[ WP ] Something about cryogenic freezing and a person waking up to ask a computer , `` How Long ? `` .

`` Ugh, I was never good at mornings.'' 
 
 Good afternoon, Captain. Would you like a report? 
 
 `` Afternoon? Shit. Uh, yeah, sure. Report.'' 
 
 Distance travelled: 2.354 lightyears. 
 Time to arrival: 7 days. 
 Incidents to report: None. 
 
 `` Well that's nice.'' 
 
 The Captain, and make sure you read that with quotation marks placed either side of it, slid off the bed and lazily thumped to the kitchen area, stomach rumbling. 
 
 `` What's on the menu?'' 
 
 Due to a scheduling conflict, I am unable to respond. 
 Would the Captain like his breakfast, lunch or dinner served? 
 
 `` What? What time is it?'' 
 
 It is currently 1654 Earth Time, Captain. 
 
 `` Shit. Pah, give me dinner. What's it gon na be, chef?'' 
 
 You have nutrient bars, or one steak in cold storage. 
 
 `` Huh... How long?''

 `` How long have I had that steak?'' 
 
 The steak has been in cold storage for two years, seven months, twelve days, six ho- 
 
 `` All right, all right, is it still edible?'' 
 
 The steak has been in cold storage and has not degraded in quality. 
 
 `` Fuck, even after two and a half years, eh?'' 
 
 Yes. Food in cold storage is cryogenically frozen and able to be sto- 
 
 `` Rhetorical question, just cook the damn steak.'' 
 
 The Captain went for a piss. By the time he came back, his last steak was steaming on the counter, ready to be eaten. 
 
 `` No carrots? Fuck sake...'' 
 
 The Captain ate his last steak.
