The decision has been made. LILITH Japan orders the Outsiders to mobilize to pursue the Imugi.
Given that they are in a foreign country, they are largely dependent on LILITH Koreaโs resources. In response to the decision, the Korean branch provides some assistance: the Outsiders are given just enough vehicles to help transport them, essential supplies, and only a few operatives to help guide them. This is the most the Korean branch is able to give, as they must focus on relocating people and restoring peace following the attack.
LILITH announces that the Imugi is currently resting near Gangneung on the east coast and they must move quickly. The effects of Rift poisoning will grow stronger as they approach the source; a sign that they are close to a kaiju. Upon reaching the mountains just outside the city, LILITH informs them that they are right on top of its location.
However, there is no Imugi to be found. After searching the area, Outsiders will discover the source of the trace and the poisoning: eggs. They will find about twelve eggs. When they report their findings, Seokdang will curse. In their rush, they had followed the wrong trace. They didnโt track down an injured and resting Imugi—they tracked down the Imugiโs nest. So where is the Imugi?
Not long after, Outsiders will receive an update on their implants: the Imugi reappeared in Seoul. After seeing the corpse of its mate, it went berserk and attacked the city again. While many of the citizens were evacuated to nearby Incheon and remaining shelters, just as many perished, with the death toll at 168,000 and rising. LILITHโs Korean base is destroyed.
The Imugi was last seen flying north, but the Korean government prohibits the Outsiders from pursuing it again through their territory. By choosing to pursue the kaiju, the Outsiders have abandoned humanity and thus will receive no further support. They are ordered to leave the country immediately.
LILITH Japan will order them to collect as many eggs as possible and continue to the abandoned city of Gangneung, where they will arrange pick up and return to base in Tokyo.
โถ AFTERWORD.
Thanks everyone for participating in our first major Event Decision! We hope you had fun discussing what to do both ICly and OOCly.
After failing to capture the second Imugi and also failing to save a large portion of Seoul's population, characters will be shipped back to Japan. The events of the TDM will springboard from there. Feel free to use this post to thread out any aftermath threads if you would like.
All tags on this log are worth 2 points and will count towards August AC.
Perhaps. Perhaps not. We may well have simply been caught up in the destruction.
[ A hard fact that he doesn't particularly like. Every instinct says they should've been where the battle was, even if logic says many were too hurt to contribute. ]
We cannot undo what has past, Little Stinger, but we can learn from it. We must ensure it is not a lesson any of our pack soon forgets.
[ Yor turns her head a touch to regard him, a faint smile coming up on reflex. ]
Yes, I'm sorry. I was just thinking out loud. [ The smile disappears as she looks back out at the ruined landscape. The distant cries. The smell of smoke and blood. ] I don't think anyone will forget this. Not when we're here, seeing it with our own eyes.
[ She grips her hands together tighter. Her knuckles turn white. Her fingertips burn red. ]
This is...this is why I fight. It always has been. To prevent this from happening to anyone else.
[ You know, when a giant lizard man assures you everything will be alright, you kind of just have to believe it! Yor's definitely feeling replenished a little. The rain threatening her flame is too much of a drizzle to fully dampen it. ]
Absolutely. There are many who still need protecting.
[ He gives her a nod. Yes sure the human population has been greatly reduced in this world but that doesn't mean the number isn't still staggering. ]
However for now it is vital we see to our own pack. Not all are as steadfast as yourself, many will have this failure cling to their hearts rather than spur their flame. Lend aid where you can. You may not be thanked for it by some, but it is of importance to do so.

We shall train when we return to the lair. Rest and prepare, it is the best we can do to protect those who still need us.
