Great read!
Uhh sorry about being nitpickey but what was the time frame of the SAR pickup of Captain Rukia Fujita. The brain can only go 4-6 minutes with no oxygen before permanent brain damage occurs. Of course the tech must be better but if no synth brains...
I am assuming of course that she would go into full arrest with both lungs essentially destroyed, her heart nicked, and her stomache ruptured. Oh and those persnickety limbs that were removed. Not too mention all the nasty things a vacuum would do to open wounds like that. But I suppose you could have a good "techy" work around.
Also just to chime in on the agony thing. Pain is relative. I've seen people with one or more limbs ripped off that could still talk and walk(assuming the the aformentioned limbs were not the legs but I digress)and I've seen people faint due to a minor almost paper cut.
Please keep up the good work on the story.

This has everything to do with nerve depth - in the case of s aimple paper cut, a splinter, a pin or whatever, you get pricked/cut/whatever in your
finger where the nerves lie close to the surface and are generally more sensitive regardless. This way, if you harm yourself there, the pain signals to the brain will be more powerful then if your arm is cut off at the shoulder where there are less pain nerves and they run deeper.
I know people can experience "pain" in limbs they have lost, "phantom pain" or however it is called in English, but I believe that is just a dull sort of pain, not a sharp pang or a sense of something slicing through your finger.
And NO I have NOT lost ANY BODY PARTS of mine as of yet save for two pieces of toenail, and that was after a localized sedative had been administered.
