The huge spacecraft dropped out of FTL Flight without so much as a whisper of noise to announce its presence. Its hull a dull gray, along with the rest of the ship, it was nothing pretty to look at, however it was of great use to its occupants, who had travelled halfway across the universe, to this desolate and remote corner of the cosmos, known as the Milky Way. No ships had ever travelled through this place and none had ever come out, which was exactly why the ship’s occupants had journeyed such a long way.
Deep inside the twisting metallic corridors of the ship, the control light to a computer that had been on standby for 42 years began to flash and the computer’s electronic brain began to initiate its predetermined function. A cryogenic chamber suddenly began to release the air it had built up, as the rest of the ship was aired to capacity as well. With a hiss and a slow popping sound, the block of ice began to melt and did so for many minutes, before the naked figure of a man was lying in a puddle of water upon the floor of the chamber. The long dormant computer began to operate, slowly reanimating the naked man’s figure, until his consciousness returned and he once again knew who he was.
Jack Reus, 26 animate years old, his home world was Protheus, a rock barely fit for living conditions. Jack’s entire life slowly began to return to him, his childhood on Protheus, the day his father had sent him away, due to lack of food, to a school three galaxies away, his first love, joining the scientific sub group of the Galactic Governing Body known as FARE and being shipped to this dead Solar system. Suddenly Jack’s mind remembered what FARE was, Finding and Reanimating Old Earth. What a joke, Jack’s mind laughed, as his atrophied muscles tried to engage sufficiently to lift his small frame from the floor, Old Earth is more of a fairy tale than anything else.
Finally, through a huge force of will, Jack hauled himself to a sitting position inside his Cryogenic Chamber and looked around the Cryogenics Room. Many people were frozen in the same kind of chambers as he; after all, if they were to explore the universe for Old Earth, the occupants of the ship could not die of old age before they got there. There were men and women among the crew of the Space Craft they had dubbed “Groaner”, for the sound each and every crew member had made the moment they heard about their field mission, each of them were top minds in one field or another, with one exception there were absolutely no weapon experts or weapons of any kind on Groaner, the reason behind this was the unfortunate “Incidents” previous FARE Forays into uncharted territories, bad press was bad for everyone associated with the organization.
Jack slowly lurched to his feet, having to pause to catch his breath, supporting his weight on the metal handlebar protruding from the side of his Cryogenic Chamber. He scoffed at the sign that hung above his Cryo unit, it read “Home Sweet Home” someone had a cruel sense of humor aboard this ship. Slipping on feet that had not moved in forty two years, Jack Reus slowly made his way to the computer console and began to go about his duty, unthawing the others. After he hit the controls and began the laborious unfreezing process, Jack got to his feet once more and stumbled to one of many lockers arranged about the Cryogenics Room. From within he withdrew some underwear and a black form fitting jumpsuit. Jack frowned when he thought about the way the jumpsuits had been tight across well honed muscles when they began the voyage and how his muscles were now nonexistent. It was a tough job getting into the clothes, but Jack managed it.
Going back to his chair in front of the computer console, Jack slowly pecked at buttons, setting up the exercise routines, as the others unthawed and slowly came to life. Each crew member would have to begin their work out slowly with a 100 yard walk three times a day for two weeks, before they could move up to a 200 yard walk for another two weeks, then they would be allowed to commence running and upper body workouts that would put them all into Planet side shape in no time, however it was extremely unlikely that they would ever leave the ship, Old Earth was a myth and nothing more.
This is purely an exploratory RP; there will be no violence of any kind towards each other. No weapons either, these people are scientists, not Mercenaries.

Home World: Protheus
Expertise: (Dual Expertise) Linguist and Recovery of Old Technology
Personality: Exploratory
Biography: Born on the rock known as Protheus, Jack Reus had to contend with others for the food he and his family had to have, this gave Jack a dull view on people in general from a young age and since then, his thoughts haven’t improved a great deal on them. However, with each piece of evidence he sees, Jack secretly prays for a world untouched by the ravages of the new kind of humanity.
At the age of 10, Jack’s father had finally saved enough to send his only child away from Protheus and to a school in the most settled Galaxy, something that permanently scarred the young Jack in a way few children have to endure. As Jack Reus grew older, his adventurous spirit grew, but so did his inner resentment of his family, who, as young Jack saw it, threw him away.
Jack excelled at learning languages, even from a young age, when he began learning Sign Language from a deaf boy who was his roommate. In fact, Jack became so good at language that when he graduated from school at 23 he was commissioned by FARE and began his work there, learning the languages of this so called “Old Earth”. Chinese, Japanese and Russian were his first languages, but he believed they were all a load of bull shoveled down from some eccentric General or Senate Member.
Now Jack is as far away from FARE HQ as possible, in a forgotten and long ago abandoned corner of the Universe known as the Milky Way.
