Carly: "Pilot we're detecting some disturbance below us. Do you still wish to land?"
Me: "Go ahead with the landing Carly"
I was sitting in the cockpit communicating with my family through the neurolink that all pilots have. Approaching Harmony, I thought back to what I had seen on the frontier. And now I return to a place where my nightmares seem like distant fairy tales.
Carly (Vanguard): "Copy pilot, commencing decent now."
Amelia (Northstar): "Detecting an unknown energy signature, beginning scan"
"I got a bad feeling about this"
Carly (Vanguard): "Should we abort pilot?"
"Negative, keep going. Raise the shields though."
A loud bang is heard as the metallic blast shields enter their positions and lock in place.
Cassady (Ion): "Blast shields raised"
Alyxis (Tone): "Pilot, calculations show that there is no risk in continuing our approach."
Me: "Alright, carry on"
As the ship made its descent I noticed that we seemed to be increasing in speed, but our instruments said otherwise.
"Carly, transfer controls to pilot"
Carly (Vanguard): "Controls transferred to pilot"
I tried to slow our decent, but the controls wouldn't respond.
"Shit, Cassady send out a Mayday, we've lost control."
Cassady (Ion): "Radio is jammed pilot, they don't even know we exist."
The ship started to shake as our speed kept increasing. I strapped myself in the chair and kept trying to regain control.
Amelia (Northstar): "detecting a planet-sized landmass below us, impact in 2 minutes."
As the ship continued it's decent I was blinded by a bright light. When I could see again I realized I was entering the atmosphere. The ship continued to shake as we continued our descent. I saw the ship start to burn on re-entry into the atmosphere as she finally responded to my control.
"The Last Hope ain't dying today."
Cassady (Ion): "Pilot, are you alright? My sensors indicate you are experiencing a loss of vision."
"I'm fine, Amelia where are we?"
Amelia: "Unknown, all connection to Militia and IMC connections were lost. We appear to be above an Earth-class planet."
I understand the Militia radios as I have encountered their dead zones before, but to lose connection to IMC channels as well? This is not good.
"Run scans and check it through all databases for a match"
Amelia: "Data indicates this planet to be Earth, the year 2018."
Me: "Odd, the IMC had a station, though primitive by then. Carly, what are protocols for a situation like this?" Maybe they created some after Cooper's time-traveling adventure.
Carly: "There are no protocols, pilot."
Amelia: "I recommend landing before we're detected."
"Okay Find me a location."
CD: "There is a field large enough to hide the ship, and was in our path of descent. "Closest civilization is college 20 miles away pilot."
Me: "excellent. "
I began decently and transferred controls to Carly. I went down the armory and grabbed my wingman and put my helmet on. I have an SRS helmet and gear, an exact copy of the one Jack Cooper wears. I browse over my gear and I select a cloak ability and place grappling attachment on my arm. I grab a smart pistol and slide it along my waistband till it goes into place behind me. I grab a few pulse blades and slide my data knife. Finally, I chose my favorite grenade, the Gravity star.
As I do a final check of my equipment the phase ability catches my eye. I haven't really used it as I love the looks on people's faces as a Titan picks me up, and killing someone with it leaves a bloody mess. I hesitate and finally decide on grabbing it and put it in its rightful place in my suit. With that done I start to leave the armory when Cassady speaks up.
Cassady: "What are you doing, Pilot?"
Me: "I'm going to find out what exactly is going on. Keep trying to contact the Militia or find some IMC frequencies."
Cassady: "Will do Pilot."
I walked out of the armory and walked down to the hanger. I entered an infantry transport ship and headed off to "Earth's" surface.
