Air, she needed air.
Kara convulsed violently as her body desperately fought as it remembered how to breathe. Coughing violently, she felt around for the emergency release for her pod. Sensing her distress the pod silently hissed its lid open and Kara stumbled onto the floor, greedily gulping in the air surrounding her as she rested on her knees and elbows.

Kara Smith was born in the year 2184, and joined Project Icarus as a volunteer colonist, being put into Cryosleep in 2213.

He kneaded his lips together. "You are not a warden," He croaked. At hearing his voice, raspy from underuse, I stilled but nevertheless nodded. He visibly gulped, as if the air was choking him, "But you are not human either." ********** Alice Proctor's world is dictated by two vital aspects- survival and revenge. A linguist for Earth's insurgence, and the one of the last survivors of an invading imperialist force, she has dedicated her life to ridding earth of a far superior race known as the Oriehns. When she is taken by a rogue test subject with ulterior motives in mind, Alice aids the rebel force the only way she can- accepting the alleged foreign ancestry forced upon her to gather crucial intel while aboard the Oriehn Lunar Station. But just as Alice thinks she knows what she wants, a month living amongst the welcoming culture of the Oriehns and an impending siege on the mothership has a way of twisting her opinions. ********** ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved.
