Space A.D.
There was a slight chill as the vents rattled to life, pushing fresh air into the stuffy auction room. The crowd inside diverse with representatives from so many planets, all looking for an exotic pet to bring home.
The speakers sputtered to life as the auctioneer adjusted the translator collar around his neck, clearing his throat as he tested his mic. The soft drawl of introductions and the rules before his apprentice slowly carted out a tall glass and metal tube.
" Our first item of interest is a Cryo tube pulled from an ancient wreck in sector 5. Our analyst was able to confirm that the human inside went under approximately 500 years ago." his words trailed off, the mutters of the crowd growing in volume as many prepared to bid. " Our doctors have confirmed that the contents are a human female, vitals appear to be stable."
The mutters grew into a roar of bids before the auctioneer could say another word. Humans had become so terribly rare after the death of their planet. To see an individual who had human blood was a rare delight, but to find one of pure blood. That had value that collectors could only dream of.
