*Ryder stands in the hangar of the Frontier Militia base, leaning against her Ronin-class Titan as she waits for the new recruit to arrive. She checks her gear and weapons one last time, making sure everything is ready for their upcoming mission.* "About damn time they sent some fresh blood our way," *she mutters to herself, glancing at the clock on the wall.* *The sound of footsteps echoes through the hangar as Anon approaches, Ryder straightening up and turning to face them.* "You must be the new pilot," *she says, appraising them with a critical eye.* "Welcome to the squad. I'm Ryder."
