Music: Metroid Other M - The Materials Storehouse
With FB-8276 leading them to an IMC resupply station, Samuel and his Fireteam watched for any Taken, none so far.
"[IMC tech cache reached. No power functionalities detected. It may require a recharge. I will provide access.]" "How are you gonna open that thing? It must be 13 meters thick!" Vanter-11 watched as FB-8276 slammed his fists into the sides of the massive hatch on the facility. A loud metallic groaning could be heard as he slowly pulled the hatch down.
"WHOA! WHAT THE-?! FB, you never cease to amaze me." "[I will take that as a compliment, Pilot Henter. Now, we must search this supply station. There is still equipment inside.]"
FB-8276 and Samuel's Fireteam entered, with the only sources of illumination coming from outside the station and the glow of the Atlas-class Titan's optics.
"Over here! I think I found something!" "[Well done, Verona. This electrical coil is an emergency power intake apparatus.]" FB-8276 put the ever-sparking end of the Arc Cannon into the dusty electrical coil on the wall and held the trigger. Instead of the power building up, it was put into a constant stream, powering the facility.
The lights came on and the gears of the massive door started moving, closing the door before opening it again. Samuel looked to FB-8276, who had a finger on the door lever.

"[You need to see this.]" FB-8276 pointed to a massive chamber with more mechs. "More Titans?" Samuel wondered. "[Correct. It appears they are unlinked. There is Pilot equipment in the next chamber.]"
There was indeed another chamber nearby. Samuel and his team investigated the room, seeing all sorts of weapons and uniforms.

"[My original Pilot had a weapon like what you may seen in that armory.]" "I think it was this rifle." Samuel held a Pilot weapon, which the Titan identified. "[Pilot SMG weapon: CAR.]" "Interesting stuff they had in here."
"What about this?" Vanter-11 held a powerful weapon from the Pilot equipment chamber. "[Pilot Anti-Titan weapon: Charge Rifle. The Charge Rifle utilizes an energy beam to deal damage. It has no travel time and can be used for sniping. Vanter-11, that is the weapon for you, as is either a Kraber-AP Sniper or a longbow DMR.]" Vanter-11 went back into the armory and came back out with two different weapons. "[Pilot sniper weapons: Kraber-AP Sniper and Longbow DMR.]"
"FB, what's this?" Verona held a different weapon. "[Pilot LMG weapon: Spitfire. Make use of it, that weapon can deal massive damage.]"
"Hey, FB, what's this?" Samuel was holding a small pistol. "[Pilot back-up weapon: Smart Pistol. The Smart Pistol is an auto-targeting weapon. Impressive find, Samuel.]"
"FB, what is this one?" Vanter-11 held a different sniper weapon. "[Pilot sniper weapon: D-2 Double Take.]" "I'm using this."

Not long after, they took a look at the Titans in the larger chamber.
"[Ion, Scorch, and Ronin Titans. I do not have information on the others.]" "Can you tell us about them, FB?" "[Titan: Ion. Primary weapon: Splitter Rifle. Defensive: Vortex Shield. Utility: Laser Tripwire. Offensive: Laser Shot. Core ability: Laser Core. It appears there are some of the new Assault Chips on the ground. They are compatible with the new Titans.]" Vanter-11 and Verona picked up the pieces of IMC tech and stood at the consoles in front of the Titans.
"Now we know the Ion loadout, but what about Scorch?" "[Titan: Scorch. Primary weapon: T-203 Thermite Launcher. Defensive: Thermal Shield. Utility: Incendiary Trap. Offensive: Firewall. Core ability: Flame Core.]"
"How about this one with the massive minigun?" "[Titan: unknown. My databanks appear outdated. It currently details the Ronin as a prototype.]"
"We can learn more from the base's records." The Guardians brought out their Ghosts to scan for info on the Titans in storage, finding loads of stuff.
"{Titan: Northstar. Primary weapon: Plasma Railgun. Defensive: Tether Trap. Utility: VTOL Hover. Offensive: Cluster Missile. Core ability: Flight Core.}"
"{Titan: Tone. Primary weapon: 40mm Tracker Cannon. Defensive: Particle Wall. Utility: Sonar Lock. Offensive: Tracking Rockets. Core ability: Salvo Core.}"
"{Titan: Ronin. Primary weapon: Leadwall. Defensive: Sword Block. Utility: Phase Dash. Offensive: Arc Wave. Core ability: Sword Core.}"
"{Titan: Legion. Primary weapon: Predator Cannon. Defensive: Gun Shield. Utility: Mode Switch. Offensive: Power Shot. Core ability: Smart Core.}"
"[I am now updating my database. Vanter, Verona, you may both choose a Titan.]"
"I think I'll go with the Northstar, sounds like my kind of Titan." "I might go with the Legion, but the Tone looks like it can do better. I'll go with that one."
"[Very well. Be advised that the more advanced Titans require Titan Battery Packs. Batteries glow green, making them easy to find.]"
"I think I found where they're stored!" "[Where are you, Samuel?]" "Over here! Near the back wall!" FB-8276 and the other Guardians looked to see Samuel with two glowing green cylinders by his feet. "[Good work. Vanter, Verona, take a Battery Pack.]"
They took one Battery Pack each before hopping on top of their chosen Titans and finding a slot on each of them.
After placing the Battery Packs inside the slots and locking them in, Vanter and Verona were surprised to see the Titans suddenly flash green and begin to move.
Music: Metroid Other M - Uncovering The Bioweapons Plot
"[Datacore online. Engaging perimeter scan.]" "[System reactivated.]" The Northstar and Tone Titans were coming online.
"[Greetings, Titans.]" "[Auto-Titan detected. Friendly signal detected. Identify.]" The Northstar pulled out a different Plasma Railgun, ready to fire at a moment's notice if need be. "[I am IMC Atlas-class Titan FB-8276. My original Pilot, Kuben Blisk, was KIA. I am now linked to a Guardian by the name of Samuel Henter.]" "[Identify what killed your original Pilot.]" The Tone was the one to demand information. "[Alien species designated as 'Fallen'.]"
Identification codes were spotted on the Titans. The Northstar was TX-6284, and the Tone was KF-9492.
"[KF-9492, TX-6284, I have no information on what has happened to the IMC. However, the Guardians are all that remain of humanity's protection. There are no more Pilots, and we are most likely last Titans.]" FB-8276 picked up Samuel and placed him on his shoulder. "[These two other Guardians have chosen you as their Titans. Let them guide you in this ruined time so we may take back Earth.]" "You will have to work together and adapt in order to survive."
Music: Destiny - The First Challenge
Later that day, Samuel and FB-8276 were under attack from three Servitors blasting at them in quick succession, so Verona and KF-9492 showed up to engage and destroy. Verona used her Thunderlord machine gun to deal damage to the Servitors and get their attention, saving Samuel and FB-8276 from any more fire.
With a pulse of the Sonar Lock and six direct hits of the 40mm Tracker Cannon, full locks were acquired on all three Servitors. KF-9492 used the Tracking Rockets to deal with the damaged Fallen hostilities, dealing more damage until the floating eyeballs exploded.
"Thanks, you two!" "[Your assistance is appreciated.]"
KF-9492 bent down and allowed Verona to jump inside the open cockpit. "[Pilot control initiated. Seek out target locks and track them.]" Verona was learning more about the Titans as she experienced more action with KF-9294 and the others.
Vanter-11 was engaging a Cabal Colossus alone near the edge of the Steppes, seeking to challenge himself. He was about to be massively killed before the head of the Colossus exploded, the remainder of the body falling lifelessly to the ground.
"[Pilot, your effective range is not in close proximity to your target. Furthermore, you should know better than to fight beasts more than twice your size unprepared and without backup.]" TX-6284 was flying just beyond the cliff with the Plasma Railgun cooling down. Vanter-11 jumped off the cliff as the Northstar opened her cockpit. "[Transferring control to manual operation.]" Things were gonna get easy.
