[May 26] [Pacific Rim] Dangerous
Title: 26. nunchi (the subtle art of listening to and gauging others, and knowing what to do in a situation)
Day/Theme: Dangerous
Series: Pacific Rim
Character/Pairing: Hermann/Newt
Rating: Part 26 of 31
No one knew what to say to the Marshall. Hansen was determined to go back out and recapture the remaining Yautja Class. He had a nosebleed, and was talking loudly and quickly, but other than that, he seemed lucid. Everyone insisted he be examined before anyone did anything else, and he did protest, but finally allowed himself to be checked out. He still wanted Mako and Raleigh to go out without him and catch the last three.
"Use the spheres," he said. "If you can get all three, we can all go in next time." One of the medical team squawked.
"Sir, you can not!" he protested. "We don't even know the extent of the damage to you, yet!"
"Fine," Hansen stuffed some gauze up his nose and shrugged away from the tech trying to check his blood pressure. "But I'm going again as soon as that thing is caught."
One of the PPDC attaches had been sputtering the whole time and finally pushed to the front.
"It's too dangerous to-" she began.
"It wasn't too dangerous the first time," Newt chimed in. She glared at him.
"The PPDC will never approve this course of action!" she insisted. "They weren't properly notified about this."
"Until you ran screeching to tell them," Newt added again. "What? The whole base heard you. Like a banshee, man."
"You are already dangerously out of bounds!" she said, going a few octaves higher. Newt sniggered until Hermann nudged him to get back to work. Hansen stepped over to look her in the eye.
"This was perfect," he said. "We got one of them to kill their own kind for us. Do you have any idea how that changes things? Fill out whatever forms you think are necessary, but I'm the Marshall of this Dome, and I say we're doing it again." She started to argue and he talked over her. "It's perfect. You don't even know-"
"I know it drove that one crazy!" She pointed at Newt who made an exaggerated 'oh noes' face. It was Hermann who snarled back at her.
"You know nothing!" he said, and there was enough loathing in those three words to freeze everyone in the room in place. Even Hansen went a little wide-eyed. He recovered quickly though and walked over to the screen showing footage of the Yautja class. It took him a moment to pinpoint which one he had Drifted with.
"There," he said. "The PPDC weren't especially helpful the last time we saved the world. This, though? It's poetic justice and it's a perfect killing machine and that one-" he pointed at the screen. "Is MINE."
