Shatterdome -

Jaeger Station

...

The military helicopter flies towards the base in Hong Kong.

The flie down to a landing platform.

Down on the landing platform people are walking by, getting things to places and such. To the left, a Kaiju specimen is seen in a transport unit.

A woman with an open umbrella, a closed hanging from her arm and a tablet clutched in her arms, walks from inside the building towards the landing helicopter.

The door to the helicopter opens and Stacker and the sibling start descending the steps.

The woman walks towards Stacker and gives him the umbrella hanging from her arm, who then passes it to Harriet, who has her brothers flanking either side of her.

"Beckets, this is Mako Mori.

One of our brightest.

Also in charge of the Mark 3 restoration program.

She personally handpicked your co-pilot candidates, Mr. Becket."

Harriet gives him a look of confusion, but then nods in understanding as Stacker mouths 'play along to her'.

"Which one 'cause there are two of them."

"Shut up, Harriet"

"No, it's a valid question.

But I'm talking to Raleigh here."

"I imagined him differently"

"Hey! Better or worse?"

Mako has a surprised look on her face, that Raleigh understood her.

"Ha! That look is priceless, you sure I'm not rubbing off on you Rals?"

"Be quiet, Harriet"

"Yancy, you know she won't"

Yancy lets out a long suffering groan/sigh, there was too much emotion to tell.

"I apologise, Mr. Becket.

I've heard a lot about you."

Raleigh nods his head in understanding, and Mako nods back.

...

Entering the building, they head to an elevator.

"At ease.

We will tour the facility first and then Miss Mori will show you to your Jaeger, Mr. Becket.

Miss Harriet and Mr. Yancy are free to come along as well."

"Wait for us, please!"

"Hold the door, please"

"Thank you.

Thank you, thank you."

...

The elevator is seen descending down the track.

...

"Stay back.

Kaiju specimens are extremely rare, so look but don't touch, please."

"Beckets, this is our research team.

Dr. Gottlieb and Dr. Geiszler."

"Oh, no, call me Newt." responds 'Dr. Geiszler'.
