???: ah, uh, where am I?

PA: emergency wake-up presager, warning, malfunction in cryogenic stasis, emergency wake-up presager in effect

???: what?

The hatch opens and the man falls out onto the cold hard ground,

???: ow, ah cold burr, what is this place?

Trying to stand up, he finds that his legs are too numb to support his body, he then crawls his way to the wall and grabs onto the railing, and pulls himself up,

???: Hello!? Anybody there!?

No reply, just the echoing of his voice, looking around he sees he's in a medical room, gurneys, and operating tables fill the room, some flipped over, and others contain body bags on them, some with holes in them that look like something small ate into them,

Searching around he finds some old rusty scalpels, along with long empty syringes and IV and blood bags, heading to the pod he woke up in, it reads, lieutenant Arthur Hills, callsign Frost,

Arthur: so that's my name, but who am I still?

Just then a metal beam falls, knocking over a metal locker, spilling out some old gear, investigating, Arthur finds an old tactical vest along with a uniform, both of which are worn and damaged, the tag says the name Hills on it,

Arthur: guess this was mine, was I a soldier?

Donning the uniform but not the vest, he continues to search around and finds an old monitor, the screen is cracked and busted but still works, barely, turning it on, it has a recording on it, the video image is corrupted, but the audio is still working, hitting play,

Recording: they dropped a building on us... can you save him... he's too far... what about Arth... he's barely hanging on... put him in cryo and give him... you're going to put him in... yes, so it can save his fucking life... we've been triaging for five days now...

Then the monitor dies, turning away, Arthur gets a flash of images in his head, images of a battle and tanks advancing, that's all he could make out from the images before they disappeared,

Heading out of the room into a hallway, he finds tons of bodies and damage, looks like there was a last stand made here, looking around for a weapon, he finds one on the ground,

Picking it up he sees that it's an old M4, taking out the mag he finds it still got some ammo left, checking the chamber of the rifle, there's still a bullet in there,

Arthur: probably a good idea not to use any of these guns, might be damaged and could explode if fired

Setting down the gun he walks through the hall, coming to a closed door, opening it he's faced with a gun being pointed at his head, then is pistol wiped and knocked unconscious,

*Time skip*

Waking up in a cell, Arthur looks around and sees a guard looking at him, but there's something odd looking about this guard, then another image flashes through his mind, of a man getting his throat mauled by a wolf, then the image fades, then the screech of a metal door opening is heard, then an odd sight, as an anthropomorphic Fox in an MP's uniform enters the cell and sits down, taking out his pistol he begins his interrogation,
