All right, we definitely want to repair Ronin. Do we still want to scan for survivors?

Can we repair all of Ronin with one action?

If so

  • Repair Ronin
  • Research more damaging incendiaries.
  • Obligatory Railgun research?
  • Scan for nearby Kaiju?

I say no for the kaiju scanning for the moment. Not till we get some more defenses.

Oh yeah, memorial service for the downed helicopters. Which shouldn't cost an action.

K, then replace with scanning for survivors I guess.

How much does upgrading labs cost now?

Also we might want to look into upgrading some mobile units for when we do go hunting.

I'm assuming 1500 but it might be 2000.

If its 2000 I suppose can the railgun bunker and save the 500 resources for later.

Instead maybe research, upgraded targeting systems for the railguns?

I'd really like to get those Incendiaries at least on par with the normal bullets since they're currently our best offensive option and getting them better can only be good.

I'll notify you when upgrade prices go up. It's still just 1000 resources to bring scanners or labs from 2 to 3.

Wild Ronin hasn't taken crippling damage so it can still be repaired in a single turn. Since it took frame damage, though, a roll will be required to remove the wound.

[up] No Kaiju until tomorrow.

Well if we're going to put down Railguns I'd prefer to put down four so we cover all of Tokyo's border.

I suggest we upgrade communications, try to get in contact with the outside world. If not this round, then soon.

Kaijunet means they know there's resistance here. Downed communication net means we know jack and shit about whats going on in the rest of the world.

[up]Definitely agree with that.

I say we:

  • Repair Wild Ronin
  • Upgrade our lab
  • Put some research into improving our incendiary rounds
  • Upgrade our communications

...What are our communications, anyway? Do we have any connections whatsoever? Do we need to research that before we can actually build it?

Oh, and by the way, Jenny hosts the memorial service for the downed heli pilots herself. Anne doesn't show; she hates crowds.

...What? Somebody's gotta stick some characterization on our pilots outside of "like turtles, enjoy shooting monsters." Might as well take initiative.

Had to go back a few pages because I remember something was said.

That may be difficult with global communications completely disrupted. tongue

The only way you can even talk to your forward units is with specialized short-range military radio that's being relayed through emergency antennae that dot the landscape.

Difficult isn't the same as impossible, though.

So emergency antennae and specialized military radios are what we have now. The infrastructure otherwise is damaged or unusable.

So that'll probably take quite a bit of research. Maybe we should save it for when we upgrade our labs a bit more.

Alright, so I'm back.

I still want to upgrade population so we can do five actions next week.

We all obviously agree on running repairs.

And lab upgrades are good for more research.

But I think instead of research for this turn we should slap down three railgun bunkers.

I'd like to have improved communications as soon as possible, so that we can get the word out that the new city motto is "We gladly feast on those who would subdue us" and bring people in to eat delicious kaiju, but all the upgrades in the world won't help if there's no way for people to hear us. Harrumph.

Can we upgrade our labs and then use the upgrade for research, or are the actions simultaneous?

I don't think eating your enemies is such a good idea when your enemies have poisonous, corrosive blood.

I'm good with either research or railgun bunkers. No preference.

Well, metaphorically feast. In the sense that we wrest resources from their smoking carcasses.

I like the bunkers idea. They'd be good to have in case we get another twofer and one gets past Ronin.

Also, because I went bike riding today, I had the idea of making a Jaeger-sized motorcycle for Wild Ronin. Think Clould's bike from Advent Children. With a Jaeger-sized first tsurugi. Stuff full of all sorts of fancy tech so that we can pull off jaeger-scaled omnislash mk 1 and omnislash mk 5. tongue

Basically, turn Wild Ronin into Cloud from FF 7 Advent Children with matching motorcycle.

This premise assumes I am at all familiar with Cloud or Advent Children or Final Fantasy. I am not. But really, you had me at giant robot motorcycle.

The resources we put into a giant robot motorcycle could almost certainly be more effectively be put into giant robot weapons, especially since we're doing all our fighting in the water. We'd still have a giant war robot, so it's not like we'd be running an awesome debt or anything.

Alright, Omnislash mark 5. For visual reference.

[up]And I'm aware it's a massive waste of resources. I wasn't seriously suggesting we go through with it. At least not anytime soon. Mostly just throwing it out there for the mental image.

Once we're willing to get more Jaegers, we might be able to build one specifically around the concept of riding a giant motorcycle. We won't really be able to illustrate that one with the Jaeger Designer, though.

Anyways, is this plan good for everyone?

Plan Whatever

  • Repair Wild Ronin
  • Upgrade Labs
  • Build and place 3 railgun bunkers
  • Increase population by searching for more survivors?
