((okay, I'm back home now, but you obviously dont want combat rolls, so I'm gonna go out again after this is written up
On a serious note, the training wheels are now off. The enemy is going to hurt a
lot more, so don't skimp on the armor/deflectors. You have been warned.))
A week passes fairly quickly, with no more attacks during said time, although it appears the alien defenses are getting more 'active', whatever that means. I don't really care what you did during this time, as long as it isn't
completely stupid. Any weapons you want have been made during the timeskip, and are now waiting in the armory for usage.
"We've completed the projects you've set out for us, and they're yielded some very interesting results. We now have laser weapon technology available for usage on the mechas, as well as reflective isotope armor, to help deflect enemy laser fire. Be warned, though: This armor will only deflect laser fire. Also, our current power sources don't really maximise the amount of damage laser weaponry can do.""It is inevitable the diversity of planets would also create a diversity of biological life. Strange beasts, with even stranger abilities, can be found in the many anonymous planets of the multiverse. We've already discovered Hydromiel - an organic mix that builds nutrients from any form of soil or rock and converts it into indescribably delicious blobs of grape-sized fruit, certain to be of use in solving the world's hunger problems. There are bound to be many more discoveries to come, and you can apply here to help us find more useful alien artifacts in the future. We've also identified some basic 'weak points' in the armor of the Kaiju we've seen so far, although we have no idea if it applies to every single one.""Additionally, we have several companies that would be interested in helping us extract the rare resources found in other universes by constructing permanent bases there, although you may be required to help scout possible mining sites, and establish these compounds. In return, they'll share some of their gathered resources with us, which will in turn increase your mecha's effectiveness by enabling us to construct more advanced weapons, armor and devices you'll need in the future. However, you may be called on to defend these colonies, for better or worse."
