In 2104, the mankind put down its weapons and aimed for the stars. A worldwide space program has been assembled and soon, space missions are frequent and humans are venturing further into space than they have ever before, thanks to new developments in technology.

In 2107, deep space scanners picked up a strange, unknown signal from deep within the galaxy. After many meetings and much negotiation, construction has begun for a space ship that will go beyond the fringes of the Solar System into uncharted territory.

In 2110 the crew was selected and construction of the ship was finished. Relays were launched into space to quicken the pace of information that the ship sends back. The crew was put into hypersleep and the ship left Earth faster than any rocket had ever gone before.

Now it is 2112 and the ship is now near orbit of the destination. The crew awakens from hypersleep and must prep the ship for landing.

John leans back in his chair, watching the planet that they'd traveled over 2 years to get to, through the window of the slowly spinning midsection of the ship. He'd just begun to recover from the years of being under the deep frost of hypersleep. He was waiting for the others to join him in the white, modern looking dining room where he was currently sitting so they could go over what procedures they'd have to carry out on the ship.

I woke up because of my alarm i checked the time and saw it was time to eat dinner.just as i was about get up i remembered we had to go over procedures and crap like that."Eh they can wait better save my food though."I went to lay back down and drifted back to sleep.

She woke up from her hypersleep. Her eyes slowly opened as the tube started to configure itself to let the personnel out. It's been...what? Years? The hatch to the tube opened, opening to her room. She got up and looked around, It's been awhile...I need to catch up recent times and data. She carefully stepped out of her hypersleep chamber and headed to her bathroom to take a shower. Later, she dressed herself with business attires and a labcoat on top of it. She took out glasses from her labcoat's pocket and putted it on. The hair was done, before she stepped out of her room. She took a tablet with her that recorded data, information, and latest news for the past two years she missed. A scientist. Though...an unusual one.

Although the crew had only recently begun to wake from their hypersleep stage, SAMA had been awake - if such a concept could be applied to a droid - for the entire journey, and was as energetic as ever. She tottered around, greeting the crew as they came. It had been two years since the humans had walked the ship, but the small grouping of management droids had kept things tidy and in order. It had been pleasantly quiet, but SAMA had eagerly awaited this day, when the humans awoke, even though the droids were not often given much attention. Emulating happiness, SAMA ambled down the corridor to the hypersleep chambers to make sure everyone had made it out.

John casually glances down from the window to the watch on his wrist. It was set to Earth time, so it would be only useful as a stopwatch once they touched down on the planet. He pulls up his tablet and checks on the other crew members. He sees that the two others have awoken. He stands up from his chair and walks over to the intercom by the doorframe. He pushes down the transmit button and begins talking. "Once you are ready, please report to the dining area. Over and out." His voice echoes over the PA system.

Another robot roamed the dining area, setting up the meals for the crew. "Greetings. I am glad to see you and the rest of your crew coming out of hyper sleep"It said to John, once it noticed him. "Would you like your mel no, or owuld you like to wait for the others to arrive?"It asked.

"I'll hold off on eating until the other get here." He waves the bot away. "Actually, on second thought,just get.me a cup of coffee." He walks back to the table, checking his tablet impatiently

She would appear in the dining area, but still glued to her tablet. She would give a wave and say, "Morning". Sitting down at one of the chairs, she would continue back to obtaining information from whatever discovery happened while she was away, as well as emails and notes from other professors and scientists.

Overhead, the speakers clicked to life. "Once you are ready, please report to the dining area. Over and out."

At this, SAMA ran a few scans in her built-in computers -- when the doors had been opened and where, the state of the hypersleep chambers and their former occupants. She found the positions of the crew and, satisfied, rambled back to the main dining hall. She keyed open the door, which slid up with a single silent command.

"Excuse me. We are nearing the planetary orbit of LX-112. We will need to initiate the landing process shortly. May I be of any assistance?"

The robot nodded and headed over to the kitchen to start brewing a pot of coffee. "With or without creamer?"The root asked, turning to look at John.

"Hello Yuzu. You slept well I take it?" he quips and then says aside to the robot, "Not at the moment SAMA, but do stick around because we might need you soon." He turns his attention back to Yuzu, "Now. As you may know, we are nearing orbit of LX-112. There isn't much to do for you regarding landing other than to just prepare all of your equipment so we can get as much as we can done before nightfall." He begins walking out of the dining hall, "Oh yeah, no creamer please. And bring it up to the cockpit would you?" He grabs the ladder that connects the outer ring of the ship to the rest of the body. He climbs up and the artificial gravity fades away. He pulls himself down the long hallway to the cockpit, where he drifts into the pilot seat and patches into the comm in the hypersleep chamber where the other crewmember was. "Zero, get up, now. Get your stuff ready, we're about to enter orbit and touch down."

The only reason i got up was because we where about to land and i wanted to eat.I got dressed in my clothes and made way into the dining area to get my food."Whats up."I said to my fellow crewmembers as i sat down waiting for the robots so i could tell them what i wanted.

"'What's up?' Direction is relative, even with artificial gravity in place," SAMA answered politely. Though she was present, she monitored the ship's main computer with part of her consciousness, making sure everything was going smoothly. She looked up at Zero from her short stature, clasping her metal hands in front of her torso. "May I help you?"

She nodded in response, but no words came from her. Continuing reading the tablet, she said, "200 mL of coffee. 100 mL of milk. If there is none at the moment, 10 mL of creamer. Add 7 grams of sugar. Please put them in a closed container. Repeat the process four more times and put the rest in my refrigerator. I'll have something to eat. Anything will do."

"Why you always so picky about that stuff?" Asked another crew member, a wild and plant life specialist by the name of Zoey. "Black coffee with some eggs."She said, sitting at the table. "Of course."The robot said as the coffee brewed. It went over and grabbed hte other ingredients placing them on the counter and waiting for the coffee to be ready. "Glad to finally be out of hyper sleep."Zoey said. "We need to discover worm hole tech really soon, so we don't have to worry about taking years at a time to travel across space."Zoey added.

"Yea can i get two boxes of pizza and a bottle of orange soda."I asked the robot.

SAMA nodded obediently and walked off towards the food storage area. She returned a few minutes later, carrying the container of pizza atop her head and steadying it with her hands. She set it in front of Zero. "My apologies. I will be back with your drink." She left and returned with the beverage, holding it out to the human.

I grabbed my drink and said"Thank you."Then i began to eat my meal."Damn haven't had some Pizza and os in a while."As i took a swig of soda."SO whats this expedition all about John."I said after eating my food.

She nods, "It would be a challenged discovery. Worth the effort and difficulty." She is still glued to her tablet, scrolling through information quickly. A fast reader.
