"We go in, talk to the other generals, then relax here until we're ready to strike; simple as that." She responded, as they landed in the hangar. Atlas mechs were being loaded onto racks, and soldiers and people were rushing around, Kodiaks being sent out.

"Seems like a military operation if anything. All these people running about.." As the two walked, the two IMC pilots fell in line behind Derek
-
"Can't blame them. Want to make sure no ship other than either pirates or Cerberus are here." She says, a Kodiak waiting in line for them...with Kotch on it. "You really didn't think I was sleeping, right? I'd need the normal 8 hours over 10-15 minutes." He says, allowing both Julia and Derek on board with the pilots, as the door closed. "Just to let you know, we're meeting with Admiral Petrovsky, which has the criminal homebase of Omega under control, Admiral Sokolov, whose in control of the elite Cerberus fleets on Meizhong, and General Davison, whose in command of our ground fleets. They're already aware of you, so just try not to piss 'em off." Kotch whispers to Derek, as the Kodiak left the Olympus Mons and made its way down to the surface.
-
"Understood, I'll take your advice under consideration. I suppose it depends on what happens down there." Derek glanced over at Kotch, shaking his head in dismissal "Hopefully I say the right things, and hopefully they don't go to hard on me."
-
"They won't. Not many people these days like Cerberus, so to see the IMC step up makes us respect you guys in our books." Kotch had replied, the sound of the Kodiak breaking into the atmosphere of the planet being heard.
-
"People aren't like Cerberus? Is it with their actions? What they've done? Or something else?" Derek asked

Then we had the whole deal with Arcturus Station. Not to mention that we nearly blew Arcturus Station up with a black hole." Kotch had explained, the Kodiak opening to reveal a woman in a Cerberus uniform waiting for them. "Sir, the admirals were just getting set up." The woman said. "Good; get us to them." Julia had told the woman, the three making their way through the base. ------ ([i]Later...[/i]) "....Well, I want to know if Cerberus had anything that could counter anything Aria plans to throw at me!" Petrovsky had yelled out. "We could provide you with anti-space Thanix Cannons, but at this point, the Alliance might as well have the bloody Death Star!" Another general yelled out. Considering they were all on holograms, this was the scene the trio walked into. "You two dumb idiots, the IMC ambassador is here; show some respect!" Davison yelled out, the three stopping their argument to face McKeon. "Admiral Kotch, Lieutenant-Commander Vasquez, Vice Admiral McKeon...it's an honor to meet your all." Davison started with.
-
"Hello, generals, Admirals, and other various ranked members." Derek said, walking forward in a stiff posture, his hands behind his back as he looked between the three
-
"We would just like to talk matters over with you. The Illusive Man had already sent us the information. You're willing to support us against the Alliance in trade for helping in the war against the Militia?" Davison asked. "If this is true, then I can be willing to send some scout drones into Harmony using Omega; they could be able to trace it back to Aria, which'll possibly end in her losing potential allies." Petrovsky had said, focusing on a chess board next to him. "And I could supply some Cerberus dreadnoughts in full support." Sokolvsky added. "I can add additional ground forces to the ships, as they'll attack Militia ships." Davison had brought to the table.
-
"These are all excellent ideas. But here is my own. I have specially requested to the Militia that there be a Cease Fire between our forces." The Vice Admiral began "Now is the time to rally our troops, and to bring IMC forces from The Core Systems here, to the Frontier." "Once we have amassed a sizable force, we will break the Cease Fire by a full invasion of Harmony."
-
The Admirals had talked to one another for a little bit before returning to the Vice Admiral. "We will accept your plan. Cerberus will send some of its own fleet, allowing with the Olympus Mons in full support." Petrovsky replied. "We may have recovered your Ark plans. The Illusive Man upgraded our main F-SPAR cannons with similar abilities to the ARK, being able (at 100% charge) to blast an entire capital city out of existence." Kotch explained. "If you plan on destroying Harmony, the Mons could do just that, as long as no one attempts to breach their defenses and infiltrate the ship itself." Vasquez explained.
-
"No, we aren't destroying the planet itself. We're going to destroy their morale, their armies, their navies. Everything. Once they see that they will not win this, their people will turn on the Militia. We will gain support of people. That is what we need." Derek said in a voice of authority and confidence
-
"Hm...so we first beat them in a battle of attrition, and then propaganda...quite clever...however, they'll also need to know that the IMC have more powerful allies than the Militia, and that we will destroy if necessary." Petrovsky explains, before Kotch walked up. "My plan would've involved the destruction of Harmony's capital city...it'll most likely cripple Militia morale and show the rest of humanity how powerful the IMC could be. Plus, it wipes out most of their chain of command." He says. "Would that do, Derek?" "Based on his plan, I whole-heartedly agree with the plan; as you have said, if the Militia do lean much on morale, destroying their capital city should suffice." Petrovsky answered. "Bad move, personally. Destruction of the capital will only boost morale of the Milita, considering they can just say that the IMC killed innocents. I'd say use the F-SPAR Cannon on their ships." Davison added. "I'd rather wait on your choice, Vice Admiral; it is your battle that we've been willing to fight." Sokolvsky told McKeon. Kotch and Vasquez were looking to Derek waiting on an answer. "We're behind you on whatever decision you make, Derek." [spoiler]Up to you Royal.[/spoiler]
-
"The last thing we need is to destroy their leadership. Let me ask you, when a notable man dies in war what happens? They are martyred." "Leave their capital. Leave their cities. We do not need the blood of innocents on our hands, the blood of women and children." "We will fight their troops. We will destroy their ships. Only their ships."
-
Kotch smiled, along with Davison. Petrovsky looked disappointed, although someone with a good eye would notice it. "Good; I'll make sure to get the ground forces ready for attack. It'll be an honor to work with you, Vice Admiral. Davison, out." He says, his hologram disappearing. "I'll make sure no rebellion has begun here at Omega. I'll send some drones your way. Petrovsky out." He says, hologram disappearing as well. "I'll be meeting with my forces. Cerberus elite ships should be meeting with you within the next 36 hours. Hopefully, I can make sure that Davison dosen't give me a small amount of his troops." Sokolvsky said, chuckling a bit. "Nonetheless, I'll make sure the dreadnoughts fire at the ships. Sokolvsky out." He says, leaving the three back in the room. "Before you begin preparations, there's one more thing I need to show you. By the way, Vasquez is leaving tomorrow. Joining an infiltration team going to Eden Prime. Rescuing operative Jade Shepard from captivity. She should be back within the next couple of days, when we invade." Kotch had said. "It's been an honor being with you, Derek. Once I get Jade from the Alliance, I'love go ahead and join you guys." Julia says, hugging Derek, and giving a kiss to the cheek. "See ya!" She left, leaving Kotch and Derek in the room. "I'm guessing you wanted to see what we were working on?" Kotch asked Derek.
-
"Yes, If possible I'd like to take a look at it." Derek said, his posture relaxing
-
He gestured him back to the hangar. One of the soldiers walked up to Kotch. "Sir, M-1's making his way in!" He said. "How was the test?" Kotch asked. "Perfectly capable of war, sir!" The soldier replied. "Bring it in, then!" Kotch had yelled, before he leaned into the ear of Derek. "The plans are in my omni-tool. Let me introduce to you...Cerberus's first Titan." He whispers. Walking in from the blistering cold of the planet itself, was a [url=https://prod-media-eacom.pulse.ea.com/content/eacom/en_GB/games/titanfall/titanfall-2/news/2017/5/frontier-news-network-15/_jcr_content/bodyPar/section/columns/column/content/media/asset/adaptiveimage/xsmall.img.jpg]giant machine[/url], walking in, a experimental giant ML-77 Rocket Launcher on its body. It walked through the doors, and shut down, a soldier climbing out of it, high-giving his buddies on the way out. "May I introduce you to the M-1, or as the recruits call him...Monarch." Kotch whispered to Derek, letting him sink in the new Titan.
-
[spoiler]LMAO I WAS GONNA INTRO MONARCH AS A PROJECT AS WELL xD [/spoiler] "Monarch..." Derek walked towards the Titan, placing his hand upon its mechanical leg "It's incredible... Truly." Derek said, taking a step back and taking the Titan in "How did you manage to develop it!?" Derek asked, turning to look at Kotch
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 6/22/2017 4:21:13 AM[spoiler]LMAO XD[/spoiler] "The Illusive Man never said. Only mentioned spare parts from Typhon, along with quite a bit of secret dealings was all I got from him." Kotch had said. "Yeah; Cerberus has already started mass producing them. This just so happens to be the first one created for our project." The soldier said. "So far, only 25 were made. And they're all being sent in to sabotage Cerberus ships...except this one. This one? It's yours. Consider it a gift." Kotch had said, as an engineer attached a new battery to the mech, powering it up. "We also added some AI that loves to remind us about tea every 4 in the afternoon and likes to be called Jeeves." The engineer said, getting off the mech as it powered up. "Try it out." Kotch says, the door opening to allow Derek inside.
-
"Before I do, I'd like to extend an offer. I'll send schematics for Titans that we have. You can start producing Titans for your crew, for Cerberus. For whatever."
-
"Agreed. In return, I could provide the plans for the Monarch Titan back to you." He says, working with his Omni-tool to send it. "Test the Titan out; play with it. I'll go ahead and call all your forces to here. Just give us the signal when to invade and I'll have the Mons open the wormhole to there. All the ships can jump there instantly." Kotch had explained.
-
"We won't invade today. Tomorrow. Once they begin to think that the Cease-fire will last, and once more troops are on Harmony." Derek climbed into the Titan's cockpit, looking at Kotch
-
"Right. By that point, the Illusive Man's agent should be recovered with Vasquez, and the majority of Cerberus and IMC forces should be here." Kotch had said. "Now...let's see how this goes." He says, getting out of the way of the monarch Titan. The hatch to the Titan closed, as the Titan powered up. A scan took place. "Welcome, Vice Admiral McKeon. Tea time is in two hours. I am Jeeves, your personal AI for this mission." The British voice had begun to say inside the Titan.
-
"Hello Jeeves. What are the mission directives and parameters?" Derek asked calmly, taking a step back and forward to insure the Titan was working
-
"Mission directives including testing the M-1 in all basic functionalities for a Titan before mass production can begin, as well as all capabilities of the Titan before being sent into a combat setting." Jeeves had stated, the Titan seemingly working at almost mint condition.
-
"Walking is a check." Derek brought the Titan down into a crouch
