Josh stepped out of the chopper, his duffle bag in hand and back pack slung over his shoulder. He had just arrived to the Shatterdome, his days of slaving as a common laborer were over. He decided that being a pilot was his calling. "Come this way." yelled a man with large hearing protection over his ears, motioning for Joshua to follow him into the building and off the flight line. As they entered the double doors, Josh dropped the hood of his heavy jacket and extended has hand to the man. "Welcome to Fantasy Island." the man said with a laugh as he shook Josh's hand and lowered the head phones to around his neck. Josh smiled simply in response. "Ah, I use that line or every person who's never been here before, I suppose it really isn't that good." he noted, scratching his head after withdrawing his hand. 

"So you're here to be a Jaeger Pilot I hear. You have any experience or skills?" he asked, now leading them further down the hall. "I was born to be in a Jaeger, that's all you need to know." he stated, knowing that this man wasn't the guy who made the big decisions. "Ah, so mysterious type, aye. Well that's fine, Mako will be down to collect you shortly. For now you can wait in here." said the man while pointing into an open room with chairs that they just walked up to. He wandered off down the halls while Josh found a seat and sat down. He unzipped his outer jacket and pulled out a photograph from an inner pocket. It was a picture of him and his parents, the last picture he had of them. They were in training to be pilot's but their facility was hit by a Kaiju one year ago and it was that exact moment that Josh knew he must be a pilot to avenge them.
