[WP] After being cryogenically frozen you awaken in a large spaceship with what remains of humanity. They only woke you up to experiment on you, but after hundreds of generations in a low gravity environment, they are hilariously weak compared to you | "John?"

The eery high pitched voices reverberated around the cabin. John fluttered his eyelids.

[WP] Upon reaching the level of interstellar travel we discover that the human race is woefully under-equipped to deal with any alien species in any capacity.

[WP] Humanity is isolated in enclosed cities, the only method of contact and transport between them are heavily armored and well armed military trains. The reasons for this are unknown, but one thing is feared by the humans and that is a derailment in the middle of nowhere. | I was nervous as hell. As a soldier assigned to the armored surface rail transport unit, this was my fifth trip.
