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.
