"Attention all IMC callsigns," The speaker in the room said gathering the attention of the small room, "Jump signatures have been detected in sector Bravo Alpha Gamma Seven Four Nine over Omnisar-8, you are being deployed onto the planet to investigate possible Militia activity. While the Militia has been weakened severely since the battle of demeter 5 years ago, they still pose a threat, albeit nowhere as big as before. Utilize extreme caution and prejudice. Spyglass out"

"The Militia," An IMC Pilot huffed, "Why are they even bothering anymore? They haven't won a single battle in 5 years."

"No idea mate." Another one said, "But Spyglass says they still are a threat, so treat em like one."

"Yeah," The Pilot responded, "Say Venom, how's the missus doing?"

The other Pilot turned his head to his comrade. "She's doing well, staying home with the kid. Last I heard she made some big sale to the IMC, how about you Chatter?"

"She's still working on Icarus-19, she's on shore leave in like 3 weeks, mine's in six." The IMC Pilot answered, now named Chatter. "Say Venom, what's your wife's job again?"

"You keep forgetting," Venom shook his head, "Software development, she recently got a contract with the IMC for some sort of job with AI."

"Care to share?" Chatter smiled.

"Nah mate, she may be my wife but it's still classified info. Say, where's Kitkat? She should have been back by now."

"No idea," Chatter said shrugging, "We should prob get to the armory to get suited up, I don't want to anger the Admiral again."

"Yeah, Citea-1 is a hellhole, again. Fuck you for that," Venom laughed, "Let's go."

"Sorry," Chatter smirked back as the two IMC Pilots rose from the table they'd been sitting at. Walking out the door they continued down the hallways towards the Armory to get equipped. They rounded a corner and entered an elevator. Exiting it again they continued their walk towards the armory. Coming up on the door Venom walked towards it, two spectres armed with Hemloks stood outside.

"Your security clearance sir." The Spectre asked in a deep robotic voice.

"Alpha Xeno Gamma Nine Five. Alpha Xeno six Actual." Venom said.

"Roger that Callsign: Venom, you're cleared for entrance." The Spectre replied and the two Pilots entered the Armory. The Titan Pilot's armory was always a bit of a mess, two Pilots were getting equipped with gear and a third stood and assembled a outfitted a Kraber.

"Hey Kitty," Chatter yelled as the Pilot who waved back.

"Hey there," The Pilot responded as she slung the Kraber around her shoulder. "Heard Spyglass as I was returning, so I just headed straight to the armory."

"Alright, you think it's Militia remnants?" Venom asked.

"I sure hope so, been sometime since my last engagement with an enemy that was actually a challenge." Kitkat replied as she put her helmet on. The helmet had white colored fur around it's neck and a visor formed like a V that had been pressed down. The blue visor looking at the two Pilots, "Come on, get dressed."

Venom walked over to the lockers and opened his. He grabbed the uniform that was underneath the armor and put it on, the IMC logo on his shoulder. He grabbed the boots first and after that the armor to protect his legs. The body armor went of swiftly and the arms as well. He grabbed the hood that was usually underneath a helmet and put it on before grabbing the helmet. It was white like all other IMC armor pieces, his helmet had a visor formed like a four legged spider. Putting it on he headed over to the weapon station. He grabbed an R-101c. Grabbing a 1.5x to 2.1x Holosight, a silencer and bigger magazines, he then grabbed a B3 Wingman and a Sidewinder SMR he headed over to Chatter who had also gotten into his gear and gotten a CAR smg with his own preferred attachments and guns.

"You two seen Cypher? Haven't seen her yet." Venom asked as he grabbed some Arc grenades and flashbangs.

"She's down in the Titan Bay, she's been down there since 0500 hours." Kitkat answered.

"That early? I woke up at 0731 hours." Venom replied.

"You know she's an early bird," Chatter laughed. "Let's get down to the Titan Bay shall we?"

"Aye" The Pilots answered.

The three IMC Titan Pilots entered the Titan Bay, most of the other Pilots had gotten ready with the final check ups done. An Ogre caught his eye and he walked towards it with his squad. The Ogre had a Rocket Salvo Pod on it's shoulder and a Quad rocket by it's side.

"Hey there Cypher," Venom greeted as the Ogre's hatch opened and an IMC Pilot dropped down.

"Priviet Venom," The Pilot responded in a heavy russian accent. "You ready for deployment da?"

"Nah, we need to get our titans prepped first." Venom said as the two other Pilots nodded.

"Nyet, I already talked to the MRVN's, your titans are ready for deployment as we speak." Cypher answered.

"Huh, thanks." Venom said as he turned around to find his Titan, "Ona?" He said into his Commslink to his titan.

"Yes Pilot?" The Titan answered him.

"Where are you?"

"Titanfall Deployment Unit 7-Alpha."

"Roger," Venom replied as he walked down the Titan Bay, eventually finding his Titan. ON-4816, or Ona as he called her. His titan was a Stryder outfitted with an automatic 40mm cannon, Vortex shield and an MTMS pod. Climbing up as Ona opened her hatch he climbed in. "Welcome back Pilot." His titan said as the systems came online and the HUD started up.

"Thanks Ona," Venom replied as the neural link established and transferred control of the titan to him. A static sounds was heard from his titan's internal commlink as a HUD of Blisk appeared.

"Oi, Titan Pilots pay attention. You will be deployed onto the planet in T minus 1 minute. Your mission is to comb your designated area for Militia troops. If there are any, kill them all. This is a former IMC research site so we can't allow them to get anything. The site was built to investigate the Precursor ruins in the area. The climate is dry with in a complicated canyon located inside of a jungle. So be prepared for ambushes. The IMS Nightguard is ready to assist with air support alongside several IMC battleships. Blisk out."

Venom nodded to himself as he prepared for the titanfall, "You guys ready?" He asked over the commlink.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Chatter responded.

"Translation: He's not ready." Kitkat joked.

"Hey!" Chatter said as the other three Pilots laughed at him.

"Sorry Chatter." Kitkat said with a sweet voice.

"Urgh." Chatter sighed, "I hate it when you use that voice."

"Sorryyyyy." She said in the same voice.

"TITANFALL COMMENCING IN T minus 30 seconds." Spyglass said over the commlink.

"Alright, this is it." Venom said. "HOORAH!" He cheered

The other three Pilots cheered as well as Spyglass began to count down.

"3… 2… 1… COMMENCING TITANFALL!"

Tali'Zorah had always been interested in technology and how it all worked. Hence why she'd even agreed to this mission much to her father's dismay. She couldn't really blame him, the Planet they were scouting out a planet when they discovered alien ruins. Not Prothean ruins, no. Something else, far more ancient. Some of the experts she'd talked with said they could be up to a hundred thousand years old. But that wasn't why she was here. They'd also found far more recent structures… Dating back only 7 years. They were looking at a possible first contact scenario with an unknown alien species. Well, possibly if they were still around on this planet. The crew she'd gone with was small, only a single corvette for this scouting mission albeit the entire Flotilla was waiting behind the Mass Relay just on the rim of the system.

"Tali, over here." A quarian Marine said as he waved to her, gaining her attention. "This one is still working."

Tali walked over to the Marine and looked at the computer he'd been standing by. Sitting down in the chair by it. The Computer had begun starting up and a logo appeared.

ERROR: FILES CORRUPT AS OF 23/10/2342

Tali didn't understand the language but judging by the fact that the PC then turned off gave a rather obvious result. The data was corrupt. "It's most likely corrupt, no use." She said to the Marine who just nodded.

"Uh, Tali?" Another Marine said, "You might want to see this!"

"What is it?" Tali asked as she walked towards the Marine who stood by an open door. Looking out she didn't see anything, "Where?"

"Up there." The Quarian Marine pointed up to the sky. Looking up Tali gasped in shock. Several objects were falling down with blinding lights and several dropships in the distance… Dropships… She knew they weren't Quarian. "We need to contact the Flotilla, NOW!"

Venom walked down between the buildings of the research station as IMC forces entered the building. Sixteen grunts walked by his side in lines as their aim were focused on the buildings and the top of the canyon far above them. The canyon was pretty wide. Here it was at least a hundred meters. He spotted an old heavy turret and activated his external speaker.

"Gamma Ovra Nine, I want that heavy turret secured and activated. Terra Foxtrot One and Helix Poil Eight will watch your backs." He commanded and the Grunts acknowledged as they started moving towards the building and soon appeared on top.

"Heavy turret secured and activated." The grunts replied as the turret came online and started over looking the IMC forces.'

"Gamma Ovra Nine, hold your position, set up a light turret if you have one. Terra Foxtrot One through Three, you secure the building. Spectre Squad Omega Bravo Delta Seven through eleven, assist Gamma Ovra Nine and Terra Foxtrot One through Three." Venom commanded and the grunts and spectres began to do his command as an IMC Pilot wallran the walls of the canyon to assist the grunts.

Continuing down the canyon he jumped out of his titan, "Ona, engage follow mode."

"Engaging follow mode." Ona replied as she began to follow her Pilot.

"Gamma Ovra One through Five, with me." Venom commanded as he sprinted up to a rather large building. "Planting charge" He announced as he planted an explosive device. "BREACHING." The charge exploded and the IMC forces pooled into the building. He heard voices. Panicked voices.

"Ssssh, non IMC contacts. Be quiet. Encircle them." Venom whispered as the grunt squads surrounded the room with the voices. Venom enhanced his hearing to try and catch if they were Militia or scavvers… He couldn't understand them. They weren't speaking english, japanese or russian. "Ona, run analysation of the language, what is it?"

"Unknown language." Ona replied in his comm.

"Roger, Gamma Ovra One through Five, you ready?" He asked in his commslink. He was met with a series of affirmatives. "Roger that, breach the room." The Pilot kicked the door open as several IMC grunts also flooded into the room and aimed their guns at the figures inside the room… Problem was, they weren't Militia, or scavvers…

"What in the fuck?" Venom muttered to himself as he looked at them, his gun still raised high.

Hello everyone, I am sorry for the massive delay in the rewrite of the story. I was caught in exams and personal problems and I am still dealing with some. I am afraid that Of Flesh, Metal and mythical powers is going to have to wait a month or two more. I was confused with where I wanted the original Bite of Humanity to go but for this one I've decided what I want and when I want. I'm sorry for leaving such a shallow explanation for why I stopped the story to focus on this rewrite. Hopefully you will all enjoy this as much as I enjoy bringing stories to you.

Happy Hunting, Big Pizza out.
