| While under the effect of this [[:Mechanic:Condition]], [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] are effectively neutralised for the remainder of the [[:Mechanic:Encounter]]. This is largely a narrative option for [[:Mechanic:Entity|Entities]] that do not wish to suffer the negative consequences of repeated [[:Mechanic:Trauma]], [Malfunctions] and [[:Mechanic:Injury|Injuries]]. How this [[:Mechanic:Condition]] is applied and appears is both personal and contextual, 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 result in your [[:Character]] panicking and bolting for the nearest exit.

| 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]] may immediately perform one [[:Mechanic:Action]]. Then during the next [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order:Environmental Step]] they must perform an [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order:Initiative]] [[:Mechanic:Test]], with the [[:Mechanic:Dice Pool:Total]] determining their new position in the [[:Mechanic:Initiative Order]]. | 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]].
