The Science of Cryogenics

Travelling over longer distances in Colombia mostly happens at night. There are numerous companies providing this service and they try to make that as comfortable as possible. One way they do that is by using busses with comfortably soft seats that bends way backwards. The driver sits in a seperate compartiment so they can deep-freeze the passengers compartiment to make them enter a cryogenic state. This way the 16-hour trip passes mostly unnoticed for the passengers. At the destination they take all the blue, stiff body's out of the bus and put them on a big pile. In cold places the people in the center of the pile de-hybernate first, but they have to wait till the layers of people above them are defrosted and have awakened first.
Some people that often travel that way are missing a finger, a nose, an ear or any organs that protrude. The've broken off in the piling process (the craftsmen with the heftrucks don't always handle the load with the care prescribed.)
