I turn around. The hydroponics deck is empty. Nobody at any terminal. Whoever voted just did it from somewhere else. I hit the comm. 'Hello? Anyone there?' / Silence. Static. Then a voice answers.

I pull up the motion details. MOTION 4,114: TERMINATE THE SLEEPER IN BAY 9. Created: Unknown. Initiator: SYSTEM PROCESS. Scheduled execution: Upon detection of waking sequence. The whole thing was queued by the ship itself.

I find a reference in the old logs: Bay 9 doesn't exist in the current schematic. It's been deleted. But the motion still references it. Something that doesn't exist needs to be terminated.
