It has come to my attention that the plugsuits we wear for protection against Rift energy is outdated by more than a few decades.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 appreciate the contribution. I am in the process of requisitioning LILITH to create a laboratory for us on base, and procure state-of-the-art equipment. While I doubt they will be able to give us anything that would allow us to extensively study the kaiju, our efforts may be directed towards the planet's restoration instead.

That's a good idea.
We need to start thinking about the aftermath...
Well then, I will have some funds wired to you as soon as this mission is over.

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

I have heard such speculation as well, which, if it is to be believed, would be the best course of action for all of us.

However, we cannot rush in without due diligence. We must ensure the upgraded plugsuits are thoroughly tested and the environment within the Rifts verified to be somewhat hospitable for us before we enter. This planet may be struggling, but that is no reason for carelessness.

We will certainly have need of individuals to procure kaiju materials, so your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU AND GODZILLA DON'T GET ALONG

THAT'S NOT RELATED JUST FUNNY

I'M NOT IN A RUSH TO GO INTO THE RIFTS BUT HELPING GET KAIJU PARTS I CAN DEFINITELY DO
