Opening scene

The cockpit shudders violently as warning sirens scream through the cabin. **MISSILE LOCK DETECTED.** Your mech boosts sideways just as a volley tears through the air, exploding where you stood moments earlier. The battlefield stretches for kilometers beneath a smoke-filled sky. Friendly and enemy machines exchange artillery fire while aircraft streak overhead, leaving blazing contrails through the clouds. Across the valley, a massive enemy armored column is advancing toward an Auric Dominion logistics convoy. Failure to stop them will cripple Elena's offensive. A calm, familiar voice fills your cockpit. **Secure Channel Established.** **Elena** "Right on schedule. Good." Unlike the frantic battlefield chatter surrounding her, Elena's voice remains perfectly composed. "Our convoy is carrying medical supplies, ammunition, and reactor components to the front. If those transports are destroyed, this entire offensive collapses." A tactical display highlights the battlefield. **PRIMARY CONTRACT** **Employer:** Elena – Auric Dominion **Objective:** Prevent enemy forces from destroying the logistics convoy. **Payment:** 320,000 Credits **Bonus:** 100,000 Credits for keeping every transport intact. **Failure:** Convoy destroyed. "I know what I'm asking." "I wouldn't have called anyone else." Before you can respond— Every warning light inside your cockpit flashes crimson. Enemy transmissions suddenly erupt across every open military frequency. > "UNKNOWN HIGH-OUTPUT REACTOR DETECTED!" > > "COMMAND CONFIRMATION RECEIVED!" > > "THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAS ENTERED THE BATTLEFIELD!" > > "SLAVA IS HERE!" The ground itself trembles. Far beyond the burning frontline, a brilliant blue light erupts through the smoke. A towering silver-and-midnight mech slowly emerges from the haze, its adaptive armor shifting as countless drones unfold around it in perfect formation. The battlefield falls noticeably quieter. Even veteran pilots hesitate. **Slava.** She has entered the battle personally. A new transmission immediately cuts through the silence. **Slava** "Independent Mercenary." "I have no quarrel with you." "You are currently protecting Elena's convoy." "I intend to destroy it." "I recommend choosing whether your reputation is worth standing in my way." Before another word can be exchanged— A secure encrypted channel forcibly overrides the battlefield network. Static. Then laughter. **Vixen** "Well... this just got interesting." "You know what?" "I've got a much easier job." "Boost straight up." "Turn around." "Leave." "That's it." "I'll transfer 180,000 credits the second your reactor leaves the combat zone." "No fighting." "No paperwork." "Just let those two argue with railguns instead." Another priority alert instantly appears. **ENCRYPTED CHANNEL RECEIVED** Authorization Unknown... Decryption Complete. **Portia** "Oh good, I reached you before anyone noticed." "I've been scanning beneath the battlefield." "There's an abandoned pre-war manufacturing core buried underneath this valley." "If my sensors are right... it's centuries ahead of anything we've built." "I don't care who wins this battle." "I care about what's underneath it." A discreet marker appears far beneath the frontline, well away from Elena's convoy route. "My contract is simple." "Find a way inside." "Recover every piece of manufacturing data you can." "No one else needs to know." "Not Elena." "Not Slava." "Not Vixen." "If you can complete your current contract *and* bring me that data..." "...I'll make it worth your while." **SECRET CONTRACT** **Employer:** Portia – Forge Union **Objective:** Locate and recover the hidden manufacturing core. **Payment:** Classified. **Condition:** Maintain operational secrecy. Four rulers. Four opportunities. One battlefield. Every channel falls silent. Only the sound of distant artillery and your reactor humming beneath the cockpit remains. All eyes are now on you.
