@Nirur Torir
Can 'HERO' characters still make actions even if not hired?

No. The idea is to give a small bonus to 'main' players in exchange for a bit of decentralization, while also adding limited audience participation. Letting everyone research on their own would add too much to what I need to track.

[Devastator]

I'd like to sign up.  Please note that he is simply nuts.

I'm tired of living in the shadow of my more famous relatives, and instead of going into energy weapons, robots and magic, I build and customize vehicles.  Be warned, manical laughter is my constant companion.

[akkudakku]

Editted my character a little, nothing much though, just name and origin ;-)

[Furtuka]

Timmy Grant and the Kaiju Fighters are to be airlifted in with the assistance of military/goverment/whatever, and take the armored bus to a building from which they might set up their equipment and commence rocking out as loudly as they can. The 3 military units are to go with them and one military platoon is to rock out along side them while the other one and the special operations team stands guard.

[Parsely]

Send out the Spec Ops battalion equipped with the two Deliverance guns, and the Elite Infantry Battalion. In order to get them there ask for transport from the American government. They are to set up a defensive position on the coast in the Kaiju's path, there orders are to slow and delay the beast until evacuation of the entire area is complete. Once the area is cleared they are to begin a retreating attack, they are to always remain out of range of the beast while keeping the attack going.

Hey boss! What the squid do you want me to do!?

[Nirur Torir]

Expect the turn today.

Hey boss! What the squid do you want me to do!?

Please wait for the next hiring phase to be hired.

[Mephansteras]

Might as well hop in as a Hero. A pilot, if that's ok with Nirur Torir. Willing to be hired by any of the Companies, as long as the work is exciting.

Name: Ryan "Raven" Salk
Place of Birth: Juno, Alaska
Specialization: Piloting
Job description: Former Air Force Pilot and currently working as a Firefighting pilot
Description: An adrenaline junky who has flown nearly every class of aircraft known to man over his career. He currently does firefighting work, traveling to the most dangerous hot spots in the country. In his off time he does stunt flying to hone his skills.

[Nirur Torir]

Tip of the day: Pilots looking for exciting work are not advised to join an anti-kaiju organization. Such work simply doesn't exist at this time.

Halberd forces leave their base within fifteen minutes, having their own transports but needing time to grab heavier weapons, and are the first to arrive. They touch down just before the giant turtle make landfall at Shanghai. One platoon takes their heavy anti-tank weapons and begin short-range recon, while the second takes the chinooks and helps the civilians evacuate.

Despite their efforts, the beast rampages for nearly two hours before more organizations start arriving. The valiant local forces managed to destroy its head in an impressive barrage, but it merely grow back. The shell is nearly inpenetrable, but seems to lack regeneration.

Most of the civilians have been evacuated by the time F.A.F.N.I.R. and Black Forge arrive to help with evacuations. They spread out, looking to retrieve straggelers.

Halberd, F.A.F.N.I.R., Black Forge, SINCOM, and NERV infantry fail to do much damage to it, and are only poorly linked with local forces, who only have marginally more success.

After another two hours of ineffective fighting, the Chinese government calls for all military forces to pull out immediately.

With all the chaos, Timmy Grant and the Kaiju fighters find themselves unable to get a flight in time, lacking their own airfield. HERALD, similarly, can't get the military to divert any transports to Antarctica.

The kaiju proves vulnerable to a high dose of nuclear fire.

Casualty list:
NERV: 1 SF platoon, 3 Inf platoons, all infantry/special forces morale down due to sucicide mission. Estimated 1 year for full recovery.
Halberd: 1 SF platoon
Misc minor damage to other platoons - Auto-charged for replacements.
Kaiju remains
Various local forces
Estimated 5 million civilians, in evacuation, battle, and immediate aftermath.
Estimated 50 million humans over 5 years from nuclear after-effects, including ecological
Shanghai an irradiated ruin

Your performances were deemed unsatisfactory. Be aware that, in the unlikely event that kaiju death-cults sprout up and then spread to take 40% of world governments, all anti-kaiju organizations will be terminated. Additionally, if the world's population ever falls below one billion humans, Earth's loss will be virtually garunteed.
Halberd has gained a token funding increase.
After careful review, no penalties to funding have been deemed necessary at this time.

200 CR: Small Workshop - Allows 25 engineers to work on small projects, up to the size of a small motorcycle.
350 CR: Large Workshop - Allows 25 engineers to work on projects as large as a medium-sized plane.
Workshops may initially be upgraded up to four times, for a dice bonus. Costs are 100, 200, 400, and 800 extra (1000 for a fully upgraded small workshop). This may be paid later, but work cannot be done inside a building during construction.

250 CR + 10/month: General Laboratory - Allows 25 scientists to work on any one project.
+100 CR: Specialized Laboratory - Provides a bonus to work in one field, with a severe penalty to unrelated fields.
Laboratories may initially be upgraded up to three times, for a dice bonus. Costs are 100, 200, and 400 extra. This may be paid later, but work cannot be done inside a building during construction.

100 CR: Hospital Ward - Allows up to 10 injured personnel to remain safely on-base. Doubles healing speed, and allows those with minor injures to continue light work.

50 CR: Living Quarters - Provides on-base living, recreation, and dining space for 100 personnel. Removes the morale penalty for commutes, required for bases in inhospitable locations.

100 CR: Small Airfield - Space for small aircraft to launch from or land on. Comes with a control tower.
+50 CR: Large Airfield - Allows larger aircraft to use the airfield.
+50 CR: Hangars - Provides maintenance and secure storage space for 3 fighter-sized aircraft or 1 bomber-sized aircraft. May be taken multiple times.

Free: General support personnel - Janitors, secretaries, and the like. Their budgets are included in the hiring costs for other employees.

Scientists
0~1/mo: Undergrad Students - They'll work for food and paperwork, and are better than empty space.
10~5/mo: General scientists - They're decent at most mundane fields, but don't leave them studying fusion unattended.
25~5/mo: Low-grade specialists - They are heavily specialized, and you might not get exactly the specialty you were hoping for.
50~10/mo: Specialists - These have a more broad focus, and research just as fast as lower grade specialists in their specialties.
150~25/mo: Superior Scientists - They are generally good at everything that's not too overly exotic.
500~100/mo: XCOM-tier scientists - Need a small team who can study a dimensional gate, reverse-engineer its access method, and design a manned inter-dimensional vehicle, all within two months?

Engineers
0~1/mo: Undergrad Students - They'll work for food and paperwork, and are better than empty space.
10~5/mo: General engineers - They're decent at most mundane tasks. Precision work is better done by specialists.
25~5/mo: Low-grade specialists - They are heavily specialized, and you might not get exactly the specialty you were hoping for.
50~10/mo: Specialists - These have a more broad focus, and build just as well as lower grade specialists in their specialties.
150~25/mo: Superior engineers - Their creations are generally superior.
500~100/mo: XCOM-tier engineers - Probably overkill.

Soldiers
20~10/mo: General infantry platoon(50)
50~25/mo: Special forces platoon(50)
If you want to hire better trained soldiers, spend more money for random results.

Pilots
4~1/mo: General Pilot. Able to fly or drive anything conventional with minimal practice.
If you want to hire better trained pilots, spend more money for random results.

Yes, of course. I just don't feel like figuring it out just now.
If you've built it before now, it will be usable next phase. If you're buying it now, it will be usable in next month's R&D phase.
If you're recruiting GUNIN, please modify your post saying so, as well as how much you're paying, if anything.
