Gipsy Danger is an impressive Jager with a solid history, but the Kaiju aren't patching themselves up and coming at us again, they striking harder each time.

Very well. You disassemble Gypsy Danger, installing the plasma caster on Cherno Alpha, the Pulse Caster on Striker Eureka, and the chain swords on Crimson Typhoon. All other parts are set aside for repairs. One day until next Kaiju incursion. Japan sends a donation of 2.3 million USD to the Jaeger Project. Current funds sits at 13.4 million USD, a mere fraction of funding when under command of the PPDC.

Are there parts of any other Jaegers we can use?

Let's continue training backup pilots in case something happens to the three remaining Jeagers.

We just killed the main character.

Congratulations /tg/, you have surpassed all expectations.

Why didn't humanity just construct more plasma weapons if it work so well against Kaiju?

>>26143988
Because Ultramen need to decide to come to earth to help, and then bond/disguise themselves as a human and don't like being public with their identity.
Godzilla just sorta hangs out in Japan's ocean until he feels like wreckin' shit or someone steps in on his turf, then shows up and smacks a bitch.

>>26143979
Sell off the Jaeger's services, don't do any charity though.

Use the money to build bigass guns that we can drop down by the rift and spawnkill things with.

>>26143900
Moychandising!
Get some studios in Japan on the phone, see if they're interested in the rights to our (Stacker Pentecost's, that is) life story. It's got drama, giant robots stomping Kaiju, everything you could want for a mecha series!
Start selling Jaeger action figures. LOTS of Jaeger action figures.
License Jaeger Lego sets.
That kind of thing.

We could also hire out jaegers for publicity events, it's not "Clean" but it'll net in cash.

We could also do corporation sponsors, and set up some sort of ultra pay-per-view jaeger vs kaiju fights

Because every time a Jaeger was destroyed it made Godzilla stronger. And when you're making an unstoppable Kaiju stronger, then you need to change your plans.

>>26144096
Very well. Jaeger's no longer move to defend, they move to make money. You provide every nation in the world, as well as the United Nations with a hotline, and charge 50 million (good amount?) for Kaiju removal.

>>26144167

Sensors indicate a Kaiju incursion from the rift. A single Class 4 Kaiju is rapidly approaching Japan. It impacts the wall and beings the attack. Conventional naval and air power is deployed to slow it's attack.

Swords cause a LOT of Kaiju Blue to be released, which is worse for the environment than being next to a nuke going off.

Genre convention, it's a fucking Super Robot movie, and as a rule, in Super Robot series, the heroes NEVER use their trump card until their back is completely against the wall.

Also, everyone seems to assume that I'm going to follow the movie storyline. We've already deviated dramatically. Quite simply, it's not going to follow the set plot from Pacific Rim. It's merely a starting point. I'm not going to have the world end in a few weeks if you don't do something, i'm going to have an apocalyptic war of humanities survival play out. It's in your hands. I didn't want to do it mid war or even early war because of general lack of info, and this provides a greater challenge. Give it a shot. If you don't like it, don't participate.

Has anyone tried using poison on them? There are poisons on earth that will kill an elephant with less than a drop of it, surely a liter or two would kill a kaiju

Hell, you could even have long range missiles outfitted to deliver the poison, by the time it reaches the wall they could be dead or severely weakened.

>>26144053

I wondered this exact thing. Conventional forces are proven effective, if not slow, at killing kaiju. For the same price as a Jaeger, we could have 40+ Plasma Canon tanks ready to fight in a month's time. More than enough to kill any kaiju that shows up, I'll bet.

Mind you, I love mechs, but the Jaegers are just wasteful when you know you can kill them with tanks. Hell, build a satellite defense system with some Rods from God and we can play Vlad the Impaler with their silly invading asses.

>>26144448
If we're moving in to japan, keep an eye out for Godzilla. This is his territory, and I'm pretty sure that if we end up in a crossover movie, Godzilla's buddy is the one who ends up dead/wrecked.
It happened to Mothra, It happened to Rodan, It happened to Mogera.
Also, no trying to kill Godzilla if he shows up. Then you just end up double dead.

>>26144716
The movie uses a 'miracle mile' scenario every time where the kaiju are always in water shallow enough to wade in before they hit land. Thus, we pin then to the pacific seafloor and send a bomber to saturate the damn thing with thermite bombs.

Sorry, but when a tactic is superior, it just is. Deal with it.

Crimson Typhoon ducks in to deliver a blast from the Plasma Caster to the Kaiju, while Cherno Alpha powers up its Tesla fists for backup. Maw pounces as the plasma blast is fired, grazing it, but not taking it down. Its momentum causes it to impact, slamming into Crimson Typhoon. The Jaeger stumbles back, but regains balance, slamming its fists into the invader repeatedly, throwing if off. The Kaiju recovers and tail whips Typhoon, breaching the outer armor and causing it to stumble back. Cherno Alpha steps in, slamming a 415kv fist into the Maw's head, eliciting a screech of pain and confusion. The creature topples, and Cherno begins pummeling it with it's tesla fists. After a few minutes, it's all over. The twitching Kaiju is finished off with a few plasma rounds to the head by Crimson Typhoon. The Jaegers return home, with Typhoon having sustained significant damage, but is still fully functional. You begin to research possible alternatives, such as poison, and Rod of God technologies, but you stonewall. It would appear the PPDC is angry over you cutting all final ties with them and forming a merc group. They have imposed sanctions on you, and ordered a return of 'their' Jaegers. Other world news:
Hurricane forming in south Atlantic. Tensions rising between the Eurozone and Middle East over oil rights, tectonic warnings in the Atlantic ocean, Canada begins production of its own independent Jaeger, codename 'Maple Fury'

Stop thinking hard science. It doesn't apply here. We are in the land of old-school mecha shows, where the bad guys are assholes, the heroes are heroic, and the science is questionable at best.
That's just the way it is.
If you didn't grow up with these shows, you might not "get it", but that's not a flaw of the film, as it is exactly what it set out to be. A cinematic love letter to those old shows.
Also, maybe if you didn't come off as an arrogant prick (really, you're calling yourself "common sense", just going "nuh-uh" when people point out that Kaiju Blue buildup could rapidly render the planet uninhabitable, and generally acting arrogant, so people are GONNA think you're a fucking jackass) you wouldn't rustle so many jimmies.

I Kid, I kid.

As for the PPDC, inform them that they shut us down, and therefore they no longer have the authority to request it. If they have a problem with us continuing to support their defense of the planet, they can set up a meeting to discuess alternative options through the appropriate channels.

As well, be sure to release a $5 video of the Kaiju fight from a cockpit view of both Jaegers (Sanitized of sensitive info, of course).

You're bad at this. The Jaeger option is just as bad if not worse. The only thing that won't spread it is a legion of vehicles equipped with Plasma Canons. That's IN THE MOVIE AS FACT. They are the only weapon that will not spread kaiju blue. Deal with it.

We sound cocky to you because we're smarter than you. I love mechs. I LOVE THEM. The movie gave me a boner that lasted all day. But we're just not having fun you approve of, so you're mad as fuck about it, and that's pathetic. Get out.

>>26145097

You're forgetting that at short range, a Kaiju that REALISES what's shooting it will simply shitkick small vehicles like tanks a fuckton faster, right?

Jaegers survive easier because they're large enough to take hits that would wreck tanks and aircraft.

That's probably why they're so huge and wasteful, so they can take a hit and keep fighting.

>>26145023
I just cried a little with joy.
>>26144968

You generally tell the PPDC that you'll talk, but that they have no authority over you. You also calmly point out that Maw would've wrecked most of Japan if you hadn't intervened. You also release said video. Funding is at 185 million USD. A new Jaeger would cost 200 Million USD if anyone's curious. The next Kaiju attack is predicted to come in 6 days.

But it would take some serious effort. It's unlikely for now, but never rule anything out with extra-dimensional invaders.

Kaiju can't destroy what it can't hit.

>>26145097

See if we can arrange a survey with a second-line Kaiju geomatics team.

Direct research to MASER based weapons, and a fusion based power source for a new MkV to supplement Striker, as well, see if there's a good MkIV chassis that we can set up a mass-production line to get an economy of scale up in the interim while we get a MkV production line up and design and make a MkVI with a gatling MASER and fusion plant.

High investment, low return. If we do this we could put ourselves out of business.

You guys want to walk away from this with pensions right? It's a crime that heroes like Charles Hunnam had to go work as a wall builder when they were done piloting.

I think we should begin finding more drift compatible candidates and making standby pilot teams on the off chance that we lose a pilot. Not like that ever happens....

Also, whoever said we should be fliming and selling footage is absolutely correct. Also, let's look into product endorsement. There's a strong market for Jaeger-Bombs and Crimson 'Typhoons'. We could be capitalizing on this.

>>26145214

To be fair to the MASER, in most movies they aren't actual MASERs, they're railguns.

>>26145262
That's actually a rather good idea. We should get the boys in PR on it right away. Along with radio ads. Comic books can be an easy and effective way to drum up interest as well.

>>26145262
They don't have to be related. But I'd suggest using a vast pool of recruits, then putting them in highly stressful/dangerous situations.

That will separate the wheat from the chaff, and we'll work on training those left over to see if they're compatible.

>>26145313

We should also bring in Charlie as a pilot trainer. Someone with that level of combat experience shouldn't be left outside. We need him training new pilots with his veteran experience, and if the opportunity arises, he might find a suitable candidate and we can put him on the line in a new-build Jaeger. Another veteran pilot in combat might give us that little edge we need.

If I remember from the prequel comic, the PPDC had a training academy set up in Anchorage, near the Anchorage Shatterdome. Since we broke ties with the PPDC, however, I don't know how we'll be able to train any recruits we do get. That training facility had everything, from room and board to Conn-Pod simulators. Without the PPDC's level of funding, I don't see how we'll be able to effectively any standby or new crews.

>>26145412

Inform them that while we appreciate it, we are currently too short of deployable Jaegers and pilots to be giving new models away at this time. If Japan wishes to contribute pilots and materiel to the program, however, we can and will offer discounts on both Kaiju defense and future sales of Jaegers and parts and maintenance.

>>26145410
Japan's always been supportive of us and shit. I think we should take it.

>>26145410
>Japan offers schematics for a shoulder mounted railgun compatible with Striker Eureka for rights to and command over the next Jaeger we build.

This sounds good, Striker Eureka is fast enough to stay well out of reach of most Kaiju and wail on them with that railgun.

We should allow the next Jaeger we build to be stationed at Japan for it's sole defence (except in the case of extreme emergencies, such as a double event or destruction of all other Jaegers.)

The Jaeger will be at the behest of the Japanese government barring these extreme emergencies. The crew is still ours, though Japan may put candidates forward.

No, he's currently without a #2. Better to have him head up training and get him a MkIV or MkV once we get a proper production line up.

At 200mil a pop, assuming we can get the materials needed, we should be able to, with the support of Japan and other asian countries (Specifically China, because we're in Hong Kong), we can F-22 that shit down to at least 150 with hopefully a 50 Jaeger run of a MkIV Jaeger as an interim defense solution until we can develop a mass-production model Striker Eureka to take over, and then a MkVI Jaeger.

>>26145410
>Giving Japan command of one of our rare and critical Jaegers

Seriously, some of you guys think this is anything but a bad idea? We're small, we need to have mobile assets. We don't need Japan holding onto our toys.

Tell them we can station the Jaeger in Japan to provide favored defense, but we are lacking in the numbers to turn over command. If that's not good enough for them we can figure something else out.


Also, we need a new training facility. Japan is on good terms with us. Ask if we can get basing space.

You guys saying we give Japan our next Jaeger are forgetting that we're BROKE right now.

As well, you're forgetting we have THREE Jaegers.

We can't afford to give what could be our only new Jaeger for months away.

We should at the least ATTEMPT to negotiate down from a whole Jaeger.

Guys, I just had a stupid, crazy, brilliant idea.

We're short on Jaegers, right? Only 3, with Gipsy still knocked out? Well, the PPDC's got a whole buncha fallen Jaegers, since this war's been going on for some time. And they've gotta store those mechs somewhere, right?

What if we were to raid the PPDC's Jaeger boneyard, take those fallen Jaegers, and restore them to fighting condition for a fraction of the price of building a new one?

>>26145585
Personally, I see Striker as our skirmisher. He wails on the Kaiju as soon as it surfaces (he'll be able to stay out of reach), then lure it into pummelling range of Cherno and Crimson.

>>26145628
Agreed. How will we move the Jaegers without causing too much turmoil and making Isreal look like they had it right all along?

>>26145628
>with Gipsy still knocked out?
GD got cannibalized, first thing they did

also, there should be like 20-30 fallen Jaegers around the place, mostly in lots of pieces or at the bottom of the pacific, the New Kaiju Offensive was not good on Jaeger numbers

>>26145628
I'm pretty sure that they'd been recycling any fallen Jaegers as best they could.

Tell Japan we'll work out a deal, but we'd rather have railgun emplacements on ground, shoreline defense systems that we can sell to other nations (And put in the Atlantic, just in case) as well as on Oil Platforms.

We need to dump money into a chemical solvent or agent that sucks up Kaiju Blue, and makes it into something useful, perhaps something that will help Algae blooms in the ocean?

Also; Next Eva-I mean, Jaeger should be a Winged Hussar with Pulse Rocket Jetpack, a Laser Halberd/Rifle, and a shield to block the Kaiju attacks.

>>26145504
Personally, I would say we suggest the Japanese government put the naming of the new Jaeger to a popular vote from the people. If we start naming them ourselves (without the PPDC support) we'll make it look worse for ourselves.

And it only costs 300ish yen to submit your vote (everybody only gets one).

>>26145867

We can't afford to damage our Jaegers, even for promotional purposes. We need each of our mechs in fighting condition, ready to go at a moment's notice. We don't wanna be caught with a Cat 4 Kaiju looking to destroy a city and our Jaegers are still getting patched up from an exhibition match.

So, I made us a potential mass-production MkV Jaeger, designed to be more of an all-rounder compared to Striker's brawler.

Stupid phone, nuclear in power, also after shocking they detach and we reil them in on the cords connecting the traps to us.

>>26145867
We can do that when we have dozens of Jaegers, but considering we only have something like three at the moment, it's not very wise.

Perhaps later, when our Jaeger numbers rise we could sell patrols? A country pays some dosh to have a Jaeger actively patrol its coast for a designated amount of time. Yeah?

>>26145927
HAve Cherno Alpha stand defense for japan. Crimson deployed against Mexico threat, charge them 150 mill they either pay or we recall crimson.

>>26145927

Hold Striker back with whatever naval support we can get. Deploy Cherno and Crimson to Mexico, assume the double-Kaiju are masking one's sig with the other, have Striker on ready-op to be deployed in support.

Kaiju aren't stupid, they're likely trying to either divide our forces and kill another Jaeger, or will be coming for the shatterdome.

>>26145927
Deploy all Jaegers to Mexico.

If Striker has the railgun then he's taking point. Have Cherno and Crimson hold off engagement until Striker's target looks to be getting too close for comfort.

Send Cherno and Striker to deal with the Kaiju headed toward Mexico. Keep Crimson and Gipsy on standby.

Also, let's see if we can make some extra cash by selling of kaiju parts, if not break into a pre-existing economy. If kaiju bone powder can nab $500 USD a pound, I think we might have to resort to using this as a source of income.

Hey guys, as far as building new Jaegers, what about instead of stealing the old ones from the PPDC, why don't we just build older Mark Is and IIs from scratch then upgrade them with modern weapons? We could build several Coyote Tangos or Horizon Braves or Tacit Ronins for the cost of a Striker Eureka and they would be just as effective with Plasma Casters or Anti-Kaiju Missiles as the later series, even if they are out match in strength. We can also let the Russians loose on modding them like they did Cherno Alpha to 'catch them up' as missions are completed and money rolls in.

>>26145945

Gypsy has been canabalized. And we're in no position to be selling off our scrap when we're cannibalizing Jaeger.

Selling Kaiju parts would work though. Now that we no longer work through a government forum we can work with materials that might be illegal in what used to be constituent nations.

Ask Mexico for money, scramble Typhoon and Cherno, keep back our Aussie machine. Need to worry about that missing Jaeger. We can't overcommit.

Category III and IV's were wreaking Mk1 and Mk2 Jaeger's in short order. It's why the New Kaiju offensive was so demoralizing.

>>26146047
Its rather an issue of who contorls the guns. But to be honest i don't care who builds them as long as they get built. We know missiles and plasma barrage is a deterrent, if anything hurt the kaiju and slow it down enough until Jaegers can get in. We need Japan to be a stronghold. We can agree that Japan at this moment is our only source of resources, payment and our only ally.

>>26146165
It's only been a week Doctor. Japan is a sovereign nation, not your Waifu. We should actively be pursuing more partnerships, on both sides of the ocean.

There are plenty of very smart people in this world, doing alot of work on their own defense programs. We have this one, and we need to make sure it remains in top form, rather then diluting our time and money on other ones.

Like I said, we can contract our specialists. We engender nothing but good will if you, say, sat in some think tank with Tokyo's best and brightest. But we can't go draining our funds making a defense battery for every coast.

>>26146165
Why though? Guns might hurt the Kaiju a little, but it won't slow it down nearly as much as even the Wall would. And all those people manning the guns are dead meat, and they'd know it.

We shouldn't be concerned with this, Jaegers are our rapid response force, we can't divert attention to stuff that does assist us meaninfully.

Why don't we just clone a Kaiju, lobotomize it, scrap the Jeagers, then have the resulting cyborg be piloted by an emotionally unstable teenager?

Let's offer Canada our expertise in building Maple Furry, we're in dire need of allies now.

It's not like we're creating new mechs out of nothing. All the Mark I's and II's need is a bit of a....modernization program, like the old battleships back in the 80's. New armor, better dakka, radiation shielding for the pilots in the Conn-Pods, and we can at least get them to the performance levels of the Mark III's.

>>26146145

That's because we didn't know about category III and IV kaiju at the time, and when we tried to brawl with them with Mk Is they got torn up. We'd be opting for ranged engagements with anti-Kaiju weapons that just use the Jaeger as a more maneuverable platform than a tank, and able to at least take a few knocks before they get demolished. Also, we should work on armored cockpits for them; what happened to Typhoon in the movie needs to not happen so easily this time around. Metagaming? Maybe a bit. But just because China thinks sub-par cockpits are okay doesn't mean we would now that we run this shit.

First 3. WHELP

Cherno Alpha dives in, bringing a hammerstrike onto the Kaiju's head, discharging 830kv into the beast. Startlingly, Bane's tail whips over it's back, slamming into Cherno's chest, piercing the armor and impaling halfway through the chest section. The Jaeger slumps, experienceing sudden massive failures in it's hydraulic mechanisms. Crimson Typhoon grabs the tail, pulling it out and severing the bladed tip with a plasma cast. It then brings it's dual chain swords to bear, carving the Kaiju's back and causing massive damage. Bane slams it's head into Typhoon, but it's too little too late. in a sweeping motion, Typhoon removes the Kaiju's head from it's body. Bane twitches and dies. Still no sign of the other Kaiju... Typhoon evacs Cherno to the Shatterdome for repairs. It's estimated it'll take a few days to fix Cherno.

>>26146419
China is the most immediately obvious candidate. We're talking about a lot of manufacturing power here.

>>26146475
We should learn from this and consider installing redundant hydraulic systems.

>>26146475

FIND THAT KAIJU, NOW!

Get every possible team we can onto Cherno ASAP, bring in tech specialists from Russia and Japan if possible, as well, keep Striker and Typhoon on rotating ready-op status.

>>26144167
You did realize that the nuke exploding DID create a vacuum right? That's why there was the rush of water outwards as the force pushed it away AND the rush of water TOWARDS the explosion filling in where the water was vaporized.

>>26146488
I would have liked germany's experts, we could still contract the individuals thought.

>>26146475
>>26146497
Calm down, I had my teams on alert they are at it. Once we receive the rapid drones from Japan this will be an easier job.

>>26146432
I agree that we should contact some of the European nations for help. Germany has the engineering expertise, Britain has naval support, the EU in general is a fairly lucrative source of income (assuming the Euro crisis didn't fuck them up the ass in this timeline) and we generally need all hands on deck for this, the kaiju will destroy ALL of humanity when they're done with the Pacific countries, so we can't afford to just limit ourselves to them. Plus if most of the Mediterranean has a high opinion of us, we have a good "STFU Israel" card to play there.

Actually, I'll just request a list of economically lucrative NON-Pacific nations and their opinions towards us.

>>26146475

We can manage the upkeep on Cherno.

In the meantime, with our new wad of cash, I say that we build our first new mech.

>>26146475
As much as I'd like us to do >>26146409. we really shouldn't respond to a Kaiju until it's actively threatening a nation. Who is going to pay us otherwise?

Get building on that Jaeger for Japan, Striker better have that Railgun fixed up because he and Crimson will be going back in for Round 2 likely as not.

>>26146497
We don't need Cherno up that quickly. We have four or five days to the next Kaiju, and this one will be attacking before he's fixed. Let's do this slow and orderly. Mistakes cost us pilots.

But, yes, finding the other Kaiju is priority number one. Put out a bounty to the world government. Next Kaiju save is only 100 mil if they locate him for us.

Biggest priority for future research; more dependable intel gathering.

>>26146419
To maintain good relations with Aussieland, we can give them discounts on defense missions.
Lets say its a 100 million per Jaeger to deploy on a defense mission. Already makes sense since we're charging Mexico 200 million to deploy 2 Jaegers in its defense.

Since Aussieland 'donated' their Striker Eureka, it's free for them, and something like a 25% discount for additional Jaeger deployment.

Give this offer to any nation who donates a Jaeger. Free Jaeger deployment and a discount for additional Jaegers.
Now there's an incentive to make and donate Jaegers to our cause. If they didnt donate, they would have to pay the full price for additional Jaegers, but if they donated, they pay at a discounted price.

We may lose income, but we'll get more Jaegers, and with more Jaegers we can get paid for patrol missions, etc.

>>26146552
We need to find and be in position to assist.

We don't have teleporting Jaegers. People won't pay us if we can't help.

This begs the question, what will do if a country doesn't pay? I don't imagine our pilots will take kindly to us telling them to let women and children die because a country hasn't footed its bill.

>>26146529
The problem is that we're pretty much mercenaries. Why would these nations help us rather than directly assisting other nations? We should concentrate on Pacific nations. In particular Japan, China and Aus (due to the MkV donation). Canada also looks promising.

>>26146552
Who said we have to go in when we find it?
At least keep an eye on it so we can reasonably respond when the threat (and cash) arrives.

I'm going to suggest looking into reactivating former pilots; and former students dismissed from the Jaeger Academy after it was closed.

>>26146566
Why on earth would a country build a Jaeger then donate it to us rather than have it defend their own nation?

>>26146260

Fair enough.

>>26146303

This was my thought, but I also think that a team of 3 could easily confuse a Kaiju. They wouldn't know how to deal with a 3-on-1; at least not till they evolved to do so. But that's going to happen to any tactic we use against them.

Conversely, we could strap Newt into a Mk. I and rig the core to detonate 5 minutes after he gets dragged through the Throat. I mean we know they are gonna come for him by now, right?

>>26146566
I would take this a step further.

We offer a discount to any nation that has an active Jaeger program. Otherwise its a 200m fee to be defended.

>>26146586
We kill that Kaiju, but do not deploy to the area again until we are paid.

>>26146586

Well unless the pilots are HOT-BLOODED enough to launch the Jaegers themselves against our orders, we'll have to simply stand by and watch the carnage on TV, maybe using the footage as ammunition for why not using Jaegers to defeat high-level Kaiju threats is a bad idea.

>>26146599
I'm fairly certain Charlie was one of the few survivors that could still pilot a Jaeger.

>>26146609
If we gave them the blueprints? It could be done.

It wouldn't be 'donate a Jaeger' it would be 'donate resources and industry'. It needs to be carefully managed.

Make it seem like we're doing them a favor. "Oh, we noticed you're in a Kaiju Sensitive area. We can help you with exclusive economic packaged if you'll give us the resources and factories to build a new model of Jaeger.'

If you can sell anything with the right pitch.

>>26146614
This sounds more like it. We're doing this for humanity after all, and this is some incentive for countries to field their own Jaegers and we send in ours to support them when needed.

>>26146589
Because we hold the most Jaegers right now, with Canada making one.

Against the Kaiju, we don't want to be outnumbered. Pretty sure common sense dictates that. We have 3 Jaegers, the rest of the world has 1.
We throw this deal out there. Either they make more Jaegers to help themselves, which kills Kaiju, and we can loot the bodies for RnD, or they make more Jaegers and takes the deal.

Win-win scenario. Even if this deal doesn't take off, more Kaiju are dying and more lives are being saved. Making Jaegers more popular, and then we can sell more merchandise and shit like that.

>>26146633
We still want to be scrambled for intercept, before we get paid. Because if we get paid and we aren't there in time, it will be very, very bad PR for us.

>>26146609
They want it in action kicking Kaiju ass?
They don't want to train pilots, therefore they'd rather just give it to us because we have skilled people capable of putting a new Jaeger through its paces?
Fuck I dunno...

>>26146633
I don't care how hot blooded they are activation codes are needed. Plus there are kill codes to freeze jaegers.

>>26146633
I would honestly not have a shred of respect for our pilots if they were deployed within combat distance of a Kaiju about to wreck a city and then watched on as it went to town, regardless of any orders we made.

Alerts start pouring in... A Kaijus been sighted in the Atlantic. Horrible realization dawns on you as it occurs that the beast has traveled around one of the southern capes. It appears to be moving northward toward Europe, and it'll undoubtedly arrive some time before you can respond in the area. The Eurozone is in a panic, with coastal evacuations taking place suddenly everywhere.

>>26146696
Well... I guess we can hit up Germany and the UK now.

>>26146609
Because if you take the deal you get your own Jaeger that you donated deployed for free, and additional Jaegers for a discounted price.

Otherwise you would have to pay more for more Jaeger support from us.

>>26146614
Actually I kinda like this more than my original plan.

>>26146696

Begin forward deployment, see what the Eurozone is offering in terms of strategic airlift for Striker and Crimson.

Make sure they know we're available and eager for fighting.

>>26146686
That's a pretty bad idea with a Kaiju in their immediate proximity.

No really, how is that at all a good idea? It loses us a Jaeger, it's a PR nightmare AND it gets hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed directly because of us.

>>26146696
Charge an "enhanced fee" to the Eurozone and deploy Striker/Typhoon as fast as possible.

>>26146696
Gentlemen,

This is the sound of profit.

Luckily Typhoon is already in SA. He can cross overland.

And what he said >>26146714 See if Airlift is feasible.

Tell them that for this long of a trip, we'll be needing a large deposit. There are alot of rich countries in Europe. Let's see what the EU can put together for us. For one thing, tell them we want Germany to build us a new one.

>>26146716
well its simple, no pilots may steal Jaegers, and even if they mange to steal one, we can shut it down. These measures are not meant for any other uses.

>>26146696

Get Eureka strapped into JumpHawks and give the order to haul ass.

Get Crimson Home and ready to deploy ASAP, but keep him at the Shatterdome.

Get repairs on Cherno started, and get him up, but this assignment is much lower priority to getting Crimson up.

Last thing we need is to be blindsided at home...

After Europe is secure, pitch them the "Economic insentives" of fielding Jaegers

>>26146696
Deploy Striker Eureka and Crimson Typhoon, we shouldn't charge for this one, since we won't exactly be preventing it's arrival. Definitely a chance to disprove the effectiveness of the Wall and get major funding back into the Jaeger program though.

I can only hope that railgun is working.

>>26146753
more importantly can we get there on time?

We have the funds.

We should start building a new Jaeger. Or maybe rebuilding Gipsy Danger as GD 2.0, since lots of its parts are probably still intact.

>>26146756
> and even if they mange to steal one

Starting a Jaeger is like starting an F1 car, fucking complicated, they need a shatterdome to get running from a cold start

>>26146712
>>26146669
Thanks. The idea here is to incentivise other nations to start building Jaegers again. As more nations start building their own, thats more in the fight, and more industry to fall back on.

>>26146696
We purchase and send one repair drone to Canada to aid in their efforts.

>>26146757
You mean of funding Jaegers.

If they seem like they want to field their own, remind them that it's considerably cheaper to work as a collective and fund us. Who do they trust more, an international defense organization, or do they really think their neighbors will compromise there own defense?

>>26146756
I mean using it to prevent them stopping a Kaiju from destroying a city if a nation refuses to pay.

>>26146787
>Canada
>Europe

Come on, man.

Get on the horn with the Prime Minister, and the Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German heads of state. Let's see if we can talk turkey with all four of them.

I think its time we start developing a fast travel system for Jaegers, quick global deployment.

We dont actually have to build it yet, but it might be a good idea to get some ideas on how to get one.

>>26146776
On time to save everyone? Maybe with Airlift. Airlift from Mexico for Crimson.

There's no wall over there, they're very exposed. Maybe the US will attempt a fleet action on behalf of its economic allies.

>>26146792
While it's entirely plausible to do that, that's not what it's for.
It's a failsafe in the unlikely event some asshole tries to jack our shit.

>>26146789
Why don't we also get started building a shatterdome in the Atlantic region. I'm sure the Europeans/Americans would be willing to provide.

>>26146810
orbital platform to drop them from with a space elevator to take them back up for rearming/repairs?

>>26146804
I meant what i said.

>>26146820
There is no incentive this is a freak incident.

>>26146820
Maybe we should see how this goes before we start making plans.

However, I would not be averse to a shatterdome in Mallorca.

>>26146744
>>26146753

We can't charge them for this, we won't be arriving in time and NO ONE saw this coming. We can hardly hold them at ransom for this.

Definitely milk this for all it's worth, but only AFTER we rush in and save the day. Makes us look less like mercenaries to the world at large and gives us goodwill with the Euro countries who I can bet will now be abandoning the idea of the Wall of Life.

>>26146844
I agree

>>26146832
Ah, I thought you meant encouraging Canada to send their unfinished Jaeger to Europe.

>>26146828
A friend and I actually thought of something like an Orbital Shatterdome, the issue here is making a heatshield and getting the resources to send the Jaegers back up.

Or we can send up an orbital factory that would mine asteroids, make Jaegers, and deploy them down to Earth with no way of sending Jaegers back up. But thats some real scifi shit.

>>26146853
nope, just to help them along, and keep them up once they're up

>>26146840
And thus we agree on something.

>>26146848
I would have nuked the thing sooner. much less casualties, but general bright decided not to.

>>26146844
>Not charging them for the unexpected

Man, like, I guess, but....
We shouldn't make this a regular thing.

Where's the closest US carrier group? The only large US base I know of in Europe is that air base in Ramstein, but even if they can scramble fighers, it'll be like trying to take down a gorilla with mosquito bites.

>>26146714
Reports start filing in from London. It's under attack. The entire Eurozone offers airlift support and the UK makes a forward offer of 100 million USD with more if we can make it and help. Eureka and Typhoon are on their way. It's bad. The UK military can barely slow the monster down, and the death toll had rapidly hit the millions. The UK is considering use of Nuclear fire if you can't make it fast enough.

>>26146848
>>26146837
It's easily preventable by stationing Jaegers at the cape.

What I really want to know is how did the Kaiju figure this out? How aware of our current deployments and general geography are they?

>>26146884
I'm tempted to let them try because I have a feeling it wouldn't work...

>>26146884
We need to go faster, Bonus incentives to the pilots, push the machines to their limits.

>>26146879
Mallorca?

Oh yeah, it's a great place. I'd save them for free any day.

No ones wants to hit one of their countries most populous cities with a nuclear bomb.

>>26146820

Let's talk to the Americans first. An East Coast Shatterdome would be mighty lucrative for whatever East Coast state nabbed it.

>>26146844
I definitely agree with this. Don't charge them, make us look less like mercs makes people more comfy paying us. Since we need the money for 'Jaeger repairs and construction', which is exactly what we're doing with it anyways.
That and finding new ways to kill Kaiju.

>>26146884

How fast are we moving? Even if we can't offer close-combat, how long until we can drop Striker for long-range interdiction using it's new railgun? That thing should be good from fucking GERMANY.

>>26146881
There's one in the Med. based out of Italy. Carrier group, MEDCOM.

There' also a carrier group in Norfolk.

Also, I left to watch a movie after the last post under my name so you were arguing with someone else. (also this is the first thread about PacRim I've participated in, though a kinetic penetrator fetish sounds fun)
