Nothing. There is nothing—no trees, no ocean—just nothing but rocks and mountains. The land was dark orange; nothing could ever thrive in this place. On one of those mountains, there was a large gate, and what led inside was a secret underground base. It was pitch black, and everything was completely in place beside the built-up dust and cobwebs. In one of the other rooms, there were two people lying still in their pods; they were in a cryo-state, both a male and a female.
Silence fell in this room other than the roaches and rats scurrying around. One of those rats came onto the control panel searching for food. As the rat began scurrying carefully one paw at a time locating where the food smell is coming from. It accidentally pressed the emergency power button. The light came on as the power began to hum, the rat scurried away. The pods began to hiss as the hatch slowly opened, as fog rushed out and spread onto the ground. More and more fog slept through as both hatches were fully open. The male that wore pajamas was the first to awaken as he stretched out his arms and let out a yawn.
'Oh, je suis fatigué/(Oh, I'm tired)' The man spoke; he had a French accent, and his name was Ezekiel Petrov, a lead scientist and designer for the jaeger. (He is voiced by A.J. LoCascio, the voice of Gambit from X-men'97.)
He had a slender build, standing around 5'10, and dark brown hair that was slightly wavy. As he began to step out of the pod almost subconsciously, he quickly pulled back his feet remembering that stasis units when open always leave a cold floor in front of him, putting on his slippers in the pod, with the image of an atom placed on the sole with each slipper proceeds to walk out. He walks to the bathroom, then turns on the lights, grabs his tooth brush, puts toothpaste on it, then proceeds to brush his teeth. As he begins to brush his teeth, he notices something wrong with the bathroom mirror. He drags his finger on that mirror and realizes it has built up some dust. Wiping away the dust on his finger with his robe, Ezekiel pressed a button that was on the left side of the light switch. The button made a buzzing sound before it stopped, as Ezekiel continued to brush his teeth. He heard the familiar sound of a rocket blast coming closer to the front door. Ezekiel walked over and opened the door, he saw Codsworth, the robot butler, was there hovering at the opening. Codsworth for the first time in a long time seeing that he changed very little from the awakening of his stasis pod to the time he first built him.
Codsworth was outfitted with a sleek metallic torso serving a double function as his head and body attached to the torso were three visual sensors in a stalk-like protrusion. Underneath the torso were three metallic tentacles segmented with various tools, for various tasks. But there was something wrong with him; instead of his sleek metallic torso, he had dulled and rusted all over his metal body becoming a far cry of its original self.

'Codsworth?' He asked, spitting out the paste in the sink, putting back his toothbrush in his pajama pockets.
'As I live and breathe, it's you! It's really you!' Codsworth yelled joyfully.
