If we can figure out how to work the Diplomacy with Tokyo thing, I'll add that. And if I can figure out some sort of morale action, I'll add that.
Okay, so when it comes to diplomacy we obviously don't want to do a straight recruit anywhere in Area 15/16, Kofu, or Tokyo; with all the excitement of the Great Cleanse (or whatever we're calling the operation) it's both too early and too presumptive to be recruiting either outside the city, where word of the operation has not yet spread, or inside the city, where girls are still worrying about basic safety.
My initial thoughts were actually along the lines of what
@Elder Haman articulated:
Not certain that there will be sectors cleared. Maybe in the early Stage 1 area, but once demons start fleeing it's not clear.
Because fully half of the Class 3s, along with the beholder itself, are teleport-capable, even in the areas that we've "cleared" there is the chance of a Class 3 jumping in and escaping our tandem clairvoyant team's sweeps. Therefore:
Diplomacy: Building a Tokyo Sensor Net (0.5 Mami, 1.5 vet): As we begin to clear Tokyo, start to set up a dispatch system and phone tree between all the meguca in Tokyo, especially the clairvoyants and teleporters, so the Tokyo girls can better coordinate between themselves for safety and call in a Serene airstrike on any Class 3s that wander into the cleared territory. If anyone seems interested in Serene manuals and/or recruiting literature feel free to give it to them (we
might be willing to straight-up recruit an Elite or two, maybe some experienced clairvoyants), but for now the primary goal is creating a sensor net to catch any teleporting or stealthed Class 3 demons. Secondary goals include: keeping up positive contact between Tokyo girls and the Serene, getting Tokyo girls used to keeping in contact with
each other, keeping Tokyo girls appraised of which areas are clear for solo hunting so they can build up grief cube stocks and begin to raise DS out of below negative-10 territory.
One of the big problems with fully clearing Tokyo is that so many of the Class 3s are teleport-capable, so in order to really pin them down we will need a large network of clairvoyants to keep most of Tokyo under constant surveillance. At the same time, one of the Serene's primary motivations for going into Tokyo in the first place is to make contact with the Tokyo meguca population, and hopefully persuade them to see our group favorably. It seems to me that there is a good synergy there.
Pack behavior is still my primary concern. I'm pointing out the lack of flexibility to deal with demon behavior different from what we are assuming.
Although, running away and pack behavior are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Running away when alone, and attacking in packs would be a reasonable reaction to our actions. Now I don't think the demons will adapt quickly enough to our actions for this to happen, but I'm trying to leave room for assumptions turning out to be wrong.
The problem with your plan and the possibility of emergent pack behavior is that working full time doesn't actually help against packs of Class 3s. The only way we'll be able to counter emerging pack behavior among Class 3s is to put Nagoya's
much much stronger than us Elite teams inside Serena's aura, which is not a situation that is helped by a full-time commitment by our vet support team. In fact, in the case of the Class 3s "going to ground" in packs the vet teams are going to be completely useless, with the possible exception of the vet barrier girls; if Class 3 packs happen then we're probably better off dismissing the vet team completely and letting them get started on backlog items, since they won't be able to do any good at all.
If we split it up into two picnics with Mami spending time with Serena and company I wouldn't object to it.
The other problem with a nature hike is that it's January, and the average temperature is about 1.5 degrees C (about 35 degrees F for us Americans). If you then go into the mountains there
will be snow, and lots of it; not exactly picnic weather.
