Uncle, though. Esca remembers Aquila asking after his nephew at the hangar when they arrived, but he hadn’t realized that the nephew was a pilot. The pilot they need a copilot for is an Aquila. The thought of it makes Esca’s chest tighten, caught between excitement and dread. Would it be a sick revenge, to drift with the man whose father caused the death of Esca’s? Would it be justice? He can’t be sure.
Esca gets into the jaeger program from prison with one goal – kill kaiju and die nobly. Obviously Marcus will help with the first but refuse to let him do the latter. Awesome Pacific Rim AU!
