By the time the computer has read off the thirtieth error message you're awake enough to begin remembering where you are.

Several years ago the governments of Earth meet to address the issue of overpopulation. After weeks of serious deliberation a solution was announced.

Anyone who wished to leave Earth would be given rights to large chunks of land on a foreign world and provided with a "sleeper ship" to get there.

Your ship, known only as "74-8", carried over five hundred people from all over the world, including you, your parents, your two older brothers and your younger sister as well as enough food and supplies to establish to start up and supply the town you were destined to form.

Something was wrong though. The computer was only supposed to announce an error message if something had gone wrong in one of the beds but as you stand, still waking from your multi-year sleep, the computer is reading off errors for nearly every bed.
