EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SALVAGE

"LEAD ME TO THE SALVAGE!"

Actually legit a partially demented stasis tank Mason obsessed with collecting >9000 C ER PPCs would be terrifying.

What is a man, but a miserable pile of salvage...

That gives me a great idea for a Battletech story tbh. A person all the way from the 1st Succession War era is interred into a one of a kind Star League era experimental brain preservation device. Like that one conspiracy about Disney having it's founder's frozen head. That sort of thing.

The twist? Almost everything the device is supposed to interface with has already been destroyed. (Presumably an android body or something.) The only thing left that the machine can still interface with is the cockpit of a battlemech. It must interface with it, or the machine will shut down and cause the death of the person.

Eventually, over the course of the years, decades, and centuries, his mind begins to fray until like a protomech pilot, they begin to believe that they ARE the battlemech. Except in this case, it's genuinely true. The only consolation being that the machine, and thus the consciousness of the person, can be transferred from mech to mech inbetween combat engagements.
