[X] Everyone fire Everything Again. Let's see how this Kaiju likes Touhou.
-[X] And when I say everything I mean everything. Fire all those lasers Tacit.
-[X] And Jagdhund fires bursts this time.
Plan Tohou/shoot the problem until it's no longer a problem

Let's see if my Laser Guided Luck still holds.

I would've rolled the missiles but my computer crapped out on me, sorry.

Again, the navy and airforce open fire, though the latter is hampered by the water.
2 Arges hits!
The scouts try to lock on, though only a few manage before the others fire. The navy's torpedoes home in again, as micromissiles and lasers punch down from above.
Hunchback takes 4 Strikes! Hunchback is losing stamina!
The water provides little protection, much to the kaiju's misfortune. Warheads detonate against its head, while lasers superheat points across its body.
Then Tacit Ronin plants its feet, its four laser ports still open. Cables shunt power flow from one junction to another, building up enough energy to the point where its weapons can just break through the refraction.
"Now! BLAZING, RONIN... BEAM!!"
The water around Tacit's emitters heats to a boil in seconds, as four shimmering beams of light erupt from the lasers, each one cycling around the multitude of lenses in mere instants to lay out a constant stream of energy. The beams slam into the kaiju's left side, before the overwhelming energy liquefies flesh and bone, and breaks out the other side. Hunchback lets out a gurgling howl as its arm detaches-- before Tacit turns left by a few degrees, and burns through its nervous system.
Hunchback takes 7 Strikes!
SE-26-048, "Hunchback" Defeated!
The Vulcans shut off, one emitter going completely dark as it burns through its fuses. Hunchback slowly falls to the sea floor, its wounds still glowing with heat. Jagdhund lowers her rifle, while the military looks on.

I'm okay with this.
[---]
The jaegers, as expected, are in tip-top shape. Hunchback didn't even touch 'em. To Ashley's mortification, her super-robot-esque screaming features prominently in the following tapes. Noah seems to like it, though.
Morale improves to Enthusiastic! +50% Manufacturing bonus!
Hunchback itself is, to the surprise of nobody, nothing special. A minor echolocative ability seems tied to its spinal spikes, but nothing else is really unique.
And that's... really it.
It is now downtime.
Kaiju stats:
SE-26-048
Hunchback
Class: Category III Kaiju
Hunchback is curled and hunched, with a reptilian appearance. Its back features a row of brittle looking spines, leading to a bullet shaped head. The kaiju's skin is blue and leathery, sort of like a crocodile's, while the spines are bone white.

Pick as many actions as you have Population (10), along with a Communications, Breach Research, 2 Jaeger Research actions, and 1 free J-Recycling action, and 5 free units from the MPFs.
5 Weeks until Noah can be fielded again. You can't launch an Oblivion Bay retrieval squad yet-- that'll need more research if/when you choose to do so.

We do deserve to exist.
Just getting into the quest now, and it's amazing.
So, what's been the short-term and long-term plans of what we're trying to do?

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I can almost see the dramatic pose with glowing eyes while the enemy explodes is the background.
Much of that increased manufacturing capacity goes into the production of the new Perfect Grade Tacit Ronin miniatures, with functional lasers and a voicebox to play various recordings of Ashley screaming Super Robot Attack Names and catchphrases recorded by the Ranger herself.
Welcome!
Our short-term plans include making Breach-closing bombs, researching more Magic and figuring out which research gets the bonus token: Hammerspace or Jaeger flight? Long term plans include shutting down breaches and getting even more Super Robot Bullshit to better kill Kaiju with. Getting anther Jaeger lies somewhere in the mid-term, but closer to short- than to the long-term.

still want my railgun research btw.

Magic's a proven thing for this Quest? Cool.
Also, are there any plans to either improve the Heimdall or get more ground vehicles? One of my greatest disappointments in Jaeger Quests has been relatively few numbers of Anti-Kaiju Tanks.

Our conventionals tend to swing wildly between "upstaging the Jaegers" and "what are we here for again?" at times. I definitely prefer when they're in one of the former phases.

I want one.
Also... assuming that's 1/60th scale like other PGs, that's... just about 1.25 metres tall. Jeeze.
Gonna be limited to "LIGHTNING... STRIKE!!" and "BLAZING, RONIN... BEAM!!" since Ronin hasn't really unleashed that many Super Robot Attacks.
Breach!Magic is proven. You guys are now looking into Magic!Magic. Your team has actually gotten a hint of progress on it.

Our long-term plan is to drop nukes through the breeches.
Short term plan is to get better stuff.
Awesome, right? I know I want one.
And here's the first draft of a plan. Not complete, it needs a comms action.
-[] ???? (Free Comm Action)
(Not sure what to do here)
-[] Recycle x9 Solid Iron plating (Free recycling action)
-[] Research Breach Gate Technology. (Safe research mode!) (Free Breach Research)
-[] Research Helios Heavy Fusion Stellarator refinement, including ironing out the weaknesses (shielding especially), making it compatible with lower-MK Jaegers in addition to MK IV Jaegers, and improved design efficiency to reduce its overall cost. (Free Jaeger Research 1)
-[] Research Tacit Ronin HtH*20 (Free Jaeger Research 2) (400RUs)
-[] Build 5*Banshee Helicopter Squadrons (Free Construction Action)
-[] Research 'Breach Buster' Anti-Breach device
-[] Research Magic. As in real, genuine, frakkin' reality-warping Magic.
-[] Research Fragmentation Slicers to downscale their effective operational size and increase energy efficiency.
(Fangbladessss)
-[] Research Energy Shielding safety
(Would reduce the overload damage)
-[] Research improved ARGES
(Let's see if we can get a +3 bonus)
-[] Research Installation of RX-11 onto the Murasame
-[] Research Jaeger-scale flight with Ascelon token
(I think if we plan to have mini-Jaegers this is a good tech to get)
-[] Research Breach Storage (Safe Research Mode)
-[] Build ANGEL-Net Transmitter (2000 RUs)
-[] Build J-Tech Lab (1000 RUs)

We do deserve to exist.
We could send feelers out to see if there are any smaller survivor communities or isolated military stockpiles or units around.

[ ] Normal Actions:
-[] Research: BRFS Fangblade Design
-[] Research: Hypercompact Fusion Reactors
-[] Research: Improved Railgun Design
-[] Research: Jaeger Flight Systems
-[] Continue Research: Actual Magical Magic.
-[] Research: Less Expensive Helios Heavy Fusion Stellarator
-[] Research: Physical Shield housing the Variable Barrier Shield Generator.

[ ] Free Actions
-[] Improve Tacit Ronin's HtH (20 rolls)
-[] Improve Jagdhund's AGI (20 rolls)
-[] Research: Breach Storage
-[] Comms: Scout the area searching for Kaiju or other things of interest.
-[] J-Recycling
-[] Build (5) Free Conventional Units
I can't think of anything else I really want for now, so here's what I'm after. The cheaper Stellarator will be necessary sooner rather than later, considering Tacit is just one point away from the Cap and Jagdhund isn't far behind. Speaking of that, she could use better defenses, thus the investment in AGI.
The Hypercompact Reactors are for all those fun things that would require too much energy to field without a Jaeger, like the Shield Conventional/Superheavy. Speaking of Supeheavies, I'm tempted to research the "Mini" Mecha sooner rather than later, but I'm sure we have better things to invest in right now. Like more stats for the Jaegers.
Railguns, because the Heimdal could use some more punch. Jaeger Flight, because it's my pet project and I've already explained why it's actually a very good idea. Hammerspace, because I agree with Jawa that it's a very good idea as well. The shield thing because I still have spaces left over in this plan draft and I still think it's a neat idea. I'm open to dropping for whatever other good idea appears.
Finally, the Comms action to fly around looking for shiny things and/or optional enemies because I had no idea what else to use it for.
And by the way, here's a handy template to help organize plans.
