Cryostasis

#REDIRECT StasisCryostasis, or stasis is the act of placing the patient in a state where his molecules are stabilized to the point of immobility. The subject is unconscious during stasis, and does not undergo any changes linked to the passage of time. The act freezes a target to absolute zero, but negates the cold effects, effectively stopping the target molecules from being able to move, petrifying the target in the stasis field. Stasis works via a solution akin to antifreeze that slows down the metabolism to an extreme rate, the antigel solution avoids freezeburn in the being in stasis.
== Medical Stasis ==
Cryostasis became a necessity when too many dalmer used medbays to save them, so cryostasis was developed to placate the need for Fountainwater. The problem with cryostasis was that reanimation often didn’t work, so naturally people were skeptical, and some even refused to be treated at medbays. When a solution was found to reanimate patients with an 85% success rate, stasis became the norm of medbay policy in case of patient overflow.
The Dalmer created massive freezers to compensate for the massive number of patients who could not have immediate medical attention. Cryostasis patient's experience existential dread upon awakening, this can be resolved with a comforting pommade.
Rather than being on a first come, first served basis or by severity of the patient's condition, the AI that manages has complete discretion on which Dalmer is treated when it enters stasis. This arbitrary selection has been widely contested, until reports revealed that if first come first served was applied, the average wait time could potentially be in the decades.
The problems with stasis were extrapolated even further when police forces started using stasis as a carceral threat for perpetrators. Indeed, Imperial justice is harsh, if police forces are sent, their mission is to send the suspects to stasis containment via HP depletion, or to incapacitate them and warp them to the nearest suspect repository. Warper class robots are known to use spirits to hijack UC criminals during operations before they are warped to the repository. Dalmer in stasis can neural interface with machines so that they can work in exchange for reduced wait time.
== Stasis Technologies ==
Several technologies were derived from stasis technology.
===Fountainwater Cryonis===
Keeping people cryogenically frozen in Fountainwater heals them even of long lasting maladies.
===Random Stasis Immaterialism===
Due to an unforeseen and unrepeatable glitch, using combat stasis can sometimes cause downwards immaterialism, causing the target to be lost, buried under meters of rock when the stasis ends.
===Truefreeze===
The Dalmer studied their cryotech extensively and discovered that specific freeze flash properties tripled damage to the target without the ice breaking. Making Truefreeze a deadly technology.
