BOOK 1 – PAGE 016 – VIOLENCE WARNING
A pilot’s body is typically enhanced; otherwise they would not survive the violent motions and movements usually caused by mechanized combat. Your average pilot is expected to survive impacts with a concrete surface up to and exceeding terminal velocity.
However, when a pilot does experience a mortal injury, this durability backfires; they’ll survive far longer than they probably should, and experience far more pain than they deserve.
It’s a rough profession when losing usually means death.
