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 a ship landing, thus saving some crew from harm to be recovered later. [[Spartan-058]], after being severely injured during the [[First Battle of Reach|fall of Reach]], was placed in a cryo-chamber in the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]. Prior to the ship's landing on [[Installation 04]], her cryo-chamber was ejected, and she was picked up by the Master Chief at a later date. | 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 wake-up protocols demand that crew check each other to make sure everyone revives from cryo alright. There is usually a medical pod in cryogenics bays for emergency resuscitations. Many times people are 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> | 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]] 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. | It is unknown whether the [[Covenant]] has a similar technology, but it is likely considering the vast distances of interstellar space their ships likely need to travel.

After the [[Battle of Installation 00]], after the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] flies the front half of the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' through the [[Ark Portal]], the back section with the Chief and Cortana remain behind. Cortana sends out a signal, but it will take years for it to reach somewhere. To wait until then, the Chief goes into cryo sleep until someone finds him. | After the [[Battle of Installation 00|battle of Installation 00]], after the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] flies the front half of the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' through the [[Ark Portal]], the back section with the Chief and Cortana remain behind.
