Caldon Horatio, Veteran of 54 battles with 342 kills, was killed in the closing of the Vestmarch campaign. The brave exo-scout was within running distance of the cutter when he was overwhelmed from behind by xenos and cut to pieces.
Buckets off, lads, a brave hero has fallen.
*An appropriately mournful dirge plays as an empty coffin is fired off into space*
There was a subdued air in the squad bay that evening.
"'e was my mate." said Haron Lucious, his brother Exo-scout. "What does this mean? Does he still count towards the unit cap? Does that mean we can have a maximum of two new scouts and, if they get killed, the squad won't be able to recruit any more because all the available slots are filled by corpses? I liked 'em and all, but the show must go on."
"Morbid thoughts", said Juron Angelous, a soldier. "But I've a more practical concern. He's a fallen comrade in the menu. He can still be selected and de-selected. What does that mean?"
"Question #3", said Corbulo Solvin as he jumped in, "is if there's anyway to recover the kit he had on 'im? That was a relic scout powerarmor with long devastator and a storm fist." I love the bloke, but that's irreplaceable. Far better that it fit another templar who can use it to avenge his death."
They stare off into space, and pass the spice plate.
==== Despite the fan-fictiony read, those ARE serious questions I hope someone can answer. Thanks!

pendell +1 on what Jacob said, really entertaining request. I think I can answer your questions, but I'm not 100% guaranteeing this is correct. 1) Fallen comrades don't count towards your unit cap, I believe you'll be able to recruit more provided your scouts are dead. 2) Might be a bug, I think selecting a fallen comrade does nothing? 3) As far as I know, there is no way to recover kit. We've had some discussion about it, and as far as I know there are no plans for recovery in the future. It might be nice if you could get a Templar to the spot where he died and recover it, but I believe the rationale is that the Templar suits are just not capable of picking up stuff while maintaining combat readiness. Either way, hilarious post!
