S1: The Unique IMC Pilot

by IMC Librarian

Michael W Johnson, found and raised by Spyglass unit #826591740-A, grows up to become an IMC Pilot, but soon discovers that he is more than that. More than a Pilot, more than a soldier, more than anyone knows, even himself. He is endowed with a destiny that will change his life and the lives of those around him for good.

Michael had offered to take Eagle-Eye 9-1 to Freddy's Angel Buffet for their celebration of the end of their war. They even stopped by Haven to pick up Blisk.

"Knock knock."

"Who's there?"

"Doctor."

"Doctor w- Oh! Hehe heh! That's a good one."

"And it's my favorite show." Michael laughed.

"Really? That old show?" Jack asked.

"I know I'll never meet any of the people who played the Doctor, since the show is over a hundred years old, but I just can't get enough of it!"

"We were lucky there was a box with the entire series of DVDs for sale on Earth. Luckier they were all perfectly intact." Spyglass stated.

They arrived at the restaurant, and it was just opening. "Hey hey hey, guys! Good to see you again!"

"Oi, I remember these guys. Your childhood friends, Michael?"

"You got it, Kuben."

"Eagle-Eye 9-1, I propose a toast!" Michael called out. "We may have had our hardships, and we've lost those close to us. Heck, we've even had our terrible past. But today, our efforts to make up for it have saved the Frontier. Let's not let those losses hold us back. As an old friend of mine once said. 'You can either let this loss define you, or you can learn from it.'. I say we learn from them. Now, let's celebrate our new and better Frontier."

The ordered meals were served out. The Simulacrums, being completely mechanical constructs, did not order. The other Pilots all chose from the menus.

"So, when are you proposing to Samus?"

"When the time is right, Blisk. I'm in no hurry." Michael replied, his left hand atop Samus's right.

"Well, I understand." Jack said.

"It's strange to think that I didn't have any romantic feelings for anyone before, and it was here the whole time." Samus chuckled.

"Samus, I didn't even know about it until that mistletoe event. It's kinda strange."

"Well, I guess there's that. What do you have planned?" Blisk asked.

"One step at a time. Just gonna take it easy. Enough about us, what about you? How have you been?" Michael questioned.

"Eh, alright. I've just been helping out when I see someone having problems."

"I still have that grudge against you for killing Lastimosa." Jack stated.

"You killed Ash before, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Then you've avenged Lastimosa."

"BT said you were the one who killed Lastimosa."

"Ash ripped out those two Batteries, so BT's systems got all bugged up."

"So Ash was the one responsible! I killed her the first time, which turned out to be temporary, then Michael had her imprisoned."

"Good riddance. I didn't like her."

Everyone was done, and they went back to their places. Blisk went back to the Haven resort, while the Pilots returned to the IMC HQ.

I know, I know. Not much of a celebration, but I don't really know.

Anyway, I'll see you next time.
