Anchorage Shatterdome scraps

SUBJECT: GODDAMNIT DOC
Look at me, all proper channels and what not. Turning into a real soldier boy, lemme tell you.
See this journal paper on the Breach? There is something terribly, terribly wrong with it but I haven't a clue what. I'm pretty sure you're the only one who can follow this piece-of-junk prediction algorithm so I'm pawning it off to you.
Do what you can (and by that I mean smack some sense into it) and then, I swear on everything that is sacred and holy, GET SOME SLEEP. AND FOOD. In some order, I really don't care which but seriously, brother, you've been awake for DAYS. I will come down there and I will spike your tea and I will stand watch outside your door with my 49ers bat (which I bought for this very occasion!) and whack anyone who tries to wake you. I WILL.
But first take a look at that crap and see if there's anything salvageable.
Cheers, 
Tendo

==Skating==
(From email, "Mini Ficlet: Phone Home")
2018 November-December: Uh... Between November and December 2018 (after Shaolin dies but before Min's Drift; this was another attempt to cheer Typhoon up and it worked! For a while, anyway). Maybe they wound up in Anchorage after chasing Raythe?
"If this works," says Chief Green, "you should flip the switch and the skate'll descend on the next step."
"Roger," replies Illisapie.
"Switch flipped," reports Zeke.
Chrome takes a step onto the ice.
Mid-stride, the right skate slides into position.
Chrome gingerly takes another step and then half a leg shorter, topples sideways at the knee, flails for a handhold, and disappears into the ocean.
Chief Green says, "We're gonna need some thicker ice."

[[File:Godzilla_on_Ice.png|thumb|Godzilla on Ice: would need a thickness of at least 100". From and .]]
If a Jaeger is 40x larger than a person and a skateblade (for a goalie speedskater) is 4mm, then a Jaeger's skake would be 16cm or 6.3 inches.
1980 tons = 3960000 pounds / 6.3 = 628571.4
Ice safety is calculated by Gold's formula, P = Ah^2. 
(P = load, A = a constant; 50 psi, h = ice thickness)
Solve for 'h': squareroot(P/A) = h (I think)
squareroot(628571.4/50) = 112.1 inches or 2.9 meters.
... I didn't factor in the length of the skate blade. Time for lunch!
==Spinal Tape==
(From "Jaegers that Weren't!AUs")
Text
Spinal Tape: to match Caitlin's "Eleven" nickname. Also, spinal cords (and brains!).
Niiiiiiiiiiice.
(Being a librarian, I was half-thinking it was a brand name of tape for repairing book spines. XD )
...? Oh! HA! I wonder if they do use the Spinal Tape as spinal tape for theses/textbooks XD
Not if there's a librarian around, they don't. XD
Book repair types are very, very, very picky about the tape applied to books. Normal stuff (like Spinal Tape) basically 'burns' paper over time and they use something that's kinder to paper instead.
Text
Caitlin grabs her dictionary of neurology and the front falls off . She looks heavenward for a moment, then grabs the spinal tape dispense and sticks the front back on more or less properly. 
.
A few days later, the 'Dome libraian comes by with a couple books for Chuck (who, at this point, couldn't quite make it that far in a single trip). 
"Thanks," says Caitlin, balancing her dictionary on a stack of files. 
A strangled sound--
Caitlin's on her feet, hoping Chuck hadn't hurt herself too badly seizing--
The libraian snatches the dictionary, smacks Caitlin with a sheaf of papers, and scurries from the room, craddling the dictionary to their chest.

When Raleigh Becket strolls into Anchorage LOCCENT, Tendo Choi is laid out on the floor, eyes screwed tightly closed. Raleigh crouches over his friend.
“Tendo, man, you okay?” he asks, concern evident in his voice.
“I think I'm dying,” Tendo moans.
“What's wrong? Should I call the medbay?” Raleigh leans toward the intercom.
Tendo sighs. “Don't bother. I just need to lie here for a while longer.” He finally opens an eye. “Headache. The coffee shipment is three days late. I'm in withdrawal. Sucks.”
Raleigh laughs. “Since this is a life-or-death emergency, Yancy probably won't kill you if we break into his secret stash.”
“Yancy has a stash?” Tendo says, eyes wide and sounding a little hurt. “He's been holding out on me?”
“C'mon, let's go make you human again,” Raleigh says, offering his hand to help the technical officer to his feet.

2021 April (SK) 
Her name's Cory, probably short for something and she's 25. She's a military brat; mom's a fighter pilot, dad's MI6 (she's met him three times and gets birthday cards). I think she squeaks/her voice cracks a lot. 
 
I... I think she finds jockeying a bit anti-climactic. The game's faar more exciting and she's totally glad he doesn't care because STANLEY CUP FINALS AND THERE'S A CANADIAN TEAM. 
.
Winnipeg against Boston. 
Winnipeg wins. Cory knocks Pietr out of alignment for a split second throwing both arms up. (Pietr swings back in alignment and picks Chrome off the ground because it can't jump and Cory tried). 
.
And there are techs grumbling about how they have to clean mud from under the butt armor. What the hell were those two idiots doing out there, anyway?
.
And no one checks the handshake for a while. Zeke offhandedly mentions they should let her jockey in the next parade. Which they realize is the Stanley Cup parade. 
sqqqquuueEEEAAAAAAAKKK
Pentecost doesn't look up from the paperwork. 
Even with two sets of eyes boring holes in his head. 
A timid knock. 
"Come in."
Three sets of footsteps. 
"At ease." Pentecost signs the last document and sets it aside. "Good morning, Rangers, how may I help you?"
"Cup."
"Parade."
"Stanleep."
"If the route can support /Chrome, ask if they would appreciate your presence. If they say yes and you can arrange transport, you may go. Dismissed." 
==Shrinkage==
2021 January (Bubble, SK, Monkeys)
"Am I calling you Jackie yet?" asks Chuck, handing him and Logan each a cup of tea.
"There is definite shrinkage," Jackson replies through clattering teeth. "But I'm pretty sure I'm still a guy." 
.::It's not Russia.:: 
"At least it's humid," grumbles Logan. 
"Since when can you sign?" demands Wash. 
"I can't." Logan tucks his nose over his cup. "Everyone makes that comparison." 
"The humidity makes it colder."
