Randy laid there in his pod as it was slowly being decompressed and opened, air flooding to him as the seal popped open and the door opened in front of him. 

[color=ed1c24]"Welcome Mr.Sumpf to your new home. While you take time to acclimate to your new environment from being in that pod so long, I will be getting your PDA all together sir." [/color] Said a doctor as she was getting his records and things ready to go, and proceed from the point he was currently at.  Randy just laid there staring up at the ceiling and slowly squirming around on the slowly warming bed. 

[color=1b1464]"I was wondering what a caveman would feel like if he was being unfrozen."[/color] the man said kinda ignoring the woman as he just wanted to lay there. 

The doctor would smile softly,[color=ed1c24]"Well, you look like one since you haven't shaved in many years."[/color] the woman remarked as he placed the PDA on his chest, [color=ed1c24]"Right out that door with the others sir, you'll be in line for a little while so I'd say you should just stay in that pod a few more minutes until you feel like you can stand for a few hours.[/color] She soon left him to help with the next person that was needing to be opened in the civilian sector of work. 

[color=1b1464]"I wonder how long that line is going to last."[/color] Randy mumbled as he did just what the doctor ordered and he didn't move for maybe ten minutes until he had enough of the still cool pod and he decided to proceed out into a new life. He exited the room out into the nice galleria for those who weren't that involved in the military stuff. It looked nice and fancy, but he noticed there wasn't a lot of people. [color=1b1464]"Well... I'm awake, there isn't a lot of people, so thankfully I can get through this quickly. [/color] He said before going to stand in so he can get his things back, and so that he can find out where in the hell he is going. 

A few hours later, he found where he was going indeed, he had retrieved his items. They weren't much but they were his and able to be held in just three cases, two of which could be carried on top of the first one as he pushed it around. 

He had found a way to find out where he was going, the 'monolith', he mainly found out he was going to be apart of this crew as he was the best at what he did, well besides drinking. 

[color=1b1464]"That better be it, she looks like a god damned beauty!"[/color] he yelled out joyously behind the slowly growing crowd as he smiled at the ship, "Is that the monolith?"

Gothic awoke in a more simple manner, of shooting straight up as soon as he felt the life come back into him, he hit the door of his pod before it could fully open. 

[color=ed1c24]"Slow down there Ensign, or well.. Lieutenant Junior Grade Hessen."[/color] an older doctor said smiling softly, [color=ed1c24]"Welcome to your new home, once the door opens you can step out when you like and I'll get you looked over.[/color]

The LTJG nodded slowly as he held his nose, why was he so jumpy, at least someone else probably did that. 

[color=ed1c24]"You are youthful aren't you, normally as people wait a second before shooting up like that, or they just don't at all and I have to peer over to make sure they are alive."[/color] The doctor continued as Gothic stood from the pod and went over to a small table to sit on.

[color=ed1c24]"You aren't very talkitive are you now, well don't worry, I'm sure a good shower and some warm cloths after an ice bath as good as that one will make you feel just as fine."[/color] He took his pen and knocked on Gothics knee as it shot up, and he began his inspection. 

[color=1b1464]"I think once all the paperwork is sorted out on my end I'll make sure to do that... Maybe find a way to settle in and get some rest. I am supposed to be the night watchman for where ever I am being sent."[/color] The young officer stated as the doctor continued.

[color=ed1c24]"I'm sure you'll be happy with where ever they put you, and I'm sure they made sure that you'll be taken care of. You are one of the first from your batch of new explorers and colonists to be awoken, so I think they have the best suited spot for your talents young man.[/color]

That was a boost of confidence for him, he looked around and noted that he was the only one in that cell that was currently awake, and he would have to wait to see if any of his friends had been sent with him from back home. After some time and the doctors encouraging and hopeful small talk, he was released with a small box of items, a key, and a PDA. He had everything he needed, now it was just time to go do paperwork and enjoy the shift where everyone was asleep of what ever ship or station he would be assigned to. 



Several hours later, he found his post, the 'Monolith', and was sent in a direction towards it. 

Once he arrived, he checked his PDA, looked back up at the ship, and then he looked back down. 
[color=1b1464]"I am sure someone made a mistake... I am to be on the darkshift of this?"[/color] he had asked himself as he took one last look at the ship and he started towards the ship slowly and hesitantly. 

He listened to some idiot yell out the ships name, and then he took a deep breath as he entered the crowd, this was the monolith, well at least someone thought he was important enough to be on such a ship.
