Once obtained, the Stasis Module becomes a permanent part of Isaac's equipment. The Stasis Module is found in the first chapter of Dead Space. In Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3, Stasis slowly recharges by itself over time.Ġ5 February 2013 Appearances Dead Space To recharge Stasis, Isaac Clarke must either use Recharge Stations scattered about the environment or use Stasis Packs picked up and stored in the inventory. Its energy efficiency and duration can be upgraded with Power Nodes via workbenches, just like all other equipment. It appears as a bluish half-circle to the right of the health indicator, which drains as Stasis Energy is fired. Stasis Energy can be monitored via an all-purpose indicator embedded in the RIG suit's armor, covering the user's right shoulder blade. Judging from its use in the P-Sec and Soldier RIGs, it is also apparent that the Stasis Module is used as a non-lethal weapon when apprehending dangerous criminals, presumably freezing them temporarily so that they can be handcuffed. Ĭommercially, it is used to slow down dangerous malfunctioning equipment until it can be repaired or replaced. That said, stasis has found wide applications in the surgical field, where patients who are suffering from otherwise terminal conditions or incredible trauma (such as the loss of whole limbs) can be put into stasis while suitable equipment and staff are assembled and organized to render treatment. However, stasis merely shifts the afflicted into a slower "state" of time bodily functions relative to the afflicted individual(s) still work (relative to their temporal state), and hence, they do not come to harm. It was initially suspected that living organisms subject to such a temporal slow down would die, as aerobic and anaerobic activities, vital to life, would be affected. All motion and physical activity "slows" relative to normal time. In layman's terms, "stasis" modules allow the suspension of a field of "slowed" time in a designated volume.

Stasis is a field of science and technology based on advanced quantum physics. The Stasis Module attached to Isaac Clarke's left forearm and hand.
