Well, congratulations! Your hard work has finally paid off. After studying your butt off for weeks, you've finally passed the final Pilot certification exam. Of course, every Pilot has a Titan, so a tech took you to pick your newly assigned Titan up from your local base/ship Titan bay... and that's how you ended up in a cramped workshop with a white Northstar.

Titans aren't really known for outliving their Pilots, but this one definitely has. The tech didn't give you any information about its prior user (or users...), but the modifications on it are enough to make its used state obvious, as is the fact that it both talks and refuses to shut up.

AL-1912: hey. AL-1912: are you done linking....... im BORED....

The massive mech leans over you, poking your shoulder with one finger.
