Another idea presented by del Toro was the focus on the [[Precursors]] and the [[Anteverse]] and how they could use the information provided by [[Newton Geiszler]] against mankind. “They have a hive mentality, meaning that if you ‘drift’ with a Kaiju brain, you are drifting with every Kaiju alive. Depending on the duration of the drift the information might be complete or incomplete, but the Kaiju know everything the human drifts with them knows. That’s as much as I can tell you without spoiling the sequel.”<ref name="bleedincool">[http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/07/11/guillermo-del-toro-on-what-you-can-and-cant-expect-from-the-pacific-rim-dvd-blu-ray-and-sequel/ Guillermo Del Toro On What You Can And Can’t Expect From The Pacific Rim DVD, Blu-Ray And Sequel]</ref><ref name="filmschoolrejects"/>
