====== Flight ======
[[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] is a [[:Mechanic:Condition]]. It is an [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entity's]] acceptance of defeat in or withdrawal from an [[:Mechanic:Encounter]].

An [[:Mechanic:Entity]] with the [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] [[:Mechanic:Condition]] has opted out of the current [[:Mechanic:Encounter]]. They are removed from the [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]], losing all unspent [[:Character:Rating:Action Point|Action]] and [[:Character:Rating:Quick Action Point|Quick Action Points]].\\
\\
While under the effect of this [[:Mechanic:Condition]], [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] are effectively a non-participant for the remainder of the [[:Mechanic:Encounter]]. This reflects the [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] avoiding the [[:Mechanic:Encounter]], and any negative consequences of the [[:Mechanic:Encounter]], such as [[:Mechanic:Trauma]], [Malfunctions] and [[:Mechanic:Injury|Injuries]]. How this [[:Mechanic:Condition]] is applied and appears is contextual, and will require narrative interpretation, as [[[:Mechanic:Appropriate]]. You and the other [[:Mechanic:Player|Players]] may deem it [[:Mechanic:Appropriate]] that when your [[:Character]] reaches 0 [[:Character:Rating:Strain]] from repeatedly [[:Character:Exhaustion|Exhausting]] themselves, they simply pass out and collapse on the spot. The same scenario may casue your [[:Character]] to panick and bolt for the nearest exit. Both examples are possible and it is up to you and the other [[:Mechanic:Player|Players]] to determine what is the most [[:Mechanic:Appropriate]] outcome and action for the [[:Mechanic:Entity]] in [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] to take.

Should the [[:Mechanic:Condition:Flight|Flight]] [[:Mechanic:Condition]] be removed, through means such as the [[:Mechanic:Basic Ability:Mettle]] [[:Mechanic:Action]], the affected [[:Mechanic:Entity]] acts in the same manner as any other [[:Mechanic:Entity]] joining the [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]]. They immediately perform one [[:Mechanic:Action]], then during the next [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order:Environmental Step]] they must perform an [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order:Initiative]] [[:Mechanic:Test]], to determining their new position in the [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]]. See [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]] for details.
