Like Arnold used to say...
"I'll be back."
If they can regenerate Butler, a dead mud-man, it wouldn't take half as much effort for Artemis to 'discover' some long-lost process by which Commander Root can be brought back to life by Holly, Foaly or maybe even using something invented by Opal Koboi and modified by Foaly for the task.
I suspect Root won't be dead forever.
