Chapter 1
Steven narration: 2022. It's been 8 years since the war with SpaceGodzilla. After so long, everyone let their guard down, believing we had won. We were wrong. I was 17 years old during the first Kaiju attack. The monster was named Trespasser and was finally brought down with three nuclear missiles. 6 months later, Hundun hit Manila, then Kaiceph hit Cabo, then Scissure hit Sydney. After that, we knew we needed a defense. So, the world built giant war machines called Jaegers, based on the designs of the original, Gypsy Danger, which Connie designed. Two pilots were needed to handle the neural control of such a massive machine. Their minds, memories, thoughts and emotions linked together via the Drift. After me and Connie defeated SpaceGodzilla, we were set to be the first people to train new recruits. I was set up to continue piloting Gypsy while Connie worked on new Jaegers. One mission, my co-pilot was snagged by a Category 3 named Knifehead. The neural shock combined with continuing to pilot the Jaeger solo, was almost too much for me to handle. I quit the Pan Pacific Defense Corps, no longer wanting someone in my head. Over the next 6 years the Jaegers were winning. Killing Kaiju everywhere. They came out with more advanced Jaegers, but soon, it all changed...
