DOA + 1 - Cryo guinea pigs

Played on November 14th, 2010

Last night

Before we went to sleep yesterday evening quite a lot has happened, but my recollection of these events is somewhat vague, possibly due to the weirdness of said events.
After our cry for help from within the engine room, we were told to hide out in one of the vehicles. After a long while, Rusty, Knut, Gert and Joris arrived in that room and they sat in one of the other vehicles. There was some driving around; These damn things handle so much worse then my Ford 2K2, so apparently I scratched a bumper or something... typical.
After the men are done playing with cars we discover that there's something weird going on in the WU room. Jayden is pointing a gun at the CEO. I think we then went back upstairs to find out what was going on with them.
Once upstairs, we discover Jayden is piss drunk, I've seen alcohol poisoned frat boys in a better state than this. More searching and using the communications panel in the process we discover what happened to the fourth vehicle, which I mentioned it had gone missing. Apparently smarty pants Abigail decided to "drive" to the other ship. I tell her we'll see what we can do to help her, but I fear for the worst, may her soul rest in peace.
I doubt we'll be able to actually do anything for her as somehow both our ship and the sistership are moving again. With all these weird events and thoughts Manon-Therese and me decide to bunk in he medical bay as that's where the comfy beds are.

Waking up

some kind of epiphany this night and has decided to come clean with everybody. Now I've read about events like this of course, but I'm quite skeptical for now. But I'll give him a chance before passing final judgement. It's not that we've got much choice aboard this ship who we can spend time with.
Also the techy guys have determined that restarting the ship has caused it to set sail for Gnapho II again. But it'll take thirty years to get there. I think we must quickly determine how and what we should do in the meantime, and getting back into cryo is quite high on my priority list.
When I learn that the nausea we're all suffering from comes from far travel in combination with not being in cryo makes it an even higher priority. I check medical for some medicine to reduce current far travel effects so we can at least function at a decent level.

Cryo expermenting

The CEO is already working on it and with the help of Jayden (suspicious to say the least) he enters his pod. When I learn of this event I quickly start checking it out to see if I can deduce how exactly the cryo process starts up. Looking through the viewing screen of the pod, I see all the tubes attached to various body parts, but the thing that startles me is the small drops of blood coming from the corner of his mouth. They freeze up the second they come into contact with the gas inside the pod, but if he keeps on bleeding like this he'll be dead quite soon.
We decide to see if we can help him, but we'll need to get him out of cryo first. Via the panel someone has activated a cryo deactivation sequence, but that'll take about an hour to finish, judging from the percentage countdown timer.
As waiting around for the timer doesn't make it go any faster, I start to prepare to go into cryo myself. I gather some extra clothes and the warmup bathrobe and put them inside my personal chamber.
Then I hear a loud yell for help, I think from Gert, coming from somewhere down the hallway. He has found the CEO who is bleeding even more now. Waiting for the timer isn't going to save him, so we consider it time for more drastic measures. Knut makes a hole in the pod and we remove the body and bring it over to the medical bay to examine him. After a few checks I can already determine that the CEO isn't amongst the living anymore. That is really bad news if we want to use the cryo option to survive the next thirty years.
I use the medical encyclopedia on the main screen to try and perform an autopsy. With a lot of luck and determination I find out something about cryo startup drugs which apparently he has forgotten to take. To make sure my conclusion is correct, I ask Rusty to collect more people who, like the CEO, look like raisins and have experienced a failed cryo sleep.

Guinea pigs

As I really need to make sure that my ideas and medicine are the correct ones I'll need a guinea pig to test my theory. As I couldn't stand to decide for others who'll go first I decide to base it on "luck". I grab a bunch of wooden spatulas and break one in half. Then I go around the ship requesting that everyone gathers in the WU room and having them pick a spatula at random.
