I guessed as much. Well, back to the old and reliable solution of shooting and stabbing at the Kaiju until it stops moving.

I think everyone was kinda baffled about Waltz... Everything, actually.
Do we still have the weird bullet he fired in the ground? Can we do Science™ to it?

Yes and yes (I'll add it to your inventory), but someone specific had said that they had a question about Waltz that they'd ask during the downtime.

That'll be...
1d10-1 for Elite tanks
1d10-1 for Tanks
6x 1d10-1 for Arty
3x 1d10 for Hellhounds
And a bunch of hit locations (Elites and Hellhounds hit on 4+, normals and arty on 5+)

Hai!
Well, the non-elite tanks did really bad, but the exploding elites did amazing.
Rolling for location.
So, Normal Tank: 0 on 12; Elite Tank: 18 on 9
EDIT: nobody else is here yet, so the rolls keep coming!
Looks like one Hellhound missed the cutoff. Locations!
Bleh... So: 4/9, 5/3, and 3/5

Tacit Ronin drops down, before the air fills with the roar of an army.
Several tanks' barrels immediately shatter into pieces as shells detonate inside the guns, while several missiles fly off target, and one artillery team runs dry.
Type 100 squadron out of ammo!
All Hellhounds out of Missiles!
T-95 team out of ammo!
However, the rest of the firing is on point, shells exploding against the kaiju's skin, though the effect is minimal.
No damage!
Keeping a cool head, the commander of the elite Type 100s orders their guns to open fire on the spine. As one, six cannons fire in rapid succession, ripping through vertebrae and neural tissue! A moment later, a pair of missiles slam into the exposed wound, cauterizing the bloody mess to a crisp.
Gorgon takes 6 Strikes! +3 Ongoing! Spinal armour destroyed! Gorgon is paralyzed!
With a surprised squawk, Gorgon crumples like a tin can, crashing to the ground. Sheepishly, Tacit Ronin rises to its feet, and steps forwards a few hundred meters.
Goddammit Gorgon, you're supposed to be scary.
What do you do now?

Tacit Ronin lopes forwards, reaching Gorgon swiftly. The pale jaeger reaches down... And snaps the kaiju's neck.
SE-26-013, "Gorgon" Defeated!
[---]
The aftermath of the battle is substandard. Tacit took no damage, and there's nothing that needs fixing or cleaning, due to the clean wounds.
Gorgon's heat-emitting spots are examined, and found to be something akin to rocket batteries, each projectile presumably propelled by hydrogen, and guided by a touch of neural tissue-- making Gorgon the second kaiju (or kaiju-like organism) to show some sort of psycho-communication ability.
Overall, this was far easier than expected.

Don't we still need to build that Kaiju prison, or did I miss when we did that?

That's a good point. Right now, Palisade's just lying unconscious on its back out a few kilos from the city

Yeah, I'm kind of embarrassed that you're completely overlooking what is arguably the most important thing to deal with right now. That's kind of a really, really big deal to just go and forget like that.
I'm also going to assume that we can lock up Palisade in our new containment facility for free.

Yes, yes you can. In fact, you're basically just building the Facility around Palisade, unless you have a better idea of where to place it (Mercer Island is nice and close to Seattle, so I'm not sure why you'd put him anywhere else)
