It has come to my attention that the plugsuits we wear for protection against Rift energy is outdated by more than a few decades.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.

I am neither suited to such things,
Nor do I have enough spare time for it.
But I shall send you funding if you need it.
The money made through my civilian occupations sees little use.

I HEARD IF WE UPGRADE THE PLUGSUITS WE CAN GO INTO THE RIFTS

AND THEY THINK THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE KAIJU ATTACKS FOREVER

I DUNNO HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT

BUT IF YOU NEED SOMEONE TO KILL KAIJU FOR PARTS WE CAN USE

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS ASK ME ANYTIME

[Ah... Research, it has his attention but also... Donnie is not good at team playing when it comes to his work, something he learned once.]

It's all certainly a good idea, but what if folks are secretive about their work?

I am in possession of a multitude of leather and bones. I can carve some amulets for anyone that needs more mobility than a cloak can offer, but they'll be enough to protect us from Rift poisoning for now.

I want to keep working on this if we get a lab, too. I need more space than my closet.

Tools. Time. Money to buy additional supplies like metal. I'm a bit of a craftsman, so I'll need a dedicated workspace for this stuff.

I can spare a couple of materials for testing. Just make sure there's enough left so I can actually build something out of it. I'm thinking armor or weapons. They should be powerful enough to be enchanted, too. Material made from legendary monsters are better at holding strong magic than everyday stuff like wood or metal.

I've always worked alone, the last time I worked with... Peers, it ended badly for all involved.

[Like having his work stolen, with the Purple Dragons, or him getting annoyed by the others. The others being his brothers when they were as smart as him.]

And as much as I possibly can, which back home was a lot.

YEAH I'LL DO IT

MY BODY ISN'T A SECRET TO ANYONE

WHY IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT

IT'S WEIRD RIGHT

I'M ALSO NOT FROM EARTH

BUT I GET SICK LIKE YOU GUYS DO

SO IT'S NOT LIKE ALL ALIEN KAIJU ARE IMMUNE

BUT THEN WHY ARE THESE ONES IMMUNE

IF THEY DON'T ALL COME FROM THE SAME PLANET

WHICH I DIDN'T THINK THEY DID

THEY AREN'T FRIENDS RIGHT

I DUNNO

ANYWAY I WAS THINKING THAT YOU AND GODZILLA BOTH USE SO MANY WORDS THAT IF I WAS IN A ROOM WITH THAT MUCH TALKING I WOULD ALSO WANT TO PUNCH PEOPLE

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

[ he wasn't going to join the conversation about science and research originally, but... the craftsmen should DEFINITELY unionize. ]

What kind of tools? Our employers gave me permission to keep a forge, so I'll be making some for myself when we get back, and I can maybe outfit you too...

Really? Are you making me a full suit of armor? I would be indebted to you (happily) if you did! And I'll enchant yours as thanks!

[ The people weren't ready for their wisdom, sadly. ]

Hah, get me materials and a proper design, and I can bang something out for you no problem. It'll be a lot of iron, fair warning.

Tools first, though. What's the list?

[ ok fine he said hi to taryon so he might as well say hi to the doc too ]

Nobody ever remembers that equipping the army is the hardest part of winning the battle.

Is this group mainly gonna be looking at defenses?

I'd like to support this. I'm still new here, so what technology exists compared to my own familiarization might conflict somewhat, but the sooner I learn what we have to work with, the better both can be integrated.

I might be able to help with administration, depending on what you need.
