Nothing a little Kaiju Blood won't wash off, I'm sure.

It's also corrosive, so it should be good enough to strip the rust off. And a few more layers of steel as well for good measure.

The SDF scrambles into action, rolling out their forces to a ready distance. The two jaegers wait a few hundred meters in front of them, standing at the ready. Inside Tacit Ronin, Ashley and Maria breathe deeply. It's been a while since they Drifted with each other, but it's comforting nonetheless, especially when facing down two kaiju.
Speaking of which...
A little under three kilometres away, Alaska and Texas plow forwards. The former is semi-quadrupedal, walking on its mid and rear limbs, while its small forelimbs are held to its chest. Each of the larger limbs it tipped on the joint with a bone spike, angled to pass down the length of the limb. Its head features two large horns curving forwards like a bull's.
The other one, Texas, is immediately obvious in its focus. All six limbs are planted on the ground, and its spike-tipped head is held low. On its back are two large... turrets. That's the only word that really works to describe the double barreled protrusions. Furthermore, Texas's tail is long and mobile, ending in a strange orifice.
The two are there, each carrying a great weight to their presence as they slowly close in.
Alaska and Texas are 26/30 units from Tacit and Jagdhund, and 31/35 units from the other forces.
I cannot into describing kaijus right now. Or writing these scenes. God, that's awkward.

I guess people are still feeling lazy and/or rusty. Maybe things will pick up when we start rolling the dice?

That'll be 2x 1d10+3, each hitting on a total of 7+, and a hit location for each hit.
Additionally, we're not using Killbles' most recent changes. I like my Agi-boosting thrusters, thank you very much!

Back Thrusters just add more dice stuff, no Agi boost.
Ah, classic comedic master Tacit RNG, how I've missed you.

Jagdhund opens fire, but Texas is faster than it seems, and the shots just barely miss it. The kaiju leers back, hisses, and dismisses Jagdhund's failure, leveling its turrets at the closer jaeger, and opening fire!
Roll a 1d10+3 to Dodge the shots!
Alaska lunges forwards, warbling a war cry-- and coming into the Heimdal's range!
1d10+2 for the Heimdal, hitting on a 7+!
Alaska and Texas are 10/20 units from Tacit, 20/30 from Jagdhund, 21/31 units from the tanks, 15/26 from the air force, and 25/36 from other forces.

Tacit Ronin dances to the side, ducking away from the blasts-- only for Texas to adjust its aim, and sheer through the jaeger's arm! The superalloy fails, the repeated blasts fragmenting it and tearing through the joint!
Tacit Ronin takes 5 Strikes! +3 Ongoing! -3 HtH, -3 Dex! R. Shoulder armour destroyed!
Meanwhile, the massive railgun spits out a shot-- only for it to bounce off Alaska's reinforced spine.
(2)
Alaska rears up on its hind legs, spikes sliding out of its midarms-- before slamming back down into the ground, and firing the spikes down the length of the limbs! The ground shakes, a massive tremor running through it-- but petering out before it reaches Tacit.
Alaska and Texas are 10/20 units from Tacit, 20/30 from Jagdhund, 21/31 units from the tanks, 15/26 from the air force, and 25/36 from other forces.
Dat attack roll...

The armour more or less halved the final damage-- so I guess it was useful? I mean, Impact doesn't have a low Destruction threshold or anything, really.

Their way. The Heimdal doesn't possess a GUNDAM/ANGEL operating system, and so has no potential for sentience. It's also piloted by more than one person.

... I must admit, Bolo!Heimdal sounds tempting, but for now we're on giant robots.
Uh... holding action and try to focus fire on the bastard with what we have? So far, Texas is turning out to be the most dangerous of the duo. No idea what Alaska might be able to do. though.

I'm half tempted to press the attack with Tacit, but those stat maluses are murder on him.
At least she can still dodge and once she gets in melee range she should be somewhat safe from fire from the other Kaiju, but her offensive power is pretty much shot and those strikes are going to cause trouble.
After this, I'm going to press for researching Macross Missile packs and a point or two of RAN so Tacit can use them. With Argus compatibility too, for good measure.
Are all our forces in range? If so, then let's tag them with the Argus and unleash hell, while Tacit retreats until she fixes those strikes. If not, then move them into range and fire ASAP.
