"Assuming they get eaten quickly, and not by their minds getting chewed up a bit at a time so that there consciousness turns into a small painful simple thing by the time it ends.  There's a disease like that in dath ilan, that slowly degrades your consciousness if you let it run until it kills you, taking away your memories year by year.  People usually go into cryonic suspension immediately if they find out they have it.  I also need to know more about Abaddon, besides solving metaphysics, before I start treating it as an exit route."

"Seems worth noting though that if the gods also think that's how Abaddon works, that the people there just wake up someplace else the same as I did, it could explain why the gods aren't treating it as more of an emergency."
