On occasion the laboratory will take work outside of what we usually do. It's not uncommon for companies to approach us looking for solutions to various problems. One of these contracts involved a company that made fighter jets. They wanted a safer, better way to ensure a pilots survival if a plane was damaged or destroyed. The issue with parachutes is that they're bulky, take up extra space, and if they get caught or damaged during the ejection, it can be catastrophic. We got to work looking into other solutions and other possibilities, ways we could ensure a pilot could survive and safely return to the ground. Ultimately a few solutions were put forth, including a pill that could be used to incur a temporary treatment granting a pilot wings or some such (however it proved challenging as the pilot would need to adapt to that in the middle of a high stress situation). We eventually started work on what we called an 'internal parachute', a contraption fitted inside a pilots suit that would cause a rapid inflation of helium, coupled with a steady deflation to bring a pilot back down to Earth. Ultimately though the project was scrapped and never really completed. We're sure we'll return to it one day, with a more refined system. Who knows, perhaps this will become a reality at some point?
Surina was a skilled pilot, but in this scenario, she was just outnumbered. Separated from her squadron, all she could do was try to lead the remaining fighters away from her allies. She knew it wouldn't belong before the shields on her Hunter gave out. Preparing for the worst, she began frantically looking for the ejection controls. Who knew, maybe she could survive this? Eject her fighter and go undetected until she could be rescued. It seemed like her only option. Noticing the ejection switch, she pauses before flicking it. It seemed altered from what she remembered. Another blast rocks her ship, her cockpit glowing red as a sign her shields were depleted.
Frantically, she flips the ejection switch. The pilot is shot out of the cockpit, just in time to see her ship curve out from under her before exploding into a fiery cloud of debris. The enemy fighters swoop on the debris before retreating, their task done. Surina was left floating in space, her suit insulated to protect her. All she could do was watch as she was left there, helpless. Her attention is drawn to a soft beeping noise, and then all of a sudden, her suit started to feel bloated and swollen. Rapidly her suit fills out, swelling in all directions. The pressure became intense as the shape of her suit swells into a near perfect sphere. Surina groans to herself. At least she'd have plenty of oxygen until her allies arrived.
