Princess celestia was staring out one of the windows of her throne room daydreaming while her snobby nephew prince blue balls uh I mean blueblood who was serenading his aunt with reasons why he is better than the average commoner. “Auntie are you even paying attention” he asks with his supposed look of elegance (snobby).

“Hu yes, yes I am blueblood, please continue”  she says with a bored look on her face she looks back outside at the sky and sees a flash of light. huh probably just my mind playing tricks she thought but boy was she wrong.

Not several thousand miles above her a war was being fought between the IMC and the militia. The captain of the srs loki, mack rogers runs down the hall as the ship rocks to the left. He sprints through the doors into the titan drop bay “kit get into the instabase  pod with the others” he yells at his exodus class titan. “yes pilot” he says as mack sprints past him and puts his helmet on. He gets to the console as kt-0117 gets into the pod and over to his station and hooks up to it. “pilot what is going on?” kt-0117 asked as the harness clasp onto his chassy.

“We are losing this fight, I've evacuated the crew to the other ships and I’ve put the blade on a crash course for their dreadnought and put the reactor into overload, it should draw their attention so the rest of the militia can retreat. We are going to drop onto the planet below, hopefully there will be other survivors on the planet.” mack says as the red lights start to flash, “yah we got to go. He said as he climbs down the ladder and into the cockpit of the dropod. “Let's do this” he says as the clamps let go and they get pulled into the planet's gravity.

“warning we are entering unknown atmosphere, recommend leaving helmet on until proper atmospheric test can be conducted. Also I would like to note that with the detonation of the experimental reactor there will be a high chance of the space around the planets atmosphere becoming irradiated effectively trapping us on the surface” I hear kt-0117 tell me as I look for a good spot to land the pod. “Copy kit, this is going to be a rough landing so I think you need to shut down until I bring you back online, buddy” I tell him as I angle the pod to a clear plain with no life signs.

As I check the pods hull integrity a alarm starts to flash. I look up  I see a mountain with a city built off the side. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me” I say as I grab the controls and pull it hard to the left.

As the pod barely misses the city it scrapes along the mountain causing the left engines to be ripped clean of the pod. “Oh come on” I say as we start to drift right. As I near a small town I activate the rcs systems and pull up. The pod takes of the top of the big building in the center of the town. Just before I crashes into the forest I activate the parachutes and brace for impact. As I hit the ground with a boom I get launched through the window and land on the other side of some bushes. I here some yelling as the world turns to black.

I groan as I  open my eyes and move my hand to blot out the bright light. “Well look who's awake“ I look over towards the voice and find a young woman in a nurse uniform with light green hair and a horn below her cap. “I must have hit my head harder than I thought because I think I’m seeing things” I tell her, “know don’t be silly, you wait right there while I go get the doctor.” she tells me as she leaves the room.

I through the covers off me to see my underskin for my pilot gear rolled down to just above my waist. I get off the bed and roll up the underskin all the way back up and over my head. Then I look around the room and find my armor and weapons over on a table in the corner of the room. I walk to the table and put on the armor, then the strap my belt and holsters to my body. Once that stuff is secure I strap my personal cloak, and my advanced jump kit to my belt with some arc and frag grenades, then I cock and holster my CAR smg and my kraber-ap sniper rifle to my back, with my LG-97 Thunderbolt

And for last I place my a.i control band on my arm and put my helmet on. Once the HUD is online I move to the window and open It. “Ok kt, where are you” I say as I hear the door open. I dive out the window and land in a bush. I look around I climb into the tree and look at my hud. I see that my pod’s emergency beacon is active and in a thick forest that stretches on for miles.

“Well guess that was easier than I thought” I say looking at the forest before notice a red blep on my minimap coming right for me I activate my cloak and jump from the tree, loading one in the chamber, bring my rifle to bear and see a blue woman with hair the color of the rainbow around the age of twenty in shorts and a white tank top, covered by a blue jacket with yellow lightning bolts over it flying towards the branch I was on with a pillow. She puts the pillow down and lays on the branch looking around before pulling out some sort of adventure book. I look this woman shake my head before running from the bush and into the forest.

As I hit the treeline my cloak runs out and dive over a log before scanning my surroundings and pulling out my CAR and start running through the forest.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….................................
After four hours of running I come up to a cliff and holster my CAR and swing around kraber and scan the landscape looking for the pod before seeing a giant crater at the foot of the cliff. I smirk before jumping of the cliff and landing on the edge of the crater before sliding in to it. When I hit the bottom I look  at the pod before walking over to the left side and pulling on a handle, I reach into a side pouch and bring out a key before putting it into the slot and turn it cranking the em generator. Once the powers on I walk to the opposite side and put in the my activation code in the key pad.

Then after the code was recognised, some of the panels on the side move out of the way to reveal some doors, once through the doors the lights come on. I look around and find a big red button in the center of the room. I walk to the button and push it. Once I push it a floor panel moves and a cube comes up. I grab the cube and walk outside, I flip a switch and chuck the cube as far as I can. While the cube begins building my temporary base I turn to the pod and push some buttons on my sat com before 8 panels open on the side of the pods and my titans climb out of the pods and look at me.

“Well boys let's get to work”

captain's log march 29, 2257
so if you're reading this I'm probably dead so ya that sucks but what can you do the current plan is to check kt and the others for any damage while the instabase is finished building, after that probably salvage what I can from the pod before going to see if I can maybe make friends with the locals.
