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.

Cool someone wants to know about background Icaran tech instead of just weapons!!!
(big smiles)
1. Yeah they are about 1,000 years more medically advanced then us (remember they never went through the dark ages)
2. Vac suits have medical systems built in, basically the second her arm and leg were severed they were "sealed" vac suits and marine combat suits also have life support equipment (I think I did state that somewhere far back there).
3. Her one lung was out of action the other was just acid scorched, not to sound blaze but people can live for a while with a burned lung, as far as I know because I've heard tragic stories of people dying after they've been rescued from a fire, hours later because their lungs were burned to badly for our science to save them.
4. Well your heart being nicked is serious depending upon how badly it was damaged, I.E if the wound only destroys a small part of your heart you can live for quite a long while, people have been stabbed through the heart by knives and lived to tell the tale (though at reduced functionality).
5. Yes she probobly would go into full arrest with the damage done to her body, but that's the beauty of cryo freeze surgery, basically they recover your bashed and broken body "freeze" it and do the surgery while your still cryo. It's not as fancy as Star Trek surgery where there's not even any blood, and Rukai basically needed a full overhaul on her internals so it was a messy and long procedure. And as long as there was still brain activity "I've heard theories that your brain activity can be "suspended" so assuming the Icarans have drugs that can save the brain for a few hours then they can "reboot" her body and brain at the same time after the surgery is completed.
Unfortunately SAR recoveries of seriously injured crew persons are rare on the whole because of the fact that most people would go into full arrest and die rather quickly, but because of her "sequencial" wounds her life support and suspension systems were able to keep her alive. That's why the doctor pointed out what a miracle it is that she lived at all.
If you guys would like me to explain a lot more into the "background tech" of Icara I'd be more then happy to do so I just thought you guys would be bored by medical science of the future.
Yeah pain is relative, and as said also depends on just how the injury occurs and whether you go into shock right away or not.
Oh Kerensky was referring to me he knows me lol, I just think he misread that post.
