Today--in my world--November 9, 2015 marks the one year anniversary of the birth of the Jaeger program. Happy First Birthday to Mark-1 Brawler Yukon.
And I really did not want to have to make this post on today, of all days, but I've put it off long enough.
Robotics Engineer and Jaeger pilot Mako Mori appears have been ported out.
[Here Newt thinks "I don't know how to do this in a personal sense. I've never been good with this and I've spent too many years with the PPDC. All I know is form letters. 'We regret to inform you...'"]
I hope she's gone home to kick some Kaiju ass.
[He includes a picture of Mako's beautiful model of (ironically the last Jaeger) Gipsy Danger 2.0. Newt and Hermann will be keeping this for her in the hope that she returns. Or to give to Raleigh or Pentecost, should they appear before she does. He's not sure if he selfishly hopes she returns, or is happy for her that she's gotten to go home.]
If there was anything in her possession that belonged to you and you would like it returned, please forward your request to either me or Dr. Gottlieb.
Thank you.
[If Newt has seemed a lot more subdued since the 7th, and in the next few days, this is the reason. It's frightening to think that someone he knows could disappear overnight. He really doesn't like to consider the implications. He's not great at expressing his feelings, nor were he and Mako especially close, but she was a valued member of their team, kind and caring, bright and capable; he respected her abilities. He's going to miss her quiet smiles and her calming presence.]

voice - i'm sorry
[Oh sorry, is your friend gone? 'Cause Church is definitely only paying attention to the picture]
Never be sorry. - text
Why? Interested in a Jaeger of your own?

[Those'd be way better than a tank. And probably 50x more likely to kill him.]

Jaegers. Yes, they are essentially 'fighting robots' as you so eloquently put it. Vastly complex machinery controlled by a pair of pilots to combat the largest threats our world has known. We built four generations of them, each one differing from the next and naturally, improving along the way. Pictured was Gipsy Danger, a restored Mark-3 with a nuclear core and armed with twin plasma cannons and newly customized chain swords, as adopted by Miss Mori herself.
[going to stop there before he rattles off a ton more technical details, you're welcome]
voice
Right, so kick-ass fighting robot with swords and guns. [Can you tell what he thinks is important] You guys building more or what?
voice
No. Not here. We may build models, but fully functioning Jaegers aren't a weapon I want to be responsible for handing over to a foreign government.
voice
Also you barely classify as military.] And hey, I doubt even a model of a giant fight-bot has anything over a tank with mood swings.
voice
[Mood swings? Uh. Safer not to ask perhaps]
She does lack functional weaponry, after all.
[And actual Jaegers would kick the shit out of everything so]
