You’re an alien, more specifically, you’re an alien cargo transporter for your home planet. You’re on a very special mission to bring medical supplies to a fellow planet

Before you can jump into hyperspace however, you came across an occupied cryopod. So being the kind person you are, you drag it into your ship.

It was a severely burned human. He had little nubs for limbs, and he looked like a bandaged sausage. You took him out of the cryopod and put him on the bed in the medical ward.

A few hours passed, then you heard, muffled screaming and sobbing. He woke up.
