The blaring alarm startled the young man awake. He turned his head to view the holoscreen terminal on the wall near his bed. The screen displayed information sent in from scans.

[quote][code]KAIJU ALERT

CATEGORY: III

DESIGNATION: ACIDQUILL

PROJECTED COURSE: 21.3099° N, 157.8581° W (HONOLULU, HAWAII, UNITED STATES)[/code][/quote]

"Kind of a shame. Honolulu's such a beautiful place." A feminine voice came from the speaker beside the screen, before an avatar of a woman in a fox mask appeared on the holoscreen.

"It'll stay a nice vacation destination if we intercept this Kaiju early enough," Halsey said. He rolled out of bed and went to his closet, slipping out of his clothes and into the inner circuitry suit of his Drivesuit. Thanks to advances in technology since the Breach had been closed, the circuitry suit could be prepared without a team of technicians. "Besides, what does it matter to you, R.E.I.? You don't need vacations."

"Preservation of human life is one of the core concepts programmed into me," the AI replied dryly. "You, of all people, should know that."

"Yeah, I s'pose. Nobody else has been in my head more." Halsey felt a prickling sensation all over his body as the suit connected to his nervous system. "Well, you and that [i]thing[/i]."

"Well, without 'that thing' Titan Sierra wouldn't be functional. Then you'd be stuck dealing with another human, and I know how much you love that." Drake retrieved the datachip from the computer as he started towards the elevator to the Drivesuit Room.
