Great, I'm stuck in a forest. what a fantastic way to wake up. okay, first things first. Helmet, check R-201, check combat suit, a little torn but its still good F-4903 MIA. thats not good. ship is 1.5 clicks west looks like i have a long march ahead.

My name is Janu, yeah yeah, laugh it up. I disappointed my family when I joined the 6-4 anyways. oh well, they were all IMC anyways. were. IMC does terrible things to perceived traitors, my joining the mlitia put them on the list.

It was just supposed to be a normal drop. fly over, jump, and hit the ground running. it all went wrong. we got hit early on, I'm surprised we survived it all we felt at first was a little turbulence and then ships started disappearing. I guess ours did too because next thing i know im flying through the air faster than i should. F-4903

or "Fred" pulled me out of him and wished me luck before chucking me out the open jump door. that ass, I'm gonna get him for that, once I get to the ship. only .2 clicks left. I hear some rustling in the bushes to my left and turn in time to see a black creature that, for lack of a better description was, well. a warewolf.

I didn't have time to even do much more than look at it before it leapt at me. I used my jump kit to dash away before gunning it down. I checked the readout and it said I only used 4 bullets on it. I looked back to where it fell and all I saw was a faint amount of quickly dissapating black smoke.

Well. as fun as that was I think the fauna are safe being classified as hostile. as soon as I reprogrammed my helmet to tag them i got multiple pings in the bushes behind me. before they could even react I swiveled and shot all three in the head with two bullets apiece. only one survived, and I think I made it angry. "oh, so you dont like it when I shoot your friends but its all okay for you to attack randomly." I said as I scanned his body for weak points. Jesuse this guy has alot of armor. as it charges me on all fours use my jump kit to arc over him planting two more rounds into the back of it's skull.

Note: fauna are resistant to bullets to the bone plates. oh helmet, what would I do without you, probably die, thats for sure.

I hate hiking, and these little warewolf things, but I've finally made it to the ship... or what's left of it, thing looks like it hit the ground without landing gear. good news, the cargo area is shut so those things can't get in that way, problem is, neither can I. I think ill try for the cockpit, I pass little outcroppings of metal as I carefully make my way to the front. looks like it is mostly intact. as I peer in the window I see a helmet moving around inside. before I can break the window the pilot pulls a pistol from her belt and points it right at my face. I can see her eyes, I'd call them gray, but they seem to have a more silver sheen in them. I raise my hands slowly and take off my helmet and she calms down immediately. she unlatches the window and pushes it open and to my surprise she says "get in here pilot, I need your help."

as she drags me into the back of the ship I realize something, this thing could still fly. shes babbling on about something as we get to the cargo bay and I see... Fred. all the others, Titans and pilots alike are gone, probably jumped as soon as they felt something go wrong. Fred is shut down in the corner but as soon as I stepped in the room he booted back up and almost broke a few things to get to me. For a monarch frame he certainly is affectionate. the pilot of the ship carefully walks up to me and punches me in the shoulder and says "that's for scaring us." then she pulls me in for a kiss and says "and that's for keeping your promise" before I even have a chance to say anything she gets into Fred's cockpit. "Shit, I guess I have to ride shotgun" Freds optics turn to me and he says "yes Janu, yes you do." I sigh as I pull myself onto my girlfriend's lap. "well where are we headed."

"to the closest settlement because I know we're not on the frontier anymore"
