"Why did you bring her here?",Raleigh asked Tendo. With a little of furiousness in his voice.

Tendo sighed.

"When I look her up, I found out that she was with PPDC as well. She was a researcher as well. I asked Newton and Hermann if they probably ever heard of her. Hermann said that he is very fond of her, and suddenly Newton come up with the idea to bring her here to show her both of their research."

"If possible, I want her to be a hot and smart brunette."
"Where in the world are you going to find someone like that? You're imagining to much, Yancy."

"You can try to talk to her later. It's not that she is leaving soon.". Mako finally speaks her voice.
"Besides, you have Gypsy Danger's trial run soon."

Raleigh and Mako walked back with Raleigh still looked disturbed.

"She said she didn't know Yancy personally."
"Well, she probably really don't.", said Mako.
"But how did her name ended on Yancy's Rubik Cube?"

Yancy must've met her somewhere. But when and where ? Raleigh think hard and trying to recall anything from Yancy's past memories.

"I don't know. If Yancy knew her, you should knew her as well. You synced into his memories."
"That is the missing link here…."

It was dinnertime and the crew members of the Hong Kong Shatterdome gathered at the dining room. Raleigh and Mako walked through the tables and found Elsa sitting with Newton and Hermann. They routed their steps to the scientists' table.

"Miss Trancy.". Raleigh give a polite greeting.
"Hello there. Please drop the Miss, just call me Elsa." Elsa replied the greeting.

Raleigh and Mako put their trays on the table and seated themselves.

"I'm sorry about earlier today, if I scared you."
"No, it's okay. Please don't feel bad about it."

Mako observed the calm natured Elsa.

"I heard from Tendo that you're a researcher too Elsa."
"Gypsy Danger's new tech system was invented by Miss Trancy, and the tech team here is now developing it. You can try it at Gypsy Danger's next trial run.",Newton said excitedly.
"I planned to be present at Gypsy Danger's trial run. But then, Mister Tendo and Newton here wanted me earlier.",said Elsa.
"Have you piloted a Jaeger before, ...Elsa?",asked Mako.
"About the pilot thingy, I almost actually did. My piloting career ended after simulation test. The top brass think I do better in research and development."

Gypsy Danger's Trial Run

Gypsy Danger is all new, new here and new there. With new and more advanced specs. Now, Raleigh and Mako are stepping into the new Conn-Pod.

"So, how does it feel to step back in here again?", Raleigh asked Mako.
"I'm very excited."

The Loccent was busy and hectic again after a long time. With Herc, as Marshall now, observing everything.

"So, Raleigh and Mako, I hope you're not forgetting anything.",said Herc.
"No, Sir." Raleigh and Mako answered simultaneously.

Somebody stepped into the Conn-Pod. It was Elsa.

"Elsa. What are you doing here?"

Elsa stepped in, without any proper suit. That confused both Raleigh and Mako.

"I'm here in case anything turns bad and I have to manually override from here." Elsa answered.
"You know it's dangerous. Especially if you dropped.", Mako gave a warning.
"I hope no."
"Don't tell me you did this before?"
"More than you think. I know it's extreme and unusual. But just act like I'm not here."

Raleigh and Mako prepare as Elsa stands on the side of the Conn-Pod.

Everything was going smoothly after calibrating, when suddenly some electricity sparked inside the Conn-Pod and strikes Mako unconscious.

"What the hell happened?!",asked Herc furiously.

Gypsy Danger suddenly moved with all the brace still intact. Everyone ran and cleared the area near Gypsy Danger's hangar.

"Gypsy Danger, what is going on?!"

Raleigh cannot take over the control the Gypsy Danger and he doesn't know why.

"Mako? Mako? Mako?", Raleigh shouted to wake the unconscious Mako.

"Raleigh, hold me.", Elsa called Raleigh's name.

Raleigh pulled Elsa into his arms, to reach the control.

"Raleigh, eject Mako and Elsa out of there immediately!",said Tendo.
"No ! Wait!",Elsa shouted."There must be something wrong with the new Drift system. I'll debug it as soon as possible."

Elsa's fingers moved fast on the control keys. Doing something, that obviously cannot be handled by Raleigh.

"Gypsy Danger, you're pulling everything!"

Mako was suddenly ejected, then Elsa stepped in.

"What are you thinking?!"
"I'm taking over!",Elsa shouted.
"You aren't even on spinal clamps or relay gel !"
"I can!"
"We haven't even got out compatibility tested!"
"We can!"

Elsa shouted loudly, that everyone on the Loccent can hear her so clearly. She stared at Raleigh sharply, silenced him.

Elsa put the helmet on her. Then their minds sync.

Tendo and Herc watched from the Loccent as Gypsy Danger stopped moving and went back to her position.

Everybody sighed a relief, some equipment got damaged still. A movement from a Jaeger indoor caused a lot damage and much shock.

Raleigh threw his helmet away.

"You lied to me." Raleigh pressured every words of his.

Tendo and Herc was going to the hangar but stopped after they heard Raleigh's voice.

"You lied about not knowing Yancy."

Elsa took her helmet off. Then looked at the angry Raleigh.

"Yancy was on your memory. Yancy was all over your feelings. You're once in a relationship with Yancy. But you never appeared in Yancy's memory."

Mako that was ejected and awake now, joins the Loccent which seems to be tense in the middle of Raleigh and Elsa's conversation.

"Yes, I lied to you."
