Aria woke with a start.

For however long she had been put into artificial sleep, she had experienced nothing but constant and vivid dreams, and at first there was no way for her to know that this was not just another vision in her head. She felt her heart start up in a fast beat in her chest though, which was something that was not supposed to happen until she awoke.

After the confusion and delirium had lifted away the girl began troubleshooting the situation. It was still dark and cramped, and therefore she was obviously still secured in her transport container. A hissing noise by her left ear indicated that some hose or another had been knocked loose from her complex setup (she couldn't say what it did, but it must have been important because it came complete with an ominous flashing red light at its connection origin). Reasoning that - were she being properly cared for - somebody would have come to check on her status by now, and in fact wouldn't have handled her container so brutally as to knock her setup into disarray, Aria could only assume that something had gone wrong.

Her neck hurt, and her limbs were stiff, but that didn't stop her from violently kicking open the lid of the box.

The clatter resounded through the cargo bay. Aria stood - a thin, sterile white suit clinging to her body (leaving nothing about what was underneath to the imagination), double-thick black gloves on her hands and a black gas mask over the lower half of her face; her burgundy-brown hair dripping with some bio-fluid or another. She immediately bent down and picked up a long metal bar with a vaguely crescent shape on the end. She couldn't have named the object or its function, but based on its weight she reasoned that it could be used as an impromptu weapon, which was exactly her intention should things prove to be dangerous for her here. Looking around at what "here" entailed, Aria showed the usual minimal emotion in her eyes. Then she sighed, a sound that was unnatural and almost robotic coming from her.

"What in the ass-fuck of hells am I doing in this dump?"

Walking stiffly and tentatively, Aria began searching for an exit.
