"Freezes?" That surprised him. It didn't sound like the most practical weapon. "Wouldn't that kill everyone, then? I mean, it's a weapon, I guess that's the point, it just seems like if you're going to do that anyway, you might as well just go the old fashioned explosive route, since I imagine having something that instantly freezes everything would involve far more complex technology."

Jay was, of course, picturing normal, literal freezing, which either would involve hypothermia and death, or liquids in the body expanding and...well, death.
