Timeline Summary

On 16 June 2322, Narla Zedirov meets with Lieutenant Briggs Kiele about taking a "vacation" to space in a mech. She listens in on conversations in her head before taking off. She falls asleep in orbit for a few hours. Byariel Laroux, a new member of her corps, contacts her on the monitor, having been sent to collect her.

Four years later, on 6 June 2326, Narla undergoes a mission to attack the Provincial colony of New Albion. She and her squad of Jameson, Li, and Sanchez take off toward the colony. As they approach, they encounter the KJN-73, also known as Bucephalus. Byariel contacts them from the ship and orders their surrender. Narla refuses, ordering her team to hold out for a few minutes. A giant green mech takes them by surprise and damages Li's mech, forcing his retreat. However, it kills Li before he can get away. Narla discovers that the green mech is under the command of Yazath Grabl, the most elite pilot in the Lehk'zhulian army. Narla and her remaining teammates head attempt to return to the surface. Meanwhile, Shizhi Rui orders Byariel and his teammates William Stevesson and Roy Hunter to pursue and kill them, despite his personal reservations on the matter.

As Byariel's team approaches, Narla successfully tricks Stevesson, and kills him as her team gets out of the area. Roy heads after Jameson while Byariel takes on Narla. They enter the atmosphere over northeastern Dragonoa, and battle in freefall. Narla crashes into a mountain, and Byariel cripples her mech. He insults her and says he's killing her for her lineage, rather than because she's any real threat to the Federation. He reveals that his real name is Matteroque Le Creuneaçel, and that twenty years ago the Zedirovs ordered the execution of his adoptive parents. Saying he'll come for her brother Jyrid next, Byariel attacks Narla's cockpit, but stops as the nearby coastal city of Bangthorua erupts in a nuclear explosion, and he evacuates the area.

At the same time, Roy lands in Bangthorua and chases down Jameson. Jameson crashes into a wall, and his mech's reactor is damaged. Roy rescues the few Thuwadians he can, and gets away from the city as Jameson's mech vaporizes the city.

Narla awakens in extreme pain, and sends a text to Enos asking for help.


Notes

  • The mountain Narla crashed into is Fuckoff Mountain, also known as Mount Fyuxof.
