[Jake and Amara arrive at the Shatterdome via airship. They exit the airship.]

Jake Pentecost:
Yeah, look. I didn't have a choice.

Amara Namani:
I know, I get it. But why me? Why do they want me for the program?

Jake Pentecost:
You built and piloted your own Jaeger. These people like that kind of stuff.

Amara Namani:
Okay, so then why am I just a cadet and you get to be a ranger?

[Jake and Amara see Valor Omega walk by.]

Amara Namani:
Valor Omega. Oh, my God. That– That is Valor Omega.

[Two airships airlifting Scrapper appear.]

Amara Namani:
[Sees Scrapper being airlifted] Scrapper!

[The airships release the cables, causing Scrapper to land on the ground. Scrapper tilts forward and falls to the ground face-first.]

Amara Namani:
[Annoyed] Hey!

Nate Lambert:
[Approaches Jake and Amara] You gotta be kidding me. I didn't believe it when they told me you were inbound.

Jake Pentecost:
How you doing, Nate?

Nate Lambert:
It's Ranger Lambert.

Jake Pentecost:
Are you having a laugh?

Nate Lambert:
Well, this is a military base. You remember how that works, Ranger Pentecost.

[Amara turns to look at Jake, realizing who he is.]

Nate Lambert:
[To Amara] You must be Amara Namani.

Amara Namani:
[Turns to Nate] Yes, sir. Ranger, sir.

Nate Lambert:
Well, let's get you squared away. [Walks away] Oh, and, uh, try not to steal anything while you're here.

[Jake and Amara follow Nate.]

Amara Namani:
Did that haircut just call you Pentecost? As in "Badass Stacker Pentecost"? Pilot of Coyote Tango, hero of basically the whole world?

Jake Pentecost:
It's just a name.

Amara Namani:
Yeah, a really cool name.

[Jake, Amara, and Nate head across the hangar.]

Nate Lambert:
SIM training starts at 0600. You're late, you missed the day. You fall behind, you'll be on the next transport back to wherever they found you.

Amara Namani:
[Sees Titan Redeemer] That's Titan Redeemer! [Sees Bracer Phoenix] And Bracer Phoenix! She's a three-man rig! [Sees Saber Athena] Saber Athena! I love Saber Athena! She's the fastest Jaeger in the fleet. Did you know that?

Woman on PA:
Warning. Stand clear of lift.

Amara Namani:
Okay, so which one's yours?

Nate Lambert:
Gipsy.

[Jake and Amara turn to look at Gipsy Avenger.]

Amara Namani:
[To Nate] You pilot Gipsy Avenger?

Jules Reyes:
[Approaches Jake, Amara, and Nate] He used to, until his co-pilot got a better offer in the private sector. [Holds out her hand to Amara] Jules Reyes, J-Tech.

Amara Namani:
[Shakes Jules' hand] Amara, cadet.

[Jules turns to Jake and holds out her hand to him.]

Jake Pentecost:
[Shakes Jules' hand] Jake, ranger, apparently.

Jules Reyes:
Heard a lot about you, Pentecost.

Jake Pentecost:
Yeah?

Jules Reyes:
You know you still hold the record?

Amara Namani:
What record?

Jake Pentecost:
Shut up.

Jules Reyes:
So how'd they lure you back? I mean, it couldn't have been the pay, so–

Jake Pentecost:
Uh, yeah, it's a long story, but if you– if you want to talk about it, we can meet up–

Nate Lambert:
She's busy.

Jules Reyes:
[To Jake] Ranger. [Walks away]

Nate Lambert:
[To Jake] Eyes front, Pentecost.

[Jake, Amara, and Nate walk away.]

[The cadet quarters:
Suresh and Renata are sparring.]

Suresh Khuran:
[Gets punched by Renata] Come on, Renata, not the face!

Renata Gutierrez:
Sorry, man. [Slaps Suresh]

[As Suresh and Renata spar, Tahima and Ilya are playing a card game. Jinhai is doing sit ups on the edge of the bed, while Ryoichi, who is kneeling on Jinhai's legs on the top bunk, is reading a comic book.]

Tahima Shaheen:
I raise you, two shower chits.

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
[To Ilya] Fold, Ilya. You need all the showers you can get, man.

Ilya Zaslavsky:
[Turns to Jinhai, annoyed] I have a musk! [Turns back to Tahima] What you smell is musk.

Ryoichi Hatayama:
[Turns to see Jake, Amara, and Nate entering, to the cadets] Ranger on deck!

[The cadets get into formation.]

Nate Lambert:
Cadets– [Gestures to Amara] –this is Amara Namani. She'll be joining you in SIM training bright and early.

[Viktoriya glares at Amara.]

Nate Lambert:
[Gestures to Jake] This is Ranger Pentecost. He'll be helping me instruct you until I can find a new co-pilot to replace Ranger Burke. Anything you'd like to add?

[Pause.]

Jake Pentecost:
Nothing you wanna hear.

Nate Lambert:
[To Viktoriya] Malikova– [Gestures to Amara] –get Namani squared away and prepped for training.

Viktoriya Malikova:
Yes, sir!

Nate Lambert:
As you were.

[Jake and Nate leave. The cadets disperse.]

Ryoichi Hatayama:
[Excited] Pentecost. We're gonna be trained by a Pentecost!

Viktoriya Malikova:
So? Not like he was the one who died helping close the breach. [Goes to the Jaeger simulator] He's never even been in combat.

Amara Namani:
[Approaches Viktoriya] Uh, hey. So, where should I–?

Viktoriya Malikova:
Heard you built your own little Jaeger.

Amara Namani:
Yeah. Actually, Scrapper. I operated her, too, with this solo unit–

Viktoriya Malikova:
You want to put junk together, be a mechanic. Moyulan is for pilots. [Sits down]

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
[Approaches Amara] Hey, come on. I got you.

Amara Namani:
[Takes off her backpack and gives it to Jinhai. Jinhai takes it] Thanks. Um–

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
[Hangs Amara's backpack on his right shoulder] Jinhai. Ou-Yang Jinhai. So, you and Vik, already buddies, huh?

Amara Namani:
[Surprised] Vik?

Suresh Khuran:
It's short for Viktoriya, but you don't wanna call her that.

Amara Namani:
Yo, what's her problem?

Renata Gutierrez:
Took her three shots to pass the entrance test.

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
Yeah. Don't think she likes how you landed here.

Amara Namani:
Well, it's not my fault. Recruiters never come around back home.

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
Hey, know any Russian?

Amara Namani:
No.

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
I'll teach you some. Calms her down. Come on, let's get you squared away.

[Jake and Mako make their way down to the hangar.]

Jake Pentecost:
Well, that was slick. So how long until all this is shut down so I can go home?

Mako Mori:
I don't trust the tech. Not yet at least.

Jake Pentecost:
Well, it looks pretty good to me.

Mako Mori:
Remote systems can be hacked or compromised.

Jake Pentecost:
No, you've got the key vote, right? So there you go, it's your decision. [Goes to the handrails]

Mako Mori:
[Follows her brother to the handrails] I wish I could just go ahead and approve them. Nearly half the counsel is backing Liwen. They aren't going to like my decision.

Jake Pentecost:
Who cares what they like, and what they don't like? I tell you what? I'm gonna go with you. For moral support. Plus I wanna get out of this place.

Mako Mori:
I'm glad you offered, because I already requested Gipsy Avenger as honor guard at the Council Summit.

Jake Pentecost:
You know Gipsy's Nate's ride.

Mako Mori:
His co-pilot works for Liwen now. He needs a new one.

Jake Pentecost:
One that you already know is drift compatible. Alright. I'll do it. I got your back. But I wanna be there when you tell Nate, cause I just want to see his face. He's gonna be so pissed. He's just gonna stand there like– [Imitating Nate] "Yeah, I don't think you belong in a Jaeger, Jake. Get out of my Jaeger. I'm handsome and sexy." [Normal voice] He is handsome. He is sexy.

Mako Mori:
Thank you, Jake. [Puts her hand on Jake's back and pats it]

[Jake looks at his sister and smiles. They turn to stare at Gipsy Avenger.]

[Jake enters a room where Amara is trying and failing to drift with Sarah, a brain in a container.]

Amara Namani:
[Groans angrily] Come on, Sarah! Do something! You stupid brain thing! [Sees Jake] Hey.

Jake Pentecost:
Hey.

Amara Namani:
[Takes off her helmet] So, I'm not really good at– emotional stuff, but– I really am sorry about your sister. [Jake nods] Half-sister?

Jake Pentecost:
Yeah, her family died during the Onibaba attack. My dad took her in. She was my sister. My family.

Amara Namani:
Why are you out of your uniform?

Jake Pentecost:
Just had a lot in my mind after Sydney. Guess I just wanted to be comfortable.

Amara Namani:
Well, don't let Ranger Lambert see you in that. He might take the stick out of his butt and beat you with it.

Jake Pentecost:
I think I'm safe. It's wedged in there pretty tight.

[Amara chuckles.]

Jake Pentecost:
[Looks at Sarah in the container] So they're still using Sarah. [Taps the container]

Amara Namani:
Yeah. And I can't drift with her for some reason. All the other cadets have been training for years, and I just– hate feeling like the slow kid.

Jake Pentecost:
You gotta relax. Or you're just grinding gears. I'll help you out. [Activates the simulator]

Amara Namani:
Got it, coach.

Jake Pentecost:
Don't call me coach.

Amara Namani:
Alright, sensei.

Jake Pentecost:
Concentrate. [Flicks Amara's ear, then readies his helmet] You have to make a good connection. You can't do that if you're yappin' your gums.

[Jake and Amara put on their helmets.]

Jake Pentecost:
You ready?

Amara Namani:
Ready.

Jake Pentecost:
Alright. [Pushes a few buttons on the screen] Let's see if we're drift compatible.

[As Jake and Amara drift, memories from their past flash by.]

Jake Pentecost:
Stay focused, Amara. Remember, the stronger your connection, the better you fight. [Amara relaxes] That's it.

[Amara suddenly gets caught in a memory of her past.]

Jake Pentecost:
Amara! Don't hang on to the memory. Just let it flow right through you. Amara!

[The memory shows Amara, as a little girl, with her parents and brother at the Santa Monica Pier. Young Amara and her mother and brother gather for a family photo.]

Amara's father:
Amara, jump in there. Yeah, come on. Get together. Ready? One, two, cheese. [Clicks the camera, then takes out the photo from the camera] Got it. Wanna see? [Gives Young Amara the photo. Young Amara takes it] Wait a sec.

[Young Amara runs past Jake on her way to the edge of the pier to look at the photo.]

Jake Pentecost:
Amara. Amara, you have to let it go. Amara! Look, just listen to my voice! Amara!

[Young Amara looks at the photo when water droplets started coming down. She looks up to see Insurrector emerging from the water. Everyone at the pier runs for their lives as the Kaiju roars. Young Amara tries to run to her parents and brother, but Insurrector's breaks a gap of the pier as it walks, separating Young Amara from her parents and brother.]

Jake Pentecost:
Amara!

Young Amara Namani:
Daddy! Daddy!

Amara's father:
Amara! Come on, jump!

Jake Pentecost:
Amara! We need to break the drift!

Amara's father:
[Holds out his hand] Jump to me. Come on!

Young Amara Namani:
I'm scared!

Amara's father:
Baby. I will catch you! I promise. Come on!

Jake Pentecost:
Amara!

Amara's mother:
Amara, come on!

Amara's father:
Jump!

[Young Amara runs towards her parents and brother, but before she can jump to them, Insurrector's foot stomps right where Young Amara's parents and brother were standing, killing them all, as Young Amara looks on in sadness. The memory finally ends, returning Jake and Amara to the present day.]

Jake Pentecost:
[Takes off his helmet] Amara! Take it off! [Takes off Amara's helmet, then holds her head as she starts crying] Are you okay?

[Amara looks around and realizes that she is back in the present day.]

Amara Namani:
I was there. I felt it.

Jake Pentecost:
Yeah. I felt it too.

Nate Lambert:
[Over Jake's walkie-talkie] Jake, it's me. You there?

Jake Pentecost:
[Takes out his walkie-talkie and speaks into it] Yeah, I'm here.

Nate Lambert:
[Over Jake's walkie-talkie] Meet me in the lab right away. Marshal wants to see us.

Jake Pentecost:
[On his walkie-talkie] Alright. On my way. [Puts his hand on Amara's shoulder] You okay? [Amara nods]

[Making sure that Amara is okay, Jake heads out.]

[The cadet quarters:
Amara is watching footage of the fight in Sydney on a data pad.]

Amara Namani:
They're calling it Obsidian Fury. There's never been a rogue like this.

Meilin Gao:
News feeds said they are posting a dozen Jaegers at the memorial.

Suresh Khuran:
When I die, I want that many to send me off.

Renata Gutierrez:
Your pops gonna make you work with b*obs when you wash out.

Ilya Zaslavsky:
Jaegers do not show up when the boob guy does.

Amara Namani:
Wait, you dad works with b*obs?

Suresh Khuran:
[Sitting next to a chest that is open] He's a plastic surgeon. He doesn't just work with– [Closes the chest] I'm not gonna wash out. I'm gonna be a pilot.

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
Still, you die, man, they post one Jaeger at your funeral.

[Renata laughs.]

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
Maybe half a Jaeger.

[The cadets laugh.]

Viktoriya Malikova:
I heard that's where they found Amara, in half a Jaeger.

Amara Namani:
It was a whole Jaeger. [Puts down the data pad and stands up] It just wasn't very big– Viktoriya.

[Viktoriya gets down from her bunk and gets in Amara's face.]

Viktoriya Malikova:
Bigger is better.

Amara Namani:
[In Russian] Kiss my ass.

Viktoriya Malikova:
What did you say?

Amara Namani:
[In Russian] Kiss my ass. [In English, to Jinhai] Am I saying that right?

Ou-Yang Jinhai:
Yep.

[Viktoriya pulls Amara into a chokehold, causing the other cadets to try and stop them.]

Viktoriya Malikova:
I worked every day of my life to be here! You didn't do anything! You were just picked up off the street like garage!

[Amara elbows Viktoriya in the stomach. She quickly flips her over her shoulder onto the ground and locks her head between her legs.]

Amara Namani:
You know where I learned that? On the streets, you big dumb–

Ryoichi Hatayama:
Ranger on deck!

[The cadets get into formation. As Nate enters, Amara and Viktoriya scramble to their feet.]

Amara Namani:
She jumped me!

Viktoriya Malikova:
She doesn't belong here!

Nate Lambert:
I DON'T CARE! You know, when I first joined the Corp, I was just like you. Worse, I was nobody.

[Jake appears behind Nate.]

Nate Lambert:
But that woman we laid to rest today, Mako Mori. She said: Whoever you are, the minute you enter this program, you join a family. And no matter what they do– [Glances at Jake] –no matter how stupid they may act sometimes, you forgive them– [Turns to the cadets] –and you move on. So you start believing that, in here. And you'll start believing in a Jaeger.

Jules Reyes:
[Enters] Hey. Marshal's looking for you guys. Says Gottlieb found something.
