It begins with Mei explaining in a video log that she and her friends are still stuck in an ice storm. Their resupply delivery window was missed because of it, are running low on rations and so [[Opara]] decided they're going to "hibernate" in the hope of rescue coming. She is also going to leave the sensors online so she has a new dataset to work with when she wakes up.
It is only when [[Ecopoint: Antarctica]] receives a message coming through on a weak signal that Mei is woken up by her cryopod to deal with it. She wakes up [[Snowball]] from the room's charging port and says to her friends "Rise and shine, sleepyheads.". After brushing her teeth (
