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?"

[2]

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?

It's nice to have another pair of pilots from the US proper here. You guys used to be out of Alaska right? Not too far from the Yukon base if that's the case. You glad to get to a warmer climate or did you actually enjoy the cold up there?

It's the Jaeger! Incredible!

[You have a fanboy running around Gipsy Danger now.]

[Ever seen a mobile suit look starstruck? Well, you have now. While the red, oddly humanoid unit simply walks over and looks up at the Jaeger, something in its body language gives an oddly specific impression.

The mech stays there, looking up, while the fabric and artificial muscle at its front part and a hatch opens, a figure in a pilot suit stepping out and lowering herself on a descending ladder. The pilot removes her helmet as she approaches the pair, revealing a young redhead who, like her unit, is looking up at the Jaeger.]


Wow.

[What looks like a very large suit of power armor walks by Yancy with long strides. It turns slightly when noticing the Rubik cube, though, slowing down a bit but not stopping completely.]

TRY TO MAKE ONE SIDE WITH A COLOR CROSS FIRST.

[The voice that comes out with passing advice, though, is robotic and clearly synthesized. Okay, so maybe not power armor]

Woooaaah! That thing's enormous! It looks so cool though. Those sleek lines... looks like a beast!

[She had to see it to believe it. But holy cow... it's actually right there in front of her.]

A Jaeger... an actual Jaeger!

[Raleigh is not alone in the gym. A tall, lanky and honestly somewhat scrawny looking teenage girl is there training as well. He might remember the face from a rather awkward, embarrassing conference not too long ago.]

Excuse me, I need to get past to get to those weights.

[An Asagi is passing by, but stops.]

...Did someone trick you?

So this is one of Earth's famed Jaegers. A giant even by mecha standards, made to fight other giants.

Jesus, I've never seen one of these things in person before!

[She accepts a drink and opens it without taking her eyes off the Jaeger.]

You don't really appreciate how big it is until you get up close, do you?
