The woman awoke. She felt colder than she had…actually, she wasn't sure if she had ever felt so cold. She shivered and her teeth chattered. There was a hissing sound, and something exited her throat, and two tubes came out of her nose. She felt a few more needles or something disconnect from her, and one slithered out from between her legs. Her legs felt surprisingly strong, but she wasn't sure why she would think that. A different hiss and a metal door with a window in the middle opened up, hinged on the top. She stepped out and the floor was very cold, almost painfully so.
She looked around and saw she was in a room with a hundred other tubes like the one from which she had just emerged. Other people were emerging. All of them wore sleeveless shirts and loose boxer-style underwear. There were men and women, in roughly even numbers. The lights in the room began to rise, and a quartet of armored men, each about four feet tall, and impossibly skinny, began to busy themselves with the tubes. Everyone looked around at each other.
A man suddenly appeared in front of her. "Commander?" The man said. He was somewhat translucent, and the Commander waved her hand through the man, who flickered but remained. He smiled. "Orders?"
"What?"
"Orders?"
"What do you mean?" Other people started to gather around. They looked as perplexed as the Commander was.
"You are in command of this mission to Delta Prime. You are on the New Earth? The Starcruiser?"
She looked at everyone else, and everyone seemed kind of blank. The hologram stopped for a moment and frowned. "Running diagnostics. Oh my goodness."
"What is it?"
"Your memories files…the memories files are corrupted. Your memories were all downloaded so they would stay intact after such a long hypersleep. Of 151 years."
The woman sighed. "What are we doing and where are we?"
Everyone else liked that question.
"You left Earth over a century ago. You are on a spaceship, orbiting a planet called Delta Prime. Not the original designation, but that was a number with some letters and…probably irrelevant. You are setting up a colony of the only survivors of the planet. An asteroid destroyed all life on Earth. You're in charge of mankind's survival."
"I don't remember anything."
A quick chorus of the others suggested that nobody did.
