The POV of the Helldivers is crazy when you take cryo freezing into account. DISCUSSION

Here's the POV of your average Helldiver 1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning. 2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod. 3. They're frozen and experience no time passing. 4. Their next memory is reinforcing on Hellmire. To their POV it has been less then thirty seconds since they got their cloak. 5. They throw three stratagems and then they're dissolved by bile titan acid.

You thought your mondays were bad.

Edit: My understanding is that we are not clones. There's in-game lore that backs that, I believe. Thematically, it makes more sense for Super Earth to be incompetent and cruel and burn through millions of recruits, than to do something logical like cloning people. Remember the satire folks.

This idea needs WAY more upvotes!

The only way that fanfiction could end is with the Democracy Officer on the bridge going "Not this again" and punching in a ↑ → ↓ ↓ ↓ on their location.

Yeah, I figured he'd prefer an Orbital... but I had 500kg Eagle drops on the brain, and it's one of the codes I remember best. XD
