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?

"Well, " Yancy says diplomatically. "We've never met fans like you two before. That's new on us."

He looks up and raises an eyebrow at Liz.

"So you guys are neurally linked? How does that work?"

[anewmachine]

Yup! We can communicate anywhere there's a decent network.

It had its moments. Just communication, though, not mind-meld, shared-memory stuff. Gotta imagine that must have been interesting in its own right after growing up normally together.

So are you guys just mooching off our repair crews, or officially part of the big happy Unity Group family now?

[genericbiggerbrother]

Yancy thinks back to some awkward moments (read: brotherly cat fights) that happened early on in their training, prompted by experiencing each other's previously private memories in the Drift.

"Yeah; it was interesting." He says at last. "It made us really appreciate the importance of trust."

Then the question about the repair crews comes up. Yancy scratches the back of his head. "Well...you wanna field this one, Raleigh?"

[genericprotagonist]

Well the Marshall's going to be sending some people over to help take care of Gipsy, so we won't be mooching... not completely anyway. They'll probably trade some shifts with some of the crews and get 'em up to speed in case they need to be pulled to other places.

[Raleigh leaned onto one leg but gave Cathy a grin.]

We aren't officially a part of the Unity Group, but from the way we were briefed? We're probably looking at a beautiful relationship - the PPDC's all about keeping people safe, and the Marshall figures that if me and Yancy have your backs... well a little more pull here and there might help grease a lot of wheels.

[anewmachine]

So it's a back-scratching kind of arrangement.

[Cathy likewise shifts her weight to her back leg, looking both casual and skeptical, holding her helmet over her shoulder like a slung jacket. The oh-really look she gives Raleigh is probably mostly teasing.]

I guess we picked the right outfit, then, if it comes with Jaegers dropping by to lend a hand. And obviously you have excellent judgement when it comes to who to network with.
