Raleigh Becket heard the alarm and was moving before he was completely awake, swinging out of the bottom bunk in the Alaska Shatterdome's officers' quarters and talking before his feet had hit the ground. "Yancy, get up! Movement in the Breach!" He got his shirt on. Yancy didn't move. "Let's go, bro!" Raleigh kicked the edge of his brother's bunk. They had divvied up opposite personal qualities the way siblings close in age did. Raleigh snapped one-hundred-percent awake right away; Yancy was lucky to reach full awareness before it was time to go to bed again. "We're being deployed!" "Great. Good morning," Yancy grumbled. It sometimes seemed to Raleigh that his brother would sleep his life away, but man, not Raleigh. There was too much out there. Including, at this moment, a kaiju to be killed. "This one's Category III, biggest yet," Raleigh said, checking the deployment monitor while he finished dressing. "Codename: Knifehead." Yancy muttered something incomprehensible. At least he was out of the bed and moving. Raleigh was already at the door, bouncing on the balls of his feet while Yancy finished stretching and pried his eyes open. "Fifth notch on the belt," Raleigh said, scanning the first batch of information on the kaiju as it streamed out of LOCCENT Command. Yancy stretched and looked around for his clothes. "Don't get cocky," he said. Three minutes later they were in the suiting area.
