Roberts made his way to the table.

"Does not sound that bad. Been and seen worse. If you need help with anything, let me know. Do you know how much longer until we get to our destination?", asked Roberts.
Roku raised her eyebrows in thought.

"If MU/TH/UR woke us up, we should be just off-world, I imagine. I think we have to wait for someone to hail the colony on Sutter's World to coordinate our delivery. The others should be around any minute now, probably still shaking off Cryosleep."

Asahi Ogai rubbed his head. ‘Oh fuck’, his head hurt bad. The lights certainly weren't helping, 'god', they just made his head feel like it was splitting. His mouth felt like a mixture of dry sawdust and sandpaper. 'Oh well', he was sure he could deal with this.

He sat up, trying to gain his bearings. He gripped his head, shielding it from the lights. ‘Alright, slow and steady wins the race’. He was doing alright. He could muster the energy and willpower to do this. He swung one leg over the side of the pod, and then the other.

‘God, this should garner a pay rise already.’ He felt like shit. He finally stood, steadying himself against the machine. He rubbed at his eyes, looking around at the other pods. 'Alright, so' Captain was still out. Good. Vera was also still out for the count, which was slightly less good, but Ogai was a big boy, he would muster up the courage to go and explore himself.

He needed food and water preferably. He walked to the food storage area, shielding his eyes every so often when a pain spike came upon him. He could already hear people there as he entered. Well, at least he wasn't alone.

Roberts turned to see Asahi walk in. He looked like he had been hit by a bus.
"Asahi, take a seat before you fall over. Here have some coffee", offered Roberts.

They were all dehydrated from hypersleep, Dr. Roku interrupted, “Ah, Ogai-san. Mizu o nonde kudasai. It’s better if you take some water first. If it’s really bad, I think there is still some Hydr8tion in the medlab.”

Ogai smiled a little at her and nodded, "Gotcha. I'll go and get some. Be back soon for my coffee." He turned and then stopped, "Wait, where in the medlab is the Hydr8tion?"
