Wax on, wax off?
Characters: Mike Traceur and anyone who wants to come.
Location: The beach - and not for the reasons you think!
Date/Time: Saturday, March 29, between lunch and dinner.
Summary: Mike's kind of covertly spread the word - anybody having problems getting a certain element of Jaeger Bushido? Need a little less stressful place to practice? Without drill sergeants? Mike's holding informal practice sessions on the beach. No repayment required, except for maybe being willing to be a sounding board for his slowly-improving Spanish.
Additional Notes: No clue if this is something the officers would be against or not, but Mike's trying it anyway.
( Maybe it was a little telling that he was one of the few people on the beach fully dressed. )

Yancy logs are party logs get in here
Characters:Beckets and more Beckets. Also you guys if you want. Just keep your feet outta the ice cream, that's Yancy's job.
Location:In the city, at a pick up game of soccer in the park, then in a pub, then eventually back at the residential quarters.
Date/Time:Saturday March 15 all day (Cadets in the afternoon don't skip class guys!)
Summary:The Beckets are enjoying their down time, playing soccer and drinking with the locals. They don't call it a day until someone hurts themselves, and then they switch to movie night and keep laughing anyway. Being rockstars is pretty good.
Additional Notes:Med staff (and maybe other staff or Rangers) feel free to pop in and interrupt the movie, everyone else, first 3 threads or make a convenient excuse about getting lost. We also accept those. As usual you can make your own and tag around, Becket logs are party logs. Also be aware that Drifting has annoying after effects, so you can expect Yancy and Raleigh to be finishing each others' sentences and reading each others' minds a bit after last week's deployment. It'll wear off eventually, don't worry.

[ open ] titanic showdown: striker eureka and gypsy danger vs n guruvilu
Characters: ALL.
Location: LOCCENT & later http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Horn>Cape Horn.
Date/Time: March 7th & 8th.
Summary: The Shatterdome watches and responds to the double-kaiju attack at Cape Horn.
Additional Notes: Please refer back to the OOC post for specific questions!
Andrea called all Cadets into the back of LOCCENT to watch the proceedings of the fight with Nguruvilu. She left their management to Zhang and Contreras, leaving the Cadets standing at ease and on order to keep their voices down and observe.
They'd need to know how to work in this place and with these people, even if they never set foot in a Jaeger.
After the battle was finished, all available personnel was funneled off to assist in the clean-up efforts, alongside organized and local groups of Chileans who managed to get down to the Cape. Both Kaiju have been dragged on land to forestall heavy contamination of marine environments, but some spill over was inevitable. Containment and cleaning efforts would be both on land and by sea, running on quick timelines for those in K-Science who wanted to preserve samples of the Kaiju in time enough to be useful for study later on.
Welcome to the down and dirty side of fighting alien monsters, Cadets. Welcome to the gross and gritty side of your work, Shatterdome Staff.
We thank you for your dedication to humanity.

[ closed ] when kaiju with incomprehensible names attack
Characters: Herc & Chuck Hansen, Yancy & Raleigh Becket, Nguruvilu
Location: Cape of Good Hope, South America
Date/Time: March 7th, 0739 Chile Time Zone (UTC-04:00).
Summary: The Kaiju Nguruvilu comes to shallow waters at Cape Horn, looking to cross over into the Atlantic Ocean. Striker Eureka and Gypsy Danger are present to make sure that's not what goes down.
Additional Notes: Current tag order will be Kaiju -> Herc Hansen -> Chuck Hansen -> Kaiju -> Yancy Becket -> Raleigh Becket, and so forth. Any player may declare a "pass" on their round by informing the next person tag-order to skip over them for that round.
It was midway through the morning when Nguruvilu came within range of Striker Eureka and Gyspy Danger. The spotters and jumphawks were in air, watching the waters with a careful eye on fuel reserves as well.
Why the hell was that Kaiju all the way out here? The possibilities were technically endless, but a great deal were chilling to consider for long. Almost as chilling as the swimming form that rises up out of the depths, powerful limbs shooting the massive animal forward through the water. Nguruvilu was completely submerged until he was within a mile from shore. When it crested, alarmingly bright coloration down its face and sides marked it as a further oddity, feather-like protrusions shedding water when it reared back and screamed a challenge at the Jaegers.
They were in the way of where Nguruvilu wanted to go. Diving back beneath the waters, Nguruvilu's form was distorted under the sheer amount of water it was displacing on a pointed rush at one of the waiting Jaegers.
Helicopter pilots and crews called out to each other while LOCCENT read information directly to both Ranger pilot pairs. Andrea's voice came over the comms.
"Word's been handed down from Pentecost. Nguruvilu doesn't cross to the Atlantic. Understood?"
[ ooc note: If we can have Herc Hansen tag in first here, the top post will be the Kaiju's first "tag!" ]

[ open ] Valparaíso, Jewel of the Pacific
Characters: OPEN to all!
Location: The city of Valparaíso, Chile.
Date/Time: The first weekend of March (1st & 2nd).
Summary: The first group of Cadets are finally released on the city of Valparaíso. With a curious city wanting to meet them, both Cadets and Staff of the Shatterdome itself will find plenty of people willing and curious to hear what it is they're up to - not to mention complain about the unapologetic ugliness of the Shatterdome.
Additional Notes: Cadets are expected to be in uniform and represent the PPDC at it's best. For more information and any questions, please refer to this post in the OOC community.
Valparaíso is a city with an old reputation, struck hard by the Panama Canal back at its completion, and struggling and rising to a place of cultural prominence since. Nowadays it remains an important sea port along the Chilean coast, though not as busy as San Antonio, and has helped foster artistic communities and a wealth of Chilean culture well worth recognition and appreciation on its own.
For such a beautiful city, the Shatterdome is both an honor and an eyesore. The Cadets from the new program are a subject of gossip and fascination, novelty selling them in the short term in ways that weren't sustainable over time.
For those who hadn't been able to spend time outside looking over the city, Valparaíso provided all kinds of sights and hidden gems, from murals on stairs to a hundred plus year old tram that runs the hillsides, museums paying homage to the 16th Century roots of the city, to statues and architectural structures and beaches galore. Free from the industrial efficiency of the Shatterdome for a short time, where will the Cadets and Staff find themselves today? The possibilities might not be endless in actuality, but they were a far cry more varied than the last two weeks had been!

supportadmin2014-02-15 02:38 pm[ open ] Welcome to Chile, Cadets.
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!
