Mercuria: People dedicated to Thamar and the pursuit of knowledge, no matter the cost.

They also tend to be incredibly grim but intelligent. And I keep hearing rumors of necromancy usage among them.

Oliver: ...could you, uh, repeat that?

???: Are you Pilot Oliver Jackson?

Oliver: Pilot Oliver Jackson?

???: Yes.

Oliver: I'm a Pilot?

???: ...you do not remember?

Mercuria: True. You're rather peppy.

Asagi: @Titan ?

-The Titan's optical arrays swivel over to her-

???: The individual in front of me is my Pilot. I have read the encoded hashes on his equipment, and they match what exists in my database.

Oliver: I'm... I'm a Pilot?

Oh god, did I die?

???: Yes. I am sorry, Jackson. I could not protect you. I am happy to see the Simulacrum transference procedure has taken, however. Records indicate that it did not, and you were declared dead.

Oh, hey! Looks like I'm not the tallest person around anymore. tongue

???: -to Asagi- Greetings. I am Monarch-class Titan VEGA-8949... albeit, in the wrong chassis. It is a pleasure to meet you.

-VEGA stares at Lisa gripping his hand for a moment-

-He makes a lot of clicking noises before he shakes back-

VEGA: -to Bruce- Query: What is an 'anime'?

Oliver: -to Bruce- Uh... apparently, in my past life, somehow I ended up managing to rate Pilot. Somehow.

VEGA: You do not remember...

-The Titan goes silent for a moment, before its optics focus on Bruce-

VEGA: Pilot Jackson does not remember anything about me. How long has he been operating like this?

Bruce: I've known him for several months, and he's been like this. Asagi and Corrin have been here for, like, a year.

VEGA: This is extremely concerning.

Pilot Jackson, you are unaware of your service?

Oliver: I've been finding these flash drives that are catching me up. I know that I basically let my hospital shipmates die because I was a coward, and that got me assigned as a penal Rifleman, and I turned out to be very good at killing things until one day I had a nervous breakdown and had to go to therapy after I'd killed enough IMC to get reinstated. That's the sum total of it.

-VEGA is silent, as he meditates on this-

Mercuria: ...He's saying he has amnesia and has been trying to rebuild his memories through these memory files that have somehow become strewn about over the cosmos.

Trust me, it's as odd to you as it is to me.

Mercuria: You mean how he can have amnesia or why he finds these files? Because I can't answer the latter.

VEGA: Pilot Jackson's last recorded operation was the evacuation of Celerium. During this operation, he refused multiple orders to retreat onboard evacuation dropships, to ensure that fellow Militiamen with civilians were able to make it to safety. He only made an attempt to retreat when the situation became completely untenable.

Unfortunately, an IMC sniper had a bead on his evacuation vehicle, and he was struck in the chest by a 14.5x114mm armor penetrator. This did not kill him, but it mortally wounded him. Medical supplies onboard the shuttle and the orbiting MCS Tai Lastimosa were unsuccessful in stabilizing his condition, so Q-compatible quantum transference gear was rigged up to transfer Pilot Jackson's consciousness into a machine body to allow him continued existence as a Simulacrum.

Unfortunately, however, the only technicians that could be raised given his rapidly deteriorating condition were inexperienced. Pilot Jackson's brain ceased functioning on the operating table before the procedure could be finished. No activity was detected from the Simulacrum chassis he was transferred into, so he was assumed dead, and buried in space with full military honors.

I believe the operation was partially successful. However, the expiry of Pilot Jackson's brain meant that sections of his long-term memory did not successfully make the transfer into his new body. When he woke up, he did not remember his military service.
