Lol, come on guys! I build a nice combo to give Mammoth nightmares and those 9's and 10's have whittled down the brawler to effectively a MS victim while his support is cooking his own innards with feedback from shield collapse. Oh, you fickle RNG gods!

5 AKP's 3/shots of RPG Bombardment: 1d10+1 Impact/Fire damage. -2 Damage. [cauterize] rng -/-/5, hit on 5+
Taking two of these.
EDIT: So, there's a straw, and then there's nailing the camel with a brick to the face.

Disregarding the explosion, as only K-scale, superheavies, or Elite conventionals have that ability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The AKP's are quick to emulate Roy's success, Wheezer takes one shot to the left arm, and the second nails him squarely in the eyes!
Wheezer is hit in his Left Arm for a Glancing wound! 1 strike suffered.
Wheezer suffers a Major Wound to his Eyes! suffering an additional 5 strikes, and is permanently Blinded! Universal penalty climbs to -10!!! and yet he stands...
The AKP's are quick to emulate Roy's success, Wheezer takes one shot to the left arm, and the second nails him squarely in the eyes!
5+1=6, -2 AV Oily Leathery Hide -2 damage adjustment = 2 Glancing Wound
10+1=11, +/- 0 av unprotected eyes -2 damage adjustment = 9 Minor Wound
5+2=7, -2 Rubberized Spongy Hide bypassed by 1pt of Anti-armor penetration 6 BLAST = 6 Minor Wound
Sages left rearmost shoulder suffers a Minor Wound, inflicting 3 strikes, -1 hth, -1 dex, the force of the blast spins the beast disorienting it robbing it of its turn this round!

Things are looking grim for team Kaiju... you know this may be the second battle (3rd k-scale opponent) where your conventional left Mammoth standing with little or nothing to do?
May need to escalate my game to actual 4's or 5's. Make Mammoth relevant again, despite your rolls being charmed.
Edit: Even the Precursors have a learning curve...
Edit Edit: Seriously; I'm not mad, just a tad disappointed these designs never saw the light of day had they actually survived long enough to use their abilities I can guarantee a bad day would have been had. @Fyrstorm I now feel your pain!!! TRvtW where excellent kaiju designs ALSO suffer faceless deaths.

So, plus or minus...what, ten, twenty miles? That's being generous, too. Yeah, that's still a hell of a trip. I can see why they made him a Ranger, despite the near-failure on the psych eval. Dude's got drive.
Them's the breaks. Just wait until the pendulum swings the other way, and we get trashed by some random minor Kaiju.

Michael noticed evening was coming on and being alone and out in the open at night was never a good choice if you wanted to see your next sunrise. Some of the things from the alien nests hunted better at night, and the winged ones were not hesitant to forage far afield especially once they had developed a taste for man flesh.
The Dagonites weren't as diligent about clearing infestations if they were far enough out from Charleston and the nest remained small enough not to slow their frequent raids.
Michael almost hated the bastards as much as the kaiju, as they were collectively the worst humanity had to offer.
Anyone who considered fellow people as a renewable resource of only minimal value, to be extorted or enslaved and slaughtered on a whim shouldn't sleep too soundly. Michael had only ended the ones fate had forced him too...
The ones who ventured to close to Bracer, the ones who had captured and held Jeannette for a handful of days, the ones who insisted on more tribute than he and the others could survive without.
Not to imply he was hesitant to end these animals in clothing, they polluted his world and tainted his memories of how things once were (and if fate was kind could be again).
No, he just knew too many missing Raiders drew a mobile 'Locust Camp' (10 heavily armed & armored 'Greyhound' busses that mounted 60+ motorcycle scouts) that would circle up like a wagon train and would dispatch 'Slash and Burn' raiders in a 5 mile radius to slaughter all encountered & who would take everything of value and firebomb the rest leaving no shelter standing. Inspired no doubt by Sherman's March to the Sea.
These camps had the ability to request air support in the form of MQ-9 'Reaper' drones (Predator-B) and were more than capable of IR surveilance from altitude followed by a salvo of hellfire missiles as their 'hello!'
Life was hard enough 'sharing' tribute, trying to forage enough to live while staying out of sight of "shoot first" raiders was intolerable and had nearly starved them to death.
Indiscriminate killing brought more hardship in already near impossible world. It was just easier to hide Jeanette and pay until it hurt.
Possession of modern firearms or mil-spec weapons by 'thralls' was a double edged sword, illegal for personal use or possession but valued tribute. No, 'Thralls' were expected to either survive with bows or blades or any other weapon suitable for uncivilized savages.
If survival was just too rough, "Radio: Air Charleston" promised safety and food behind their high safe walls in exchange for your labor, contributed enough and you too could become a citizen-soldier in the 'Deacon's' armies foraging and raiding in his great name and share in the plunder.
Ahead a partially burned out shell of a house, promised at least a dry level floor and maybe a chance to refill his bota bag if no one else had scavenged the water from the reservoir of the toilet or drained the water heater.
Michael loosened his biggest and most obvious knife in its sheath, the single barreled sawed off was hidden on a twine sling that looped over his head ran down the off hand sleeve of his enormous duster and could be accessed by removing the loop with his good hand allowing the weight to make it drop to hand. It was much louder and messier than the small silenced .22 at the small of his back, the .22 had only 5 rounds in the clip but it lacked serious penetration. The 12 guage was loaded and another dozen shells were scattered hidden in his gear.
Not the most hidden of stashes but enough to pass a casual once over -especially- if Michael put on his best cower, possibly including self urination.
The house loomed closer...

Let me see; Sensor / Comms 3 , 15 mile radius per lvl area of influence for Charleston. 90 mile diameter circle so +/- 45 miles from Evil Central is possible.
Yes, they are bigger and closer to -our- area of influence than you may have thought...

He hid it under a collapsed building, so I'm guessing Charleston proper, or maybe a satellite town with a skyscraper or office building. And that's still 60-70 miles.

Your way too good at deductive reasoning, but you have also failed to factor in non-standard buildings (warehouse, grain silos, etc.) That is not factoring a Jaeger excavating out a smaller building somewhat, before pushing out supports.

2 more AKP's enter the fray, the first scores a resounding hit directly in Wheezer chest entering the hole where the armor was earlier blasted away!
The second AKP unit 'tries' to fire but an oblivious member suffers stings from native Georgian fire ants when he blithely steps into a mound, causing him to swing his weapon wickedly endangering all around him other members fail to shoot scrambling not to be in front of the idiot waving hot death around like a conductors baton , fortunately Savannah's sub standard manufacturing saves the day the impact fuse refuses to prime when it impacts less than 5 feet away from launch point.
Wheezer's unarmored chest suffers a brutal mauling of a Major Chest Wound suffering 5 strikes and 3 vital wounds, the heart and both lungs suffer catastrophic damage!
Cat-3 Wheezer Defeated!

(OOC) NORMALLY, I spoiler Kaiju stats as I make looking at them a matter of choice. Not today! My battered pride *demands* if you can't let it live long enough to see it in battle, I invoke privileged to show you what -might- have been. 
'Wheezer' Category 3 Kaiju
A bipedal, lanky creature that appears a grotesque hybrid of a tiny eyed armadillo and a large eared sewer rat with a thick calloused leathery shell protecting its head, back, and hips, a long whip-like tail, and a pulsing amber sac over its throat. Its black leathery skin and shell glisten with a mucosal coating. Its exaggerated undersized forearms end in spindly grasping hands with bony denticals at the joints like organic brass knuckles.
Stats: 20/20
Hand to Hand: 3
Ranged: 5
Strength: 2
Toughness: 4
Agility: 5
(Mv: 8/16)
Dexterity: 1
Durability: 9
Structure: 13
Special: Echolocation- When Wheezer hits a target with its sonic screech, its next attack against that target gains a +2 bonus (Does not stack).
Special: Brawler - ignore the first 2 points over durability before taking universal penalties.
Weapons:
Prehensile Tail
Attack Dice: 1d10+1
Damage Type: Blunt
Damage Bonus: STR (2)
Armor Penetration: 0
Grappling Bonus: +3
Knuckle Sandwich
Attack Dice: 1d10+1
Damage Type: Blunt
Damage Bonus: STR (2)
Armor Penetration: 1 AAP
Grappling Bonus: +3
Sonic Screech
Attack Dice: 1d10+1 (-5 Dam)
Damage Type: Sonic
Damage Bonus: 0
Armor Penetration: 0
Range: 5/10/15
Sonic Blast Radius: 1 unit surrounding impact point (non-impact AoE suffer reduced damage -2)
Special for Sonic Screech:
Slow Charge: requires one round inhalation before becoming available (all hits shift 1 place towards neck to represent swollen throat sack until screech is released)
Debris Shotgun: If the terrain between Wheezer and its primary target is not flat or otherwise featureless the target is subjected to an additional 1d10 damage (impact with separate hit loc) from airborne debris. (Debris Shotgun benefits from Ranged Stat for purposes of 'to hit' only)
Imprecise: This attack cannot be used for called shots and cannot critically hit.
Armor
Oily Leathery Hide*
Armor Value: 2
Coverage: All but Head, Spine, Torso, Chest, and Pelvis
Resilience: +1 AV vs impact*
Durability: 5
Oily Calloused Leather Shell*
Armor Value: 3
Coverage: Head, Spine, Torso, Chest, Pelvis
Resilience: +1 AV vs impact*
Durability: 7
*Special Defensive Perk: Mucosal Slime - this fetid smelling organic coating is slippery, bordering on nearly frictionless, anyone attempting to grapple this beast suffers a -3 penalty to any activity performed while engaged in a grapple.
This mucous also acts as a colloidal gel, hardening and thickening in response to high velocity impacts.

The last of the AKP's, unwilling to break a winning streak takes careful aim, the RPG's slams straight into Sages spongy chest.
Sage suffers a Minor Wound taking 3 strikes! 1 vitals damage (heart wound) suffers 1 ongoing!
The M270's last remaining Thunderbolt streaks forth and impacts the spine!
Sage suffers a Minor Wound to the Spine taking 3 strikes! It takes another Universal -1 penalty! Spinal armor is destroyed! Sage is still stunned and loses his ability to respond this turn!
Thus Ends turn 2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coupe de grace time...
State of your troops: Cobras have expended their missiles and will need to use miniguns this point forward, M270 is out of ammo, Mammoth stands at 3 units away from Sage's stunned form. Sage may declare no defenses (dodge, block, parry) in his current state.
Propose a plan of action for next round, and begin the voting!

9+1=10, -2 AV Rubberized Spongy Hide, -1 resilience impact, -2 damage adjustment = 5 Minor Wound
Sage suffers a Minor Wound taking 3 strikes! 1 vitals damage (heart wound) suffers 1 ongoing!
The M270's last remaining Thunderbolt streaks forth and impacts the spine!
4+2=6, -2 AV Rubberized Spongy Hide reduce by -1 AAP = 5 Minor Wound
Sage suffers a Minor Wound to the Spine taking 3 strikes! It takes another Universal -1 penalty! Spinal armor is destroyed! Sage is still stunned and loses his ability to respond this turn!
Thus Ends turn 2.

@Smithsguild , If we wanted to capture Sage (for research) could we get containment up in time?
He is stunned, defenseless, and could prove invaluable for making our own shield technology. A 'working' model for study that can be vivisected on our schedule should improve our odds considerably.

I will allow it, -providing- it burns one action from your general actions from upcoming downtime.

So for 1 action & 3,000 R we get both large and small containment facilities and the hazardous high energy lab?
Our cash on hand is 4,445 R before kaiju cash and recurrent income (manufacturing, casino, oil conversion, cargo containers from Port Authority).
Sounds doable to me!!!
[ X ] Plan : More lab toys for good boys
Edit: above plan includes Mammoth choking Sage out while video taping it for morale purposes

2,700 R when Massarone applies his discount; but yeah that.
Seeing as how this is a quasi-downtime impacting plan, holding out for a normal council consensus rather than the expedited combat type. (Bigger lull to allow more council members to voice opinion.)
Let's give it until noon tomorrow EST?
