Faedium seems to synergize with both our stuff and the other two tech patch here. Faedium are good at power storage and conductivity, Fulgar are great power generation, and the Nanites, while power intensive, are tough and versatile...
Though as far as the trio goes, Faedium seems the one least needed for them and more useful out of the trio for us.

makes me wonder if Goemon Ishikawa XIII. would be able to kill a Kaiju?

Agreed. Im thinking we should aim for the following for Perseus:
- Centurion Combination: the tank would give much more durability, while the tank turret could be a shoulder turret. Probably specialize as an anti swarm fighter for fighting Westphalia and Free brothers. Probably build first since we already have the chassis we would want to use
- Artillery SPG Combination: A big gun for big targets. Anti Kaiju specialization.

"Sir, you have an incoming call!"
You glance up from the various reports filtering across your screen. The day had started quietly enough - wake up, coffee, and fifteen minutes of calm before the inevitable madness came sweeping through. Already, the engineers were making inquiring noises about the Faedium that Mary had brought onboard, and even Patch had caught some wind of it after having come by earlier alongside Cavalier.
There are days if you should get Wilde to actually put up one of his goofy signs advertising a refuge for mad scientists on the front gate. You then immediately discard the idea - it might actually work, and you'd rather adjust to Mary's particular blend of madness before you advertise bringing on even more.
"Thanks, Katarina," you say. "Who is it?"
"Major Jenkins. Should I put her through?"
"Oooh, right." Forge and Zhang should have arrived by now, haven't they? "Go ahead, put her through."
"Devin." Lenora's face appears in a console window on the corner. "Appreciate the assist...at least, I think I should be thanking you. I'm not so sure about that yet."
"They haven't burnt down Aberdeen already, have they?" you ask, only half-joking.
"Not yet. But Morgan's already losing his mind over Forge's nanites, and we're going to give it a test run by building the containment facility for Zhang's prototypes." She pauses, looking over some of the notes you passed along. "Are the nightmare things actually a thing?"
"As far as we can tell, yeah," you confirm. "Just don't tell him you know that part, he hasn't officially told us that yet."
"Feign ignorance and shock if or when it happens, got it. But if it works as advertised, that's going to solve a lot of our problems between Forge and Zhang."
"Anything interesting?"
"Forge and Morgan are already going over how to strengthen the prototype's skeletal frame, and we're going to test and see how feasible we can create one single power source to power the whole thing. No real clue what form that's going to take just yet, but you've turned my time schedule into a year rather than years."
"Happy to help," you answer honestly. "Just one word of caution?" When Lenora tilts her head at you inquisitively, you continue, "You can tell your experts what they shouldn't do, and you definitely should tell them what you want. But don't tell them how to do it, not in a micromanaging way. Let them come up with ideas on how to get to where you want them to go, pick what you like, and pray to heaven that it works."
"That's your playbook?"
"Didn't exactly have a 100% success rate all of the time," you admit. Some of the more unusual accidents from the Science and Engineering departments come to your mind unbidden - the K-Scale vat explosion, the near miss experience with Callaghan and the CRX prototype, and the recent K-Fang development cycle. "But reign them in when they're going a bit too far, and you should be fine."
"Should. Heh. Well, wish me luck - hopefully I actually get results now that I have something that could work."
As you close the link, you resolve to keep an eye on Jenkins' project. A tech swap down the road might be in the cards - but for the moment, she didn't have any tech to swap yet. You just had to give it time.

Xenotechnology Laboratories
For lack of a better place to put her for the moment, Sam and Max opened up a small wing in the Xenotechnology wing. What few assistants Mary has brought with her are already setting up her equipment, and various whiteboards are already being transcribed with her formulas.
"Major. Much appreciated." Mary emerges from behind one of the whiteboards, a marker in one hand and a thick stack of papers in the other. Aside from the DFRI logo pinned to her lab coat collar, she looks about as disheveled as she did a few days ago. You still can't see past her glasses, whose light seems to cast light wherever she stares. "Can actually go about testing. Experimenting." Her hand crunches parts of her notes, a rare smile breaking across her face. "Eager to get started."
"Glad to hear it," you comment. "If you need anything, you can always ask myself, or Sam and Max. But now that you're in the know...Ivanna?"
"Here, Major." Ivanna's avatar appears, and she smiles warmly towards Mary. "Dr. McCullough, a pleasure to meet you! I'm Ivanna - I'm the Artificial Intelligence in charge of assisting research and development."
"A.I.? Sentient even? Intriguing." Mary looks at Ivanna for a moment, before nodding back. "Pleasure to meet you. Will have lots of inquiries and requests to run calculations soon."
"Of course! Just let me know - and, um, do please update your security files when you can, or-"
"Ivaaaaannaaaaa~!" Adriana's avatar rushes out, and tries to tackle Ivanna - only for the avatar to sidestep the digital missile. "That's my job!"
Mary blinks, then turns towards you. "Common occurrence?" she asks pointedly.
You just wearily nod.
"Curious." The small smile on Mary's face grows just a tiny amount. "What next? Friendly Kausen?"
"...about...that..."

Operation: Ground Pound development kickstarted with Victor Forge and Zhang Ru.
Major Devin will check back in with them in approximately six turns.

I'm not all to mad we only got Mary mostly because Ground Pound does need the help and since they are literally part of the EU we are on the same team so are bound to share all of our research with each other/ Really we're there Big Brother helping them along as they catch up!
I also like Mary because she shares my last name so I'm biased!

Nah that's how you get a Mad Science Singularity. Instead they need to inform us of various secret projects, then trickle in various mad scientists so we can point them at projects that will actually work well with their work.

Six turns is a long time. I can only imagine what happens until then.
"So, Im back, whats new? Short version please."
"The Nightmare Demon Baby made out of nanomachines we created is calling me mom."
"...Okay, long version please."

please write that scene, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!
Wait I thought Galbinus was the one who could turn into a Tank? If not that, than what can he turn into.
