Pacific Rim Uprising2018

[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.
