William pov
(Corky: surprise!!! Yoy guys remeber him right?)

I remained in my HC as a standby incase our forces needed help pushing the corporations back far enough to establish a beach head.

thus far the only news I've gotten so far was news of a single heavy carrier equipped with a full detail of PCA manufactured machines, and a compliment swarm of drones...the new being that the carrier was kicked out of the sky by a single unknown mercenary in an AC...

William: *sigh* dammit...damn you Raven...

I begrudgingly spoke under my breath as I felt a swelling of anger raise in my heart...it was all her fault

To calm my self, I leaned back in my cockpit with my arms folded as I fought my angered expression and emotions...for they have no place in the battle field...

Leaning forward towards the controls, I tapped on the coms unit before speaking.

William: what's the status on our assault?

I waited for a moment before another officer hopped on the channel.

PCA officer: the assumption was a success. Our forces now control this sector and more...minimal casualties for now...but the reports are still coming in...

William:  I see...

I sighed with a moment of relief before looking through my front hud to see many of my men hopping out of their machines and walking further into the ship...

William: you idiots...

I whispered in dissapointment...the fact that one of our own could be down there and in need of assistance, and we couldn't respond fast enough because they thought the job was done?...it was starting to drive me mad...

William: I swear...I'm gonna cancel their payed days off...oh, and drills~...surprise inspection's gonna come early boys~

I smiled as my little punishment for my unit began to peuce together like a fun puzzle...my mind now off of the whole Raven ordeal now...but in that split second of relief-

System: EMERGENCY SIGNAL DETECTED...

PCA officer: PCA warant officer William...I'm picking up a distress signal coming from the surface...it's gonna take time for a full sweep of our own...unless you can get your unit out there...?

Taking hold of my controls, and preping for departure, I spoke up.

William: I'll handle it...The HC is equipped with a few evacuation measures...shouldn't be to much for it to handle...

PCA officer: your going in alone?

William: affirmative...tell my unit that they all owe me 30 drill sets and rounds at the bar after this...

I heard the Officer on the other end chuckle before she spoke again.

PCA officer: Roger that...happy hunting...

I smiled slightly to myself as my HC was slowly guided by the hangar rails towards the drop exit. And with a quick systems check for all combat and flight purposes...the rail dropped me behind the ship in mid air as I used my thrusters, and the force coming from the carrier's thrusters to boots my speed...a little explioit i leads after a few years of experience...
