Starsiege: Cardinal Spear Part 1/4 - A Spear in the Dark

This is the opening of Operation Cardinal Spear in the game Starsiege. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction. A desperate Trojan Horse gambit is made; using a commandeered Cybrid mothership, mankind's greatest heroes would strike at the heart of darkness, itself... The video opens with the cutscene of the Cybrids surrounding the human dropship, their ploy foiled. The humans launch in their drop pods, scattering all over the surface of Pluto. They have to make their way to one of their comrades: Grand Master Caanon Weathers, aka Icehawk, is stuck in his drop pod... Starsiege veterans may recognize the "skin" of my Apocalypse, most visibly seen at the end of the opening cutscene. A blue paint scheme wreathed in stylish flames of gold and orange, with the symbol of a longsword etched into the side of each shoulder, and the short form of my callsign emblazoned in metre-high golden letters on the front and sides of the side torsoes. Kudos to Steel Fire of the War Stories Writers' Guild for creating it for me, all those years ago.
