Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

The cockpit hissed, cool air flooding the confined space as I regained consciousness. My hands, with a disturbing familiarity, found their place on the controls of the LOADER 4. A voice, deep and resonant, cut through the quiet.
"Handler 'Walter' verified. Activating cerebral Coral control device. Augmented human C4-621 has awakened."
Memories were a luxury I couldn't afford. My purpose was now clear: the mission. I was on Rubicon 3, a planet scarred by war, its very atmosphere humming with the promise of conflict. Walter's voice, my only anchor, returned.
"Time to get to work, 621. I'm powering down your entry capsule. On my signal."
I felt the faint vibrations as the capsule began its descent. Outside, only the vast emptiness of space, then the reddish glow of atmospheric entry. This was my beginning, my rebirth into a world of metal and fire.
