The next day, an aircraft arrives and Liwen Shao who is in charge of the drone Jaegers. And with her was Mako Mori, and Newton Geiszler, 2 old friends of Twilight and the others.

And they met with Marshal Quan, Jake, Nate and Twilight, Rainbow and Starlight.

"Ms. Shao. Marshal Quan." Quan greeted in Chinese. "It's an honor to meet you."

He then extends his hand.

And then Newton step in, and shook it for her.

"Sorry. She doesn't do the whole handshaking thing." Newton said. "Dr. Newton Geiszler, head of research and development for SHAO Industries. That's a firm grip you got there." He then turns to Shao. "Hand hard very shake."

"Gratitude for having us." Shao said.

"Ranger Lambert and I will get you set up ma'am." Quan said.

And then they begin to follow Quan. And Mako approached Jake, Twilight, Rainbow and Starlight.

"That's a much better look on you." Mako said gesturing Jake's uniform.

"I guess it's better than prison stripes." Jake said. "Barely."

Mako turns to Twilight, Starlight and Rainbow. "And it's a long time since we seen each other."

"Great seeing you too, Mako." Twilight said. "Say, how's Raleigh?"

"He's fine last time I checked." Mako said.

And then Newton chuckled and appeared. "I'm-I'm sorry. Is this him? It's gotta be him. Right? You're Stacker's kid. Hey! I'm Newt." He shakes Jake's hand. "I was a big fan of your fathers. Amazing speechwriter by the way. Do you ever hear where he canceled the apocalypse." He then turns to Twilight, Rainbow and Starlight. "Well I be, Twilight is that you? You've barely changed a bit."

"Nice seeing you again, Newton." Twilight said.

"Fancy new look on ya." Rainbow said glancing at his outfit.

"Thank you, I liked to look nice at work." Newton said.

And then, Hermann Gottlieb appeared.

"Newton." Hermann smiled.

"Hermann." Newton greeted his old friend.

"I was hoping you would be tagging along." Hermann said. "I could use your help in an experiment I'm working on."

A moment later, Hermann and Newton and Twilight were walking to his lab.

"This will only take a moment." Hermann said. "I know how busy you are." And they entered in his lab. "I don't want to impose, but..."

"Come on. You can't impose on me." Newton said. "I mean... We have been inside each others heads right? We saved the world. We've drifted with a Kaiju."

"Sure was crazy that you did that." Twilight said looking at a Knifehead figure.

"You know, if we hadn't yanked that intel right of Kaiju's brain, Raleigh would have never been able to close the breach." Newton said. "That was you and that was me. Technically more me, but can we make this quick, or..."

"Um, deployment." Hermann said.

"Huh?" Newton confused.

"Of Jaegers. Their deployment into battle it takes too much, you know the amount of damage a Kaiju can inflict before they even... Ah here." Hermann grabs a few sheets. "I think I found a solution." He hands the papers to Newton and Twilight looks at them.

"Hermann, you know I can never read your, uh... Oh, rocket thrusters? Huh." Newton said. "Yeah, no."

"What do you mean? I think it's sounds helpful." Twilight said.

"There's no fuel in the world with that kind of boost-to-mass ratio." Newton said.

"From this world." Hermann said and then moves over to a table.

And then brought a vial of a blue fluid like contains.

"No." Hermann said.

"What is that?" Twilight asked.

"I-Is that Kaiju blood?" Newton asked.

"Exactly." Hermann said.

And then they moved to the another room.

"I've discovered that Kaiju blood is highly reactive when it's combined with rare Earth elements." Hermman explained. "Cerium. Lanthanum, Gadolinium."

"I realized that." Newton said. "You can't be fooling around with stuff. You're gonna blow yourself up."

"No one knows more about Kaiju Morphology than you." Hermann said. "If you could just take a look."

"No, Hermann. I gotta stop you." Newton said. "Look, none of this matters. Once my boss's drones are approved, deployment time. This is not gonna be a non issue. Within a year buddy, we're gonna have drones everywhere."

"So you won't help me?" Hermann questioned.

"Look, why don't we talk about it over dinner at my place, okay?" Newton said. "You can finally meet Alice."

"I don't need a hot meal Newt." Hermann said. "What I need is a solution, to a specific problem."

And then Newton's watch went off. "Ah, that's me. Bud, I'm sorry. Duty calls. It's been nice catching up." He then heads out.

"Newton." Hermann holding him for a second from leaving as he turns. "I, uh,... I still get nightmares about what we saw when we drifted with that digusting Kaiju brain."

"Yeah. But it was hell of a rush, wasn't it?" Newton smirked.

And then a security guard enters the room.

"Dr, Geiszler. Time to go." He spoke in Chinese.

"Okay, okay." Newton assured in Chinese.

Soon, Newton was heading through the hall with Shao.

"You and Dr. Gottlieb were close, weren't close?" Shao asked. "During the war?"

"Oh, uh... We shared yeas okay-"

"Speak English. Your Mandarin makes you sound like an idiot."

"I know, I'm terrible." Newton said stilling working on speaking Chinese. " We shared a lab together."

"What were you and Dr. Gottlieb talking about?"

"Oh, some crazy idea about thruster pods on a Jaeger." Newton said.

"Unit Secretary General Mori makes her recommendation at the Council Summit, I can't afford a misstep. No more contact with him... until after the vote."

"Oh, the man is completely harmless." Newton assured.

Shao then said something in Chinese that Newton didn't make out.

"Uh, Okay." Newton said. "Could you say that again, and this time 80% slower?"

"I said, don't make me question your loyalty." Shao said in English. "Understand?"

"What's to question?" Newton chuckled.

And then he went silent from the look of his boss's face.

"Look, I barely talk to the guy anyway." Newton said.

"Then it won't be a problem." Shao said in Chinese. "And work on your Mandarin. I don't like to repeat myself. In any language."

She then made her way through the hall, and Newton stood there.

Later, Shao was giving a meeting about her Drone Jaegers.

"My drones are the next step in Jaeger Evolution." Shao explained as a hologram of a Jaeger Drone is shown. "The system I designed process in command through a quantum data core. This means that a single pilot can operate the drone remotely... from anywhere in the world. As soon as the council approves deployment, based on Secretary General Mori's final report... the days of struggling to find and train drift compatible pilots will be a thing in the past."

"And you think a bunch of desk jockeys are better than us?" Nate questioned.

"We are not here to shut you down." Shao said. "Cooperation between our programs has never been more vital. If there are any question?"

And soon, everyone starting talking as there voices overlapped.

"We are pilots, not a bunch of office workers." Said a ranger.

"And now we're shouting." Newton said. "There is no need to shout."

And soon, Jake begins to leave as Mako and Twilight followed.

The 3 made their through to the hanger.

"That was slick." Jake said. "So how long till they order the shutdown so I can go home?"

"I don't trust the tech." Mako said. "Not yet at least."

"How so?" Twilight asked.

"Oh. It looked pretty good to me." Jake said.

"Remote systems can be hacked or compromised." Mako said.

"You got the key vote right?" Jake asked. "So there you go, it's your decision."

"I wish I could just go ahead and approve them." Mako said. "Nearly half the counsel is backing Liwen. They aren't going to like my decision."

"Who cares what they like, and what they don't like?" Jake said. "I tell you what? I'm gonna go with you. For moral support. Plus I wanna get out of this place."

"I'm glad you offered, because I already requested Gipsy Avenger as honor guard at the counsel summit." Mako said.

"You know Gipsy is Nate's right." Jake said.

"His co-pilot works for Liwen now." Mako said. "He needs a new one."

"One that you know is drift compatible." Said Jake.

"I'm sure it's obvious." Twilight said.

Jake nodded. "Alright, I'll do it. I've got your back."

"Good." Twilight said.

"But I wanna be there when you tell Nate, cause I just want to see his face." Jake said. "He's gonna be so pissed." He then brought out his chin. "You see he's gonna stand there like "Yeah, I don't think you belong in a Jaeger, Jake. Get out of my Jaeger. I'm handsome and sassy."

Mako laughed a bit, and Twilight shook her head it funny.

"He is handsome and sassy." Jake said.

"Thank you, Jake." Mako said and placed a hand on his shoulder.

And the 3 turned to Gipsy Avenger.
