[X] Reduce combat actions to once a hunting day. Expand the time between hunting days to two days. (Alternating a hunting day with two off-hunting days). Use the extra time off for additional practice and training for future combat.
[X] Have Kyoclone spend the off-hunting day scouting out the abilities of the various demon pairs. Identify if they have clairvoyance, barriers, healing, etc. If Kyoclone gets into bad trouble, just have Kyouko dismiss her and re-summon her instead of risking her being killed.
-[X] Choose targets for the various tactics below with these abilities in mind
[X] Make our way around the edges of the city, avoiding the center where the eyeball is, and clearing the rest of the city as much as possible.
[X] Numbers of combat actions with each tactic are guidelines, the point is to lesson the ability of the demons adapt, but to balance that with risk and safety concerns. The exact number of times a tactic is used can be adjusted as experience and new information dictates.
[X] For the next two combat actions (and/or till they adapt again), continue to use the Serena Co. as the hunters, with the Mobile CC plan (specified in detail the [a href="[URL="https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/meguca-micro-empire-quest-pmmm.8632/page-282#post-5624090"]Meguca Micro Empire Quest (PMMM) | Page 282[/URL]" class="internalLink"]first plan[/a]).
-[X] Try to attack at least one pair that has one demon with teleportation to see how they react. (Do they flee? Do they teleport the other demon away as well? - If so we need another mini turn to figure out how to respond, as the decision tree is far too complicated.)
[X] Contact Hino/Nagoya to give her an update on the current status of the hunt.
-[X] The teleporting demons fled Serena immediately instead of swarming to fight her as we had hoped based on our initial information about demon behavior. This means we assess the threat of demons fleeing Tokyo as much reduced.
-[X] While we have much experience with class 2 demon adaptation, this is our first experience with significant numbers of class 3 demons. They are adapting much faster than the class 2 demons did and in new ways, as they have begun patrolling in pairs. The class 3 demon behavior is matching up with our worst case estimates rather than the middle case or best case. Because of this we now assess that a 1 month clearing of Tokyo is impossible, and 3 months highly likely.
-[X] We know that Nagoya has other needs, and would understand if they wish to move some forces back to Nagoya for other purposes. Alternatively, suggest that Nagoya could help in a more direct way: a coordinated attack on two different patrols at the same time, which may be useful as an additional tactic that the demons will have not yet adapted too. See if Hino/Nagoya would be willing to attempt this?
[X] If Hino/Nagoya agree to the joint action (and there has still not been a shift in combat tactics) : Attack using the Serena Co. w/ mobile CC tactic. Nagoya meanwhile targets a different pair of demons.
-[X] Make sure to use scouting by Kyoclone to identify pairs of demons with abilities that Nagoya feels comfortable dealing with.
[X] For the next two combat actions (and/or till they adapt again) use the Support Team with Serena untransformed plan:
-[X] Use scouting reports to pick demon pairs for this that are suitable for the tactic (no clairvoyants or barrier breakers, etc.)
[X] For the next three combat actions, use the Solo Girl Lures into Ambush Plan:
-[X] Use scouting reports to pick demon pairs for this that are suitable for the tactic

[X] Keep in touch with the Nagoya teams over the changes observed, and how that's affecting strategy decisions and outcome expectations. Note ideas on changes to how we'd like to utilize them during this campaign. Escalate discussions to Hino if deemed necessary. (This would have been the liaison's job, but can be managed during nominal idle time by the Tokyo team/Mami.)
[X] Slow down the attacks for a few days, while spending more time scouting out the border region of Tokyo, to as reasonably a safe extent as possible. Consider using KyoClone as a probe unit if we can't get close enough to use clairvoyance for target info.
[X] Evaluate how the recent pairing adaptation has spread. Have those not in the immediate proximity of the original fight started pairing up? Do we have a mix of pairs and singles now, particularly on the far side of Tokyo?
[X] Evaluate the adaptation in relation to adaptations made by class 2 demons, from -10.0 (what Kyouko kept her territory at) to +10.0 (the max we allow in ours). At what point do class 2's start teaming up against magical girls attacks? Are there any other notable behavior change points along that scale?
-[X] Use the above info to create an analog of our DS scale for the class 3 demons. Continue to hunt, but aim to ensure that the C3DS does not go above its commensurate 10.0 level, and possibly keep a decent buffer, such as ~8.0.
-[X] Cross-reference behavior as reported by Tokyo locals to see if the same de-adaptation of hunting its normal prey (in this case, magical girls) happens as the C3DS increases.
[X] Continue to have Serena as the primary hunter, using a few of the proposed tactics that don't stretch the boundaries very much. Keep focus on evaluating the adaptation mechanisms.
-[X] Prioritize demon pairs, if the adaptation has been incomplete (ie: there's a mix of pairs and singles).
