[FMAS] RALLYING

Just a thought. In 2183, we assume that military 
and police forces use HUDs, wrist computers, 
blah blah blah high tech stuff. 

If so, why would there be (just as a Devil's 
Advocate) a Quality sized radius to rallying? 

Could not someone be "talked down" over a 
radio or videocom?

For FMAS:Adv, it might make sense to allow 
such a test, but only from someone who meets 
the other criteria specified in Jon's rally rules 
but also who would have access to the squad 
frequencies (such as the Sgt. or Lt.). And apply 
a DOWN1 or DOWN2 to the test. I'm not saying 
it'd be as easy to rally someone by radio, but I 
don't think it is impossible either. 

Anyone who has dealt with panicked people 
over the phone (911 operators, etc) probably 
can attest to the fact it is, in some cases, 
possible to get people calmed down. It just isn't 
as easy as it would be in person.

Just some food for thought.
