I hate slip space travel. Not so much the transversal of the space-time continuum but the cryogenic freeze sucks. I hate the taste of the super nutrient, it tastes like it looks: green, slimy, bland, and bitter. No matter how much you brush your teeth with sonic, water, mouthwash, anything you can't get it out for a day. Spartans are almost always frozen because we are "non-essential operational personnel."
Any way I don't even see why they wake us up when we sojourn between systems and orders; it just makes us suffer through the thawing process twice. Well it is one of the few times I can talk to my fellow Spartans without the distraction of battle surrounding the conversation. In some ways I enjoy it, but it is always awkward because Spartans only know war and so far we have all fought the same battles, so we have nothing to talk about save our feelings; and Spartans really suck about that because we've always been trained to focus on the matter at hand, always not to think about our attachments because they can instantly disappear.
None the less I converse with my fellow Spartans about things that randomly come to mind. I some what talk about the battle, more or less we speculate about who will get top honors on Onyx. I mostly talk with Angel; we are by far the most talkative in the cryo bay. At first I think it is a little odd that my other Spartans are so demure, but then I look from their perspective and I realize we look a little odd to them. I don't mind, I tend to be a pay attention to what Angel says.
Her hair is at the maximum 16cm permitted by the UNSC, it is sandy blonde and her eyes are such a pale green it is hard to believe that they have not been artificially recolored. I am much more average looking, when compared to my fellow Spartans, I keep my light brown hair shaved pretty close and my eyes are cold and grey. We actually look alike in more several ways, we both have high cheek bones and very similar eye shapes, and we are both about the same height. All Spartans have clear skin thanks to their SPI suits in which they spend most of their time, the SPI suit is a 99 bacteria-free, climate controlled environment.
