Iron Dragon vs. The World! (Pacific Rim/Godzilla Parody Quest)

"Guys? Was that the kaiju?"
"Roger, Kiryu. Just stay focused. Get closer."
Cautiously, the Jaeger continues stepping forwards, as sneakily as possible.

Meanwhile, the scouts keep their scanners going. One squadron decides to check out the hill on a whim, with both scanners
and visual confirmation.
Kiryu is 6 Units from Yukon, your forces are 10. The kaiju is within 3 Units of Yukon.
Roll me 1d10-1 For Scanning.
 
Category ????? Yama Detected/ Awakened
Result: 7-1=6 (Scanning)

This time, despite the interference, the choppers manage to narrow the location of the kaiju. It's on the far side of Yukon, and it's...


Warning! Kaiju Signature Detected! Category Undetectable! Signature is Active! Repeat: Signature is Active!

...Waking up.

With a resounding crack, a fissure splits down either side of the hill, and the earth shakes. Kiryu wobbles, unsteady as its balance is disrupted by the quake.
"Kiryu! Grab Yukon, and get out of there!" One of the helis shouts over the comms.


Kaiju Codename: Yama, Cat ?????

Well, that happened. What's our course of action?
[ ]OH GOD PANIC!!
[ ]Grab the damn Jaeger!
[ ]
[ ]Ready all weapons!
[ ]Write-in.
 
[X] Kiryu runs away from Yama away from where Yukon is located.
-[X] All other forces grab what they can of Yukon while Yama is distracted.
-[X] Once Yukon is away, everyone retreat as fast as possible.
 
Yama identified as Category V
"Kiryu! Jaeger! Grab it! Go!" The order is barked over the comms. The mecha starts a bit, before charging forwards, abandoning all stealth.

Meanwhile, the TDF starts a hasty retreat, tanks and trucks turning around, and gunning their engines. The Helis back up as well, but stay within firing distance, knowing Kiryu might need backup soon. As for the infantry? They freak out, and run away.

Just as Kiryu reaches Yukon's wreck, the hill shakes again, and
grows. The 'trees' on it shiver, and ignite into a sickly blue, as Yama shakes its coating of dirt off. The hide beneath the soil is grey, like ash-covered stone, and it looks very thick. The ground rips as Yama flexes its arms, tearing all six out of the earth.
Now that Yama's no longer hiding, Kiryu's sensors can get a better lock on it.


Warning! Yama identified as Category III- Error!

But Yama doesn't stop. The monster keeps rising out of the ground, tons of dirt cascading off its sides.

Signature rising! Category Increasing! Yama Identified as Category IV- ERROR!
Signature Rising! Category Increasing!


Yama's not done yet. With a sleepy rumble, the massive mountain of kaiju flesh shakes itself free of the earth, and rears up to its full height- nearly 200 meters tall. There is a moment of silence, before the scanners announce their latest reading.

Yama has been identified as: Category V.

[ ]Grab Yukon!
[ ]Run Away! Again!
[ ]Stand and Fight!
[ ]Whimper for Mummy.
 
Guys? On a scale of 1 to 10 on the Fucked-O-Meter, you're completely fucked.
 
[X] Kiryu runs away from Yama.
-[X] Kiryu runs in retreat as a distraction.
-[X] All other forces grab what they can of Yukon while Yama is distracted.
-[X] Once Yukon is away, everyone retreat as fast as possible.
 
How big do you think the explosion would be if we detonated the Yukon?
1. Yukon's reactor is dead. You'll have to replace it.
2. If it wasn't, then Yukon would have the same strength as a Tactical Nuke (standard for Jaeger Self-Destruct)

For reference, a Tactical Nuke:

Thermonuclear Warhead
Attack Dice: 5x1d10
Damage Type: Burst
Damage Bonus: 1d5
Armour Penetration: 3
Radius: 10, Radiation and EMP over 20


However, you don't have any nukes. Also, see #1.

3.That'd be a terrible waste of a Jaeger. And all your forces would die. ALL OF THEM.
 
Also, SJ's plan is the only one, so unless someone suggests something else, we're going with it. A'ight?

Sounds good.
 
"Kiryu! Forget Yukon! We'll take care of it!" One of the Jumphawk squadrons shouts. "Just draw that thing's attention away long enough for us to get the Jaeger, then run away!"

Kiryu spins, then nods. The Jaeger's body tenses, before it dashes off to the left, flaring its rockets and blaring its horns. "Hey, big, stupid, scary kaiju! Over here! Look at us!"

The carryalls swoop forwards making it to Yukon easily. Their cables unlock, and drop down to attach to Yukon's cold body.

As for Yama? The kaiju swings its head to the side, beady black eyes blinking slowly. It seems to be having trouble focusing on Kiryu, at least until it lets out a tremendous foghorn moan, and starts lumbering forwards.

Kiryu is 6 Units from Yukon. Yama is 2 Units from Yukon, and 5 from Kiryu. The Jumphawks are in Yukon's space. Your Crunchies are 18 Units from Yukon, your helis 10. Kiryu currently has all of Yama's attention.
Plan?

[ ]Run like the wind!

[X]Run like the wind, Bullseye Kiryu!
-[X] Jumphawks get Yukon out of there!
-[X] Squishes retreat!
--[X] Helicopters follow Kiryu and prepare for further orders!

Hm. Does Kiryu have claws on it's hands and feet?

EDIT: Also, how big is Yama compared to Kiryu?
 
Plan is:
[X]Run like the wind, Bullseye Kiryu!
-[X] Jumphawks get Yukon out of there!
-[X] Squishes retreat!
--[X] Helicopters follow Kiryu and prepare for further orders!

Kiryu doesn't wait at all, launching itself back into a run, flaring its thrusters and shouting insults at Yama to draw its attention while the TDF gets to safety. As silently as possible, the SH-50s, AH-1Ss, and one squadron of Jumphawks follow the mecha, making sure he's got some backup.

The Jumphawks fire full throttle, slowly lifting Brawler Yukon off the ground. The helis turn around, and pull forwards, carrying the wreckage away.
Meanwhile, the TDF's land-bound forces keeps gunning their engines.

Yama is conflicted. The Jaeger is large, loud, and generally annoying, but the small vehicles- they're more... palatable. Sleepily, Yama gives another monstrous yawn, and lurches after the Jaeger. The thing's closer, anyways.

Kiryu is 11 Units from Yama. Yukon and the Jumphawks are 12 Units from Yama, and 12-11 from Crunchies. Your Crunchies are 24-23 Units from Yama. Your Helis are 2 Units from Kiryu. Kiryu still has all of Yama's attention.
Plan?

[ ]Write-in.
-[ ]Something that doesn't involve screaming "Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!" and jumping onto Yama, no matter how appropriate it would be.
 
Um...first time I'm making an action plan for this game format, go easy on me.


[X] Move Kiryu 9 Units from Yama, then open up with the Dual Masers.
[X] Continue evacuation, conventional forces are to forego stealth and go for maximum velocity out of here.
