send rescue squads... usually something between a scouting squad and a commando platoon... but remember, in an MDC world, flyboys have less oportunity to use the ol'chute... and if it's a war zone, sending a squad to retrieve a lone soldier is not exactly it... unless said individual is of exceptional importance for some reason... the reason survival skills are available is so an isolated soldier can survive while trying to rejoin his lines.

Personally, I think that we have a duty as role-players to try to anchor each other to reality a bit. To keep other gamers from being complete freaks and weirdos, or even psychopaths, if we can. Killer Cyborg

Leave them to die? Send in the skelebots? What do you do?
what would I do? Destory tolkeen. What..wait? Huh?
Hahahaha....
Declaire the pilot was a traitor to humanity, carpet bomb his last known location.
Send in the clowns.
I guess send in the PC's who happen to be dog boy retrievers is a good idea too.
And the serious answer: Dog boys, samas and sky cycle search and rescute squads.

Didn't one of those adventures in the Index books have a CS CSAR team in them? I think there is another example in the Aftermath book as well. However I don't have either of those books anymore to check.

Actually the CS Commando OCC does include rescue missions, which would cover this conteingency. Also it says that the CS Natutical Commadoes are patterend off of the US Navy Seals, and the Seals' original mission was to rescue downed pilots. So it's conceivable that the CSN would send Nautical Commandoes to rescue their pilots as well.

CSAR?? I could see SAR being Search and Rescue but in the USAF the R in SAR stands for Recovery and they don't look for pilots... at least not all of them. The job of SAR is to scour the scene of a crash to locate all 'objects' related to the crash. Now they could have a version of one of America's stranger special forces the USAF Pararescue also known as PJs. How is that weirder than SEALS or Marine Reacon? They go into hot zones suspended from a helecopter to rescue people!

depending on the mission he was on, A Skelebot squad might be sent to retrieve him, or dogboys in the patrolling area. Sky cycles and the such, --- only if it was a high importance area.

OK they are kinda weird but the PJs have got to be more nutz. "Oh there is some shooting over there. Quick lower me on the wench and we'll see if any of our guys need help." Yeah I know they usually don't go in until called, it just sounded funnier this way.

There's lots of 'weird' special forces units... Wouldn't suprise me if there was a Combat Vet back in WWII to handle the animals.. or a Combat Barber to trim your hair with a few rounds with an M-16A.
dang they don't have a bash emote so
