[ open ] Welcome to Chile, Cadets.

[supportadmin]

Characters: ALL.
Location: Valparaíso Shatterdome, Chile.
Date/Time: February 15th-28th.
Summary: The first shipment of recruits into the new Jaeger Academy program arrive. Some are staggered throughout the month, but they all have the same basic greeting. Here you are, there's where you sleep, here's what you wear, get going.
Additional Notes: See here for additional information. For information on the current weather, check out this link.

The Shatterdome didn't look futuristic, swatches of metal and concrete transforming a portion of the harbor into five enormous bays. Nevermind that only two were currently in use. The stark greys stand out against the colorful face of the city, a hulking monolith that's been carved into the face of the city that had once upon a century been termed the Jewel of the Pacific.

Note: Players are welcome to start their own interactions outside of the three main prompted scenarios. Go wild!

He isn't wrong. Andrea listens to what he says, but she continues to watch him, too. It's a driving need in man people she's met, regardless of them being in the cockpit of a Jaeger or in any of the invaluable support positions that made any of this happen. Different from the obsession observable in the cults that worshiped the Kaiju, but as thrumming and alive with that sense of conviction that something would end.

Andrea doesn't plan on letting it be the kaiju, but Eren says exactly what they've always known. "Not a new idea, but it's a problem the PPDC has been working on for the last six years. Do you know the PSI down in Challenger Deep?"

The question is rhetorical. Andrea provides the answer a moment after. "16,099 pound force per square-inch. We still don't know how the Kaiju can manage the change in pressures without imploding." What they lack is knowledge, and it's something they're constantly scrambling to acquire. With how quickly the Kaiju decomposed after death, learning anything from them came in spurts and fits of luck which weren't entirely fit to be called luck in the first place.

"What are the sorts of things you expect we'll need to move past wishful thinking, Cadet?"
