It has come to my attention that the plugsuits we wear for protection against Rift energy is outdated by more than a few decades. What little upgrades the suits have been given over the years amount to minor fixes and cosmetic changes. Some researchers of the Alexandria Institute have indicated an interest in producing a better plugsuit using materials from the kaiju as a basis for the improvements, and I believe we ought to collaborate with them.
Given LILITH's inefficient bureaucracy, this is an initiative that we Outsiders ought to head ourselves. Not only do we have personal experience with the plugsuits, we also have capable individuals who can contribute significantly to the research itself.
[ Is he tooting his own horn here? Absolutely. But he also means the other Outsiders who have non-combat expertise, many of whom he's spoken to or already gotten assistance from for his own research and projects. ]
Additionally, not all of us have skills oriented towards battle, and often I find myself unhappy with my ability to contribute in that regard.
Thus, I propose that we establish a research team, focusing on not only on kaiju research of our own, but on solving the issues plaguing this planet that LILITH does not have the capacity to attend to. There are any number of projects we can tackle—the plugsuit, the planet's environmental destruction, greater defenses for our bases, and much more.
If you have any interest in joining the research team, inform me immediately. I will administer a short interview to determine your suitability, but you need not be a specialist in research to join. A team requires individuals of many skills, including administrative, or for the less academically inclined, those who can procure the materials we need for our studies.
Of course, if you believe this to be of little use, or an exercise in futility, I would like to hear your argument. No great plan has ever been set into motion without debate and intense scrutiny.

... Yeah, that's what I said, isn't it? I'm gonna need to see those blueprints, Ratio, and they better be real detailed.
no subject
[ It's fine if Muramasa goes back on his word. Ratio's already astonished that he's capable of creating such complex machinery on his own. ]
no subject
And if you can get your hands on any similar examples that can work in nearabout the same way, that'd be good too. Something I can put my hands on. They don't have to be functional, I just want to see the structure in person.
[ for REASONS ]
no subject
That may be difficult, but I'll see what I can do.
[ They do have the shields from LILITH, but they're small scale and don't work the exact same way, whereas larger generators would be difficult to find. It might be possible to find a broken one from an abandoned area, but... ]
Is it a requirement that you see a similar device?
no subject
[ challenge "make his process sound less like an unprofessional hack job than it actually is": FAILED ]
Without a sample to work from, I'll have to fill in the gaps in the uh, templates? And I don't have a lot of mana for that, so I'll really have to take my time to make something permanent that's not gonna embarrass the shit out of me to hand over as a finished product.
[ he is NOT a fuel efficient Servant, not even remotely ]
no subject
Otherwise we may want to create a fabricator with your skills to handle what has no precedent on this planet.
no subject
I don't wanna say yes to the job until I've got an exact idea of the scope, but it ought to be doable. Time, materials, and mana are still the deciding factors.
And anything we can do to automate things in the long-term would be preferable. I'd hate for work to go to waste just because I finally bit it or something.
no subject
Indeed, that would be wisest. I have been attempting to create an omni-synthesizer for the past month, but lack the requisite parts to complete the device. Perhaps you may assist me in that regard.
