Rolled 3 (1d3)
>>6020387The Lobster moves into the patch of ocean that Shelob once harvested radiation from. The remnants of the nuclear bomb are fully absorbed by it, stored within its cells for further use. It then comes ashore on Japan, attracting the attention of the JSDF. They can’t afford an attack while The Herald is laying waste to China so near by, so they mobilise their new largest weapon to mount a defense.

Japan provides MECHA-PENYU as a prime target via positioning! They march out the giant robot, making it difficult to assault the country without first meeting it.
>>6020412The mech’s adaptive systems push power towards several areas that it sees fit to prioritise. The JSDF are caught off guard by this level of control, but they chalk it down to residual instinct left over from the turtle. Reactive shielding and electro-weaponry are supercharged for the moment, making it easier to get a hit in.
>MECHA-PENYU has spent 1 energy > 3/4>MECHA-PENYU’s Stamina is increased by 1 degree for the next hit. >MECHA-PENYU has spent 1 energy > 2/4>MECHA-PENYU’s Strength is increased by 1 degree for the next attack. While it does this, they send the beast out on its maiden voyage. It makes a beeline for G.E.L, coming within sight and placing itself between it and the nearest population center. Evacuation efforts are underway, and the mech is made to power its weapons in preparation.

Shroomy has constructed a battery for MECHA-PENYU, that arrives for retrofitting just before it’s made to bait the Lobster. See Shroomy’s turn for information.
