Because for some reason my brain decided that I really needed to write a prequel to "Cold War," and I am weak against my brain.

Contains: Violence and aftermath of violence, minor swearing, minor academic nerding, fake code, okay I can't really regret writing this because MORE MARSHAL MMA.

( and bring grace to the strong )

And part 2! Same content notes as the first part.

Part 1.

( Cold War, part 2 )

Well, this ended up a lot longer than I planned, so into two parts it goes!

Contains: Swearing, canon-typical violence (for Pacific Rim), AI abuse, Old French, fake coding, small cameos by Pacific Rim characters, approximately 14,000 words in total holy shit.

( Cold War, part 1 )
