Don't worry — I've checked on the stasis room. [ It was Cain's first stop on the station, his first, most immediate concern. ] Everything there is in perfect working order.
[ Which is puzzling in and of itself. The rest of the station flickers, glitches, broadcasts static and strange noises. But the stasis room has none of those strange malfunctions. It could be on a separate circuit — should be, in fact, considering the importance of its systems, but still... there would be call for many such redundancies in a station like this, situated in the vacuum of space. That not a single glitch crosses the invisible border of the stasis room's doorway is curious. ]
If nothing else, our sleeping friends are safe, even if the Orbiters may not be. [ And Cain's glad he can at least deliver that reassurance. ] I'll take you there, if you wish to see it for yourself.
