Questions/Question 252

The general FAQ section on death/revival indicates that Patho-Gen scientists need an Augmented One's body in order to revive them. What would happen if someone did die down in the plant caverns in a way that made their body difficult or impossible to retrieve? Are they turbofucked?

Corollary to the above: what would happen if someone did get partway eaten due to the hunger-for-flesh effect of the flowers? Would the Natural Soul still take over in the event of death involving partial dismemberment? Sorry to be nasty 🙏

A very good question here. If someone dies in the Hell Pit, they'll be in great peril. It is recommended that a fellow Augmented One fetch their corpse. Failing this, however... Patho-Gen does have a failsafe: that handy Augmenter will tell them where the body is, and... they have a Secret Third Way of retrieving a body that is of ethical dubiousness. Who's counting, though.

Loathe as they are to admit it, they might need to use a ServiTon. This is unheard of; ServiTons beyond the barrier are a huge no-go for some reason, but they might have to do it. One way or another, the corpse absolutely needs to be retrieved.

This nasty question is a fav... Part-way eaten Augmented Ones will absolutely become consumed by their Natural Soul, even without all of their limbs present. This just means that they might be in severe agony, and that animal soul may do whatever it takes to protect themselves. Though the remotes to shut characters off require being within range of them, Patho-Gen does have another method to "shut down" characters in the event of needing to turn that soul off so they can collect the character's body safely, but the entire thing will be difficult to do. They'll prefer sending another Augmented to the scene, and whether or not that Augmented One encounters the dead character being puppeted by their NatSoul or not is up to players. Mid-combat, the character could also be 'shut off' by Patho-Gen if need be! All in the name of great fun.
