New Dawn (Wandering Engineer)
“It never was a good thing to go to sleep angry, and going into cryostasis angry just aggravated the problem. He couldn't help it.
It wasn't that he was helpless in a life pod that had angered him. No, such rare situations were woven into his training.

Helpless he watched the sensor feed as the ship's pods were picked off one by one. The enemy was merciless, no quarter asked or given. The ship had made one last ditch valiant effort, engines flared to life on overload, emergency thrusters burning with reckless abandon to keep her on course with the enemy ship.MoreLess
