Holy shit Highwind, I think Tacit just unscrewed Alto's head like a bottle cap.

We destroyed the armor on Euph's spine when we tossed it so... does that change anything?

I got the submission hold already, though it was a 2 so not much better.

Phenom's HtH ltes him shift the Hit Location of Breaks up to four locations to a place of our choosing. Euphonium's spine is toast.

You can't imagine how difficult it is to not make a joke about Euphonium being spineless.That's no spine! Its a giant bag of Pop RocksTM!

It's with wordless agreement that the two halves of Tacit Ronin come to consensus-- it's time to end this. The jaeger forces one hand up, right under the kaiju's mandible, and flexes. With a wet crack, Alto's head jerks back at an obscene angle, the shattered occipital bone having torn straight through her brain stem.
Successful Break to Spine and Head!
Alto takes 6 Strikes! Extra Brain damage inflicted!
SE-27-014 "Alto" Defeated!
Tension bleeds out of Tacit's limbs as the kaiju stops completely, the momentary battle-fury that shrouded them finally disappearing with the death of their foe. The jaeger's chest lets out a shuddering sigh, as steam swirls from their cooling vents.
Euphonium doesn't get a chance to fight back. Despite the kaiju's great size and vigorous thrashing, the injury to its spine is already slowing it down-- and any weakness against Phenom Sable is an opportunity that the jaeger will capitalize on. Holding tight with one enormous hand, the black jaeger digs into the exposed flesh of the kaiju's back, slicing through musculature and fat with its progressive talons. Its true hand finds something hard, and grabs hold.
And then Phenom Sable ripped Euphonium's secondary brain out, followed by several large chunks of spinal cord.
"Guess he wasn't as spineless as he seemed," Kanji quips.
Successful Break to Spine!
Euphonium takes 5 Strikes! Euphonium is Paralyzed!
Despite the resilience of the rest of its body, Euphonium doesn't survive much longer.
SE-27-012 "Euphonium" Defeated!
The kaiju are all dead. The city is pretty badly trashed. The Protectorate's forces are battered and reduced.
But as the jaegers turn back to each other, there's still technically one last thing to address-- the ones who called them here in the first place; KRAUN Outpost MICHAEL.
I guess now would be the time to... talk to the MICHAEL forces? I'll be honest, I haven't actually figured this part out much. Really, I'd be fine with you just throwing out a well-wishes and farewell, and then leaving.
Also, technically you just barely failed to inflict Destruction Wounds on both of them. Phenom would have needed to deal 25 points thanks to Cat IV rules, and only managed 21 (Cat IV rules give that minimum 1 AV). Tacit was literally one point short. But even so, Paralysis basically means death if you don't have backup, and the brain damage for Alto would have killed her off in one round anyways.

PREY SLAUGHTERED
A job well done, Tacit. Very well done.
PREY SLAUGH--
Goddammit, Kanji! :lol
Time for diplomacy!
[X] Greet the forces of the Outpost, ask if there's any matter that requires immediate attention and if our forces can assist in any way.
Sooo, with paralysis inflicted couldn't we have kept Euphonium around to poke and prod at? I know it was a Cat IV, but paralysis seems pretty ideal for keeping a Kaiju sedate. It also looked like the other three were somewhat related to it, so we might have gotten Kaiju reproductive cells out of Euph, which we need for BioJaegers.

We can only contain Cat IIs in our facility but we can still totally harvest the corpses of everything we killed.
Siege Cannon come to meeeeeeee~
I mean... It is paralysed. Containment... isn't really an issue, or is it? Or is this about radioactivity?

It think its part an issue of, Kaiju can heal, radioactivity, and sheer size. The question of, "Where do we put the thing?" is the issue.

I support a controlled vivisection of Euphonium to best understand the siege cannon mechanism.
We could use our own to counter future siege style attacks.
-----edit
Seattle needs antisiege weaponry.

It's about "our facilities aren't made to hold something much bigger and exponentially more toxic and radioactive than a Cat 2, so we have to research how to make them bigger".
Also, we get those Resources and hopefully a Token from this .
There are also the merits of having a really, really big cannon to consider.

I'm trying hard to understand the rules mechanics and am really unsure about how you determine if Fire/Acid sticks to a target.
If someone else has a good understanding and cares to jump in and save Fyr the explanation that would be great.

IIRC you look at how much damage each attack dealt, then roll a d10. The Fire and/or Acid effect sticks if the dice rolls below the damage number.
For example:
Attack 1: deals 5 damage. D10 result is 4. Effect sticks.
Attack 2: deals 9 damage. D10 result is 10. Doesn't stick.
