pep!pep!
[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack.
You're wearing raggedy, blodostained versions of your uniforms, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME% in the year %CONTEMPORARY%+1. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing the results of a recent attempt at revolt in a city in %COUNTRYNAME%: worker’s success at managing a nearby gold mine led to dreams of every man being a king - the revolutionaries may have been successful had it not been for a concurrent jailbreak and mass slaughter putting local authorities on alert, buying time for military intervention - the town was nearly leveled to the ground, with few survivors.
...Also, below the main headline about the failed revolution, there's something about Those Who Crave Hands? Huh.
Anyways, you've got marketing to do! ]

straight into the trash bin. And that seems to be it, until...until........! A flash of lightning blinds you, and then all you feel is burning as your muscles rapidly seize and relax. All the other garbage around you seems to float up into the air just slightly - maybe you’re floating, too? It’s hard to tell, as every pain receptor in your body is set off at once and your brain sends random junk signals to your eyes and mouth and ears - well, something like you doesn’t need to be able to speak or see or hear properly, right? Burns coat your body, and eventually you just pass out.
At least once you’re back with the rest of your unit, you’re all sewn back together again - your wounds aren’t healed, but they’re fixed up enough you can function. That’s nice, isn’t it? Another chance to be worth something! And look at your cool new scar! ]
