One thing though: I don't see any mention of furthering Serena's group in Japanese and our group in English like in Kinematics' plan. Communication may be hindered.
While I agree that time should be spent on this eventually, I don't think some hurried lessons from 1/3 time in a month is going to make a big difference. Better to stay focused on the actual problem of Tokyo. I'm sure that training/practice will include figuring out how to communicate in combat situations.
Even so, The list of backlog actions interests me, though I'm leery of the Heaven's Chosen and Osaka Junta groups.
I'm leery of them as well. That's why I'd like to make contact with them so we have a better idea of what they are and what they are doing.
You know, you're right about that. I figure we'd be better off looking at the magic company first, maybe even explore the area around Tokyo, before sticking our faces into the Kyoto quagmire.
Huh? What exactly do you think I'm doing in Osaka/Kyoto? I'm Opening Relations with the big groups there. That's not "sticking our faces into [a] quagmire."
Because of the way this was described (an information tree), I've been assuming we'd be starting contact with the girls we already are in contact with, and get them to find/contact others, who in turn find/contact others that they know, and so on and so forth. Some of those further contactees will have phones, and we can add them to direct contact points, but we wouldn't be handing out phones to everyone.
I thought the original description was a bit over complicated and asking for too much. I simplified it to this:
Diplomacy: Building a Tokyo Network (6 vets, up to $9000): As we begin to clear Tokyo, contact the girls in the cleared areas, especially the clairvoyants, so the Tokyo girls can call in a Serene strike on any Class 3s that wander into the cleared territory. Money is available to purchase two month cell phones for girls who agree to help (should be enough to cover 100 girls who don't have their own cellphones), with priority given to clairvoyants. Give each girl contacted a copy of the Serene History booklet so they know who we are. Secondary goals include: keeping up positive contact between Tokyo girls and the Serene, and 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.
That's a lot simpler than trying to setup a complicated information tree and dispatch system.
