Throughout Emmett's simulation, Mako had watched with impressed eyes. She could tell he hac that kind of control, fluidity, and agility that a real Ranger had needed. With another five out of five score with a candidate, everyone in the room clapped happily as he finished.

"Well done Mr. Hauser. When your ready, you've earned a trip to the Jaeger Iris assigned to you."

Iris pushed Josh's hand away, wanting to stay lying down for a moment longer. She looked at him as he knelt next to her. "I accept your candidacy as a Ranger. Your fighting style is good. You dont give up even in difficult situations...and a deal's a deal." she sat up on her own to see another candidate had come in.

"Lunch is going to have to wait. How about you take me to dinner tonight? I know the best place to get some good dumplings in Hong Kong." she said standing and not waiting for him to respond. "Oh and, your paying." she finished with a smile. "You can either wait until i'm done with this one to do sim, or you can go to Mako and she'll help." Iris turned to speak to the other man in the room. "Hello there. I'm Iris Dvorak. Kindly remove your shoes and jacket then step over here." she pointed to the spot in front of her. Though she was demanding, she said it with a bit more respect than she normally would. She was in a good mood still, rare for her, and upon first glance he seemed to be older as usual.
