Raleigh Becket:
Point of view
Chapter 1
Well it's been 5 years and 6 months since i lost Yancy. It was really hard on me at first but it was made easier when i decided to quit the Jaeger program and help build the coastal wall but like always my life will never be so easy. It started out just like any other day, came to work got my ration card to go to the top of the wall and when i was done and putting up my gear i caught glimpse of a news report saying another Kaiju attacked but broke through the wall. I guess there's no point on building them now. Has we were all watching the news we heard a helicopter landing and deep down i just had a feeling it was for me. When it finally landed sure as anything the marshall stepped out. So i decided to walk up to him and find out what he wanted.
" marshall, you're looking good"
" becket, you're a hard man to find"
"You know me chasing the wall always looking for a job, you know got to eat"
"Can we talk?"
"Step into my office"
So with everyone watching i decided to take him into another area to talk without interruption.
"So what can i help you with marshall"
"Well pulled all my resources together found a Mach 3, you may know it, needs a pilot."
"I take it i wasn't your only choice"
"You were, all the other Mach 3 pilots are all dead"
"You know marshall i can't have someone in my head again, i was still connected to my brother when he died"
"Well the worlds coming to an end would you rather die here, or in a jaeger?"
well that got me thinking, the way he said it, i guess i would rather die in a jaeger then run and hiding, it's not in my blood for that. So we left for china. We get there and were greeted by one of the marshalls workers.
"Mr. becket, this is miko mori, one of my brightest"
"Mrs. mori"
I heard her whisper to him that i wasn't quit what she expected so i said.
"Better or worse"
boy i think she turned to shades of red on that one, so we headed to the elevator unfortunately we had to hold it for some of the marshals research team, boy the one in the glasses loves to talk.
"Mr. becket this is newt and herman, there part of our research team"
I noticed that he had some tattoos of some of the Kaijus on his arms so i decided to ask him about them, big mistake on my part. So as he was telling me about them he was also telling me about how he wants to see one up close and alive, i just looked at him like he was crazy. Thank god the elevator opened up just in time.
"You ready to see the bay"
"Sure"
wow, i can't believe the size of this bay, its huge, as I'm turning around to look at everything i notice this clock, now I'm curious.
"What's with the clock?"
"It's the war clock; we reset it after every attack"
"Whens the next attack"
"Where predicting within a week"
"That soon"
Wow, i still can't believe how big this place is, of course with my luck i almost get hit by one of their cars. Oh well
"This is Crimson Typhoon, it's piloted by the Wei Tang triplets, they use the thunder cloud formation to defeat against the Kaijus.
"Oh ya i heard about it, the triple arm technique"
" That beast over there is Cherno Alpha, its piloted by Sasha and Aleksis Kaidanovsky, it's one of the oldest ones still in working condition, when they were protecting the wall it remained un breached for 6 years, and this one is one of the last of the Mach 5's, Striker Eureka piloted by Chuck and Herc Hansen"
As we walk over there i see miss mori bending down then i noticed there's a dog here, how interesting i thought, i chuckle a bit and think well i guess the world is coming to an end the marshalls allowing animals here now...
"Herc, this is Raleigh Becket, Becket this Herc hansen"
"Yes we worked together before; it was a three man drop"
"Ya i remember, he sorry to hear about your brother"
"Thank you sir"
"Herc, you want to come with me, becket Miss mori will show you to your Jaeger"
"Miss mori will you give me a minute"
"Marshall you still haven't told me what I'm doing here"
"You and the other two are running point for striker"
"Point for what"
"Were going to drop a bomb on the breach with the equivalent of 10,000 pounds of TNT"
"Where did you get something like that at?"
"See the Russians over there they can get you anything you need"
I'm still in shock over the marshalls plan when mako asked if i wanted to see gipsy, so i nod my head and we go over to see her.
"Well here she is"
"Oh my god, Gipsy Danger, look at here she's beautiful"
"Well how do you like her becket, she's got all kind of upgrades now, including a fluid synapse system."
"Tando, god it's good to see you"
"It's good to see you to"
Wow, that was a complete shock seeing him here, but it's good to know at least one person around here. Makes everything a bit easier.
"Well what do you think? She's one of a kind now"
"She's always been one of a kind"
"Would you like me to show you to your room?"
"Sure"
