrived at its destination.
As the pod opened, its nude inhabitant would see why; all of the other pods were already deserted. There was no one else around.
