Stasis
The fate Florin imagines behind the deal — being locked up rather than allowed to die fighting.
Story so far
Asked whether he intends to take a deal, Florin scoffs. Most crawlers will if they're actually offered, because they're tired, but he and Carl both know everything is broken and it's possible it's all going to come crashing down. If that happens, Florin wants to go down fighting — not locked up in stasis or whatever.
He believes a lot of crawlers feel the same way, and names Jurgen as one who will never accept it while Lucia Mar might refuse. Stasis is thus less a mechanic than a fear: the suspicion that Taking the Deal means being shelved rather than saved.
