> Unfortunately, Kon does not make it into space. The pulse does shoot him down, but he will actually discover some interesting information regarding it through this mission!
> For example, he will notice that the pulse that hits him is nothing like the one that shot down the Kharaa ship a few weeks ago. It doesn't knock out anyone's powers, for one. It could mean that the pulse adjusts its strength based off of the size of whatever it's shooting down or other factors, but that's hard to say without further research.
> He will also notice that when and where the pulse shoots him down also varies. If he's going very, very slowly, for example, he may even be able to go as far up as innermost part of the thermosphere before getting shot down. If he moves at his top speed, he'll get down down almost immediately. Kon might also realize that when the blasts that hit him when he is higher up in the atmosphere will be a lot more powerful than when he's lower, as if the planet is a lot more frantic to shoot him down the closer he gets to leaving.
> He'll notice that when he stays completely still in the air, nothing will fire at him. So if he wants to take any pictures while up there then that'll be the best time to do so. He may also dodge some of the blasts, but if he keeps managing to do that then the pulse will just become more and more intense so when it does, finally, hit him, it's going to hurt a lot.
