10/9/2006 Recruit - KSThrac

I had been tailing the enemy Titan in an APC making sure to stay out of view when I finally heard the alert that the enemy shields were down. Switching from the driver seat to a launch pod I rocketed myself up onto the enemy Titan and began my assault with a few other recruits who had made it on.

The defense was light and we made quick work of anyone standing in our way as we destroyed the 4 consoles and entered the main reactor room. Now, the Titan training video would have you believe that the main reactor is easy to destroy, but that thing took several clips of ammo and too many rockets to count before it finally blew.

Panic set in as I realized I only had a few seconds to get my butt off the ship. Recruits climbed over the top of each other trying to all get to the exit screaming "Go go go!" As I reached the back of the ship I realized that I had not yet figured out how to deploy my parachute, but not wanting to stay on an exploding ship I jumped anyway. Those that had jumped before me looked so happy floating gently to the earth as I went screaming by, mashing buttons all the way down. I said my last prayers and cratered as the enemy Titan exploded overhead. I consider it a small sacrafice to win a battle. I will write again soon.

Yours truly,
KSThrac
