question, is the simulation a sim where you can die, or can you be killed repeatedly with no ill effects?

and now that Karl is on our team along with ultra force, that could change things as well DMR is pretty on the money with this. Originally I'd thought of a simulation in something like the Holodeck on the Enterprise, a virtual game room you can just walk into. I'd imagined that all of our weapons or projectiles would be blunt or useless, but tipped with a specific toxin/virus/bacteria/magic/grammar error to give the illusion of extreme pain, along with a tranquilizer if it passes a certain threshold, mimicking death until the tranquilizer wears off and you, "respawn."

However, with someone actively trying to hack the system, this could provide some interesting battles. For example, an outside force would obvioulsy carry live rounds. Meaning they can kill us but we can't but give them a nasty headache. I imagined DMR headshotting someone from outside and getting all mad when they don't die.
