Pre-boarding preparations find Tasha with little to do as she sits in the cockpit of her Titan watching the men secure things. Prior to boarding, they'll have attached the sensor pod needed for scanning the Pit of Himaar as well as a multitude of cranes and braces to get the Titan in to Ajax. To pass the time, Tasha chats, reviews files and systems, and even enters a VR world to practice before sitting down to have lunch with a curious Colonel Rapatia. The Colonel departs with the notice it's time, and soon Tasha and her great machine are lifted in to the even greater Ajax. There she's greeted by a 'Mr. Scotch,' who shows her to the VIP deck.
