Even if you disregard the metaphysical - if I count the number of people who are still around from the original squad I started with, there’s two of us (myself and LaFond). Some of the folks who have left space are still alive, of course - but many of them _will not be_, eventually, having opted to go back to baseline. And a lot of them are dead - suicides, clone failures, deaths on stations without soft clones, neurodegenerative diseases, and some shady ■■■■ strictly on the list of things we are not talking about.

Capsuleers die. They die _all the time_. Before the Sundsele attacks, it was true that I had, in a decade, lost more capsuleer friends than I had baseliner kin.

The “immortality” is an illusion, a recruiter marketing scam.
