Oxygen and pressure levels unstable. Commencing emergency Cryostasis release.
The words rang through his conscience like an alarm. Gregory felt his entire body jolt to life as the loud whoosh of the Cryopod door swinging open filled the room. He struggled to pry his eyes open as he felt his body lean forward with gravity, a wave of nausea overcoming him. He couldn't stop the empty gags as his body attempted to rid of what little nutrients remained. It took him about ten minutes of crouching on the cold, broken floor before he decided to get up. Grabbing onto the edge of his Cryopod, the young male strained to stand on his feet, arms and legs shaking with weakness.
Gregory's golden brown eyes squinted as the sunlight peeped through cracks in the ceiling, blinding him momentarily. When the blurriness faded, he scanned his surroundings, noting the debris filled room. The floor was no longer a beautiful, pristine white, but a murky brown. The walls were worn, as if someone purposely came and destroyed them. His foot wobbled and he winced at the sound of broken glass and debris beneath him. In fact, all around him were shards of glass and rocks. Confusion began building in the pit of his stomach and he could feel the nausea returning. How long had he been in Cryostasis? He had to get out... but where... no... he needed to check the other pods for survivors.
The auburn hair-colored male took timid steps as he was still gradually becoming used to his own weight. While the pods near him were all shattered and bodies long gone, he could make out unscathed silhouettes a few seconds away. As he made he short journey, he began realizing there was not a single exit. Every doorway was destroyed and blocked by wall parts and stone. The only place that could be considered an escape route would be where his pod was. The hole in the ceiling was large enough for a single person to crawl through, as long as they didn't injure themselves whilst climbing the mound of rocks which led up to it. No. No... you can't leave yet. A doctor must never leave without double checking for survivors. Gregory thought angrily to himself.
Arriving at a Cryopod that was in better shape than he was, he dusted the dirt off the clear surface. It was too dark to see through the glass and the dirt didn't help. Without any warning, however, the latch opened and the release of gases into the air hissed. Gregory's heart pounded as he took a few steps back, eyes widening with caution and alarm as someone came forth.
