The shuttle journey had been rather uneventful for Ragnar. He had sat in a chair positioned in the corner of the room and had listened to the guide as she gave her briefing. After this, he had seen the woman: Harriet, he later learned, make a break for the door. He didn't know where she wanted to go, but it was obvious from the start that she wouldn't get anywhere. The big marine had stopped her in her tracks with a simple move. Ragnar was intrigued by how the marine had stopped her with such ease! One day he would ask him about it.
Soon, they were all told to move into the shuttle. Ragnar began to feel the horrible effects of the deep sleep which he had been suspended in. The need to vomit welled up inside him, making him feel dizzy. He took a seat on his own, away from the others and fell asleep again.
He was awakened by a sudden jolt, signalling that they had arrived. Ragnar pushed himself up from the chair, and walked out with the others. The intense cold he experienced as soon as he stepped outside was colder than he would have imagined it being. He shivered, while watching three men walking towards them. They gave the group a short briefing, then took them inside. Once inside the door, Ragnar suddenly blacked out and fainted.
