Ah the totally not overused archetype of death giving birth to life
It was good though, thanks for sharing.

well, Ma-Ez. It *is* topical, canSte. Guys like Stephen Hawking are warning us about it this week.
Did I say Call Me Ishmael?
You should call me Luna.

I admit, seeing the two skeleton guys dead in their suits just brought up more questions for me. Mostly, how someone died in those positions with their craft in working order and even the pilot having his hands on the stick.
Well made, yes, but I admit I didn't get into it.

I wondered why they were dead in flight suits too. maybe they were gassed or something?
I think being in a flying coffin that bombed the cities of my old enemies might be pretty cool

The Hawken forum's a forum, but it's like the only one you get yelled at for using.

I was thinking dead-pilot had his hands on the control stick but I might be wrong. Still, must be some potent gas able to kill before one knows it given their positions.

I assume they were hit by enemy fire that punctured the cockpit, but did not damage the rest of the craft enough to destroy it. There is a reason the crews of the B-17 bombers in WWII wore flak jackets. And why WWII fighter planes had armored plates behind the cockpit. Incoming fire from an enemy behind could puncture the cockpit and kill the pilot before causing critical damage to the plane itself without it.
So if something like this had happened, and there was not anyone left anywhere else to remove the body, the corpse of the pilot would probably remain in the cockpit of the plane while the AI continued on its mission.
Though yeah, it could have also been some sort of gas attack, or maybe radiation from nukes, or something. But it was probably more a heavy handed symbol of Humanity being dead than anything else.

Maybe, although the skeletons look fairly intact. I and would assume some random guy getting hit with gunfire from a plane might cause the skeleton to break apart.
