  Sallor said, “This was not operating Freeze. These were combat freeze. They are not meant for the cold of space, so when you combine the two, it is not just a frozen brain and spinal lock. It turns into an entire frozen body lock that cannot be defrosted with Callopa drugs and heat lamps. The entire body has to defrost on its own, and I am not even sure it will work.”

  Quillisar Farra asked, “What do you mean you do not know if it will work?”

  Sallor simply answered, “I have only read about it. I have never seen it done. I am not a surgeon, my Quillisar. My education translates to a Doctor Assistant, a practitioner, a combat nurse essentially.”

  Sallor answered, “Because he has the least body mass, he will defreeze faster.”

  Sallor did a few more things until he then saw a finger move. His head snapped back, and he said, “Hold on, we may have something.”

  The three of them hovered over the toddler, waiting with anticipation. About ten seconds went by before Sallor whispered under his breath, “Come on…..”

  Sallor grabbed the toddler’s hand. A few seconds later, two fingers moved. Sallor whispered, “Yes,.... you can do it….”

  A few more seconds went by. All three were looking at the toddler’s face now. After another ten seconds, the face began moving, and suddenly, as if waking from a deep sleep, the toddler’s eyes opened.

  He kept reading, and after another few seconds, he said, “Fuck yeah!!”

  He stood up and yelled out, “Ladies, pack up your shit, bring the wine! We are going to Vandabri!!!
