Ilsa’s eyes fluttered open as the cryogenic chamber hissed softly, releasing her from the deep sleep. Her muscles felt stiff, her mind foggy. Slowly, she sat up, her body protesting with every movement. The cold metal floor sent a shiver up her spine as her bare feet made contact, grounding her in the present reality. Blinking away the remnants of hibernation, she glanced around, her sharp gaze taking in the stark, sterile surroundings of the hibernation room.
Ilsa's reflection caught her eye. Standing before the full-length mirror, she observed her body—her breasts, firm and full, and her ass, round and taut, the result of years of rigorous military conditioning. Her long silver hair cascaded down her back, the strands falling messily over her pale face. She traced a finger over the scar on her hip, a memento from a battle long ago. Pulling herself together, she moved with the grace of a predator, heading towards the exit.
“What the hell’s going on?” Ilsa muttered to herself, her voice edged with irritation. “We were supposed to reach this damn planet in a few years, not… now. And why are there only two cryo chambers active? Where the fuck is everyone else?” Her thoughts were sharp and swift as she made her way to her quarters.
Entering her room, she was greeted by the opulence of her personal space—a stark contrast to the utilitarian design of the rest of the ship. Luxurious furnishings, soft lighting, and the faint scent of her favorite incense filled the air. She quickly donned her suit, the snug fabric clinging to her curves, accentuating her powerful physique. With a flick of her wrist, she activated her holo-watch, scrolling through the ship’s surveillance feeds. Her eyes narrowed as she spotted a figure in the center of the ship. A man. Alive.
Ilsa moved swiftly, her steps echoing down the empty corridors until she reached the center of the spaceship. The large window dominating the room offered a breathtaking view of the stars and passing comets, a reminder of the vastness of space. Her gaze shifted to the man before her, who appeared as disoriented as she had been. Without wasting time, she barked out an order, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.
“You there, what’s your name?” she demanded, her tone cold and commanding. “Did you just wake up too? Answer me, mechanic—I don’t have all day.”
