Loretta was in a one of the smaller Cryo-labs, much like the one she had sealed off from everyone except herself. The difference was while hers was full of vials, test subjects, cages and medical equipment that had questionable appliances this one was empty. In the centre of the room there was the dias for the pod to sit in, a terminal in the corner which she currently worked at and a medical droid was in its charging cradle in the side of the wall. This was ridiculous, she had known about this moment for months. Though she wasn't even going to be [i]part[/i] of it. Instead some lower level technician was going to be present solely for [i]religious[/i] reasons.

The first person in one of her cryopods, to be woken up in her bay. Well, the second if the empty pod was any indicator. However this was the first to be woken during the defrosting process, and rather than all the battery of tests she would usually have ran the occupant was going to get out of the pod straight away and then walk away to some religious ceremony. She would have thought the people of Earth would have moved beyond such silliness by now, though she supposed religion seemed to persist even with the existence of reason. She had seen the shift in recent years following the Three Day War, and it made sense. In times of uncertainty people turned to something that made themselves feel safe, secure.

She wasn't really one for it all, but so long as it didn't interfere with her work she had never really cared.

This counted as interfering in her work.

She looked up at one of the religious fanatics who worked her way around the room setting it up in preperation for her leaders [i]awakening[/i] or [i]rebirth[/i] or whatever it was they called it. Noting that she wasn't being watched she input a command protocol into the medical droid to have it scan and record everything that happened during the ceremony.

After all, what happened here may aid her own experiments. Once she was able to return to them at least, though she couldn't afford the security agent from finding out and sticking his nose even further to where it didn't belong.
