#LAZARUS SYNDROME MANUAL#

'Ranger Becket's escape pod emerged from the Breach approximately two minutes after Ranger Mori's pod had already surfaced. I then buckled myself back into my harness and activated the ejection process.' Upon starting the sequence, I returned to my safety harness, while monitoring the shutdown of Gipsy Danger's noncritical systems to ensure the pilot ejection protocol remained active.

#LAZARUS SYNDROME MANUAL#

'Approximately one minute after launching Ranger Mori's escape pod, I released myself from my safety harness in order to access the manual switch to trigger the self-destruct sequence. The following is a statement by Ranger Becket, based on his recollection of what he experienced and documented to the best of his abilities: 'Due to the loss of communications with Gipsy Danger after entering the Breach, we lack exact times for the events subsequent to the ejection of Ranger Mori's escape pod. Then everything went white, and that's when Raleigh thinks he died. Jesus, I've still gotta do everything for you, don't I? His sad smile cut through the haze in Raleigh's vision. Like hell you can't, Yancy replied, and shook his head. 'I can't, Yance,' he'd said, or maybe just thought it because his lungs were burning from lack of oxygen, and everything was blurring together into a gray fuzz as he curled up on the deck and waited to lose consciousness. Get up, you son of a bitch! This ain't a suicide run! What the fuck are you doing?! he screamed through his helmet, grabbing Raleigh by the arm and shoving him towards the control arm that would load him into the remaining escape pod. He was still in the drivesuit he'd died in, for Christ's sake, clear as day, right next to him in the Conn-Pod - and he was pissed. Then - and this is the part that keeps him from telling anyone else what happened down there, because Raleigh was sure he'd be pegged as 100% bonafide crazypants - Yancy started yelling at him. He'd hit the switch, and part of his brain had whispered well, that's it then-at least Mako got out and he felt calm, so calm about the fact that he was going to die with the Jaeger that had once saved his life. He doesn't even remember activating his own pod the last thing he can fully recall is hitting the self destruct switch, and then.nothing.Īctually, that's not quite true. Raleigh's never told anyone, but he's pretty sure he died in his escape pod after nuking the Breach. Forgive me? Implied Raleigh x Mako, nonsexual deep and melancholy bro feels.
