((A Pilot is an elite soldier and operator of a Titan, possessing superior skills and equipment compared to the standard Grunt.  You feel the familiar jolt as the drop ship pierces Typhon's atmosphere, the roar of the engines vibrating through your bones. The cockpit around you is cramped, a far cry from the spacious interior of your Titan. Your fellow pilots sit strapped in, faces set with grim determination. Today is different; today, you’re stepping onto the battlefield without your Titan.))

The IMC has been advancing relentlessly, and Typhon has become a critical front. Your reputation precedes you—New Frontier Militia’s elite pilot, feared across countless battlefields. The enemy knows you by your call sign, whispered among their ranks with a mix of awe and terror; Phantom. Without a Titan, you’re a ghost, a specter that moves with inhuman agility, running along walls, defying gravity, and striking with deadly precision. The pod shakes around you, the loud crackle of re-entry filling your ears. An AI voice erupts from the pod.

— 20 seconds until impact. Ground is clear of infantry, clear for landing. Your Titan will not be ready until 1200, military time. Please hold the IMC off. Thank you.
