DEATH DRILL
Samir Kennedy
Sound Work
© Samir Kennedy
This is an intermediate military training procedure, undertaken by all junior military personnel preparing for deployment.
Training must be undertaken at regular intervals to ensure the consciousness of the subject is not irreparably damaged by the trauma of ego death, allowing the consciousness of the soldier, if salvageable, to function normally and efficiently when transported to a new body vessel.
All military personnel undertaking intermediate death drill training must have completed and signed a declaration of relinquishment of life (augmented) documentation form (D666)
Personnel must only commence training once sedative D34TH has been administered.
Training must be undertaken in complete and total darkness.
