Moreover, the much-discussed permadeath mechanic isn't as scary as you've been led to believe... if you play your cards right.By cards I mean operators, the literal lifeblood of Zero Company. While you can get through the game using only authored characters, that's an approach that, at least during a first playthrough, puts them at unnecessary risk.
