"Project Atragon is nearly complete, as is the Super-X2. There are a few more projects that you will be made privy to as a Captain, but they're generally not far enough along to consider. So, let's discuss your options."
She turns around and points to a screen, which shows images of five ships. "Project Atragon is nearing completing on a small fleet of anti-kaiju ships: The Atragon, the Gotengo, the Eclair, the Rumbling, and the Karyu. The Atragon and Gotengo have already been assigned to Captain Gyozen and Commander Gordon respectively, leaving the remaining three as options for you."
"First is the Eclair," she tells you, focusing the image to one of the airships, which is distinct by the giant ball at the tip of it. "She is equipped to fire eight MA-PM020 heat-seeking proton missiles simultaneously, as well as two miniature plasma maser beam cannons, and an iron ball maser cannon."
To demonstrate the latter weapon, you are shown footage of a gigantic ball of maser energy being shot from the tip of the ship. The screen then shifts to another of the ships, this one slightly less long than the other two.
"This is the Rumbling, like the Eclair she is equipped with two miniature plasma maser beam cannons, and MA-PM020 heat-seeking proton missiles. She can also fire a Magnum Maser from her central cannon."
Footage demonstrates by displaying the ship firing a large beam of maser energy. The footage then shifts to the final member of the fleet. This one looks quite similar to the Rumbling, but has something like a large blade sticking out of its front.
"This is the Karyu," she tells you. "She comes equipped with the standard MA-PM020 heat-seeking proton missiles, double miniature plasma maser cannons, along with maser defense turrets and a Blade Maser, designed specifically to cut through its targets."
