Robin inspects the frighteningly big needle, even though his head is somewhere else, trying to imagine who is the owner of the muffled "hello", which was barely heard right before the feminine robotic voice. After staring at the glowing liquid for a bit, he decides to patiently wait for the needle to do its job, half nervous, half looking forward to have his full senses again.

(Sorry for such a late post)

Togham never liked needles, but he trusted the voice when it said that the injection is necessary for full recovery from stasis. He did his best to stay calm, although he couldn't help but shake a little out of nervousness.

-EVERYONE (Except for BEAT)-

The needle apporaches your neck, and then penetrates into your vein, releasing the glowing yellow liquid in your blood. You cannot describe the sensation: It feels like it's burning inside, like you are receiving electric shocks directly into your body. It hurts a lot, though, it feels good. All your senses are regained at once, and suddenly, you are aware of the heat, the smells, the textures around you, and you can finally view and listen to your surroundings like you once were able to. If feeling alive had a description, that would be it.

-BEAT-

The cable approaches your exposed neck, and connects to it, directly inserting electricity into your system. Though, not the electricity you are used to. It felt different. It felt a lot stronger. All your remaining systems and modules were awakened at once, and suddenly, you are aware of everything around you. The only systems that seem to not be working yet are the speaking module, and your weapons.

-EVERYONE-

You can finally, after long 50 years, move your body freely. You can feel everything around you. And it's cold. Extremely cold. You can now see a lot more beyond the transparent glass; the structure of the place with the thousands of pods was made entirely of metal, with the only source of light coming from the pod you are in, and the other pods around you. After a while, you can feel movement. You cannot describe if it's your pod moving, or the entire ship. By looking around, you can see all pods are moving automatically, through some kind of electrical rail. Though you can move now, you cannot exit the pod; all you can do is wonder where it could be possibly leading you all to.

Another wave of shivers violently shakes Saturn, though whether it's due to the prickling pain of the glowing serum or due to the unexpected new wave of cold washing over their body, they can't say. "ROBIN!" they impulsively call out, unheeding of the pods in the vicinity. Saturn glances anxiously toward Casper and Stuart, trying to see past them and down the line of naked bodies. Robin is all that matters. They instinctively begin to play a nervous tune to themself; Our first song together, Saturn realizes. It brings back a flood of bittersweet memories of home.

Green yelps from the cold and instantly collapses in on himself, still embarrassed but also wanting to keep himself from the cold. After calming himself from the brief eruption of panic, he gently places his hand over his rose, patiently awaiting the time to leave the pods. He hears voices around him but chooses to ignore it. It occurs to him that this cold, mechanical location is highly unlikely to have any nature in it.

And then he yelps and collapses into himself again.

[How big are the pods? I don't think it's been specified. I'm assuming they have some room to move around in them.]

Jay stumbles backward from the needle, smacking into the side of the pod behind him and collapsing to the floor. As he shivers from the cold, he suddenly realizes his current state of dress, which is non-existent. Well wasn't that nice of them. He looks through the window to the other pods. At least I'm not the only one sans clothing. Though that's not much of a comfort considering the current temperature. Why is it so blasted cold?

BEAT whirred loudly and violently as the cable connected to his neck. Powerful shockwaves shot through his body and he rattled. After a few seconds of this the cable retracted, leaving BEAT dazed and smoking slightly.

UPDATE: SOME SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN RESTORED. 2 ERRORS FOUND.
VOCAL SYSTEM FAILED.
WEAPONRY SYSTEM FAILED.


Once he had recovered, BEAT suddenly felt a lot more alive than he did before - he was receiving a lot more information and was even able to move. However, upon trying to speak all that came out were the same chirps and crackles, and according to his info (he didn't dare fire off his chaingun in such an enclosed space) none of his weapons were restored.

BEAT attempted to look outside his pod. He could see rows upon rows of pods, all moving along a rail. It was then that BEAT realised his pod was moving too, which made him slightly anxious as he couldn't defend himself. Upon further inspection, he saw the pods adjacent to him had humans in them.

"Grr..." Casper grits his teeth a tiny bit and starts stretching his joints. Being his age, the cold stung past his skin and shivers were prominent in his body. However, at least he knew how to deal with the cold. He keeps himself moving as much as he can, doing his best to keep his blood flowing. For now, he'll just have to wait until he breaks out of this damn place.
Expect something cool here soon!

Upon regaining her ability to move, Marge immediately curls into a ball due to the cold temperature. Couldn't they have at least put a temperature dial inside the pod? As she shivers, Marge looks at the pods around her and watches as the people in them move around, all while hoping that she'll get clothing soon.

Tania breathes heavily. She's suddenly more aware of her surroundings, but it's still a very unfamiliar sight. She tries to fiddle with whatever's in the pod to try to open it.
Some day I'll fix my sig.
