The subject's blood is replaced with fluids that contain [[cryoprotectants]]. These cryoprotectants prevent ice crystals from forming and destroying the subject's cellular walls. When a hibernating subject is awoken, their temperature is raised rapidly. When the cryoprotectants become sufficiently fluid, they are pumped out, and warm blood pumped in. Once vitae replacement is complete cardiovascular restart begins. Jolts of power are sent through the subject until heartbeat, breathing, and lastly, brain activity returns.{{Fn|1c}}
