In the story, ships travel through a medium that inflicts horrible, almost
universally fatal pain that requires frozen passengers to travel under the
care of crewmen with nigh-perpetual nerve blocks until it is discovered

the bunnies or oysters or whatever die instead; wood/trees perhaps in
Tzadkiel's case.
