In his quest for something edible Hanson heads off to rummage through the cargo the food stores.
As he opens the door he realizes that something is wrong. His eyes fall on a body sprawled on the floor. The body is wearing one of the Bellerophon vacuum suits. Just as he is registering the scene he realizes that something is not right with the air.
"Sabotage!" he gasps as he puts it all together. Hanson considers his options; alert the crew or check on the downed crew member?
"If someone had waited for help to come I could have lost more than my legs, lucky for me there was a hero around." he thinks to himself.
Steeling himself, Hanson mutters "My turn to be the hero" as he takes a deep breath and charges in to drag the fallen person to safety.

When I can’t hold on anymore, I let go. I drift. I fly. I settle down. I coast down. But I don’t drift away. I stay exactly where I am. Just here. Nowhere to go. Just here. I can only settle here. I fight it at first. Try to push it away. But it keeps coming back. I’ve been awake for so long. So long. I just want to close my eyes, and sleep for fifteen years. Like I should have. I should have slept. Maybe I wasn’t tired. But I am. I want to drift away and never come back. I want to fall asleep and never wake up.
And so, I fall. I sleep. I sleep with no dreams. When I’m awake, I dream. When I sleep, I don’t. Maybe being asleep is my normal state. Maybe when I sleep I’m actually awake, and when I’m awake, that’s me dreaming, and so, sleeping. How interesting of a question…
When I awake, I’m slipping. Slipping and drifting. But not into sleep. Far away from it. I’m dragging myself. Crawling. My feet start to kick up as I try to stand. Something’s wrong. Something’s very wrong. Why was I in there? What was I doing?
The ship. The ship is in danger.
We’re all in danger.
The ice.
I need to wake the crew.
[OOC: Gary starts to trash about erratically, trying to grab a hold of anything as Hanson is dragging him]
What happened? What was that just there? What was that just here now and there?
No time. No time. Too little time. Not enough time to spare. Can’t stop to think because there’s no time. I wish I had time. Maybe if I got more than one watch I’d have more time. But then, what is time. I experienced 15 years of loneliness. Outside, more than 1200 years have gone by. Am I 15 years older, or 1200 years older.
No time. Hurry hurry. If I stay too long in one spot, I’ll get cold. Cold like ice. Cold like ice water. Like debris from a comet.
The ship.
Have to wake the crew up!
[OOC: Gary will go into the closest hibernation chamber and start waking people up, randomly :P]
Jorgensen replies, “Maybe, what you want?”

This one, I've seen. I've seen a few times. Maybe it was one that was similar. Maybe he's got more time than I do.

I don’t know which elevator we are in, I am assuming Elevator 4.

Jorgensen looks at Larson’s wrists, while quickly typing a text message to Foss. “Larson in Elevator 4, heading to deck 2, have under observation.”
He then turns to Larson. “No, no extra watch. What are you to do?”

I smile at it. Compared to the other ones, it seems much
calmer. Must be my submissive side expressive itself.
Jorgensen replies, “Yes”.
He then grabs Larson’s feet and waits for Donovan to lead him to sickbay.

The elevator doors open on Deck 2 instead of the intended destination, to reveal Lou Donovan waiting outside. In a single quick motion, Lou Donovan reaches forward and injects Larson with a tranquilizer. He catches Larson as he starts to slump. "Can you help me carry him to Sickbay?"
