Her Triumphant Return (1 week later)

Start from the beginning
                                    

-"Pilot, you should investigate the facility and find any intel you can about its purpose. I would accompany you, but unfortunately my chassis is too large to fit through the opening. I will wait here and make sure this exit is safe." Ruby said.

-"Got it Ruby, sit tight." I said as I entered.

     I found a door to get inside and entered. Inside was a bit safer than outside. I made my way through a couple rooms, trying to find something of use until I saw something through the safety glass. Eden prisoners! From what I could see, there was at least 50 cells in this block, each one containing 2 people! I'd come back for them later. For now, I have a job to do. I kept going through rooms, I kept finding the same thing: prison blocks. I eventually found a documentation room and looked around. I found multiple records of prisoner profiles and medical history. Was this whole place just a prison?

-"Ruby, scan the facility again, Eden citizen lifeforms only." I said.

-"Scanning...there are currently 2 800 Eden citizens at this establishment." Ruby said.

-"I knew it, this place is a prison!"

-"We should return to Eden and find a way to free them."

-"Yeah, good idea."

     Just as I was about to start making my way to the exit, Ruby radioed again.

-"Pilot, my scanners are detecting that the count of Eden citizens is decreasing. I believe that Planeptune forces are executing prisoners as we speak. We may not have time to return and give this information to Anonydeath. We must free them ourselves." Ruby said.

-"Alright then, get ready to cover our escape Ruby." I said.

-"Understood."

     I got into the facility's TV systems and speaker systems. Thankfully, the prisoners had TV's in their cells. I was about to activate my connection when I started thinking to myself.

     Will be able to get out of here? What will I do if I'm given the circumstance where I must defend the prisoners? Do I favor myself over others or others over myself? I guess we'll find out. I patched into the system and hijacked the TV's and speakers.

-"Attention all Eden prisoners! My name in Nanuk and I'm getting you out of here. In a few moments I will open all cells, fight to escape and meet me at the barrier at the south-west of this facility." I opened every cell and heard the chaos outside. "Rise up above this oppression! Take back your freedom!" I yelled into the microphone before leaving.

     I ran outside to see prisoners already running towards the broken barrier. I started running there myself, using the walls to my advantage. People started to notice that I was the guy that was saving them.

-"Hey, look! That's the Pilot! He's getting us out of here!" A citizen said.

     I kept running until I saw Ruby holding off Planeptune forces at the barrier. I didn't embark but I helped hold off attackers as the citizens ran through the opening. After a while, I noticed that no one else was running towards us.

-"Ruby! Is that all of them?" I asked while firing.

-"My scans indicate that we evacuated 2 747 citizens, but I am not detecting any more Eden citizens within the facility. The rest must have been killed." Ruby said.

     I nodded to the Titan and we both ran out of the complex while detonating explosives planted at the exit. That seemed to stop their pursuit since they didn't have any air support. Once we were far enough away, Ruby and I were leading the pack of people back to Eden.
