Cryonics in popular culture: различия между версиями

The original ''[[Deus Ex]]'' has a secret area that the player can access, where former Illuminati (lol) leader [http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Lucius_DeBeers Lucius DeBeers] (Like the diamond company, get it? Nevermind...) was stored in a 'cryo pod' by his protegé, co-conspirator Morgan Everett, until the technology to revive him can be invented. Unknown to him, the technology has been available for some time, but Everett refuses to revive him to maintain power. Somehow DeBeers can continue to talk and think in the pod, and can talk to the player, who can tell him the truth; in which case DeBeers asks the player to kill him.
