Chapter 1: Waking up and learning something.
"Doctor! The subject is experiencing a seizure." "What now?" Yes, his vitals are unsteady as well, wait, he's calming down. I think he is-Doc-" "Move...Quick get him back in the Cryo, we can't sustain him in this state, nor could we-Wait his eyes...they're not moving-He's awake! Dave, is you can hear me, I am a doctor, I will make sure you are alright. I promise you..."
Unknown area, Date not known.
Soft...So soft...My head...Hurts...Wha...Happened? His arm felt heavy as his brain sent a command to move. It twitched once before he gave up."...Patient...ak...up doctor..." A whisper nearby could be heard, followed by footsteps. "Patient two...one...three...Dave. Is that your name?" He just lay there, unseeing, trying to think clearly. "Is your name Dave?" The doctor spoke slightly louder than before, but held a caring calm about it. "I...uh...wa..." His throat was dry, voice cracking. He felt cold...something...on his bottom lip, parting it from his upper lip. Water slowly flowed into his mouth. He swallowed, the cottonmouth feeling washing away, taking some pain from his head. It wasn't until then he had realized that his eyes were still closed and tried to open them. At first they refused to move then, slowly, they slid open, revealing a plain white room with no windows. The doctor was a causation man that looked at least thirty.
"Your name sir?" Dave looked at the man instead of answering, further inspecting him, his tag identified him as a one Dr. Kidman, Cole. MD. His worn face with a seemingly casual look about it was betrayed by eyes of blue showing patience already tested. "Dave." Was all that he uttered as he turned his head, trying to take in his surroundings. Pain burst into the base of the back of his skull. He cringed and let out a mix of a groan and a yell. His right hand groggily moved to the back of his neck but was stopped by the doctor's much stronger grip. "It'll go away in time, just take it easy, nice and slow...You were in an accident, a miracle you lived they said. I would agree with them." The doctor moved Dave's arm back to his side and did something with a strange looking device, it looked like a PDA. "Where are my folks? They would want to see me." Dave spoke out of concern and curiosity, something put him off and he didn't quite like it. Cole stiffened then relaxed so fast, Dave thought he imagined it. "Dave...When you had the accident, you were uh...You were in such a condition that...There was this new thing that was the only way to save you...Your family gave consent and we uh...We froze you for..."
Cole looked at this square like device. "...says here about three hundred years...You're the longest existing human to be cryogenically frozen...Your case was special and you were put away for along time, we nearly forgot about you until just last week. We had the technology we needed to save you only forty years ago. Look I'll sorry, your whole family died worried sick about you, but they were died happy...Your brothers and sisters had children who had children and so on, you can go visit them when your released from here...Sorry kid." Doctor Cole Kidman looked as sorry as he sounded.
Dave just lay there, staring past Cole...His parents were either always at work or taking him and his brothers and sisters out to eat or swim... "All gone?" Dave couldn't believe this guy's story..."Yes, look I'll-" "Doctor! Doctor Kidman! You're needed in ER 5! Yellow light!" Cole looked behind him at the nurse just half way in the door way. "That kid again? I'll be right there." Cole looked back at Dave. "Don't worry, you'll regain strength momentarily, just relax and stay away, practice flexing that should get the blood flowing again." With that Cole turned and walked out of the room.
Turning his head slowly, Dave could see the glass just on the bed stand. His arms still would only twitch when ever he tried to move them, so he began to flex both his arms. After fifteen whole minutes, the veins in his arms had risen against the skin and he began to sweat slightly. He stopped and made another attempt for the glass. While he was flexing his arms, he had been flexing his fingers as well. His arm moved towards the glass. His fingers wrapped around the cool glass and tightened until he had a firm grip. He took a breath and pulled up slightly. The glass moved slightly from the surface. Dave then brought the glass closer and touched it to his lips, letting the water slowly flow into his mouth. It was fresh and tasted sweet. He took the glass from his lips and raised it slightly to look at it; nearly all the water was gone. He moved his arm to put it back but only managed to bump the glass on the edge of the bed stand. He lost his grip and the glass hit the floor. Almost...
Sitting up proved difficult, but he managed to do it and put his back against the wall. He began flexing his legs. Within ten minutes, he was sitting up right, feet on the clod floor and readying himself to stand. "Okay...I can do this..." He pushed himself off the bed and stood in place as he regained his sense of balance. Smiling to himself, Dave stepped forward and nearly slipped on the spilt water. "Whoa!" He grabbed onto the bed stand and took a deep breath. "Watch it..." He stood straight again and walked away from the bed and stretched. Blood rushed into his head, arms, and legs, making him light headed and disorientating him. "Whoa...wow..." He shook his head to help clear it up. Shockingly the pain that was usually there was gone.
The door opened and a nurse walked in. She jumped when she saw him out of bed and nearly shrieked before turning her eyes and shielding her eyes. Puzzled Dave looked him self over and quickly discovered why. He was naked. He turned and dove into the bed, nearly over the side, and threw the thin covers over himself. "Uh...Sorry..." The Nurse seemed to find something funny as he smiled and gave a small giggle. "Just stay like that for now...wait...I don't remember seeing you up before..." This bothered Dave slightly. "What you come in here to have a peak or something?" Dave moved the covers as if concealing a secret. "Oh please, nothing like that...I'm supposed to check on you at least once a day..." This didn't satisfy Dave, but he had more important questions. "Where are we, and what year is it?"
"It's twenty-second of January, 2324. Earth, Happy People Hospital, Earth, Sol System." Dave stared at her dumb founded. "You have got to be kidding me!" The nurse just kind of shrugged and walked out of the room. Dave sighed; with nothing to do Dave spoke loudly "Could you get me some more water please? Or at least a set of clothes?" Having no clue if any one heard him, Dave rolled out of the bed, the side opposite the door, and began doing push-ups.
