Some information that the characters would pretty much already have on hand with regards to the Osprey, strapping in and all that good stuff:
*: The Osprey is technically a rear-loader, which means that the aft portion of the vehicle can open like a loading ramp (which it is) to allow persons either to stand in that section and do things or disembark. Exiting the aircraft via this way would be the safest (provided you can fly or are wearing your 'chute
) at this altitude, and there would be no chance or risk of getting caught in the engines in any way. It's designed to allow jumps if necessary.
*: The aft compartment is sealed off from the passenger compartment by a door, which is itself designed to allow the opening of the aft hatch without compromising cabin pressure throughout the entire vehicle. Opening this door with the aft hatch open would of course result in cabin pressure being compromised.
*: Standing in the back with the hatch open would require an EX intensity Agility Feat to maintain your balance and keep from being pulled out the back of the plane. Being strapped in or holding on to something can prevent you from falling off, but balance itself can still be lost in any case.
*: The passenger compartment has two partial doors (on each side) with mountings for persons to strap in. These are usually used at low speeds and low altitudes to allow for persons using machine guns or similar weapons to provide cover fire for persons on the ground or to engage enemy forces on the ground from an elevated position. At the Osprey's current speed and altitude, this would be a dangerous prospect (at best). Most (but not all) Agility Feats with regards to ranged attacks would be made at -CS's, due to the buffeting of wind and such from moving so fast. A character strapped in would not have to worry about getting sucked out the window, but it wouldn't be comfortable in any case. Obviously, opening either of these doors compromises the cabin pressure of the passenger compartment. Attempting to exit via these doors would be very dangerous, as there would be a good chance of getting drawn into the Osprey's jet engines. (That would be... Ouch.)
