You are standing there inside a massive space designed to run a wargame on a hard drive. You are physically knocked out after being dealt too much damage. Imagine a non-lethal hunger games. I can't believe I just compared it to that. I'm a crap writer.

And I'll come up with some technobabble reason why bullets that hit you actually hit you but don't harm you besides hurting a lot. I'll come up with a reason why falling from 300 hundred feet will deal extreme amounts of pain, but won't have any lasting effects. As you can tell, I'm making all of this up as I go.
