Today was a special day for the [i]MCS Lastimosa[/i]. The crew was gearing up for Special Operation 273, an attack on an IMC Titan manufacturing plant. While there are others, this is the closest one in the area, and taking it out would make taking the Frontier much easier. There were people getting ready, wishing each other luck, making messages should they fall in combat, that type of thing. 

One such preparation was Ryan Jäger, who was conversing with his sister. [color=ed1c24]"I'm just saying, the R-201 is way better. It has higher range and really good accuracy." [/color] [color=00aeef]"Yeah, but the Spitfire has higher damage and more ammo."[/color] [color=ed1c24]"There's one thing we can agree on, which is that the best Anti-Titan is the..."[/color] [color=00aeef]"CH[/color][color=ed1c24]AR[/color][color=00aeef]GE[/color] [color=ed1c24]R[/color][color=00aeef]I[/color][color=ed1c24]F[/color][color=00aeef]L[/color][color=ed1c24]E[/color][color=00aeef]!"[/color] they proclaimed at the same time. There was a beat, then they both burst out laughing. [color=00aeef]"Hah, it's good to see neither of us has changed." [/color][color=ed1c24]"Well, good talk sis. Get some kills." [/color] They high fived and went off to their respective loading bays.

The comms crackled to life in the cockpits of all the Titans, containing a message from Commander Sarah Briggs. [color=00a651]"Alright, listen up. Special Operation 273, we're attacking an IMC base on Hades. Hopefully, this will put an end to the war in this sector. It was something similar to this that put Pilot Cooper in his Titan, so if you have any protégés, don't die. Good luck." [/color]And with that, the ship doors opened and the holding clamps let go. Suddenly, everyone was experiencing Titanfall from within the Titan. As everyone landed, they got to work starting to fight enemy Titans, the Tones deploying their shields, the Northstars hovering and sniping, and the Scorches filling the general area with thermite.
