"Just for clarification, is that just one of the three with the materials, or can all three be done at the same time with what we brought back? If it's the first, I echo the sentiment about batteries, seems like a practical thing for creating practical combat lasers."

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

"What's the purpose of Unstable Isotope Manipulation?"

"An example of an unstable isotope is Uranium-238. However, we are looking for more practical isotopes we can use in explosives. Additionally, certain isotopes can be engineered to break apart when needed and act as flak defense, which would provide armor against explosives."

"Just for clarification, is that just one of the three with the materials, or can all three be done at the same time with what we brought back? If it's the first, I echo the sentiment about batteries, seems like a practical thing for creating practical combat lasers."

"We only have enough to complete one, I'm afraid."

"And Isolation Shields are obviously defense, but what against?"

"Umm, just so I'm not making assumptions, the batteries would be the first step for lasers right? And what other things can they be used for?

Ao walks in, adjusting his mask. He looks slightly tired, as if he'd been doing something rigorous.
"Yes, what can the batteries be used for?"

"They're actually a scientific tool; it lets us run experiments in a isolated environment."

"Umm, just so I'm not making assumptions, the batteries would be the first step for lasers right? And what other things can they be used for?

"Power for shielding against lasers."

((So I'm guessing:
-Isolation Shields lowers our research point requirement before getting the next item
-Batteries absorb power from the lasers or power the barriers that block lasers
-Isotope Manipulation allows us access to explosives better than missiles and potentially flak armor
-Deep Crust Mining allows us access to more exotic materials, potentially lowering the cost of certain items on tonnage

Correct?))

Lethe had remained mostly silent after the battle, she looked relieved as she studied the rest of the pilots and saw that not one of them had been hurt. After the woman's explanation of the shields though she spoke,
"The isolation shields sound like a good idea"

((I'm actually torn between explosives and the battery. *Flips coin* explosives it is))

"In that case, I'll change my vote to the isotope manipulation."

Luzia, having parked her mech back in the hangar for repairs, carefully makes her way to the mess hall for a drink, since her heart is still pounding and her hands shaking slightly from the battle. After getting herself a cup of tea, she gratefully sits at a nearby table, and begins to nurse it while enjoying being by herself. Even if it's just for a couple moments.

Eren, having been silent, speaks up now.
"Isolation Shields. For now, we're safe enough to make an investment."

Ao, having handed in his suggestion, goes to the canteen to drink tea.

Luzia gives Ao a friendly wave as she spots him enter the canteen, and gestures for him to come sit with her.

Ao does so, nodding at her. He drinks his tea calmly, studying her through his mask.
"I noticed your display earlier."
