Jean opened his eyes in his cryogenic bed, he could feel them comming, a group, no, two big groups were approaching the first one wanted to free him from his perpetual sleep in the cryogenic lab, the other group was led by his religious opponent Livius Domitius, this second group wanted Jean aka The Lazarus to stay in his cryogenic tomb forever.
The need of getting out was bigger than ever, even when heavily doped he started pushing the cryogenic's lid, trying to brake the crystal that held him inside, the two remaining nurses went on panic, the third nurse had commited suicide a couple days before as the food suplies where running out and the Corporation's rescue teams that saved the wardens of the prision left them behind with the orders of keeping eye on The Lazarus, and to keep him asleep, the body of the suicidal nurse had being placed in the corridor between the first and the second bomb-proof doors, cause they wouldn't venture to go outside the highest security ward with some inmates still in the loose within the prision.
One nurse went to the radio room and started her dialy frantic claim for helpusually these days only static would answer her but today she got a signial, some gunfire was heard and incoherent babbling about nomads and being under fire, she had spent so much time that she didn't know about the mines and the nomads in the walls of the pit.
The other nurse followed the procedure as The Lazarus managed to punch his fist out of the thick cryogenic glass, she took a lethal dose of drug in a syringe and walked to the patient whos bloody arm was already out and trying to unlock the bolts of his cryogenic prision, the nurse directed the syringe to the serum deposit that fed The Lazarus systems keeping him alive, but Jean gave her a shake of head trying to persuade her from doing so, so when it wasn't enough he pressed his temple and the hand of the nurse started shaking, the other nurse was watching from the communications room and saw her fellow nurse pricking her own leg with the syringe and getting the lethal dose of drug herself "aaaghhhh" the nurse yelled as if just realizing what she had done "I missed the vein" then she fell and convulsed till foam came out from her mouth and she stopped moving forever.
The Lazarus pointed to the other nurse and then he pointed the bolts, she was too affraid to disobey or maybe just too afraid to be alone after so much time, so many rescue teams that would just leave food and would check that The Lazarus were still alive, but wont take them out of there.
When Jean came out of the cry-bed he puked cryogenic fluids and realize that he was momentarily unable to walk, he drag himself to the showers "You will be rewarded beyond your highest dreams" he managed to say before he disappeared into the showers.
In that moment she somehow knew that all her pains will soon be over, this guy was just too important to be left behind.
