The module hummed, then projected a timeline. To wake them safely would require a synchronized pulse: the recovery key, a long-range gate ping to confirm atmospheric conditions, active environmental control on Somnara, and a hardware cascade to thaw cryo properly. The coordinates were precise, but the ship was old and fragile. Without the Evensong's salvageable docking clamps and the right power, waking them would be risky — potentially fatal.
Always find the actual chipset ID before searching for a driver.

Her laugh snapped like a key turning; it filled the hold with a sound that was raw and immediate and utterly human. Lian knelt, thumb on the child's pulse. "Stable," she breathed.
