Sarah: I know they're not as pretty as the ones at the IMC but she gets the job done.
She?
The Titan spoke. She sounded very similar to Ruby.
Ronin: HI PREDATOR.
What the hell?
Ronin: I'M HAPPY TO SERVE YOU PILOT... PLEASE EMBARK SO I MAY ESTABLISH A NEURAL LINK.
I turned to Sarah.
Predator: May I?
She nodded and I embarked the Titan
This feels so weird.
Ronin: ESTABLISHING NEURAL LINK TO PILOT... ... ... NEURAL LINK ESTABLISHED... PROTOCOL 1: COMPLETED... YAY... PROTOCOL 2: UPHOLD THE MISSION... MISSION UNAVAILABLE... AWAITING ORDER PILOT... PROTOCOL 3: PROTECT THE PILOT... READY TO FIGHT FOR YOU PREDATOR.
Please erase Protocol 3.
Ronin: NOPE... CAN'T DO THAT... SARAH'S ORDERS.
GODDAMMIT!
Ronin: WHY DO YOU WANT IT ERASED?.
I thought about Legion's sacrifice.
Ronin: OH... STILL NO...
We'll see.
Ronin: WAIT!... AREN'T YOU GOING TO GIVE ME A NAME?...
What?
Ronin: SARAH TOLD ME THAT MY PILOT WILL GIVE ME A NEW NAME...
You've got to be fucking kidding. Fine how about Rose?
Ronin: I LIKE IT!.
I disembarked Rose and walked up to Sarah.
Predator: Why?
Sarah: Cause I can Predator. Besides you need a new outfit.
Good point.
Predator: Okay. Lead the way.
She lead me to a military style closet and handed me a Militia Sniper outfit. I put on the outfit and looked into a mirror.

The helmet went off.
Nickname: Predator Leader of the 59th Bat. Beacon Div. Jump Kit: Active Stimulant Remaining: 200/200 Ammunition: 4/4 Map: Active Comms: Active Ready to go Predator.
Good.
Predator: The outfits a little huge but it will do. Thanks Sarah.
Sarah: No problem Predator. You've built quite a reputation among the other pilots here. Those who remember the Apex Predators fear not only you but Slone and Viper.
They're here!?
Sarah: Speaking of them. They are on a scouting mission on Earth. They'll be back in a few days.
Predator: How did you manage to get them to work for you?
Sarah: That's a long story that we don't have time for. For now you need to get back to your Battalion.
Dammit Sarah.
Predator: Yes ma'am.
Sarah: I sent the blueprint of the facility to your helmet.
Got it.
I walked to the barracks to see them all on their own beds. They looked at me funny.
Weiss: Predator?
Predator: Yep.
Blake: It's a little big.
Predator: I know.
Jaune: What's with the mechanical arm on your shoulder?
Predator: It lets me switch weapons without having to look back.
Nora: I want one!
Predator: Calm it! Besides. Its night time. You guys enjoy the tour?
Ruby: Yeah. The place is huge. Oh! We saw your new Titan.
Predator: Oh really?
Yang: Yeah. It sounded a lot like Ruby.
Ruby: It was weird.
Predator: Alright you guys have your beds assigned?
Weiss: Yes we do sir.
Predator: You don't call me sir. You know me.
Weiss: Fine Predator.
Predator: Goodnight everyone.
Everyone: Good night.
I shut the light off and walked to their command center. I walked in to see Sarah talking to another pilot.
Sarah: Yes Predator?
Predator: I'm requesting permission to go to Earth.
Sarah: Why?
I lied to her.
Predator: To test out Rose in action.
Rose: I'M DETECTING.
Shut up. I'll explain later.
Sarah looked at me for a minute.
Sarah: Sure but on one condition. You will only have three hours. After that we will pick you up. If you are not back to the LZ in three hours we will leave you there and consider you a threat.
Predator: Three hours is just enough time.
Sarah: Good. We'll have a dropship ready for you in 15.
I walked to the dropship and Rose and I got in.
Ship Driver: Heading to the planet Earth. ETA 10 minutes.
