Who is she?

The equation (Ch 5)

Hermann is seen writing an equation on a blackboard.

"Zero minus two."

Newt is seen dissecting the Kaiju specimens from earlier.
"XY minus two. R-E-Q...

In the beginning, the Kaiju attacks were spaced by 24 weeks."

Hermann climbs down from the ladder he was using to reach a higher part of the board.

"Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks."

He grabs his cane to move one of the boards to the side revealing another board with more equations underneath.

"The last one in Sydney was a week.

In four days we could be seeing a Kaiju every eight hours until they are coming every four minutes.

Marshal, we should witness a double event within seven days."

Hermann walks towards Stacker and Herc.

"Mr. Gottlieb, I'm to drop a 2,400 pound thermonuclear bomb,

I need more than a prediction."

"Well, uh, that's a problem then, because see, he actually can't give you more than a prediction."

Newt states while throwing a Kaiju entrail to a desk, which then slips off.

"No Kaiju entrails over my side of the room.

You know the rules."

Hermann complains while kicking the entrail back over the line.

"Every bloody day. It's incessant.,"

"Gents! On point."

"Numbers do not lie.

Politics and poetry, promises, these are lies.

Numbers are as close as we can get to the handwriting of God."

"What?"

"Would you give me a moment?

There will be a double event.

And then, shortly thereafter, three.

And then four..."

"And then we're dead.

I get it."

"Alas.

This is where the good news comes."

Hermann states while walking over to a hologram device.

"Here is our universe,

and here is theirs."

He draws a circle for each universe.

"And his is what we call "The Throat,"

the passage between the Breach and us."

He draws two lines between the two circles.

"We know that it's atomic in nature.

I predict that the increased traffic will force the Breach to stabilise and remain open long enough to get the device through"

Hermann grabs a replica of the bomb and drops it into the hologram Breach opening.

"And collapse its structure."

Motioning with his hands the hologram bomb explodes and destroys the Breach.

"Yeah, and that's where I gotta chime in because,

Really I wouldn't wanna go in there with that limited amount of information."
"Newton, don't embarrass yourself."

"Just hear me out for a second.

Give me a second.

Please.

Why do we judge the Kaiju on a category system?"

Hermann slams the off button to the hologram with his hand as he, Stacker, and Herc move over to where Newt is.

It's because each one is completely different from the next, right?

You see what I'm saying?

Like, one looks like a shark and one looks like a fish-"

"Dr. Geiszler. Just get to the point."

"Yes."

"The point is I don't think they're all completely different after all.

These are some samples I collected, all right?"

He moves a stan with a Kaiju sample on over next to him.

"Now, this one here was harvested in Sydney.

And this was harvested in manila.

Six years ago.

They have the same exact DNA.

They're clones."

"And this is the point where he goes completely crazy."

A part of a Kaiju brain is seen in a holding container.

"There's so much more to the Kaiju than we understand.

And we've really only scratched the surface.

This is a piece of a Kaiju's brain.

Now, unfortunately, it's damaged.

It's a little bit weak.

But it's still alive.

Now, I think I can tap into it using the same technology that allows the two Jaeger pilots to share a neural bridge.

Now, think about that.

I could tell you exactly how to get through the Breach yourselves."

"You're suggesting that we initiate a Drift with a Kaiju?"

"No, no. No, no.

Not like a whole Kaiju, you know, just a tiny piece of its brain."

"The neural surge would be too much for the human brain."

"I agree."

"I don't agree."

"Gottlieb, I'd like your data on my desk ASAP."

"Sir."

"No, but his is so-"

"Thank you, Newt."

"Guys, now, this is the most amazing thing-"

"Newton, I know that you're desperate to be right so you've not wasted your lie being a Kaiju groupie, but it's not going to work."

"It is going to work, Hermann.

And I'll tell you something else.

Fortune favours the brave, dude."

"You heard them.

They won't give you the equipment and even if they did, you'd kill yourself."

"Or I'd be a rockstar."
