CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! You defended and repaired an alien ship containing the only survivors of an unknown civilization. Once again, you are heros!Vision or hearing impaired? Click here for a description of the above video.
The hatch of the ship slides open. The Princess, Hero and a gaggle of other characters are silhouetted in the frigid light that pours in from the outside.
They walk through the silent, echoing ship, marveling at its alienness. They finally stumble into a massive cargo bay filled with cryopods. As they enter, the lights turn on in succession to reveal them laid out into the distance. They walk between the cryopods, wondering, peering into them. Then they find a panel. The elven scientist touches it and it lights up. The word “Translating…” appears on the screen.
Elven Scientist, reading what is on screen: Thank you for rescuing us.
The screen changes.
Elven Scientist: Systems are now stable enough to wake the Scut’el.
The screen changes to show a single human/humanoid hand print on it. The characters look around at each other, and then, with some nervousness, the elven scientist presses her hand against the hand print on the screen. The hand print fills up, and then the lights change. Steam hisses from the cryo units. All characters turn to stare, open mouthed, as the pods open.

Those new character profile backgrounds are epic though, lovin the trend of "fallout vibes" alot of em give. The DNA ones will look great on my newest character once I finish his profile.
