It was cold, so very cold when you awoke. It took you a moment to acclimate yourself to your surroundings, but your memories quickly flooded back to you, your mind suddenly remembering why you were in such a tiny and cold pod.
You were in space, light years away from your homeplanet, on a Seed Class ship. You had volunteered to be one the many colonists to land on a recently terraformed planet, in a galaxy outside of the Milky Way. You were to be the first generation of a new type of space colonist… But something was wrong. The procedure was supposed to have you be awoken by an attendant, not like this.
A voice suddenly entered your head, as you realized there was a speaker in your cryopod.
“Goodmorning! You have chosen, or been chosen to participate in semi regular maintenance on the ship. Usually, general maintenance like this is performed by droids, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it is required that several sentient organisms to aid in the efforts. Participation is mandatory. Please feel free to get acclimated to the other participants who have also been awoken, and await for official instructions. Do note that almost all parts of the ship are now open to you, so know that you are allowed to spend your free time anywhere abroad.”
This was going to be a long day.

The year is 6037 A.D. and space is no longer the final frontier. Humanity has spread its wings and has taken to the stars, meeting with other sentient species who have also escaped the gravity of their home planets and have begun to expand their empires. For a while, different species battled for control over the glaxy, until a peace agreement was made and The Coalition of United Species was founded.
For the first time in years, a peace was formed between nearly every sentient species. There was one problem with this peace however. The Milky Way had been explored, and every species was given a fair share of planets and space space, but as time would pass, over population would become a real threat. The answer to this was looking beyond the confines of the Milky Way galaxy and expanding further. The Tiara Nebula Star System was estimated to be a perfect place to set up the first outer galactic colony. A automated ship was sent out to terraform a planet dubbed Irkalla Two to make it habitable for sentient life.
Shortly after, the second phase of the plan was set into motion. A star ship called the Rendezvous was created with the purpose of harboring various species to this new planet with the hopes of them being the new progenitors. This Seed Class ship was filled various species hailing from all over the galaxy. Those aboard were placed into an advanced form of cryosleep as they dreamt of their new home. Once the Rendezvous landed, the ship was meant to be a central hub for those aboard, rooms were placed on it to hold those who were aboard.
Of course, things are never that simple. What the Coalition failed to mention is that there would be a routine maintenance that would be required about halfway through the journey. Having automated drones working to keep the ship intact is fine, but sometimes a more personal touch is required. This is why you were awakened. The ships Artificial Intelligence choose at random a handful of passengers to work on the ship’s functions until the ok was given and they could return to sleep. Of course, the Coalition doesn't want its workers to be grumpy about this, and made sure that they are given the royal treatment, private rooms, a gym and pool, various forms of entertainment (that was unfortunately out of date at this point, seeing as most of the actors were dead), and a 3D printer programmed to make most foods.
So, as you thaw yourself from centuries of sleep, the Coalition has a simple request: put on a smile, and get to work. Literally everyone is counting on you.
