LT. COL TAKADA,
I write as a matter of urgency to nominate the most exceptional pilots Great Britain Air Command for immediate assignment to PPDC Jaeger Initiative. Since the tragic Trespasser event, the beast now known as the Kaiju has become a menace no nation can ignore. The threat reaches beyond the Pacific Rim, and your war is our war. At the behest of our Prime Minister, the British Armed Forces are poised to lend support to this unprecedented conflict.
It is with confidence and pride that I submit the following officers for your consideration:
- WIND COMMANDER BRUCE MACKENZIE
- WING COMMANDER PETER SCOTT
- FLIGHT LIEUTENANT OLIVER SHEPHERD
- FLIGHT LIEUTENANT [REDACTED]
- FLYING OFFICER ADAM GRIMWADE
I have enclosed detailed personnel files and military service records for all of men, who are briefed and ready to submit themselves to the PPDC Command.
It is my opinion that these candidates embody the mental fortitude, physical strength and combat experience required by the rigors of Jaeger deployment.
Powered by such courage, I am convinced these mechanical Goliaths can still these deadly seas.
