"Maybe we might find something in Engineering, it sounds like they messed with the gravity first." Perk up at this: "Oh yeah, gravity! See, what'd I tell ya? Squids! They hate gravity, right, so that me-" Pause, put two and two together "Huh. Well then it probably ain't squids, dun' it? Anyone know...

Laugh out loud at the woman passing out cold, and slap Sukava over the shoulder "Tha-" uncontrollable laughing "Tha- oh man, that was a goddamn good one!

At this, a door at the back of the room slides open, and a small, portly woman peeks out. "The cryo inmates?" she whispers, looking over your faces. "Yes, it's you! You came." She steps out of the maintenance room and walks towards you, choking a little on the fumes; she's not wearing a mask or hel...

Try and check the metadata at the end of the video feed and determine if it was stopped intentionally, or by some kind of error It's a sudden break with an error code: "Event ID 41: The system rebooted without cleanly shutting down first." Either somebody pulled the plug, or something went very wro...

"...huh. T-there is no data. Divil the bit. Everthin cuts off after w-we left, an st-starts again just a b-bit ago.
