Chapter 19 - Symptons of a Concussion (Patreon)

I’d have to run a simulation after this to conclusively prove it, but I suspected that had I not been wearing my personal shield and armor, my enhancements would have probably let me survive the immediate effects of the explosion, maybe… Assuming I didn’t take a shard of metal through the brain or anything, which was not something I’d have recovered from. As it was, I was pretty pleased I was still conscious, though in a good amount of pain from the concussion/traumatic brain injury I’d just suffered.

This concussion was my first in this new life, but I’d experienced a few before during my tour in Iraq, so I was familiar with the symptoms. Blurry vision, check, headache, check, ringing in the ears, nausea, drowsiness, check, check, check, yep, all the classics. Thankfully, the traditional sense of overwhelming confusion wasn’t there this time. An Augment advantage, perhaps? Some quirk of advanced healing?
