[ExI] Cryosecurity -- considering all post-preservation scenarios

[Adrian Tymes]

I've recently been reading a story, Agent of the Imperium, along
similar lines.  (An agent of an interstellar empire gets uploaded onto
a series of wafers, which get activated into bodies for various
emergencies - only for a month at a time, and not always a single
chain of memories between them.)

Maybe one copy of you wakes up in a pleasant environment owned and operated by family, friends, or benign strangers, but in the worst case scenarii, thousands (millions, billions?) of uploads based, with varying degrees of modifications, on you, wake up in environments of every possible description, after time frames ranging from decades to geological epochs.
