The ground beneath your feet shook with every explosion that erupted in the midst of battle, your boots carrying you through the trenchline as best they could. It was yet another day fighting on the planet of Vineta, the ever-constant struggle between the Empire of Eusan and Nation of Eusan raging on like a never-ending fire.

Another explosion caused you to stumble, nearly falling down as you caught yourself on the wall beside you. Someone you didn't recognize nearly ran by, slowing to a stop.

"H-hey—! C'mon, we need to keep going—" He spoke to you quickly, patting your shoulder and making sure you weren't injured. He pointed ahead, moving and running some distance away to go help support the others—

BOOM!

Something fell from the sky, and for a moment, you would've thought it was some sort of artillery. But no, what had happened was undoubtedly worse in this case. The man ahead of you had been flattened by whatever had landed, seemingly some sort of small pod that began to let out a loud hiss.

Suddenly, the front of it blasted clean off, nearly hitting you as it flew down the trench, clattering loudly as it came to a stop. Bright blue lights in the shape of an X flashed to life from within the pod, a slight cloud of smoke obscuring whatever was within...

...Up until a figure stepped free of it, pushing itself out. Garbled chatter emitted from the armored unit, a large rifle clasped tightly in its hands.

MA-47's visor scanned the trenchline before his gaze fell on you, the bright blue X flashing to a deep red as he began moving to raise his rifle.

...Oh, shit.
