The click of approaching boots on the concrete floor were distinct among the cacophony of noise in the hanger. As last minute repairs and welds were being made to the hull of the other ships, a figure walked beneath the showering sparks without a care, stepping over and ducking under the electrical wires and refueling pumps. The man moved quickly and with a purpose, the duffel bags he carried slung over his shoulders and a pair of large metal munitions crates held from their handles. A relic shotgun was also slung on a strap over his shoulder.<br/><br/>The man seemed enormous as he passed by the mechanics and engineers in the bay, standing at least a full head taller than each of them. His muscular build and effortless gait showed that the heavy gear he carried was hardly a challenge at all.

It looked like something that could be picked up at just about any used shipyard. The type of ship that collectors would use to break down for parts to keep their more valuable vessels in shape. Still, vessels like this one had their own strengths if handled by a competent crew. He wondered about the ship's name, as he had only received instructions to board the vessel waiting in this particular lot.

The state of Titan leadership made him sick...<br/><br/>Planting his feet at the bottom of the ramp and shrugging his shoulders to secure his slipping duffel bag, he looked up at Ebon with his face set in a determined and evaluating expression.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Name's Atlas...
