I was referring to your altered ego, where if a vehicle flies (don't ask
about that hang glider), "Collision" Collinson can crash it to the level
of a good landing (ie, you can walk away).  According to scuttlebutt,
he's yet to manage a great landing (where you can use the unfortunate
vehicle again).

The Patrician of Demolition had a cameo in the final session of PA:VT.

Second, from what little I understand, commissioned officers don't get
dropped back to other ranks.

Mysteriously cut their throats shaving;

cashiered;

demoted;

kicked upstairs to somewhere they can't do any damage;

imprisoned for the term of their natural;

shot, court-martialled, and then sent to the Nusku Front;

yes, but not busted back to the ranks.
