[ So there's a new guy on the base. Well, not new really, but apparently he's been decommissioned for some time (sound familiar?) and is making his way around. He was probably one of the first, didn't last very long in the field, fell into the ocean and that was that.

Well, until they dug up his body years later, and until they told him he was needed back on base. They promised he wouldn't have to do anything, train the recruits maybe, help with some strategy, but no combat. They said they won't strap him back in and make his partner realize what drowning feels like.

Silly Steve, he believed them.

So there he is, not really watching where he's going because it seems pretty empty in this hall, reading a language help book because if this is a permanent staple, he might as well learn a little Chinese. ]

[ Raleigh had heard there was someone else around the Shatterdome who was recently back in the game- a MK I pilot by the rumors. He was wondering if they would run into each other, he just didn't think it would be literally.

He rounded a corner a bit to fast, not really looking where he was going himself, and bam ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Oh! Instinctively, Steve raises his arms to steady Raleigh, not that he needs the help. ]

You alright, there?

[ It's alright, Steve wasn't really paying attention either... but seriously is his chest made of concrete? ]

[seeherheart]

I'm fine. Just feels like I ran into a wall is all. [ It really did, even if he says it jokingly. ]

You okay?

[pursuitofcappiness]

About as fine as a wall.

[ He cracks a smile and then holds out a hand ]

Steve Rogers. Just arrived last night.

[seeherheart]

[ There's a slight hesitation there. Rogers? That rings a bell, but he could have sworn that Steve Rogers was KIA-- obviously Raleigh's not privy to the classified stuff. He'll just chalk it up to bizarre coincidence until it's proven otherwise.

Finally he grins, and takes that offered hand in the firm shake. ]

Raleigh Becket. Pleasure.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Rogers is a pretty common name. Raleigh Becket, however. Steve's been briefed. ]

Your Jaeger's the Gipsy Danger, right? She's beautiful.

[ And super new technology for him. ]

[seeherheart]

Gipsy? [ His smile softens a little, going warm at the edges- he's proud of his old girl, even if there are painful memories attached ] Yeah, she's... she's one of a kind.

[pursuitofcappiness]

The last one of her kind, you mean.

[ He too, rode analogue, but they scrapped his jaeger a long time ago. Too much needed repairing. ]

She really is something.

[seeherheart]

All of these Jaegers are the last of their kind. [ Only four left, each a different generation of Jaeger tech. The last men standing. ] I didn't know it was this bad until I got here.

[pursuitofcappiness]

That, they didn't tell me. Well, looks like we've both got a lot of training to do.

[seeherheart]

[ Raleigh quirks a brow ] Mind telling me what you do around here?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Oh. I'm a pilot. A... new pilot. Or, uh, I might be.

[ Yeah, okay, that's clearly a lie. ]

[seeherheart]

[ Raleigh keeps that brow arched, crossing his arms over his chest. ]

Uh-huh. Now what are you really here for?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Sometimes, I ask myself the same thing.

[ Man come on, solidarity! He was dragged back into this life too. ]
