Shimmering blue blanketed the underground city as the light reflected off the sapphires in the ceiling. It cast its eerie glow, almost mimicking the effect of light on water without the sort of freeing peace one might feel with the soft ocean waves. Figuring out how deep down the city was located was near impossible when the air was obviously heated to something approaching comfortable, and nothing seemed to echo too far past the quiet hum of the city.

Workers made their way down the street, every one with a Sleeper in tow. Something that would have been unheard of only a few days ago, now more likely than one would think. They intended to start slow, but considering how many others were still in cryo, this was a laidback pace.

"What?" For a moment, Thomas's brows furrowed as it looked like the change in topic was more abrupt than he was expecting and now had some trouble finding the original thread. "Oh," he managed eventually. "Right, right. That issue. It's more about keeping a stable environment."

"Keep everyone on the same level of information; keep them from knowing too much too quickly. Keep things calm. I see." He might, later, see if he can sneak about Thomas' desk and what he can get his hands on. "One more question, and then we can get on to business proper. Does anyone actually know or remember what happened to drive us to this cave?"

Thomas shook his head almost regretfully. "Not yet. Probably because it's highly traumatic; a lot of people think it'll be the last thing any of us remember."

No, no, the planet was still standing, still habitable, and had, apparently, only taken 150 years to heal enough to let people out of their stasis. He'd seen highly traumatic when it came to planetary devastation. Someone, somewhere, would have to know the answer, eventually. Perhaps this caretaker...

The momentarily hard and haggard look on his face passed smoothly. "Thank you." It was, of course, very possible that Thomas was just as much a victim as the rest of them. But he couldn't decide on that yet. "I suppose I'm ready to get to work, then."

Thomas tilted his head back, thoughtful, then gave an easy smile as he let the moment pass. "Yeah, sure, why don't we do that? Basically, what you'll be doing here is the stuff we don't have time to. You'll be put on guard for house arrestees and might get sent to investigate smaller disturbances. Easy stuff to start you off."

"Quite." He'd never been a police officer. And while he'd be blind if he couldn't see the similarities, it wasn't a bloody tactical officer on a starship. But he might, then, be able to get in touch with others more easily. "Baby steps, as it were."

"Baby steps," Thomas agreed. "You can go get your uniform from Smith. He should be around here somewhere."
