When awakening, sleepers are required to sit erect in the chamber, take one breath, and cough.

If time is not of the essence, personnel may utilize the showers located adjacent to the cryo-bay deck. On military vessels, barracks and weapon lockers are often located near the cryo-deck so waking troops can be rapidly dressed and equipped for combat.{{Ref/Reuse|encyc2}} | If time is not of the essence, personnel may utilize the showers located adjacent to the cryo-bay deck.

Accelerated waking, known as "flash thawing" is dangerous and has a high mortality rate, and is therefore only invoked in the most dire of emergencies. Emergency heating coils—coupled with a rapid infusion of stimulants, notably adrenaline—can bring a subject out of cryo-sleep in less than five minutes. In such cases, the subject's effectiveness is reduced for several hours and he or she is often disoriented.{{Ref/Reuse|encyc2}} | Accelerated waking, known as "flash thawing" is dangerous and has a high mortality rate, and is therefore only invoked in the most dire of emergencies.

Aside from being used to preserve humans in long-term voyages, cryonic technology can also be used as a weapon. The UNSC Spirit of Fire's AI Serina created prototype designs for cryo weapons over the ship's 28-year voyage, such as the [[ZAV-48 Frostraven]] and a modified [[M400 Kodiak]]. The [[GBU-1105 bomb]], colloquially referred to as the "Cryo Bomb", is a weapon developed with the intention of freezing an area. Specialised detachments of [[Hellbringers]] known as [[Hellbringers#Cryo Troopers|Cryo Troopers]] utilise cryogenic weapons. A list of weapons and vehicles utilising Cryonic technology can be found [[:Category:Cryogenic weapons|here]]. | Aside from being used to preserve humans in long-term voyages, cryonic technology can also be used as a weapon.
