First Action: Obtain ridiculously large Mecha
[6] All of Europe pools its resources together to build the biggest mecha ever made, and then gives it to an unnamed protagonist because, uh, who else would you give a mecha to? Unfortunately, this leaves them with no money for anything else.

[2] The Cardboard Samurai's sword matches his name—

The alien mothership is hovering just beyond Earth's orbit, releasing small alien drones.
