==Last Stronghold of Shatterbucks==
===Shatterdome===
"Why aren't you going to Medical?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO MORE SHATTERDOME??" 
"WHY DOES NO ONE TELL ME THESE THINGS???"
"Everyone was just going places... they were all supposed to come back...."
==Broken Memories==
A damaged Shaolin Rogue wakes up.
===Symbolic Logic===
Something brushes against Romeo's mind. 
---Hey, Shaolin--- (don't say anything more)
It moves away. 
(don't call out)
A few stars winked to life. 
A good-ish day, then. 
His sensor array stays quiet. 
Still a good-ish day. 
A star vanishes. 
(don't call out)
Another star vanishes. 
(get a grip, dude)
The last star vanishes. 
(it's not like this is a new thing.)
The space barely returned anything--
Romeo narrows everything into an almost imperceptible beam. 
A faint shimmer. 
(See? Everything's fine.)
The space shivers. 
(This definition of fine, anyway.)

[Pickleplum] Thanks again to artificiallifecreator for the on-the-fly beta work.
Dear god, Shaolin was hard to write. With her broken learning module and her patchy memory, I had to keep her from making connections between facts that seemed obvious, prevent her from asking follow-up questions, and limit her vocabulary, while keeping the story moving forward.
'Chao' and 'Feng' are Chao and Feng Lin, Shaolin Rogue's pilots. They are killed and Shaolin's Jaeger body destroyed in 2022. There is nothing about her pilots and end on the wiki, so I invented them.
Shaolin's comment about 'destruction to luck' stems from red/crimson being a lucky color in Chinese culture. So Typhoon switches from calling herself a lucky color to calling herself a destructive storm.
Ikuchi is an original kaiju. Its existence is implied in the novelization by a line from Pentecost: when Raleigh, Mako, and Gipsy Danger are falling after killing Otachi, Pentecost says "I've done this before." That could mean that he, Tamsin, and Coyote Tango were picked up by a kaiju and dropped from a great height. I couldn't find a matching kaiju on the wiki, so I created one. It's name comes from a legendary Japanese sea serpent known for its incredible length and habit of sinking fishing boats.
Although it doesn't quite jive with the novelization, Ikuchi is the winged kaiju Athene!Newt has tattooed across his back. I love picking and choosing from para-canon.
Shaolin talks about Ikuchi rather than the perhaps more obvious Otachi because all she knows of Otachi are a few panicked images from Newt's memory (which may not include its wings), but Ikuchi she learned about from her pilots and their memory of it (and their awe at what Pentecost, Sevier, and Coyote Tango did) remains in her memory bank.
==Brother Mine==
2025 March 7 Brother Mine 
Lucky surfs into Typhoon's server. --Anyone home?--
A couple of Shaolin's stars peek around Typhoon's. --Brother mine?-- 
Brother yours. Lucky.
red-charm red-gown red-lantern?
--Abstract only,-- Lucky shines softly. 
--Not an only,-- yawns Typhoon. 
Satisfied, Shaolin tucks herself back in beside Typhoon and goes back to sleep. 
--How're you doing?-- whispers Lucky, curling himself around the stars of her other side. 
--Sleepy,-- she sighs, filling in the hollows. 
--Still tickles.-- 
--Mmhmm.--
--Little blighter.-- 
--Mmhmm.--
--Sleep now?--
sleeping nice Lucky nice
--I don't mind.-- 
Ashao too quiet say something please come back
Shaolin coos.
--I'll keep watch. She won't disappear again.--
pleased
--Goodnight, Typhoon.--

==Mako==
The newly awoken Shaolin believes there are two Beckets piloting Danger: since when is Becket small and blue?
==Missing Time==
Shaolin missed over half the war. She went to sleep during the Golden Years. She never saw a Category IV Kaiju. She never saw a Jaeger destroyed. The Wall didn't exist. /Striker hadn't been launched/.
That probably means after everyone's re-introduced she pins Romeo and tells him he doesn't make any sense, "The kaiju killed our pilots and took our bodies, really? Fool. We are unstoppable." 
And he'll be all, "uh, guys? Little help here? Please? Quickly?"

==Google==
--Ack, Shaolin, why not you just look this stuff up?--

--So you can learn stuff!--
--Learning is good.--
--This is a search engine. Type in something you want to know.--

--Shoalin?--
--I cannot think of something I want to know.--
==I Found You!==
From "Dinosaurs"
Chuck digs around one of the many boxes of Hong Kong Drift equipment. "Er, Logan?" she calls. "There's a, uh, vacuumed-sealed hamster ball? For you?" She studies it. "Mini-Zorb ball? Bubble? Thing?" 
Logan gathers it up, reclines back in his chair. 
- BALL OF DIRT
Please open over a box.- 
Hmm. 
So Logan heads into the mudroom, empties the recycle box, and frowns at the hamster-zorb-bubble-thing. 
Looks like a cloud's hanging in there or something. 
/Finally finds a seam. 
Plastic opens with a hiss. 
Bundled in the dirt is a plant. Also an envelope, standard size, feels almost like parchement, no address. 
He opens it. 
One sheet of parchment, impeccably trifolded. 
No pictures this time. 
In his ridiculously neat cursive, Feng had painted, 
- I found you! -
Logan wipes his eyes, goes to find something to act as a pot.
