And I remember that this caused quite a lot of irritated posts with questions about the how and why, and what. One of the baselines was:

"Just ignore it, this part was probably written for 4th ed., or I don't know. How did you even get the Skillwires necessary to try and use those hang gliders skillsofts and land on that roof, when we don't even have parachutes, anyways?"  :)

What does parachutes have to do with hang gliders?

Honestly, the way that "host" was presented made perfect sense given the context and supporting details. To me it just drove home the fact that hosts as a location-less entity makes sense in only limited cases.

The idea that every facility has its own host which controls the regulated functions, yet can be accessed from anywhere worldwide? There needs to be some sort of stage between individual person's comms/decks and worldwide hosts...

I believe it was a joke reference to not having parachute or glider stats, but having the skills for a very long Kiir.
