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.
[ Silco, you naughty man. Set adores you so much. ]
I knew you would want to help. Well, perhaps not "help" in the traditional sense of altruism... but, this rotten little world is fighting against oppressors in the form of great beasts. It's right up your alley, Silco.
[ Is this a therapeutic reframing exercise for the ex-Zenite? The angry little man that had been ready to burn every world, and now must fight for one on the brink of its own end? Set's been grappling with it, himself. He'd love to let it die if that were to be its fate, despite that he had been on the side of a faction that had promoted the rekindling and reconstruction of destroyed realms. ( Also LILITH did implant him with the You Will Help content, mostly as a precautionary measure. )
He does stand by the fact that if he had gotten to Silco first, he might have been able to sway him to Meridian. In another life. And in fact, this is another life. Another chance. ]
I can offer, at the least. If they accept, they will be better for it.
[ He lunges for the bottle as Silco picks it up, pressing his fingers to the neck so that he can tip it into his mouth for a swallow. Laughing brightly as he does so. ]
โ you have much you could teach them, too. About the little people, the ones who fight back against a greater enemy.
I could, but they would need to actually fight themselves.
[ That's the crux of it. Though Set's words... they're tucked away, perhaps the nanomachines will use that to their advantage later. (They Will) Silco does not want to help, because he sees nothing of worth, but he's being drug along, kicking and screaming and complaining the entire time.
Set dinks straight from the bottle, and Silco sighed and rolled his eyes, before he did the same. Were they just casually sharing a bottle of liquor between the two of them?
Yes. Because that's what soulmatesreflections mean girl besties did. ]
That is what I want from this world, you know. The little people to fight. To not just accept this and not put their head in the sand. Maybe between us, we can change something. It would be better than only accepting, and fighting, like it is an endless, ceaseless shield against their doom.
If they wanted that, I think they chose poorly, between us.
