Approaching uncharted planet

Titanfall - OST 03
Eagle-Eye 9-1 was sent in to investigate a strange signal at an unknown location, identified as planet Gysa. "According to decrypted enemy communications, this location is classified as the Militia's 'Dig Site' facility. If we take this facility, we can secure an advantage over them."
"You heard Spyglass! Move out!" Blisk ordered.
The Pilots landed, only to be surrounded by Militia Spectres.

At first, the Spectres aimed down all sorts of primary weapons, then they went offline as a very odd, yet familiar, sound was heard. The Spectres came back online, their red lights changing to blue.

"Michael, you are in possession of an IMC Wi-Fi Virus transmitter." Spyglass had just found this out.
"Another gift from Dane Smithsonian. I'm putting it to good use."
"I am sure he would be proud of your adaptivity and your resourcefulness."
"I just wish he was still here, y'know?"
"I understand. He was an excellent Pilot. And a good friend to many."
"Reminds me of the kind of Pilot I want to be. Let's focus on the task at hand though."

Militia signatures were detected, and Titans were coming out of the shadows, with green and orange armor plating. "We're surrounded!"
"Eagle-Eye 9-1, stand by for Titanfall."
Titans dropped, sporting white and grey armor plating. "[Ready to transfer control to Pilot.]" Jeeves was one of them.

Michael entered the Atlas-class Titan's cockpit as the Plasma Railgun was fully charged. Releasing the trigger, he unleashed the charged precision plasma round, dealing a substantial amount of damage to a Militia Ogre-class Titan. "Spyglass, care to join the party?" Michael called.
"Lower their numbers, then I will drop in."
With the squad firing back against the Militia Titans, taking minor dents while dealing major damage. Eventually, the first kill was scored, followed by many more.

"Numbers lowered."
"Confirmed. Stand by. I am on my way." An IMC Ogre-class Titan dropped in, holding a Quad Rocket, chassis number: VB-3957.
Another Titan dropped in almost immediately after, an Atlas-class Titan with a Quad Rocket, chassis number: TZ-1636. "You didn't think I would miss something new like THIS, did you?" It was Carlos.
"Good to have another Pilot in the field."
"WHOO! Here we go!" As Carlos disrupted the enemy Titans with rockets and a Cluster Missile, Spyglass took the opportunity to put his Titan to the test.

"Michael, cover my flank. Vanessa, my left. Sid, the right." Spyglass ordered.
"Copy that."
"[You got it.]"
"[They ain't getting past us.]"
Everyone was good to go. "[Ready to uphold the mission.]"
"Good to hear it, Safe-Guard."
"[Marking targets.]" Several aiming reticles appeared on the Titan cockpit display, with Spyglass launching missiles at them and scoring hits.
A doomed Militia Stryder-class Titan came out and began rushing toward the four, with the obvious intent of destroying them with Nuclear Ejection.
Before the Militia Pilot could begin the detonation, Spyglass grabbed the Stryder's right arm and yanked it right out of its socket before tearing out the left arm and using it as a hammer on the nail that is the literally disarmed enemy Titan.

"[Enemies eliminated.]"
"Commander Blisk, what is the status of our mission?"
"You guys are unstoppable! We're taking the Dig Site facility from the Militia!"
"That's good." Michael stated. "Let's keep going."

With Eagle-Eye 9-1 wiping out all Militia units in the area, the mission was almost over.
Just then, an alert came up on Safe-Guard's HUD. "[Warning: Enemy Pilot detected on hull.]" Spyglass disembarked and pulled out his CAR, ready to remove the Pilot from his Titan's hull.
The Pilot took an unexpected action and cloaked before Spyglass could open fire. Neither Spyglass nor Safe-Guard could see the Pilot, until the Vice Admiral was kicked to the ground, the Militia Pilot having uncloaked and was aiming an R-97 Compact SMG at the android's head.
"[Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot.]" In an instant, the Militia Pilot was replaced by an IMC Ogre-class Titan's fist in the ground.

As Safe-Guard stood back up, another Pilot quickly approached from behind and pulled Spyglass back up to his feet. "You OK?" It was Michael.
Spyglass examined the point of impact from the deceased Militia Pilot's kick, seeing a very minor deformity. "A simple dent. I can buff it out."
"You're OK. That's a win in my book."
"I take it you have placed Titan protocol 3 into your own duties?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes."
"Tac Six to Eagle-Eye 9-1, the Dig Site facility is under our control. We managed to destroy the evacuation Drop Ship before it could enter orbit, no Militia Pilots are getting out alive." Blisk reported.

"Well, since this is our mining facility now, how about we put it to good use?"
"Agreed." Michael looked as if he was contemplating something. "Michael, is there a problem?"
"Mining operations on colonized worlds anger the civilians that were brought in to live on those worlds, right?"
"From record, that is proven true."
"Perhaps we could take a tip from this mining facility and designate uncolonized worlds as valid mining targets instead of mining where we moved civilians to."
"By doing this, we will uncover valuable resources without angering the civilians, while also resolving one of the problems that caused the creation of the Militia."
"Exactly."
"If we resolve the problems we caused that formed the Militia, its purpose will become null and void, and it will eventually disband."
"Exactly what I was thinking. We should do that as soon as possible. If the civilians view us as a corrupt organization, then we can consider this plan the beginning of our redemption."
Well, that chapter went a bit interesting.
I've always preferred the IMC over the Militia, despite the Militia's cause. I think the IMC can become better for the well-being and safety of others.
See you next time.
