A tribute to Harry Harrison and his Stainless Steel Rat.

"When Kerk climbed over the next ice obstacle, he realized that something was wrong. His whole body suddenly trembled and a cold sweat broke out. His breathing was heavy and his legs refused to carry him. Everything around him disappeared in a haze of mist. His brain refused to function and his legs felt like jelly. He sank down on the ice.
The ice.
The damn ice."

"Now, Pyrrus staggered in the icy wind. The storm seemed to get stronger. Kerk also felt the increasing strength in the wind. They now both walked on the hidden and unknown power reserves that a dead tired person is able to muster in extreme danger to life. But the reserves were not unlimited and their shaky steps showed that these reserves were also getting thin. And when they were finished, they would just fall into the shelter of some ice crater and wait for the deep, eternal sleep."
