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.

[ for a fraction of a heartbeat Nanami is worried that this man might be some kind of religious person, but as he listens to Silco, those concerns are quietly put to rest.
he can't claim to share Silco's experience. his world has its own horrors but they're of a different kind. ]
They're not asking to be coddled. They were asking for protection. This isn't a class issue, they're just ordinary people who are up against giant monsters.
[ and to Nanami the best way to protect them was to hunt down the remaining beast, even if it didn't work out in the end. ]
His smile splits a touch wider. Nanami has touched on something particular, after all. Ordinary people, he thinks, are not without the ability to become more. ]
[ what indeed, what indeed? someone with a complex. someone with enough strength and determination to, as Silco said, claw his way up from the bottom, but with his values knocked askew. like a certain someone Nanami knows actually. ]
What I think doesn't matter. It'd be more interesting to hear what you think you are.
[ A chuckle, now. Almost amused, but not quite, like all the humor had been sucked out of him long ago. ]
I am them. Do you think I speak this lightly? With no experience?
[ His hand gestured in the vague direction of the city. ] It is insulting. For us and them, to simply wipe this clean with no death or sacrifice on their part. It is insulting to simply wipe the danger from this world โ at no little cost to ourselves โ because we "pity" them. If LILITH would give me this nanotechnology, then why not them? Because they're more valuable? Because they wish to throw us into the grinder instead of them?
[ So. Silco may be psychotic, and obnoxious, but at the very least, he does not lack for conviction. ]
It is an insult to both sides to coddle them and treat them as if they are incapable.
