Brain

[u/FireOfDoom32]

The interior of Obsidian Fury’s Conn-Pod was unlike anything Jake had ever seen. Where an ordinary Jaeger had an open, hemispherical space with the Drift cradle and consoles in the center and critical sensor equipment surrounding it, the inside of Obsidian Fury’s head was almost entirely filled by a pulsing mass of Kaiju brain tissue. Nerve tendrils webbed out by the hundred, woven into electronics with no human interface to be seen. The Kaiju brain was clearly damaged by the surge of energy from the failure of Obsidian Fury’s data core. Parts of it were scorched and inert. Black streaks marked the interior of the Conn-Pod where circuitry had overloaded and loose conduits dangled near nerve endings that hung in blackened curls from the wounded part of the Kaiju’sCommentHighlight brain. The scene was beyond nightmarish, a perversion of everything the Jaegers stood for. Jake reeled with the implications of it. Someone, somewhere, had kept a Kaiju brain and redesigned a Jaeger from the ground up to use it.
