GR translation: Praying to their Master: sooner or later an abreaction

[Mike Jing]

V49.20-29, P50.15-25   “So, Slothrop. Conceivably. Out in the city,
the ambience alone—suppose we considered the war itself as a
laboratory? when the V-2 hits, you see, first the blast, then the
sound of its falling . . . the normal order of the stimuli reversed
that way . . . so he might turn a particular corner, enter a certain
street, and for no clear reason feel suddenly . . .”
       Silence comes in, sculptured by spoken dreams, by pain-voices
of the rocketbombed next door, Lord of the Night’s children, voices
hung upon the ward’s stagnant medicinal air. Praying to their Master:
sooner or later an abreaction, each one, all over this frost and
harrowed city . . .

Does this mean that each one of them is praying for an abreaction?
