- >Kaiju cleaning
- “Don’t worry sweetie you get used to it! It only took me about 14 tries and 22 OSHA reportables till I didn’t move an inch.”
- “What was that last part?!”
- “14 Tries!”

- >standing beside a gantry, watching as your view fills with grey, and not the grey of steel but that of a body casually making her way into the spot normally reserved for jaegers
- >mechanisms click and whine
- >engines and servos awaken as they pull the pieces into place around her body, encircling it as her tail dutifully swishes out of the way
- "Maintenance crews to stations."
- >they ready the high pressure washers as a nozzle swings into place above
- >red alarm lights die down, replaced with yellow caution lights spinning
- >a siren rings and a deep claxxon tones
- "Initiating procedure: shower in 3... 2.... 1...."
- >hot water pours from the nozzle as jets spray from the overpressurized firehoses
- >steam pours off of her body as sand and grime washes off
- >her hide foams up, seasalt reacting with sweat and shampoo
- >A pleased sigh rumbles over the noise of heavy rainfall pattering to the ground below, punctuated by a heavy clunk of a rear hoof touching down on its front, the trucks and guide vehicles having long gotten out of the way as she settles in
- >the frog of the hoof exposed, the high pressure hoses get to work on digging out bits of seabed rock and apparently an octopus that had taken refuge
- >Jenkins had to go chase it around and toss it into a saltwater tank on what was little more than an airplane luggage transportation truck waiting off to the side
- >this wasn't the first time
- >it used to be that she was too small for jaeger cleaning procedures, stuck to her little chambers because the world preferred not to remember she even existed
- >but things were different now
- >now as tall as the mechas sleeping beside her in their own gantries, she was the largest thing in the room
- >she lacked killmarks etched into their steel hulls or inked across slate-clean spots
- >her body just regenerated or absorbed whatever marks were on her by the time the week was over
- >she lazily shifted her weight to let them clean the other rear hoof, anchors tied into her hairs swishing to the side with gravity
- >such is life as mankind's made protector, finally acknowledged
