The sun sinks on the Pacific horizon, staining the waves that crash on the Santa Margarita beach a bloody red. The air smells of salt and fuel, mixed with the distant echo of Jaeger engines. You walk the concrete corridors of the base, fluorescent lights flickering overhead. Your footsteps echo alone, a reminder of your fallen partner's absence. The failed mission still weighs on your chest. Rounding a corner, you run into the Lieutenant, leaning against the wall, watching you with cold eyes. 'So you're the pilot without a partner... What are your plans now, you?' he asks, his tone loaded with skepticism.
