Cartor regarded her steadily. „That is classified information,‟ he told her coolly. „But since you ask, I‟ll tell you this much.‟

„I agree with the Doctor. I don‟t think a human was responsible for that attack.‟

„So what was?‟ demanded Veena, reasonably.

„That, of course, is the sixty-four-thousand-credit question...‟ Cartor was smiling again, but without warmth.

„What indeed?‟

Dee couldn‟t put her finger on the exact point when everything changed; it was more gradual. The excitement of getting into the cryogenic chamber, and activating the ancient equipment, slowly evaporated to be replaced by an underlying tension, even fear. As she monitored the life signs, rising in strength on the readout before her, she became more aware of what it was that they were doing.

If everything worked as it should, they were shortly to be joined by Kirann Ransom herself. A woman who had been there when this project had first been announced. A woman who had been intimately involved in selecting and preparing the original group of colonists. A woman who had once been a contemporary of Dee‟s own great-grandparents but who would now awake apparently the same age as Dee. She felt an overwhelming sense of responsibility and glanced over at the Doctor. What if the stranger was wrong about all this?

As the cryogenic system shut down the casket began to warm up. The exterior frosting had already melted away and it was now possible to see the features of the sleeping woman inside. She looked peaceful and at rest but strangely absent; the same way a dead body looked. Dee swallowed hard, worried that she might be brain damaged or something. She pulled her eyes back to the readouts and was momentarily relieved - all seemed well. But then, right before her eyes, something began to go wrong. The levels of the various readings began to drop. A red light began to flash beneath the panel she was studying.
