Recovery Beacon

When a Freelancer agent dies or is about to die, his/her armour transmits a distress signal to command. A Recovery agent is sent to recover them, their AI and their armour enhancement before they fall into enemy hands or the AIs are terminated. Failing the recovery of an AI, the enhancement or even the body, any information given to command would be acceptable.

Cases of Recovery Beacons in Red vs Blue

 * Not mentioned in Out of Mind, but when Agent New York was Killed In Action (KIA), his Recovery Beacon activated, as seen in chapter 1 of Recovery One and agent Washington was sent to 'recover' him, his AI and enhancement.


 * Just after Washington recovers Delta from a deceased Agent York, the former receives another signal from Agent North Dakota, to discover his AI, Theta and his enhancement gone.


 * In chapter 19 of Reconstruction, Agent Washington is shot by the Meta and his own Beacon activates.

Inconsistencies

 * When Tex is killed in episode 19, if her Recovery Beacon did activate, no agent was sent to retrieve her, though this may be due to her leaving the project.


 * When Washington was shot by South in chapter four of Recovery One, his beacon did not activate. Or, if it did, command expected it and deliberately sent no one out to recover him.
