Author's Notes:

I hope Rico feels really bad about being mean to his suit now!

But, yay, Rico can look after himself out here in these crazy Cosmos. He's not invincible, but it would take a lot to rough him up, so there's only so far the Standard is going to be able to push him and we can relax a little knowing he'll be safe.
