HI IM READING YOUR PACIFIC RIM FIC AND IT IS GLORIOUS all i have to say is i think that between gypsy danger being decommissioned and the jager program being shut down there was a five year gap, not two months? idk that was my initial confused reaction while reading so i thought i'd say something
i don’t remember the fic exactly at the moment but they decommission the program in like 2020, after knifehead and becket senior’s death?
the stop funding it but that doesn’t mean it’s shut down completely… the UN still needs jaegers until the wall is completed. i think i said they decommission the jaeger program in 2020 and then tried to show the passing of time?
Two months after Knifehead, the United Nations sunset the Jaeger Program.
yeah okay we’re in 2020 here, and then people start leaving (newt’s interns and such, there’s that thing where newt talks with tendo over coffee) and the next thing is
Mutavore attacks in 2025, when they’ve got nothing left,
[…]PPDC gradually decommissions all Shatterdomes but one, and Pentecost tells them they’re relocating to Hong Kong.
so basically they spent five years working and using up all the remaining funds, and then in 2025 the UN shut the program down for good (which is the scene you see in the movie, when pentecost says they don’t need the UN and basically has chau fund the program)
hope this cleared things up! :)
