The average person is a battlefield … a dark cellar in which a well-bred spinster and a sex-crazed monkey are engaged in mortal combat, refereed by a nervous banker.

I was not planning for Exit to be a character with a lot of dialogue, but he’s grown on me.  He’s probably closer to Caera than anyone else at the project, and he just does not take crap from anyone.  Why would he?  There are no Genocide agents who can fly a copter, so they need him.

↓ Transcript
Caera: Excellent. Call in an attack. Strip the outer defenses; I'll handle the rest.
Exit: Begging pardon, ma'am...but you don't have authority to do that. I like you, Shou. It takes a lot of guts to threaten a pilot when you're flying at ten thousand feet. Not a lot of brains, but a lot of guts.
Caera: Grr...

    Yeah, go Exit! You just earned some sympathy points.

    Who wants to bet she jumps out of the ‘copter in a one-woman assault?

    Considering the kind of punishment I’ve seen Genocide men take since i’ve been reading this comic,somehow i think a fall from 10,000 feet up wouldn’t really stop her
    Slow her down maybe, for about three seconds, but stop her, nah

    Super copter! Makes it from London to (somewhere in India) in just a few strips!

    Seriously, they must have been flying for a while and changed planes somewhere along the way.

    You go Exit, make sure the Genocide (Wo)Men understand practical realities.

  5. A human can survive a fall at terminal velocity if they have a few moderately soft things to hit on the way down (trees, snow) so I would expect Caera could manage it without that. Well, at least her body wouldn’t break. I don’t know if she could keep from getting a concussion.

    Damn Exit, you’ve got balls.

    Though working with the Genocide Men on a daily basis might make them a little less scary (even if they do kill assistants from time to time)

  7. DanielLC says:

    She’s at ten thousand feet. She has plenty of time to take over as pilot.

    @DanielLC
    Not as much as you’d think. And even less so if he decides to turn it upside down.
