Detritus Pilots work for [[Detritus Disposal]] in the current timeline and replace the regular [[Artificial Pilot|AI pilots]].

Detritus Pilots work for [[Detritus Disposal]] in the current timeline. They may appear in any unoccupied mechs upon starting a new game.
   
 
==Personality==
 
==Personality==
Detritus pilots are cautious, careful (both due to their profession), and polite - they, like their CEO, believe in safety first and "disposing" of hazardous material (including Vek) safely vs. swiftly. They are more matter-of-fact and focus on metrics and results. "Haste makes waste" is a good Old Earth expression for explaining their slow, methodical approach.

Detritus pilots are cautious and careful (both due to their profession), as well as polite - they, like their CEO, believe in safety first and "disposing" of hazardous material (including Vek) safely vs. swiftly. They are more matter-of-fact than other generic pilots, and focus on metrics and results. "Haste makes waste" is a good Old Earth expression for explaining their slow, methodical approach.
   
==Pilot Names==
+
==Possible Names==
  +
Detritus Pilots' names are made up of a given name (male or female) as well as a surname, both of which are randomly selected from the list below:{{template:PilotNames}}
;Here's a list of given names and surnames of CorPilots encountered across all timelines
 
{{template:PilotNames}}
 
   
 
==Strategy==
 
==Strategy==
  +
Detritus Pilots come without special skills, and only get randomized passive abilities. Due to this limitation, they can easily be outclassed by Time Travelers you encounter during your playthrough. Regardless, in most situations, having a CorPilot is still better than having no pilot at all. If they're not necessary anymore, Detritus Pilots can be traded in for a [[Corporate Reputation]] point after clearing any of the islands.

Detritus Pilot is a pilot in Into the Breach.

Location[ | ]

Detritus Pilots work for Detritus Disposal in the current timeline. They may appear in any unoccupied mechs upon starting a new game.

Personality[ | ]

Detritus pilots are cautious and careful (both due to their profession), as well as polite - they, like their CEO, believe in safety first and "disposing" of hazardous material (including Vek) safely vs. swiftly. They are more matter-of-fact than other generic pilots, and focus on metrics and results. "Haste makes waste" is a good Old Earth expression for explaining their slow, methodical approach.

Possible Names[ | ]

Detritus Pilots' names are made up of a given name (male or female) as well as a surname, both of which are randomly selected from the list below:

Strategy[ | ]

Detritus Pilots come without special skills, and only get randomized passive abilities. Due to this limitation, they can easily be outclassed by Time Travelers you encounter during your playthrough. Regardless, in most situations, having a CorPilot is still better than having no pilot at all. If they're not necessary anymore, Detritus Pilots can be traded in for a Corporate Reputation point after clearing any of the islands.

Dialogue[ | ]

Category Event Description Content
Game States Gamestart This happens at the start of a new game "There's Detritus, before the catastrophe. Maybe we can apply my combat data to ridding these islands of the Vek contamination."
FTL_Found Happens on the island screen after finding the FTL pilot in a pod. "Craft has a pilot, but I can't decode what it's saying."
FTL_Start Happens after you start a new game with an FTL pilot. Only needed for Recruits "It appears this alien time traveler is going to lead the charge against the Vek."
* Gamestart_PostVictory Start of new game after winning "Time to rid these islands of the Vek contamination all over again.",

"I wonder if the Vek clean-up will be any easier the second time around...", "Attention, islands. This is #self_full, am transmitting data on beating the Vek to your systems now. We have a war to win... again."

Death_Revived If this unit is dead, but gets repaired "I just need to run some safety checks, and I'm back in the fight."
Death_Main If this unit dies. "Transmitting... last... combat metrics now.",

"Tell CEO Singh I did my best.", "Let my family in this timeline know I went out fighting."

Death_Response If another unit dies.

Use #main to say the dying unit's name.

"Detritus will see to it your sacrifice is not forgotten."
Death_Response_AI If another Mech dies but it doesn't have a pilot to die. "It's beyond repair; Detritus will see that it's disposed of safely.",

"It's not a complete loss - Detritus can still salvage the wreckage.",

* TimeTravel_Win Last thing pilot says before time traveling after a victory. "Now it's time to clean up a few more timelines...",

"This is where we part, #squad. And wherever you end up, say hello to me for me."

Gameover_Start Right when you lose "Grid engineers report a complete system failure.",

"Power levels are at zero."

Gameover_Response Response to above "We need to follow failure protocols - initiate the breach."
UI Barks Upgrade_PowerWeapon Turn on a new weapon. "Checking the safety on the weapon now.",

"Beginning system diagnostics.", "Weapon secure. Initializing now.", "Never saw something this advanced at Detritus.", "Is this safe?", "Has engineering run the proper checks on this?"

Upgrade_NoWeapon If you have no weapon powered. This plays every time you remove all weapons from the Pilot. "Will I be getting a replacement?",

"Are we expecting support in the field?", "If you're taking my weapon, please make sure it's stored safely.", "Have I been reassigned to relief efforts?"

Upgrade_PowerGeneric Diverting reactor power to either Health or Move (basic Mech stats, not a weapon). "Reactor power has been diverted... running safety checks now.",

"Reactor safety is within acceptable limits.", "Internal diagnostics are in the green.", "Sure glad it didn't decide to blow a gasket.", "Should we conserve power for safety protocols?"

Mid- Battle MissionStart Generic mission start "#main_second reporting in... safety checks complete, weapons online.",

"Let's secure the region, clean and by the numbers.", "All right, #squad, let's make this a clean sweep.", "Let's show these Vek how Detritus takes out the trash.", "It's garbage day... and here the Vek are, right on time.",

* Mission_ResetTurn Triggers after a turn reset "Nnnh... localized breaches make my head feel like it's in two places at once.",

"Ready to try this again?", "We ready to do this again?", "Let's do better this time.", "Everyone learn from last time?"

MissionEnd_Dead Generic mission end where enemies are all killed "100% success. That's the number CEO Singh likes to see.",

"Not a trace of Vek on biohazard scanners.", "Took out those Vek cleaner than an A.C.I.D. bath.", "A teleporter couldn't have eliminated the Vek better."

MissionEnd_Retreat Generic mission end when enemies retreat "We're still picking up surviving Vek fleeing the area... not ideal, but still a win for us.",

"Hate to leave those fleeing Vek unaccounted for, but we secured the region.", "Looks like we've got the Vek on the run."

MissionFinal_Start Plays at the start of the final mission "Deployment successful. We're out of Power Grid range, however."
MissionFinal_StartResponse Incoming power pylons "Confirming pylon drop on sensors."
MissionFinal_FallStart Plays at the start of the ground falling in the final mission
MissionFinal_FallResponse Plays once the ground shakes "Island's collapsing!"
MissionFinal_Pylons
MissionFinal_Bomb What's the plan? "It'd take a fleet of A.C.I.D. launchers to collapse this hive on itself... we can't do it alone."
MissionFinal_BombResponse Before dropping the bomb
MissionFinal_CaveStart Plays at the start of the final cave section (after MissionFinal_BombResponse) "Do whatever you can to keep the Vek from the bomb. It's our only chance!"
* MissionFinal_BombDestroyed When the bomb is destroyed, another one is dropped and the battle length is extended.
MissionFinal_BombArmed "Bomb activated!"
PodIncoming Pod is about to fall "We've picked up an unidentified object on sensors.",

"We've got a Time Pod about to impact the area.",

PodResponse Response to above "Be sure to follow safety protocols before opening that Pod.",

"Secure the Pod before the Vek dispose of it.", "We can try to secure the Pod now - or secure the area first.", "Region first, Pod recovery second."

PodCollected_Self Pod collected (by the pilot talking) "The Time Pod has been recovered safely.",

"All right, Time Pod's safely stored in cargo.", "Time Pod successfully recovered, commander."

PodDestroyed_Obs Pod destroyed (by anyone, including Vek, except the speaker) "We did our best to recover it safely.",

"Don't blame yourself. There was no projection a Pod would land here.", "Whoever designed those Pods, they need to make the hull stronger...", "A Time Pod surviving re-entry is useless if it drops into a battlefield."

Secret_DeviceSeen_Mountain Secret object was inside a mountain

Only needs 1 line per Pilot

"Picking up strange readings from the mountain rubble... no code my systems recognize."
Secret_DeviceSeen_Ice Secret object was under water after destroying ice

Only needs 1 line per Pilot

"Picking up strange readings from under the ice... no code my systems recognize."
Secret_DeviceUsed Only needs 1 line per Pilot "Uh, that thing lit up when I got near. Looks like it's transmitting... something."
Secret_Arriving Only needs 1 line per Pilot "We've got company... and it's not from around here."
Emerge_Detected Emerges are queued. "Seismic readings are reporting Vek burrowing to the surface.",

"If only we could dump A.C.I.D. on the emerging Vek..."

Emerge_Success Vek Emerges "Vek has surfaced. Follow combat protocols.",

"Vek confirmed. Targeting sensors recalibrated.", "Targeting systems have confirmed the Vek arrival."

Emerge_FailedMech Mech blocks Emerging Vek "Not sure how long I can hold this Vek, commander.",

"Keeping a lid on this Vek!", "Initiating Vek counter-emergence protocols!",

Emerge_FailedVek Vek Block Emerging Vek "They can't stop themselves from emerging... even when one of their own is above them.",

"Hull's almost gone!", "Hull integrity failing!", "Barely holding on here!",

Mech_Webbed Mech is webbed "Whatever that Vek's spraying, it's locked the servos.",

"I'm caught in its webs - I can't pull away!", "Detritus needs to find a counteragent to this adhesive!"

"Shield is engaged.", "A little extra safety never hurt...", "Don't mind some Pinnacle tech between me and the Vek..."

Mech_Repaired Mech uses repair. "Managed to patch some of the hull...",

"Readouts have stopped flashing red... for now.", "I've done what I can. Proper repairs will take time."

Pilot_Level_Self Pilot levels up (not necessarily max rank) "I'm receiving a commendation from Detritus on my performance.",

"A promotion? Looks like my anti-Vek efforts have paid off.", "Can't wait to share my training with other Detritus pilots."

"Mountain has been disposed of.",

MntDestroyed_Obs "Mountain is no longer an obstacle.",

"Mountain has been disposed of.",

MntDestroyed_Vek "At least it cleared some room for us.",

Bldg_Destroyed_Vek "The Vek will answer for this.",

"I won't let the Vek get away with this.",

"Looks like the building passed its safety inspection.", "Much respect to that building's engineer.",

Mission Specific Mission_Train_TrainStopped "The train is disabled, but #corp should be able to fix it.",

"Looks like #corp makes trains that can take a hit.", "The train's partially damaged, but not destroyed."

Archive Inc
Mission_Airstrike_Incoming "Archive air strike on the way!",

"We've got air support incoming, move to safety!", "Everyone, clear the strike zone!", "Got air support coming in fast!", "Looks like Archive is about to teach the Vek the value of air superiority..."

Mission_Tanks_Activated Both tanks survived to activation "Those Archive tanks don't look safe... but they're up and running.",

"Not sure what those tanks can do, but they're ready.", "Looks like those Archive relics are warmed up and ready to go.", "The tanks are active. Hope they did the proper safety checks..."
