A cryogenic detonator deployed on the surface of Installation 00.
The cryogenic detonator, also known as cryo mine,[1] is a cryonic proximity-detected mine developed by Serina and employed by the United Nations Space Command forces onboard the UNSC Spirit of Fire.[2] Once deployed, the mine detonates when enemies are detected nearby and freezes anything caught in its blast.[3] Given it shares the same casing, it is likely derived from the Lotus anti-tank mine.
