No, I woke up feeling hungover. [Or what she assumes a hangover feels like.] But their strategy isn't sustainable.

Their technology is great in this world, but it can't be that much better than our space program back home, otherwise why keep us in orbit around Earth? This is still a Cold War era universe. They've focused their tech on so many other things. [Like hover technology.]

While porting us up here isn't entirely unreasonable, how are they keeping us? There are at least fifty of us here. Even the little bit they're feeding us, it's still that many people a few times a day. [There's a moment where she idly thinks about the equation necessary to calculate that, numbers jumbling up over the connection before she gets back on track.]

They can't keep us here, even on low rations, for long before having to restock their supplies. Plus, they gave us oxygen tanks, but nothing else. If there's ever a breach we're going to be screwed.

[She wishes she focused more on shuttles back home. She hadn't gotten to advanced mechanic designs like that in class yet.]

Not to mention, the guards are in uniform, with no protective gear. I don't know if they have supplies just around the corner, or what, but I couldn't see anything within easy reach for them from the door.
