Cytoprethaline is a drug designed for humans in cryo-sleep. Cytoprethaline prevents damage to cell membranes from ice crystal formation. It is usually injected, recommended by a doctor, but usually by a medic or a premeasured self-injector. Cryo-sleep is almost always fatal without the use of cytoprethaline. However, 1 in 5000 people exhibit an allergic reaction to this drug; those that do are disqualified from UNSC service, but can still serve in civilian roles attached to the UNSC.[1] Thomas Lasky is one of the few people to be diagnosed with this allergy, which was to be grounds for his discharge from Corbulo Academy of Military Science; however, the school was attacked by the Covenant before Lasky was shipped out.[2]
