An attempt to Lighten Things Up....

Shortly after the battle of Manilla, people get this message on the U.G. comm channel:

"Ranger Yancy Beckett here! To all those that helped hold the Miracle Mile at Manila, I just want to say, good work. I'm proud to have fought alongside you. And on that note...

Beckett raises a clenched fist. "We should try forming a social club! You know, to strengthen our bonds and all that!

So what do you think: should we set up a Kaiju-Slayers club, or a Motion-Capture Piloting club?"

And they sounds kinda exclusive...

"Well...you fought those freaky flesh monster zombies that came from the Black Domes." Yancy points out. "Aren't those pretty Kaiju-esque?"

[dolorous_sensei]

That's still pretty exclusive! Don't you think making these social clubs will only make a gap between pilots?

[genericbiggerbrother]

"That's strange." Yancy mutters to himself. "I wanted to start this club in order to build solidarity among our pilot roster."

He strokes his chin. "We need to crunch the numbers. How many pilots in the U.G. haven't gone on missions that involve fighting giant natural disaster-type beasts?"

[dolorous_sensei]

Not many, that's true. But I can only see this ending in two ways, and both bad.

[genericbiggerbrother]

"What's the first way you see this ending?"

[dolorous_sensei]

First of course, is that the base will be split up into two camps, those who have fought a kaiju, and those who never fought a kaiju. Those who never fought a kaiju will look at this elitist newfangled club with resentment, and there will be bad blood in the base.

"Okayyyyy......" Yancy says, looking at you sideways. "And the second way you see this ending?"

[dolorous_sensei]

Everyone would want to join this club, and because of that, everyone would race each others to fight kaijus everytime they appear! Kaiju-fighting would become the "in" thing to do for new pilots. Kaijus would defeated quick of course, but casualties will skyrocket!
