William Hammond decendant of Doctor Hammond the one who founded the Hammond Enginnering that would later grow to become the bahemoth known as the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporations or IMC for short.
William Hammond is the son of Mister Hammond the current chairman of IMC and is currently still a teenager, but even in such a young age he had shown great talents in science, enginnering, music and marksmanship. He had inhearited these talents from Doctor Hammond his ancestor.
While his social skills left much to be desired but that is only a minor flaw. Not that he'll need social skills anyway as he spend most of his time talking to machines anyway.
One day he was visiting a secrect research station doing new jump drive research near the frontier.
Why research it near the frontier? Well, that's because it is easier to keep the project hidden there. While the frontier might be dangerous because of the on going war between the IMC and the local rebels whomcalls themselves the matlitia but it is still safer then doing it near core worlds.
As large as the IMC is even they has competitors and they have eyes and ears almost everywhere, the IMC must naturally safe guard they technology.
So with the frontier being significantly less develop and populated, meaning there is alot of places to hide and hard to be detected.
And in this place the IMC pretty much owns everything, well at least on paper as they were the ones to explore, terraforme and colonized the place.
Unfortunately certain things happened which diverted the IMC's attention and rescourse away from the frontier.
Meanwhile squatters moved in and claimed the area.
When the IMC got their attention back the squatters had built themselves a kingdom on their lands.
Naturally the IMC wants control of their land back but the squatters refused saying that the IMC left so it's now theirs.
Their situation is like going back home after a long bussness trip only to discover that the place has been renovated and somebody is now living in your house and sitting on your coach. Whats more suspicous people ranging from gangsters to terrorists are constantly coming in and out your place.
Naturally when the IMC asked them nicely to have their land back the squatters refused and they even calls in their criminal friends to back them up, this of course making the IMC force take extream mesures.
Well if they want to play itthat way then two can play it that way! If the enemy doesn't play by the rules then why should they, lets see who can fight more savagely.
And thats how the fronteir war started.
It is interesting and all but it mattered to William as he just came here to take a look at the new fancy jump drive and is expected to return back to the core worlds in a few days.
Even so safty precautions has to be takken, so a small fleet of ship is currently outside the stations while he is being escourted by a bunch of Stalkers.
One of them in particular is William's personal robotic bodyguard/servant named Thanatos, the greek god of death. It is a special costomade Stalker, is slightly taller and slightly more well built. While it looked pretty much identical to regular Stalkers saved for the fact that it's painted all black, it can do a virarity more task and a smarter AI then the regular Stalkers. As the son of the chairman William would naturally have such previlage.
William is naturally wearing the latest top of the line pilot suit just incase something happens to the station he could still survive in space for a limited amount of time, he is also armed with the LSTAR and the Smart Pistol in the very unlikely chance of one them rebel malitiamen getting past his army of Spectre and Stalkers.
The reason he choose the LSTAR is because he doesn't need to carry the all ammo for a very unlikely event and as for the smart pistol? Well, if by some chance a blood thrusty terrorist manages to break through his security force then chances are that, William expected that with him being unexperience in actual combat will most like panicking and would fire randomly.
With the Smart Pistol the chances of his random shoots thatwill be able to hit anything will drastically increases.
While William was busy examing the new prototype jump drive when the alarms suddenly rang, alerting the station of an enemy intruder.
Soon explosions and gun fire could be heard comming their way.
With the sudden change in situation the Stalkers escourting him suddenly took action by dragging William away to safety, unfortunately their efforts were futile as a moment later a figure suddenly suddenly showed rushing through the door.
The Stalkers besides William immedeately recognized the intruder as a rebel pilot and immedeately opened fire on him.
The enemy pilot seeing he is being fire on, naturally stepped out of the way and took cover behinde some crates, as soon as in cover he immedeately returned fire.
The intruder's shot hit's a Stalker to his left blowing it away and unfortunately whether it was deliberate or not hits the prototype jump drive William was just examining causing it to explode.
Booom
Next moment William along with Thanatos by his side suddenly found themselves in a completey different place.
... Story end...
So what do you guys think?
This is written from the IMC POV completey different from most if not all titanfall fics out there, most of the titanfall fics out there mainly focused on the Malitia's side while completely ignoring the IMC's side. After large corporations are Evil after all, forget about most of the stuff we used today is made by them.
This first chapter is dedicated to look from the IMC's POV, while the IMC did attack civilians but lets not forget that the malitia is also harboring criminals, pirates and the like on their side. They would have raided quite a few convoys, killed quite few people and raped those surviving.
I hope that the next Titanfall game will center around the IMC with their expenisive cool toys and their vast robot army.
