[X] Damage Repair Crews. If you can find some of the grease monkeys that haven't evacuated yet, they may be willing to stay behind and fix up some of the damage the facilities takes. They're not Lazarus, though, so if something exploded, that's not coming back.
How much bigger is the Kaiju compared to the Beowulf?

Repair is 50% chance of 2 damage only the turn damage is taken and it doesn't let you repair past 5hp increments. Meh. Best way to deal with this thing is kill it faster, not hope to tank it.

You'll see.
And honestly, you really should be asking from the basis of the Timberwolf, which comes closer to it height-wise.

Wow, such a thoughtful response.
There's diversity and then there's what should be recognized as "shamelessly enforced agendas", but this is not the place to discuss this, nor you would listen anyway.
So, not-Hell is using alien machinery that he found somewhere. Interesting to know, as well as confirmation as more enemy parties incoming.
I see that Sheol literally builds deep-seated rage against not-Mazinger inside the kaijus' dna, even though it will not be its primary adversary in the incoming fight.
So, was I wrong with the fact that we would be spending all of our budget to improve the Perseus for this last-minute update, thus spending 2 extra RP besides all other points?
Also, @Basarin , is the Perseus piloted by a single person? The original IFV model implied it was manipulated by a crew of people. Just to know if Tellison's bonus will apply.
Damn right.
Why haven't we asked Setsuna about it so far?
Chances are they don't though, or at least not as often.
Someone is going to be demoted.
Wait, does that mean that we lose the moment the HP reaches 55 or less, or do we win as long as it has above 5 hp once the battle is over?
Can we decide whether to use this attack or not for alpha strike purposes? How many dice does it roll?

The Perseus is streamlined for one person, yes. This is only made possible by the MMI (even more so with the K-Suit).
Later on, you can install a new AI Personality into the Perseus; it will effectively become the Perseus, but also work in tandem with Tellison.
What I mean is this:
Every time it drops by 5 HP, SOMETHING is going to blow up. That's going to have narrative consequences to the wider quest as far as the Pacific is concerned.
So if it drops to 55 HP and lower, something blows up. (Such as, say, a large chunk of the drydock or a munitions depot). But if that's all that happens, then hey, could have been worse.
But if it drops to 50 HP, something ELSE is going to blow up. And so on. And so on. The more damage you take, the worse the situation is going to be after the fight's done.
This vote I'll leave up until the evening.

I suppose that using MMI with multiple people will require way more research then, right?
Is it possible to repurpose the AI we already have somehow? Had we known it would be stuck into a generic Jackal, many people would have chosen to install it into something else, like the Beowulf itself or the Perseus.

We're here to limit damage until we can double team it with two super robots.

His spite is to our benefit. Think of how easy it is to divert the Kaijiu with a drone designed to do nothing but look like Mercury and carry all the armor/forcefields.

I thought it was a given though.

To be fair, he is in the frame he's in because I recall some folks wanted Banner to peacefully integrate first before sending him to battle.
You can 'upgrade' him sure. But that will be its own build project.

I see it as an opportunity to test some radically different tech trees on a Jackal frame without disturbing the Beowolf. Or paint Beowolf, Cavalier and Ichiro the same colour and play a combat shell game. Or some other Tactical Opportunities that aren't apparent yet.

Also, I slightly regret missing a chance to vote for his frame. My suggestion would have been to assign him a Steed. Sorry for double-post.

@Basarin, I know you and some of the other posters have talked about this quest like it was an anime in some other universe.
Allow me to contribute my $0.02. I think the DFRI is looking like a spin-off of the Kausen show.
I mean think about it. The Kausen show probably started out with their arrival to Earth, and there's a story arc where Cavalier meets a friendly human.
During the show, there's mentions of some government organization creating their own fighting robots. It just sees to be window dressing at first...
And then Callaghan goes and suplexes Bandit with his transforming robot. Afterwards, the DFRI become allies of Legio Galbanus.
I'm imagining that fans were so receptive, that the DRFI gets it's own spin-off series, with what we've seen in the quest so far being, as noted by others, prequel material.

I can dig it. You'd also have to reckon that the same production studio is also making Mercury V and Valiant.

He's Blues/Rock before being converted in Rockman basically.
TBH this fight is either the first episode, or far more likely, the end fight of the OVA.
Think about it, up to now we fought against two of the three big threats and killed Warlord (who is perfect for important posthumous background character). Now the final fight is against both Sheol's Kaiju who are the most visually threatening enemies and a B-fight against Westphalians with backup from the Legion (AKA Kausen presence); meaning that all current big franchises are in the fight.

Speaking of which, what is the Valiant show based off of, if anything? I mean, Mercury V is a reskinned Mazinger Z, the Kausen are reskinned transformers, and the DFRI is increasingly becoming the organization who's name I can't remember from GaoGaiGar. But Valiant's part seems weirdly...original.
