Thinking about a Pacific Rim au where 141 are Jaeger Pilots and they’re all drift compatible with each other. Just some hardened soldiers who went from fighting terrorists one day to fighting kaiju. They’re tough, intimidating, keep to themselves, and don’t let rules of engagement hold them back because there are no war crimes when it some to fighting giant monsters from another dimension in an equally massive mech suit.
Except their world gets flipped on its axis the moment a new mechanic shows up on base. A quirky thing with a penchant for talking to the jaegers like they’re old friends and going off books as much as they do.
Doesn’t take long for the group of 4 to become a group of 5. And if others notice the softening of their edges and how they begin play things a little safer, no one dares mention it.
