Another day at the IMC HQ, with everyone trying to locate the home base of the Remnant Fleet. "I think I found it, but it's too heavily guarded, looks like we can't get through to it." Bish reported.

"We've finished diverting all Frontier-wide IMC power sources we can afford to reroute. Now we just need to use the Hardpoints to secure the areas around the generators. Once we have enough power, we can use the Outpost Cannon Array to destroy their defenses, then we can wipe them out once and for all." Adam stated.

"Right, but we can't activate them all at once, or else we'll overload the Outpost Cannon Array. We'll have to do it one at a time."

"The generators will give off a large signal, and it is possible the Remnant Fleet will send some of its forces to investigate. I'll rally Eagle-Eye 9-1, the other IMC squadrons are preoccupied fighting off the Remnant Fleet."

"Eagle-Eye 9-1, your mission is to protect each of the generators located in various facilities around the Frontier. I'll be leading this mission, so I will need to fill out roll call and statistical analysis." Adam briefed.

"[Tone-class Titan Echo-Mike Nine-One-Five-Six: present and assigned to Pilot Michael Johnson.]"

Everyone turned to the Tone standing at the edge of the barracks. "Well, I guess I'll have every different Titan connected to my neural link. Let's do this."

"[Please embark when ready.]"

Music
Titanfall 2 - Link to Pilot

Michael approached the Tone as it opened the hatch, allowing him to enter the cockpit. "[Protocol 1: Link to Pilot. Connecting to neural link.]" Michael felt the tiny twinge in the back of his head... again. "[Connection: established. Pilot Michael Johnson, you are now confirmed as acting Pilot of EM-9156. Protocol 2: Uphold the Mission. Our orders are to eliminate all Remnant Fleet forces and secure the Frontier, ridding it of what remains of the IMC's corruption. Protocol 3: Protect the Pilot. Initializing critical systems. Program Omni-10 loaded. Aegis Rank: 7.]"

Eagle-Eye 9-1 was ready to uphold the mission, and the first generator location was the Black Water Canal refueling facility.

"Remember, the Remnant Fleet will stop at nothing, not even defeat, to wipe us out. We have to treat them the same way." Adam transmitted.

"On it." Samus acknowledged.

"The Aurora Units are still calculating how dense the Remnant Fleet HQ's defenses are, so we don't know how much power we need." Bish reported.

"Things are already getting dicey against the Remnant Fleet as it stands, and we're running out of resources. We'll have to change that old mining facility on Gysa into something else." Carlos was right.

"[We have to do this, or else the Remnant Fleet will destroy everything we have worked for.]" Mr. Mortar added.

"Bish, start it up." Michael ordered.

"Beginning power transmission to Odra-9 Outpost Cannon Array. Black Water Canal power generator activated." It was working. The auxiliary generator was transmitting power to Odra-9. "We're receiving power. Energy injector 1 is charging."

"[Caution: Picking up multiple contacts.]" BT-7274 reported.

Everyone readied up as Michael's Tone became battle-ready. "[Michael, the Particle Wall deployment mechanism is online. You already know how a Particle Wall functions, since Vanessa and Sid can also deploy them. The Tracking Rockets are ready. This missile launcher requires a full lock on a target in order to fire homing missiles. The Sonar Lock is online. This sonic pulse will reveal any enemies in a certain area around where it lands, while also establishing a partial lock on any Titan, Drop Ship, or Reaper in the area. All critical systems are functional.]"

The signatures were getting closer, closer, closer still.

"Remnant Fleet!"

"Attack!"

"Don't let them control the Hardpoints, or else they'll disrupt the power transmission!"

"We're losing B!"

"I'm on it!" Michael headed over to Hardpoint Bravo in order to investigate the loss of its signal. When he arrived, it was revealed to be two Remnant Fleet Titans. A Northstar and a Monarch.

"[Salvo Core energized.]" Michael let loose an extended Salvo Core payload, completely annihilating his targets.

Michael [Salvo Core] Remnant Fleet Northstar
Michael [Salvo Core] Remnant Fleet Pilot
Michael [Salvo Core] Remnant Fleet Monarch
Michael [Salvo Core] Remnant Fleet Pilot

"[Targets destroyed. Well done. We should retake Hardpoint B and defend it so we can activate the generator and secure this area, then we'll be one step closer to exterminating the Remnant Fleet.]"

"Michael, you've got another Remnant Fleet Titan coming your way!"

"Copy that, Bish. We're gonna track them down and take them out."

"[You got that right, Michael.]"

Music
Titanfall - OST 52

"[Warning: Hostile Titanfall incoming.]" Michael dashed out of the way, avoiding a falling Legion-class Titan.

"That was a close one."

"[Let's not worry about that right now.]"

Michael landed two hits on the Legion before it pulled up the Gun Shield, blocking the third round. He used the Sonar Lock to complete the lock before deploying a Particle Wall to block the Predator Cannon rounds.

With the Gun Shield up, Michael couldn't land the Tracking Rockets. "[Fire the Tracking Rockets around the Gun Shield.]" Michael aimed the Acolyte Pod at an angle and released the Tracking Rockets. They flew around and hit the Legion in the back. "[Nicely done. The Gun Shield doesn't block the entire front of the Legion, shoot at the feet.]"

Michael let loose three explosive tracker rounds near the enemy Titan's feet, managing to get locks on the Legion before launching more Tracking Rockets around the Gun Shield.

"[Friendly Titan inbound. Atlas-class.]" A bolt of electricity blasted the Legion in the back, disrupting its systems and causing moderate damage.

"Samus! Good to see ya!"

"Happy to help."

"[It's getting up. Zap it again!]" Samus charged the Arc Cannon to maximum before firing, disrupting the Legion's critical systems to a significant amount.

"Looks like you've got this one." Michael stated.

"I can deal with this." Putting away the Arc Cannon, Samus grabbed the Legion by the shoulder and pulled it to its knees before disengaging Pilot-Mode to summon her Power Suit. Arc-Rod forced the enemy Titan's cockpit open and opened her own hatch to reveal Samus aiming down on the Remnant Fleet Pilot. She took the shot, and it caused pure focused devastation.

Samus [Super Missile] Remnant Fleet Legion

Samus's Power Suit vanished as Arc-Rod released the dead Titan and closed her cockpit.

"Bravo's back under our control, and it's at a good amount of the way there. Injector 1 is at 72%." Bish reported.

"I think you've got it from here." Samus said over the comms.

"We could use your help in keeping Hardpoint B secure."

Music

"[Samus isn't the only one there to assist you.]" As two Remnant Fleet Titans dropped in at B, a large maelstrom of missiles came and shredded the enemies.

ZJ-7349 [Flight Core Salvo] Remnant Fleet Legion
ZJ-7349 [Flight Core Salvo] Remnant Fleet Pilot
ZJ-7349 [Flight Core Salvo] Remnant Fleet Ronin
ZJ-7349 [Flight Core Salvo] Remnant Fleet Pilot

Michael and Samus looked up, seeing ZJ-7349 fold up her Northstar Acolyte Pods. "You just took those two down that easily?!"

"[I have to uphold the mission AND protect my Pilot, you know?]"

"Protocols 2 and 3."

"Injector 1 is at full power. The AOD of planet Cibus is now coming online and the Hardpoints are locked." Bish reported. All over the planet, hundreds upon thousands of Anti-Orbital Defense cannons unfolded and fired upon the Remnant Fleet, forcing them to retreat.

Music
Titanfall - OST 03

With the Black Water Canal refueling facility secured and protected from the Remnant Fleet, and the first back-up energy injector of the Outpost Cannon Array on Odra-9 fully charged, the Pilots disembarked and awaited transport back to the IMC HQ.

"So... Samus. Thank you for helping me there."

"True IMC Pilots stick up for others, right?"

"Right. You're a true Pilot, Samus. It's an honor to fight alongside you."

There's a new Tone-class Titan and a new mission.

Don't worry, the war between the IMC and the Remnant Fleet won't be as long as the one between the old IMC and the Militia.

Now then, for the Odra-9 Outpost Cannon Array, there are a total of ten injectors.

If you couldn't tell, I've started bringing a bit of the Amped Hardpoint Titanfall 2 gamemode into this.

As always, I'll see you next time.
