Twister doesn't stand a chance. Sliced apart, the kaiju practically disintegrates, the Breach signature snuffing out.
Twister takes 10 Strikes!
SE-26-019 "Twister" Defeated!
Tacit's arms whirr, and the blades retract.
"Yeah, definitely disgusting."

Even as Tacit Ronin washes off its forearms in the water, cleanup crews are arriving. There's a nasty dent in its gut, but that's about it.
Tacit Ronin will require 1 action and 50 R to repair!
The fangblades' performance has been astounding, and Noah seems to have a new technique to take advantage of it.
New Perk!
- Lightning Strike: Once per battle, Tacit may combine an attack with the Fangblades into a single attack (2d10 rather than 2x 1d10).
Lightning Strike is essentially a 1-time-use 'fuck ALL your shit' attack for when you want to rip a kaiju in half, consequences be damned.
The two-- or rather, thirty five-- kaiju are... odd. Polyp seems incredibly toxic, with the sort of ammonia levels that are usually only in the brain. Twister... your scientists don't know how it was making that Breach. The closest they've got is a similar setup to the platinum-uranium alloy combination. Another interesting thing is the neural links between Twister's brain and those of its Spawn. It almost seems like they'd receive commands from it...

Because, again, there's a low, low chance this will be the only time we want to defend our base against units that are not Kaiju, Jaegers, Kaigers, etc. Even if the "Conventionals" are eye-searing sins against basic geometry and biology, if they're tiny we need some walls!
I like walls. Walls are pretty.

Can we upgrade city things multiple ranks in one go?
It's also likely to set us up for if/when we get around to developing defensive emplacements for long-range Railguns (or lightning guns) by giving us a place to put those things.

I think we can do that next turn, I want scanners that can reliably see the shits coming first.
We get the scanners and comms up this round, get the resupply squads so our conventionals don't suddenly run out of ammo, then next turn we focus on upping the defense perimeter and pumping out some more conventionals.

Right. Decorations are what really make your home homey!
(I generally tend toward supporting both a strong defense, and a holistic/generalist approach. For whatever that's worth.)

Yeah, but it'll get progressively more expensive.
Let's say you have a new city, 0 in all stats, and 3000 R to spend. First things first, you'll need some population. But 1 Population is pretty useless. So let's say you want 3. For a single action, you could spend 500 to boost to Pop 1, then 1000 to Pop 2, and finally 1500 to Pop 3. It uses up a lot of R, but it gives you lots of good stuff.

I assume that each cost is on top of the previous one?
good to know.
To date, running out of ammo really hasn't been a major problem for anything other than the Helicopters, and even then, it's been rare.
Short term, building more choppers will largely take care of that particular problem (and give us more missiles to shoot at once, to boot!), and long term, we can try to research upgrades to the resupply squads so that they're more than just one-and-done per battle before building them.
