Story prompt: Science fiction sleeper ships

So... Science fiction has that idea of sleeper ships, like in Wrath of Khan...
Sublight speed is too slow to travel between stars, stars are too distant, so you place everyone in deep sleep hibernation, and wake them up in a few hundred years.

Some possibilities occurred to me...
