Wouldn't have picked the two of them for Heroes...

Those who stop by the Sakihama Base's main hanger bay may notice a new addition to the mecha menagerie, techs repairing minor damage to it's back and right arm.

You may recognize the mecha in question– from the news, by reputation, or from your model kits: the Kaiju-slaying Jaeger, Gispy Danger!

At the base of the Mark III Jaeger, while welding sparks rain down over their heads, two brothers in matching bomber jackets clink their bottles of beer together.

Yancy Beckett looks up as you approach, and fishes out another bottle from the cooler. "Hey there! We were just celebrating our fifth battle; care to join us?"

Later on, you can see Yancy hanging out in one of the lounges, chewing on his lip as he works on a Rubix cube. Care to offer some advice?

Around the same time, you might run across Raleigh in the gym, sweat staining his tank-top as he runs through a set of staff forms, using martial arts techniques from all over the place. Surprise attack him?

"Darn right!" Yancy agrees. "How's the saying go? Ah yeah: Make a Monster to fight a Monster."

Yancy clinks his beer bottle against the blue armor plating of Gipsy Danger.

"So what's your name, kid? And do you pilot anything?"

"Garrod. Garrod Ran, and I've got a Gundam I guess I'm using over on another base. It's probably older than I am but..." He stares up at the Jaeger again.

"This probably took years longer, didn't it? It's huge. Hey wait, you fight those kaiju things, right? The huge monsters from the ocean? That's intense!"

"Nice to meet you, Garrod Ran." Yancy says. "And intense...yeah, you could call piloting a Jaeger intense."

He smiles. "But saving the world by punching the snot out of giant sea monsters...there's else nothing like it."

He nudges Garrod. "So do you fly your Gundam for anyone? An organization...or family or friends?"

Garrod takes in Yancy's story with rather great interest, as a kid, he's pretty impressed with it. Makes him wonder what the Sattelite Canon could do to a Kaiju?

"Oh, well... sort of, yeah. I guess if depends on who you ask. I'm supposed to do it for the UG now... Or whenever Captain Jamil says I'm supposed to but... I got it... I found it thanks to this girl." He's leaving out the parts where he also fires a giant laser because of a girl, and put her in the infirmary because of it.

"A girl, eh?" Yancy says with a grin. "She pretty?"

"Y-yeah... Definitely! Prettiest I've seen, ever!" Or as far as he's concerned. He doesn't really look at older women, on purpose.

"And a vibrant personality?" Yancy continues to pry.

"Ahh, well... she's been kind of... bedridden since we met. See this thing happened and... Well, let's just say using the big gun on my Gundam put a lot of strain on her." One he'd like to avoid again.
