In the Pacific Rim draft script, intrepid reporter Felicity "Flick" Kincaid is the one who drifts with a kaiju brain. It's honestly a kind of stupid process and a bit squicky, so I won't go into detail.
Here, drifting with a kaiju brain isn't explicitly stated to be too much for the human brain, so it's unclear if that's a problem here or if it's life-threatening because it's just that alarming, and maybe also because of the fucked-up procedure used for it. Flick also gets strapped to a table in the process, and to make a long story short that's why she requires rescuing from her love interest, Newt Gotlieb.
So if that scene where Hermann Gottlieb rescued Newt Geiszler felt particularly romantic? That could be why - it was literally adapted from a love interest rescue scene!

New from Sanrio… it’s HELLO KAIJU!!!
Based on the opening of the movie with the talk shows and the sneakers and all that craziness, I feel like this totally could have happened. Trespasser-chan just might have been canon. And Newt would have bought the hell out of it. And Hermann would have disapproved (that or he would have secretly bought it for Newt and given it to him anonymously…)
This is a fill for the square “Action Figures / Posters” for @theloccent Pacific Rim Bingo. Three down, one to go!
