Caleb sat at the table in the mess hall, relaxing for a bit before he went to wake up the rest of the crew. Yet again, everything in the room was white. Mission control must have thought that it would be soothing. And in standard NASA fashion, they went with efficient spatial design over comfort of use when creating the spacecraft. The mess hall was a simple corridor with a long table in the center of it. One wall was covered in lockers for storage while the other had two ovens, a microwave, sink, and counter top. It wasn’t much too look at, or even use for that matter, but it was better than no mess hall at all.
“Soothing?” Caleb thought to himself. “This place isn’t soothing at all. It’s maddening. Whoever thought that color would be a commodity.” And with that final thought, he stood up and headed back to the stasis room.
Once in the stasis room, Caleb walked over to the first pod. Next to it was a small control panel that showed the vitals of the occupant. Below that were a series of commands to help stabilize the hibernation of the astronaut inside. Caleb quickly scanned over the buttons until he saw the one he was looking for: Awaken Sequence. He pressed the button and then the screen changed. The words “Please place hand for proper authorization” appeared on the screen with a rectangle below them. He placed his hand up on the monitor, at which point it was scanned and the screen turned green with the words “Authorization Accepted” across it. On he went to the next pod.
Five pods later, Caleb was done. In a few minutes the first person would be waking up, and the training would begin.
