A massive alien ship and a human in a small pod, in cryogenic sleep, thousands of light-years away from earth. What could go wrong and how will he get back to earth? -------------------------------------- Notes: I felt tired one day and thought that I could use a long nap.

I hope you like it :) It's just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn't have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

Cut off and hunted, their fate entwines with mysteries far greater than themselves-of relentless foes, and sacrifices that echo through eternity.

When the lights go out they all must work together to escape, and all they've got to drink is booze. Follows PB to some extent. RxOC
