I just had an idea
Okay, so, for the first time in history, mankind is going to leave the solar system for new lands. It's a huge giant ass colony ship. With around three million people on it. Earth is a bit of a mess, but that's backdrop to the story.
Our cast of characters are special, though, among everyone else who boards the ship. The roleplayers are put into cryo-sleep. The journey would take a generation, so everyone else is expected to have children.
So the cryo-sleep people are put under. Mysterious circumstances arise, the cryo-sleep people wake up to find the ship a mess and nobody is around. Something terrible happened on the ship and the players must investigate what happened and try to survive the ruins of a dead space craft.
One of the key elements to survival I imagine being in there is surviving the cold. Space is cold. And since the players start off with no actual clothing on because of cryo-sleep, it'll be harder to survive. Food or water won't be a problem because I intend to have the players find a big stash of space-food early on because nobody really likes to look for cans of beans.
The thing is, is that whatever mysterious event happened on the ship that apparently wiped everyone out, happened almost just as they were about to reach the planet because, as space travel goes, it's not that far away.
the people in cryo-sleep are all young, because I don't think people would invest in expensive cryo equipment to bring along a person in mid-life; considering the idea is that these young cryo-sleep people will live a long life on the planet they are going too.
So yeah.
First scene: Going into cryo-sleep
Second scene: Literal instant transition to hell because that's how sleeping actually works.
Anyone interested?
