[ExI] No one dies re: Clarke, Arthur

[Kevin Freels]

I am sure that in a far distant future, perhaps thousands or even 
hundreds of thousands of years after I am brought back from suspension, 
we will find a way to peer back in time and recapture his information 
state at the time of his death and "resurrect" him. I'll make it a 
personal goal of mine. He can then bring back any of those others he 
mentioned and even his dog. :-)
