In-Game History

Candidate Bash

The infamous Pilot Candidate Orientation, lead by the Director of Candidate Affairs, Roman Rosales. It started out as a normal orientation until one of the accompanying Pilots, Dyerlich, struck a candidate named Val Mynatt. Val talked back, and so Roman made an example of Val, giving him the choice to strip down in front of his fellow candidates--or suffer worse consequences. It was a test of obedience and subordination and a way to reinforce the idea that, as Pilots, you are often ordered to do things you do not want to do--but the consequences of failing to do so can be brutal.

Val refused. Very rudely and inappropriately.

So Val earned the more severe consequence: crippling, which was both literal and symbolic, a way to shatter Val's illusions. Val's roommate, Col Savage, was forced to pin Val to the front desk while Roman crushed Val's leg with a sledgehammer.

As Val was rushed to the infirmary afterwards, the orientation continued on as normal, much to the horror of all the candidates present.

Pie or Death?

While Temple Rosales was out in the wastelands, trouble struck. His dragon, Providence, was hit by an EMP attack that killed him instantly. He fell, rider still attached, and Temple was severely injured in the crash. He was ultimately discovered by a Teinari soldier, Cyrus Amadori, who dragged him into Teinar.

Temple's brother, Roman, arrived on the scene sometime later and after examining Providence's body, discovered an EMP device on him that could have only been planted by another Pilot.

The news quickly reached Aedolis and, assuming this was an act of treachery, the dragons ordered all Pilots to report to the Axis Point for screening. It was tough and took a toll on them, and the news of Temple's supposed death shook some of them, so to deal with it, commiserate, and recover, a group of them gathered at Gabriel Tierney's apartment for some pie, cooked by Roman.
