A '''Cryo-chamber''' is a [[plastasteel]]<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 150'' (''"John brushed off the frost buildup that clouded the top half of the cryotube, and revealed the green-armored figure sprawled behind the plastasteel shell."'')</ref> chamber that allows all of a starship's non-essential personnel to be [[Cryonics|cryonically frozen]] for long periods of time. An example of its use would be during prolonged [[Slipspace]] jumps. They are basically large metal pods with form-fitting gel beds where the personnel are frozen until they are needed. An example of this is [[John-117]], who was stored in a cryo-chamber aboard the ship {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and later unhatched from the cryosleep chamber by Tech Chief [[Thom Shephard]] along with Tech Officer [[Sam Marcus]].  


Known models of the cryo-chamber include the [[Mark VII Personal Suspension Unit]], manufactured by [[Jakubaitis Standard Systems]]. It was widely disliked by UNSC personnel because of its inferior moisture balancing; this resulted in dry, itchy skin for a day or more after awakening, known as "cryo-itch". It was later replaced by the [[Mark VIII Cryogenic Suspension Chamber]], although many older craft still use the Mark VII.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 216''</ref>

The cryo-chambers are usually stored in their own areas of the ship. Each cryo-chamber will hold an individual for as long as necessary, provided they use a [[Bronchial Surfactant]], and can be ejected prior to an emergency landing, thus saving some crew from harm to be recovered later.

However, in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], the Master Chief emerges from the cryo-pod completely fitted in his [[armor]], using [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] training to ignore the pain. His enhanced physiology presumably allows for a quick recovery from superficial pain and injury such as this.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 21''</ref>

It is unknown whether the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] has a similar technology, but it is likely considering the vast distances of interstellar space their ships likely need to travel. Even though Covenant ships are much faster than UNSC ships, [[Slipspace]] travel is still not instantaneous.
Extended periods in cryosleep can result in a condition often called [[freezer burn]] which is a pain caused by cryo pharmaceuticals trapped in muscles and joints.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 107''</ref> People are almost always stored in cryotubes naked, as covered skin generally reacts badly to the cryo process, leaving skin raw and blistered.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 20''</ref> However, it is possible for [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] to go into cryo chambers fully armored, using their conditioning and training to ignore the pain.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 21''</ref> Cadets at [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science|Corbulo Academy]] regularly wore carbon-black skintight clothing during cryo training; the use of these "cryo suits" did not lead to the blistering frequently caused by normal clothing.

After the [[Battle of Installation 00]], and after the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] flew the front half of the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' through the [[Portal|Ark Portal]], the back section with the Chief and Cortana remained behind due to portal collapsing. Cortana dropped a beacon, but it would take years for the beacon to reach anyone. To wait until then, the Chief went into cryo sleep until he and Cortana are found.
Entering cryo can also be used as an emergency measure. Often a person may be placed in cryo in order to save them from succumbing to grievous injuries, such as in the case of [[Linda-058]], who was placed in a cryo-chamber after being severely injured during the [[Fall of Reach]], and successfully revived later despite being previously declared clinically dead. Each chamber will hold an individual for as long as necessary, and can be ejected prior to an emergency landing, thus saving some crew from harm to be recovered later.

*The [[slipspace field pod]] is the [[Forerunner]] equivalent to the cryo chamber; these pods use a slipspace stasis field to suspend the occupant in time and to protect them from outside harm.

These were cases of artistic license, however, since showing nudity would force up both the games' and the short film's rating.
*Cryo-chambers are referred to as "the freezer" in slang,<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 102''</ref> named after a term often called [[freezer burn]] which is a pain in joints and muscles caused by the cryo sleep pharmaceuticals trapped in muscles and joints.

*Even though humans must enter a cryo-tube naked or risk being blistered when they emerge, [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] entered her tube with her clothes on.

*In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', it is possible through a [[Headless Master Chief|glitch]] to get back inside, and see the chief, headless.
*In the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' episode ''[[The Package]]'', when [[SPARTAN-117]] locates [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr Catherine Halsey]] in a Cyro chamber, she is fully clothed. Yet when she awakens she appears to have not suffered any effects of "freezer burn" such as any visible rashes or blisters nor does she show any signs of pain or discomfort. This was most likely done for the same reasons in ''Halo Wars'', thus simply ignoring the freezer burn issue entirely.

A cryo-chamber aboard the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn.

A cryo-chamber, often called a cryotube,[1][2][3] is plastasteel pod with a form-fitting gel bed that allows all of a starship's non-essential personnel to be cryonically frozen for long periods of time, most commonly during prolonged slipspace jumps.[2] An example of this is John-117, who was stored in a cryo-chamber aboard the ship UNSC Pillar of Autumn and later unhatched from the cryosleep chamber by Tech Chief Thom Shephard along with Tech Officer Samuel Marcus.

Known models of the cryo-chamber include the Mark VII Personal Suspension Unit, manufactured by Jakubaitis Standard Systems. It was widely disliked by UNSC personnel because of its inferior moisture balancing; this resulted in dry, itchy skin for a day or more after awakening, known as "cryo-itch". It was later replaced by the Mark VIII Cryogenic Suspension Chamber, although many older craft still use the Mark VII.[4]

Cryo chambers are referred to as "the freezer" in slang.[5] Another slang term for the chamber is "the Admiral's wife" because it is a "frosty bed". Being put in cryo is also referred to as being "put on ice."[6]

Technical specifications[edit]

A standard cryo-chamber aboard a Halcyon-class light cruiser.

The cryo-chambers are usually stored in a dedicated area of the ship, commonly referred to as a "cryo bay".[1] Cryo chambers are monitored by the ship's AI, and the AI can awaken crew members at a moment's notice. Cryo-computers are designed to change the pharmaceuticals dosage if an individual appears as though they might wake from cryogenic sleep.[7] Cryo wake-up protocols demand that crew check each other to make sure everyone revives from cryo all right. There is usually a medical pod in cryogenics bays for emergency resuscitation situations.[8]

To prevent ice crystals from forming in one's cells, a person going into cryosleep must be injected with a chemical known as cytoprethaline.[9] A substance known as bronchial surfactant must also be ingested to protect the lungs. Individuals in cryo tubes are given a steady supply of pharmaceuticals that control the frequency and duration of cryosleep cycles along with influencing the content of their dreams.[10] While in cryo, humans do not age; as a result many UNSC military personnel, who routinely undergo long stretches of cryosleep during slipspace travel, effectively age slower than most civilians.[11]

Extended periods in cryosleep can result in a condition often called freezer burn which is a pain caused by cryo pharmaceuticals trapped in muscles and joints.[12] People are almost always stored in cryotubes naked, as covered skin generally reacts badly to the cryo process, leaving skin raw and blistered.[13] However, it is possible for Spartans to go into cryo chambers fully armored, using their conditioning and training to ignore the pain.[14] Cadets at Corbulo Academy regularly wore carbon-black skintight clothing during cryo training; the use of these "cryo suits" did not lead to the blistering frequently caused by normal clothing. As of the year 2557, UNSC personnel on at least some ships are given special white jumpsuits to wear when going into cryo.[9]

Entering cryo can also be used as an emergency measure. Often a person may be placed in cryo in order to save them from succumbing to grievous injuries, such as in the case of Linda-058, who was placed in a cryo-chamber after being severely injured during the Fall of Reach, and successfully revived later despite being previously declared clinically dead. Each chamber will hold an individual for as long as necessary, and can be ejected prior to an emergency landing, thus saving some crew from harm to be recovered later. Some pods feature slow-impulse thrusters for limited maneuvering in the event of ejection.[15] After the aft section of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn was left drifting in space years from rescue, the Master Chief entered cryo sleep in order to survive the wait for rescue. When the UNSC Spirit of Fire was left adrift in space without a slipspace drive, its crew entered cryosleep for 28 years, only to be awakened when the ship unexpectedly arrived at Installation 00.

Trivia[edit]

  • The slipspace field pod is the Forerunner equivalent to the cryo chamber; these pods use a slipspace stasis field to suspend the occupant in time and to protect them from outside harm. It is unknown whether the Covenant possesses an equivalent of the cryo chamber, as such technology is yet to be mentioned or observed.
  • Even though humans must enter a cryo-tube naked or risk being blistered when they emerge, Professor Ellen Anders in Halo Wars and Dr. Catherine Halsey in The Package both entered their tubes fully clothed, while the crew aboard UNSC Spirit of Fire were also fully clothed when emerging from 28 years of cryosleep. These were cases of artistic license, however, since showing nudity would force up both the games' and the short film's rating.
  • In Halo: Combat Evolved, it is possible through a glitch to get back inside the tube, and see the Chief, headless.
