Mechanical War

- Unexpected Meeting -

Dom POV

Droz: " 20 minutes before we arrive! "

Davis: " Alright, thanks! "

He then turned towards me and spoke again.

Davis: " So, what have you been up to? "

Dominic: " Meh, not much to be honest. I mostly made Blueprints for future projects and...stuff. "

I was now back at the Militia HQ on Harmony. It's been a little while since I've last been here.

I waved at Davis and Droz as I got off the dropship, making my way out of the hangar. I come across a few grunts and saluted them as I continued walking. I wasn't sure where to go since this place is huge.

I could see someone walking towards me, though, they were looking down at some sort of digital pad, that was until they looked up.

Sarah Briggs: " Oh! There you are, Pilot! Gates wants to see you. She's in the planning room down the hallway. "

Dominic: " Thanks, commander. "

I nodded and made my way to the planning room.

Once I got there, I opened the door and got inside. To my surprise, the room was bigger than I thought. A table in the center of the room projected a digital screen and a few holograms of information. Gates was standing behind it.

Gates: " Pilot Fusion. "

Dominic: " Commander Gates. "

We gave each other a military salute

Dominic: " So...this mission, what's it about? "

Gates: " Our troops have located an IMC Facility on Exoplanet. "

Dominic: " The Badlands System. "

Gates: " Correct. "

Pictures taken from a satellite appeared on the projected screen. The flora looked similar to Typhon's.  Gates leaned against the table with both of her fists.

Gates: " We're not sure whether it is a research or an experimental station. Your job is to figure it out and destroy the facility without getting spotted. You won't be able to get inside with your Titan so we'll drop you and FX a few kilometers away from their base.  "

Dominic: " Oh, I'm going in alone?  I can work with that! "

I've always been better on solo missions. I can do it my way and there's no one to slow me down.

Gates: " Actually, there might be a Pilot from another fraction joining you. Unfortunately, I don't have much information on them. I only know that they're named Dawn and that they have talent. "

...Well, that was disappointing... 

I sighed.

Dominic: " Anything else? "

Gates: " Not that I can think of at the moment. "

Dominic: " Alright. When am I leaving? "

Gates: " In about a few hours. "

Dominic: " Then I better get prepared
