History
In the heart of the United Empire of Earth (UEE), amidst the orchestrated precision of military might and interstellar governance, there thrived an enigma, known solely by the codename “Pico.” This name signified more than an individual; it represented a paragon of covert operations, a guardian navigating the shadowy fringes of space and political intrigue. Pico was no ordinary operative; he led a clandestine team under direct orders from the UEE High Command, bridging the covert needs between the Army, Navy, and Marines. His existence, a ghostly passage through the annals of military lore, was a secret preserved for the sanctity of the UEE’s undisclosed battles, known only to the most elevated echelons of command.
The pivotal moment in Pico’s shadow-laden career, as well as his existence, emerged amid the icy embrace of microTech. A dire crisis took shape as the Nine Tails pirates, fueled by relentless greed and deep-seated malevolence, seized a UEE Reclaimer. This gargantuan vessel, once a symbol of industrial might, was sinisterly refitted into an instrument of cataclysm. The pirates, in a bold act of defiance, had stolen a cache of Colossus Bombs from UEE A2 Hercules Starlifters, war machines known for their devastating offensive capabilities.
These bombs, designed to deliver destruction on an unthinkable scale, were now clandestinely mounted within the Reclaimer’s core. The target of this floating fortress of doom was none other than New Babbage, the vibrant heart of innovation and community spirit. Positioned to be crashed deliberately into the city, the Reclaimer, laden with its stolen arsenal, posed a nightmarish threat. The mere thought of these Colossus Bombs being unleashed in a residential area was unimaginable, a scenario that could transform the bustling metropolis into a crater of silence and desolation at a moment’s notice.
Amid the imminent shadow of catastrophe, Pico, alongside a select few of his most trusted and skilled operatives, orchestrated a daring intervention. These operatives were chosen for their unparalleled skill and unshakeable loyalty. Together, they infiltrated the commandeered Reclaimer, confronting the peril within its metallic bowels. The skirmish that ensued was fierce, a testament not only to the physical prowess but also to the indomitable spirit of Pico and his team.
Confronted with the unfathomable decision that could determine the fate of New Babbage, Pico exhibited a leader’s resolve. With calculated precision and a heavy heart, he commandeered the vessel, steering it away from its deadly trajectory. His decision to divert the Reclaimer toward the now-famed Ghost Hollow was a monumental act of valor, saving countless innocent lives at the risk of his own and his team’s.
In the aftermath, the once menacing Reclaimer lies dormant in the silent embrace of Ghost Hollow. The Colossus Bombs, symbols of the potential apocalypse averted, were quickly recovered by the UEE, ensuring no further threat emanated from the wreckage. Yet, the scars of battle and the violent descent mark the hull, standing as a testament to the day’s events. This silent sentinel, surrounded by the encroaching forest, serves as a monumental tribute to Pico’s sacrifice and the bravery of his selected operatives, etching their story into the annals of history as guardians who stared into the abyss and did not falter.
Following this harrowing event, Pico was presumed dead. The UEE, in an effort to maintain face and deny the embarrassing breach of security, dismissed the incident as a tragic accident while smearing any mentions of piracy or internal theft. Whispered stories of Pico’s bravery were clandestinely shared among the citizens of New Babbage who, knowing the truth, honored their savior with the creation of Pico the Penguin plushies in 2902. These plushies, symbols of resilience, hope, and a covert nod to the heroism of Pico, found their way into the homes and offices of those who remembered, standing against the frost and silence for a truth unsung.
But legends, much like the stars, never truly fade. Rumors swirled across star systems of Pico’s survival, of shadows moving with purpose and a silent vigil kept over the innocent and oppressed. While the UEE continued to deny his existence, Pico, believed to be dead by the galaxy at large, was orchestrating a resurgence from the enigmatic depths of space. In 2953, leveraging his extensive experience and driven by the unresolved injustices of his past, Pico founded a new beacon of hope: Pico’s Task Force.
This new assembly was not just a continuation of Pico’s legacy; it was a testament to his evolving mission. Less shrouded in secrecy but equally dedicated to justice, Pico’s Task Force emerged as a collective of skilled individuals united under the ideals of their enigmatic founder. They pledged to aid those in need, to stand as shields against the darkness, all while navigating the blurred lines of law and morality in pursuit of a greater good.
Now, in the year 2954, Pico, older and shrouded in the veils of myth, operates from the shadows, his directives guiding the Task Force. His leadership, though indirect, shapes their missions, echoing the silent resolve and undying courage that once saved New Babbage. Pico’s Task Force operates in memory of Pico’s deeds, a constant reminder that in the vast, cold expanse of space, warmth and light can be found in the unity and purpose of those who dare to stand against the darkness.
