[X]Vortex Group
-[X]JH with Rifle and Axe, all Mortar teams, AKBs, all non-elite Tanks and Artillery, 2 Scouts, and the Gunboats if we can engage close enough to shore, 2 Field Resupply Squads
[X]Telson Group
-[X]TR, Heimdall, the 2 Elite tanks and 1 Elite Artillery, the rest of the Airforce, and 1 FRS
No time is wasted. It's decided that, alongside Tacit Ronin, the hard-hitters and airforce will deal with the faster and more armoured kaiju. Meanwhile, those with the ability to deal with large nummbers will take on the Category IV and its retinue of spawn.

[X] Vortex Group:
-[X] Deploy near the shore around Kingston, roughly 100 units away from the perimeter adjust exact positioning as the Kaiju arrives to ensure it is intercepted.
- Vortex group
With its position and course identified, it's easy to set up a defensive line to catch the kaiju before it makes landfall. The remainder of Neo-Seattle's ground forces (save the elites) take their stand, determined to avenge their fallen comrades. Ahead of them, the two gunboats sit, arming their weapons, as the scouts circle above. Of course, most obvious of all is Jagdhund, standing tall and imposing in the shallow water.
Out in the water, more than six kilometres away, the kaiju comes.
It's not even trying to hide. Vortex is half submerged, swimming forwards like a sickly white submarine. Tentacles and a set of stumpy legs kick and thrash at the water, propelling the beast forwards. Along its spine are a trio of tubes, folded flat against the flesh. However, the most different thing is the head. Whereas other kaiju with this body type have had beaks, Vortex has a helmet, curved and shiny black.
In the water around it, things thrash. Shaped like maggots, but bigger than tanks, each Spawn is clearly related to the larger one-- each sporting both tentacles and a bony mask. If they get close enough, they'd surely tear the soldiers to shreds, but it's possible they have something else up their sleeves.
Vortex is 70 units from your ground conventionals, and 65 from your others (scouts, boats, giant robot). Its spawn are all around it, extending about five units in front. Scanners read approximately sixty Category Zeros make up the swarm.

[X] Telson Group
-[X] Deploy just past the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, straight to the south.
- Telson group
What few people stayed at the airport after the recent city growth are swiftly evacuated, as the forces set up. Tacit Ronin strides forwards, its pilots ready for a fight. The HEEM-2 locks down, funneling power to its massive railgun.
Telson lopes forwards on two developed legs, a short tail balancing it out. The kaiju's upper half is heavily armoured, covered in a segmented carapace. Its head is small, little more than a hump of flesh with eyes and mandibles. Its arms, however...
The upper pair is even more protected, large shields replacing its hands and extending past its elbows. The lower pair are weapons, an utterly massive set of lances that seem to sit on some sort of sliding rail attachment.
Even as this new foe closes in, the elite forces of Neo-Seattle stand ready.
Telson is 40 units from your forces.
Time to do stuff.
