It was all coming back to her now\u2014the events that had brought her to this place. The famine at Anuva Station, the long fearful months as the crisis became a catastrophe, and her father\u2019s secret project to save her.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are my youngest child,\u201d he\u2019d told her. \u201cYou have a greater chance of surviving the cryofreeze than any of your siblings.\u201d As usual, his obsession with efficiency as the station\u2019s chief engineer came before his emotions. But when she\u2019d looked into his eyes and saw the sadness there, she had known that he did this because he loved her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat will it feel like?\u201d she asked. Even if going into cryostasis was the only way to survive, the thought of it terrified her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thawing and freezing process will put quite a strain on your body, but while you\u2019re in cryofreeze, you won\u2019t feel a thing. Years could pass\u2014centuries even\u2014and you wouldn\u2019t know it until you wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n

She stared at him with wide, frightened eyes. \u201cCenturies?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes. There\u2019s no telling when the next ship will come, or what they\u2019ll find when they get here. But there is an upper limit to the timeframe for revival. In eight hundred standard years, Anuva Station\u2019s correctional jets will fail. Orbital decay will crash it into the surface anywhere from one to three hundred years later.\u201d<\/p>\n

His brutally efficient analysis had never given her much comfort, but at least she knew that he wasn\u2019t hiding anything from her. He\u2019d never hidden anything from her, not even the hardest truths.<\/p>\n
