You entered stasis alongside thousands--dreaming of a new world.
You woke to metal screaming and the howl of decompression as most of them were torn into the void.
You clawed free, hacked the emergency override, and sealed the breach.
You survived. Everyone with Command Authorization didn't. You can't open the pods without authorization. Ark station is your only hope.
As you close in, that hope sours. There is no welcome beacon. No hail from the automatic systems.
You dock with the silent hulk and step into a graveyard of cold, dark corridors.
The heart of the station is dead. Backup life support is failing. More than a thousand colonists are still trapped in stasis, unaware their time is running out.
You stand before the silent reactor and pray it will start.

SYSTEM ONLINE
You've got the reactor up and running. Now you can see the Ark Ship Stasis Bay.
It doesn't look good. People are dying by the minute.
You should increase power to the system immediately.
Once that's done, there's got to be some way to increase the integrity. Can you get the station's repair drones back online?
You'll have to hack the Command Authority system to give you level 2 access.
SOLAR EVENT DETECTED
What the hell was that? The whole station was shaking.
That's bad. You've got to get the Solar Forecast back online to see what's going on out there.
ANOMALY DETECTED
You notice a slight vibration and the integrity of the systems appears to be falling a bit faster.
That's not the solar flares, that's something else.
Also, is it getting a little warmer in here?
WARNING
What is going on? Radiation is spiking, but there's no flare.
You need to get the Orbital Status back online ASAP.
You've got a bad feeling about this.
ORBITAL ALERT
The station is falling into the sun.
If it passes the Roche Limit, there's no pulling out of the descent.
You've got to get the thrusters back online.
LIFE SUPPORT STABLE
Finally, you've stopped the bleeding. Nobody's dying in the stasis bay.
That's good, but if you want to wake them up, you'll need Command Authority Level 8.
That will allow you to hack the emergency override.
