Summary
It was Newt’s fault, God love him.
Nobody had ever bothered testing the drift compatibility of Lieutenants Kazansky and Mitchell—callsigns Iceman and Maverick. The two of them had come up through Jaeger training together, graduated from the same class, and command had heard the stories. They’d read the disciplinary reports. They’d been informed that the two of them could do almost anything except cooperate with each other.
Which was a shame, since they both tested off the charts in practically every aspect of Jaeger pilot training. They were potentially two of the best Jaeger pilots in the world, but they couldn’t get along to save their lives.
Or, command worried, anyone else’s.
And that was what they were dealing with—saving lives. The whole world counted on the Jaeger program to push back the Kaiju threat. The robotic initiative stood between the monsters and the rest of the world. So they didn’t test Ice and Maverick. Why would they? If those two could actually see what each thought of the other, it would end in bloodshed. Neither of them might make it out alive.
At least, that was what command thought.
Until Newt.
