— All systems of the spaceship in the normal, quietly sounded as if from everywhere a voice, obviously belonging to the computer, all vitals of the crew is normal. We are in the sphere of gravitational influence of the star HD85390. You've been cryogenically frozen for seven hundred and eighty-eight years, two months, and twelve days.

- Come on?! a middle-aged, athletic blonde with the name Freya Andersen on her patch and a playful smile on her face said.
