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. Some pods feature [[slow-impulse thruster]]s for limited maneuvering in the event of ejection.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''' (2010), ''Adjunct''</ref> 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. | The cryo-chambers are usually stored in their own areas of the ship.

Cryo-chambers are monitored by the Ship's [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], and the AI can awaken crew members at a moment's notice. Cryo-computer is designed to change the pharmaceuticals dosage if a individual appears as though they might wake from cryogenic sleep.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 60'' (''"The cryo-computer observed a surge of activity in Avery’s brain-an effort to yank himself out of REM-and upped his dosage."'')</ref> 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. People are almost always stored in cryo-pods naked, as covered skin generally reacts badly to the cryo process, leaving skin raw and blistered.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 20''</ref> However [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] often go into their cryo-chambers fully armored, using their conditioning and training to ignore the pain.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 21''</ref> | Cryo-chambers are monitored by the Ship's [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], and the AI can awaken crew members at a moment's notice.

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 may need to travel. Even though Covenant ships are much faster than UNSC ships, [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] travel is still not instantaneous. | 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 may need to travel.
