We will either rise or fall, but if we fall...know it won't be without a fight.
The world changed the moment the first kaiju stepped foot on planet Earth. Some people would say it changed for the worse, but I think in a way it changed for the better...

"There she is," Mako spoke, leading Raleigh to an opening where the two could see the Jaeger.
"Oh, my god," Raleigh said out of amazement. "Look at her. Gipsy Danger. God, it's so beautiful. She looks like new."
"Better than new," Mako spoke. "She has a double-core nuclear reactor. She's one of a kind now."
"She always was."
"How do you like your ride, Becket boy?" Tendo asked, walking up to the duo. "Solid iron hull, no alloys. Forty engine blocks per muscle strand. Hyper-torque driver for every limb and a new fluid synapse system. Come here."
The two men hugged each other.
"Tendo. It's good to see you, buddy."
"It's good to see you too, brother. It's just like old times. I'm surprised you have yet to ask about that one."
Tendo pointed to another Jaeger.
"Honestly, I didn't see it till now."
"That's Alpha Black. First ever single pilot Jaeger of its generation. It's the first and only Mark 6. It was completed prior to the program shut down. Supposedly it's the fastest Jaeger built, faster than Striker, and that's saying something."
"Who's its pilot?"
"Ranger Maki."
"Maki?" Raleigh questioned.
"She has no last name," Mako responded.

Making it to Raleigh's designated room, the pair began a small conversation out front.
"So, what's your story? Restoring old Jaegers, showing has-beens like me around. That can't be it. You a pilot?"
"No," Mako replied.
"Not yet she isn't," a new voice cut in.
The duo stopped as the third caught up to them.
"Raleigh Becket," Raleigh stuck his hand out.
"Maki, pleasure to meet the pilot of Gipsy Danger."
