( pacific rim ) spoilers??

[littlebityeah]

Really. A whole world of language at your disposal and you -- you choose this. Well -- sure! Okay, yes, technically it does immortalize the single greatest feat of my life: proving Hermann wrong. Oh, and Drifting with a kaiju, I guess. -- That was -- that was a joke. I was -- okay. No, yeah, it's alright. Go team.

Listen, do you have any plans, or are we just winging it? 'Cuz you know how I love flying by the seat of my pants, but these pants are about ten minutes away from crashing into the closest semi-comfortable surface for a science coma like the world has never seen. And you know what? I hate sleeping. Naps? Total waste of time. But I'm gonna like it. Why not? I helped save the planet today.

... Okay, I'm too excited to sleep, but wherever I eventually crash, please make sure it's just not -- concrete. Or something that will kill me. Thanks.

Oh my god! Another one? Is there like... some tie-wearing, glasses-faced dork convention I wasn't informed about?

Plans are for losers, be tee dubs. They just end up going wrong anyway, why bother. Live a little, Dorkasaurus!

[littlebityeah]

See, no -- why would anyone complain about two of me? ... Why would anyone besides Hermann complain about two of me? For one thing, introductions are no longer necessary. For me. But I know who you are, anyway. So all of this - is - pointless. Okay.

Live a little? I just Vulcan'd an entire alien race; I am living so hard right now.

[onteamdyson]

Because one of you cramps my style enough and then add the fact that when you strip away all the science and aliens and speed-talk, you're eerily similar to Squishy, it's just a little overwhelming, okay?

Yeah... you should probably get that checked out? Maybe find your freaky, mathtacular lab partner and get him to brain-link kiss it all better.

[littlebityeah]

Y -- whoa, wow, that -- that's -- weird. Don't make it weird. Sure, we may have just literally smashed our minds together with a homemade Pons system and now know an uncomfortably large amount of one another's deepest secrets but ha ha, yeah, no, that's -- funny. Also not happening. Do -- do you need something?

[onteamdyson]

[Wow, rude! Frowny face initiate.] Not from you, space case. We're only talking because the lady upstairs is too burnt out to try something different. Deal with it. Hey... you ever tasted the merchandise? Got a little curious, had some tentacle sushi? Come on, you can tell me. Were they sour?

[littlebityeah]

[ Oh GOD how could you suggest such a thing? THIS LOOK OF DISTRESS IS MIGHTY ] Whoa, more like lethal! Kaiju blood is extremely corrosive, and their bodies give off massive amounts of toxic radiation for weeks after they've been taken down if they're not properly disposed of. Not to mention the fact that every single part of a dead kaiju is extremely valuable, and whatever would become of a -- a tongue tendril, or something, after making sure it won't kill the crap out of you would probably be so not worth it.

... There's ice cream that looks like Kaiju blood, though. That's pretty good. I -- I mean, off-putting, but I tried it. You know. For science. Not bad.

[onteamdyson]

[Woah, woah, woah. WAIT! WAIT A SECOND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN THE WORLD!]





... How extremely are we talking here?

[littlebityeah]

Wh -- uh, able to eat through the hull of a Jaeger in a matter of seconds? [ Wrong extremely, Newt. ]

[onteamdyson]

I mean the cashflow, genius! How many figures am I looking at for a toxic pile of alien goo?

[littlebityeah]

Well, lemme see -- none, now that they're all donezo and the Black Market's capo di tutti capi got devoured by a fetal mini-Otachi. Pretty soon anything circulating is gonna be gone for good, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. [ Mostly because he is going to grab as much of it as he can. ]

[highaboveyou]

Enjoying some laurels over there?

[littlebityeah]

Well, I'm not one to boast, but -- no, I'm lying, I totally am. Only accomplished a lifelong dream, right? And the world is safe. Not resting on them, mind you, but... draping over them. Temporarily. Maybe crying a little.

[highaboveyou]

[Okay, Keith was smirking by the time the other man was done.] Careful somebody doesn't water you as well as the plants. Besides, more sounds to me like you ... worked yourself out of a job.

[littlebityeah]

Are you kidding? With the amount of work my partner and I have contributed to the scientific community? Dude, I'm set. Think of all the things we can learn about manufacturing an entire species, now that we know where they came from. Or about life on other planets! My work here is faaaaaar from over. Or, y'know, maybe I'll start a band, who friggin' knows, right?

[highaboveyou]

A scientific community that is basically broke because mankind poured all of their resources into building giant robots and a huge, useless wall. Buddy, your world is in for hell. If I were you, I'd consider myself lucky if I got a hole in the wall apartment in tornado alley.

[littlebityeah]

Y -- well, I can't -- really speak to that right now. But other parts of the world are still functioning, and all the resources currently funding things that hopefully won't be necessary anymore will get redirected, right? We'll build ourselves back up. We're humans, that's how we roll.

Buuuut I'm not in that department, so I'm just gonna celebrate and worry about where I'll be sleeping for the rest of my life tomorrow.

[highaboveyou]

I'll buy you a pizza.

[Not much, but hey, celebrating, right? That almost always involved pizza, cake, ice cream, and way too much booze.]

[goingfishing]

So no waking up anyplace strange or unusual? Where's the fun in that?

[littlebityeah]

Oh, I don't know, maybe in not being subject to the whims of someone privy to sadism. I've heard of these places, man, they're horrorshows.

[goingfishing]

[Raleigh smiles a little sadly] ...Is it worse then riding on the back of a giant kaiju?

[littlebityeah]

Is it? Uh -- it probably isn't worse than getting personally hunted down by one, I will concede that.

[goingfishing]

[You have no one to blame for that but yourself buddy. Except you did save everyone.

Raleigh shrugs.] True.

Very true.

Very very true.

Wait I thought that was a dream come true for you man.

[littlebityeah]

Oh -- what, yeah, no, yeah, it was great. Amazing. Totally didn't make me reevaluate my dreams at all.

[goingfishing]

So I can blow them to pieces now?

[ownthisthing]

Perhaps if you spent more time in your own room, instead of the lab, you might not have to worry about that inevitable crash, Newton. [Like he's one to talk. Tight-lipped as ever, the underlying concern in his voice, along with his own exhaustion, is ignored.]
