Cryo Lab

The  is a location on the ship involving the mission Among The Stars and its purpose is mainly is to house frozen Humans, Super mutants, Feral Ghouls and Raiders. The player's objective is to destroy one of the generators located deep within the lab itself. Discretion and caution is necessary as all the frozen creatures are leveled.

Cryo Lab
On the lower level by the entrance there is a small room containing a Healing Archway, 3 containers and various loot. The teleporter to the far right is used as an exit after the destruction of the generator.

In the middle of the map is a large room full of cryo-pods, Aliens and a Turret. The player can defrost all of these at once by pushing the button on the console below the window facing the area. This results in an AI battle between Ghouls, Raiders and Aliens. Generally the turret is the only one left alive after the skirmish. On the bottom level is a cornucopia of Capital Wasteland items.

In the following area aliens can be viewed in a sealed room examining the bodies of three humans who Elliot Tercorien, if he is with you, will recognize as his squadmates. An enraged Elliot will activate a nearby switch freezing all those in the examination chamber, killing the aliens and opening the chamber doors. Within this room Elliot will gather some cryogenic material with which he later creates Cryo Grenades and Cryo Mines for the player. In the adjoining room Elliot contemplates what to do when he discovers two more squad mates still held in cryogenic suspension. With the player's input the squad mates can either be temporarily revived, euthanized or, on passing a speech check, merely left where they are. The squad mates will be hostile (to each other as well) if the player attempts to revive them before Elliot has restored their memories. Properly revived they will fight alongside the player and Elliot during the first few minutes of the Cryo-Storage zone before expiring.

If the player did not opt to bring Elliot along then the examination chamber can by opened by activating the same freezing control switch, however the dead humans will appear as Wastelanders instead of Elliot's squad-mates. Furthermore, there will be no opportunity to gather cryogenic material and the two cryogenic suspension containers in the adjoining room will be empty.

Cryo Storage
This area is primarily a large 2-level chamber with a generator situated in a passageway at the northern end. Upon entering there will be passageways to your left and right, each with a Healing Archway. The player can take either route as they both lead to the upper level of the same large chamber containing a number of hostile Aliens.

The chamber's upper level has stations with blue tubes containing cryogenic pods. Pushing one of the nearby switches sends a pod upwards and raises another from below while releasing a cloud of vapor that momentarily freezes anything nearby. Other switches mounted along the nearby railings deactivate large cryogenic suspension pods on the lower level, each reviving some form of Super mutant (dependent on player's current level).

In the room to the north, past twisting hallways, will be the generator and a teleportation matrix to get out of the room once you've destroyed the generators. The teleporter will take you back to the very first room before actually entering the main part of the Cryo Lab containing the Generator.

Notable loot

 * A number of rarely-encountered items, including Gum Drops and a Red Racer Jumpsuit.
 * 2 suits of Winterized Medic Armor and 2 Winterized Medic Helmets, worn by Daniels and Beckett.
 * A Chinese Commando Hat. Look for a room with the option to 'rig the controller to explode' on the panel outside. It's on a stack of boxes beside a Motorcycle Helmet and an Intact Garden Gnome.

Alien Captive Recordings
There are a total of 6 Alien Captive Recorded Logs to be collected in these zones; 4 in the Cryo Lab and 2 in Cryo Storage. See Alien Captive Recorded Log for details.

Bugs

 * Looting a frozen corpse such as Elliot Tercorien after being momentarily frozen, may result in a game freeze if this is done standing upright. The game does not freeze when crouched.
 * Eliot Tercorien, upon meeting his squadmates in cryo-stasis, does not initiate any action at all. This can sometimes be resolved by talking to him - he will start the scripted sequence but may keep stopping until you talk to him again.
 * Don't enter the cryo labs without Elliot, or he will refuse to join you. If you don't take Elliot with you to the cryo labs, the two squadmates at the end are not there, with no chance of looting their gear.
 * In the lower level of the room full of stasis pods (Raiders, etc.) in the SouthEast corner is a set of clothing (type unknown) which can't be picked up, despite using camera (L2, 3rd person) tricks. Same goes for another set of clothing on the North wall.
