Jane catched Maura in front of the quarter. „ Maura. What was all that about? I mean, I'm not crazy. You felt it right? We are Drift compatiple."

Maura looked at her long. „ Thank you for standing up for me. But … there is nothing to talk about. ", she wanted to go into her quarter and tugged at the door.

Jane smirked broadly. „ That's my room. "

Maura looked up and went down the stairs. „ Excuse me. "

Jane grabbed her forearm and pulled her to her . „ I mean, come on. I thought you want to be a pilot. Maura … this is worth fighting for. We don't have just to obey him. " In that moment Maura knew that Jane didn't know what she was talking about. „ It's not obedience, Miss Rizzoli … It's respect. "

Jane stared at Maura, the aloofness tugged at her strenght. „ Would you at least tell me what his problem is? "

Maura sighed and closed her door.

Jane took a deep breath and frowned.

Maura stood again at the peephole and felt like a voyeur but she couldn't help it. Her heart stopped when she saw Jane came up her stairs and sighed as Jane considered otherwise and dissappeared again. Maura sat down at her table and sank into her thoughts. She was sure that Jane something very special bound them. Had you asked her what she couldn't answer it. It was something that connected them not only as pilots. It was something that fate had predicted for both. The train of thoughts was incredulous by a knock. The hope that Jane would stand in front of the door came back unexpectedly. Maura took a deep breath and opened smiling the final barrier between her and Jane but the smile dissappeared immediately when she saw an uninvited guest.

Cavanaugh sighed and walked into the room. „ May I come in, Maura? "

Maura felt the question extremely confusing since he already stood in the room.

Cavanaugh unwrapped a red a red children's shoe. „ A long time ago … I made you a promise. ", he gave her that shoe. „ Get ready. "

Maura looked at him marveled and couldn't believe what she had heard.

Jane stood in the command center of Gipsy Danger and typed something. „ Setting harness for test mode. Waiting for second pilot. "

„ Two pilots onboard. ", the A.I. announced.

Jane was too lost in her train of thoughts. „ I take this side, if you don't mind. My left arm's kind of shot. "

„ Sure. ", said a all too familiar voice.

Jane looked surprised in the direction and smiled as she saw Maura in the black combat suit. Maura smiled slyly. „ Are you gonna say anything? "

Jane grinned and raised her eyebrows. „ No point. In five minutes you're gonna be inside my head … You look good. "

Maura blushed a little and smiled.

„ Pilots onboard and ready to connect. ", the A.I. said.

Cavanaugh looked at Tendo's screen. „ Prepare neural handshake. "

Tendo typed something. „ Initiating neural handshake. "

Jane flipped a switch. „ Okay. We're not in the simulator now, Maura. Remember, don't chase the rabbit. Random Access Brain Impulse Triggers. Memories. Just let them flow, don't latch on. Tune them out. Stay in the Drift. The Drift is silence. "

Maura nodded and took a deep breath.

Jane took a deep breath too.

„ Neural interface Drift initiated. ", the A.I. announced.

Maura closed her eyes and could see all the memories of Jane. Suddenly she heard a voice that probably belonged Jane's dead friend. „ Jane, listen to me! Jane, listen to me! " Maura's eyes shot open and she gasped.

„ Right hemisphere calibrated. ", the A.I. „ Left hemisphere calibrated. "

Jane looked first at her right and then at her left hand, Maura had no other choice and done the same, then both made a boxer position.

„ Ready to activate the Yaeger. ", the A.I. announced.

Tendo exhaled loudly. „ Okay, Gipsy. Lining up nicely. Better get ready. "

„ Pilot to Yaeger connection complete. " , said the A.I. .

Gottlieb run applied into the center. „ Marshal! Marshal! I need to talk to you. "

Cavanaugh sighed annoyed. „ Not now, Mr. Gottlieb. I'm sure you can appreciate how important this moment is to me. "

„ Newton created a neural bridge from garbage and Drifted with a Kaiju. "

Cavanaugh turned seriously to Gottlieb.

Gipsy Danger struck his left fist into his right palm and the audience in the hangar clapped their hands.

Korsak looked at Tendo's screen. „ Pretty impressive. "

„ Yeah, she remembers how to turn it on. ", Chuck grumbled.

Korsak looked at him warningly. „ Boy, show some respect. When her friend died, she got the Yaeger back to shore on her own. I've known one other pilot that's been able to do that."

Jane went back into fighting position when the A.I. was back. „ Calibation complete. Suddenly Jane saw Frost and was back in the memory „ The hull! It went through the hull! "

„ Jane, listen to me! You need … ", Frost said and dissappeared again.

Jane winced and gasped.

„ Pilot out of alignment. ", the A.I. warned

Tendo looked worried at the screen. „ Both out of alignment. "

„ Both of them? ", Korsak wanted to know.

„ Both of them, yeah. Gipsy! Gipsy! You're out of alignment! You are both of alignment.

Jane gasped and closed her eyes to compose herself again. „ I'm okay. Just … let me … control it. "

„ Out of alignment. ", the A.I. announced. „ Code red. "

„ You're stabilizing. Maura is way out. ", Tendo said over the radio.

Jane looked over to Maura. „ Maura! "

„ She's starting to chase the rabbit! "

Jane looked at the paralyzed Maura. „ Maura, don't get stuck in a memory. Stay with me. Stay in the now. Don't get engage in a memory. Maura. MAURA! LISTEN TO ME. MAURA?"

Maura walked in her combat suit through the streets of the spacious destroyed Boston. She looked down and held the red children's shoe in her hands. A little blond girl walked crying toward her. „ Mama! Mama!" The small Maura saw how fighter jets flew toward something and shot at it. The Kaiju destroyed the jets and discovered the girl. Small Maura began to run for her life during the monster pursued. She ran crying into an alley and hid behind a dumpster.

Jane s

walked slowly toward small Maura. „ Maura. This is just a memory. None of this is real. ", she winced as a bang and a roar was heard.

Big Maura held up her left hand and activated weapon system.

„ Weapon system engaged. ", the A.I. announced. „ Plasma cannon powering up. "

Tendo made big eyes. „ Oh, no."

Everyone in the hangar started to run as the plasma cannon booted up.

„ Weapon system engaged!" ,Tendo yelled. GO TO FAIL-SAFE!"

A technician looked at him. „ Fail-safe not responding. There's a problem with the neural blocker! Her connection's way too strong. "

„ Fully charged. ", the A.I. said.

„ MAURA!", Jane yelled frantically at her. „ Maura, listen to me. This is just a memory. None of this is real."

Tendo looked at the employees. „ EVERYBODY OUT OF HERE, NOW! EVERYBODY OUT OF HERE, NOW!"

The staff ran out in panic.

Korsak looked at his son, who tugged on a thick cable. „ The power line! The power line! Get the main power line! "

Cavanaugh came running into the center. „ Take them offline! TAKE THEM OFFLINE!"

Tendo pulled the plug. „ I just did. "

„ Weapon system disengaged. ", The A.I. said.

Jane watched as Maura slowly lowered her arm. „ Maura!", she pulled her helmet off, quickly ran to Maura and caught the fainted woman. She pulled Maura's helmet off and supported Maura as she came round. „ It's okay. It's okay. "
