ACES II 0/0 Ejection Seat
A single-seat ACES II ejection assembly: a sculpted composite and metal survival seat fitted with multi-point harnesses, canopy-breaker/rocket pack, and an integrated survival kit. Compact and battle‑rated for stealth fighters, it appears in radio/briefing reports and is invoked by military officers as tangible evidence a pilot has ejected. Characters reference the seat clinically — as both a technical detail and a human clue — while senior staff react with immediate operational and moral urgency.

Purpose
To provide emergency pilot egress and life‑saving ejection capability from combat aircraft, rated for zero‑altitude/zero‑airspeed (0/0) recoveries.
Significance
Functions as a decisive technical clue that shifts the crisis from abstract loss to a potential rescue: the seat implies the pilot may survive, personalizes the casualty, and escalates political and moral pressure on leadership to authorize retrieval.
