I hate everything about today. Don't get me wrong, while I have unsettled feelings I do want to go. But all this Pomp and Circumstance for show is bullshit. Almost like a military funeral. Fake emotion to put on T.V. so that everyone can feel better about what they're about to do. Which is essentially exploiting our situation, sending us to a possibly dangerous area and committing us to an unknown life. Forever. But the risk might be worth it. We each leave no family behind and our lives here … well I can't speak for the other guys, but I was in a constant state of panic. Nobody could tell yet, I think I hid it pretty well, but the ulcers from my esophagus to my stomach. It wasn't a life.

After the last picture was finally snapped, we were able to get into our cryo-chambers. We've been instructed on how to enter and exit the at length, but we were still supervised and checked from the outside. There are 2 different back up systems for our chambers and the ship itself in case of malfunction for any reason, both on separate generators for extra security.

Our course is pre-set to the Corlian landing pad but our chambers should wake us up one week before we arrive. My eyes slowly get heavier and soon there is darkness.

Notes

So my first shouts outs are to my reader/commenters and nobody has been there for me more than @chemical _30 If you like fantasy/sci fi, check out Burn Bright and Bright me to life if you have your Kleenex handy. So talented. Check everything out.

@partypoisonlives4ever has so many stories and they're all GREAT. If you aren't reading them you're missing out. For fantasy/sci fi, No Shows and of course Party Poison. But seriously there are many wonderful ones to read.

@meekarue I've been obsessed with If I had it my way, I swear... for so long. Check out Lipgloss eyes and Venomous Corpses as well.
