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.

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!
