This was simply awesome. The suspence of going through the pitch dark corridors and then ... ping! :). I like that you gave them a stress roll in the cryo chamber. I have been thinking about adding that mechanism after reading through Call of Cthulhu, but I was thinking of, in those kind of situations, to allow a empathy check - if they succed then the emoitions hit and they realize and then stress roll. Like when you try to make a coupe de grace.

Good idea.
