Exaltica: The Eden Awakening Saga
Episode 1: Sin Denial

"Emergency power conservation is in effect. All non-essential systems have been taken offline."

The recording of the woman’s voice is the first sound you’re able to make sense of. A dull ache of annoyance in the back of your head suggests that you’ve heard that recording before. You’re pretty tired, though, so your eyes flutter shut again and you drift back down into the depths of unconsciousness.

"Emergency power conservation is in effect. All non-essential systems have been taken offline."

Just as you’re about to fall asleep again, the recording plays again. It’s starting to get really annoying. You probably won’t be able to get any sleep until it stops. You suppose that means you’ll just have to get up (even if only to stop that blasted recording). It makes a pretty good alarm clock.

Your feet touch the floor uncertainly. You’re not sure if it’s because you’ve been asleep or because the artificial gravity in the ship is acting up, but you have a hard time standing up straight. Wait a minute, why are you on a ship?

As you try to gather your bearings, memories flood back to you in a disorganized heap of imagery. It takes a few minutes to sort everything out and arrange the memories chronologically. There must be something missing, though; no matter how you put together the disjointed pieces of your memory, you just can’t figure out where you are or how you got there. Maybe looking around will provide you with some clues.

The only lights on in the ship are the dim red emergency lights which illuminate only the essential areas. Inside rooms (whose heavy metal doors you must manually slide open because "Emergency power conservation is in effect. All non-essential systems have been taken offline."), it’s almost completely black.

The ship you’re on is fairly large; you’re able to gather that there are six decks and a sizable docking bay. Too big to be personal transport. A supply ship would have a larger cargo bay.

More importantly, where is the crew? And where is everyone else?

You’re all located on deck 3 and wake up in different cabins. Features on this deck: Cabins, storage, lift (deactivated), stairs.

Lars stared around at everyone, seemed like a lively bunch, but enough talk, this whole ignorance over what was happening was alredy getting on his nerves, despite him not showing, he let out a short 'ahem' and then started. "Well, first things first, considering there's no one here but us and we're currently on and since..." He started mimicking the ship's system voice. "Emergency power conservation is in effect. All non-essential systems have been taken offline." He then returned to his normal voice, chuckling and continued. "The first place we should go to look for anyone else should be the bridge. In case we find something there or not, we should then head over to this ship's main power source and see try to find out what triggered the power conservation systems. Also to probably figure out how much time we have until we run out of enough power so even the "essential systems" can be kept online." Lars glanced around one more time, trying to see an exit to the hallway they found themselves in. "I'm pretty sure i saw storage room door somewhere around her, we should go for it and search around, it might have something useful, hopefully we can find some kind of spare batteries or energy source or something before -" Just then, a loud beep came from Lars's arm, it's lights all slowly shut down and the arm simply "died". Lars sighed. "Before that happened..."
