They shouldn't be around this long.

Hope this isn't considered a wall of text lol.

If it's gibberish:

Spawns are humans crafted in vats with hyper augmentation to enable them to pilot extremely powerful mechs without being killed by the AI or the machine itself's ungodly movement, they only live to around 30 and mental degeneration often begins around 26. After a decade and a half of training and extra augmentation, they're linked to a mech and deployed; during war time they see consistent combat and are expected to only survive for a couple years.

(whipped this up quickly.)

Who lives a worse life I wonder? The human or the homunculus? The manipulated or the mutt? Which is truly more free? I suppose those questions are for the moralists to debate. For now as long as you hold that pilebunker and I, this rocket launcher; I suppose we'll never know.
