No Dachi is infamous around these parts
Re: Trapped - Shadows of Brightness

No Dachi woke up and gave a weary grown, trying to blink his eyes clear. He was lying flat on his chest, which wasn't particularly comfortable, so he picked himself up and rose painfully to his feet, leaning against the cryo chamber for support. He had a blinding headache. He couldn't quite remember what had happened, but from his position relative to the cryo pod, he had probably fallen out of it and cracked his head on the steel deckplates, rendering himself unconscious for a while longer. He massaged the point on his skull nearest to the source of the pain and uttered a string of curses, before straightening up and looking round the chamber.
