"Has the bay been prepared?"
"Yes Director" F.I.L.L.S. replied.
"The pod is safe?"
"Yes sir" said the technician. "The generator is damaged, no leakis detected."
"Director, are you sure it is wise to...?"
"Silence, councilor. FILLS."
"Cryostasis unit online Director, awaiting your command."
He walked towards the cryo-pod. "Open it."
"Opening cryostasis unit 0407."
The ice began to disappear. The Director was now two metres away from the pod. The door opened and a young woman began to fall out. He stepped forward. She rolled, stood up and as she span him around, wrapped an arm around his neck.
"Okay, Question 1: Where am I?
Question 2: Who are you?
Question 3: What the HECK is going on?
Oh, and you had better answer quickly, if you want this guy to live."
"I am the Councilor. That is the Director. You are currently on board the 'Mother of Invention.' We just released you from a failing cryostasis unit. Would you please let him go?"
"Prove it."
"Alright FILLS play video file 99452."
"Affirmative."
The screen on the wall blazed into life. The frigate 'Saviour's Sacrifice' was being attacked by Insurrectionists. The woman let go of the Director, watched as escape pods left the ship. A huge black-purple orb grew in it's center, imploded, and everything inside was vapourised.
"Agent Sunrise I am sorry to inform you that Ragnarök is dead. You are now an agent of Project 'Freelancer'. You will be given a new codename and rank." A white and red armoured person whispered to him and he frowned. "After a medical examination." They glanced at the Director.
"Aand a three day recovery period," he ground out. Even in full armour, the small person managed to give off an aura of slight smugness. Long suffering, he turned and gestured,"This is Dr Ross. She will explain your situation." he paused, attention diverted before it snapped back to her. "Dismissed."
'Sunrise' turned and followed Dr Ross out of the room.
