Naomi gets her mobility back inside the chamber and steps out of pod 1001. She thinks back to her mother's parting words about never allowing anyone else to control her life. Out in the hallway, Naomi checks Captain Drake Coulter's capsule and discovers it recorded only ten years. She figures someone manipulated the timer. Keeping her thoughts to herself, she heads to the bridge, where Drake and Elena Voss greet her without any physical exhaustion.
Naomi can move her body again after waking up. She reflects on her mother's last piece of guidance, which was never to let other people choose her path. With those words in mind, she climbs out of her sleep chamber.

Key Lines from Episode 2
“Welcome back, Naomi. We roused you early because the research lab equipment needs your personal calibration. Elena will show you the way.”
“You two look perfectly fine. No side effects from hibernation?”
How Episode 2 Ends
Standing on the bridge, Naomi directly challenges Captain Drake and Elena about why neither of them exhibits any effects from cryosleep. She waits for an explanation while keeping her own knowledge about the tampered pod timers secret. Will the captain provide a believable excuse, or will Naomi realize just how dangerous her situation aboard the starship really is?
