“Wake up, TCK25. They’re waiting for you.” uttered the soothing artificial voice, followed by the jarring sound he had become all-too-familiar with; a large metal door whined as his hibernation chamber opened.
“Everything is set up, your final task awaits.”
He stumbled barefoot out of the bay door and onto the cold earth below. The engines were deafening as the ship immediately departed behind him, becoming a distant flash of light as it disappeared into the red skies above.
A crowd had already amassed, surrounding him with hopeful but desperate expressions.
“You’re our last chance.” he heard amidst the indecipherable chatter.
He was back. The haunting recollections tried to slither back from the deepest recesses of his mind where he had forced them years ago.
Although it would likely end in his demise, he was going to finish what he had started.
