Retech

Yay Wubbles! :D Jen feeds Wubbles little bits of tin ore, while storing some of it for later. Then she takes out a little piece of tin ore and asks Wubbles to melt it for her (she's not holding the ore, it's on the ground).

Japan doesn't have any orbital weapons, if that's what you thought about the nasty surprise thing. I personally do not support orbital weapons, but you never know when a giant asteroid comes around. <_<

After completing their training, she wonders how they did. Then she heads to the mine and sets Wubbles done, telling her to stay still while Jen looks for something for her to eat. Then she looks for something for Wubbles to eat in the mine, careful to keep watch on Wubbles at all times.

(Huh, what?)

"Oh, so you want to eat?" Jen tells Wubbles that after she practices lava magic for a bit on the targets she set up, then they can go and get something to eat. If she starts practicing, then Jen practices polemacery on the targets she made for a while, watching to make sure Wubbles isn't moving away.

Jen sits Wubbles on her lap, and "asks" her what she wants to do.

(She's outside, calling into the tower. I'm too lazy to write that out) (Isn't that Rocco's tree?) Jen tries to put out the fire with water magic, before going back to practicing with Wubbles. (Did Wubbles get any experience for that? :P)

Just noting that India was barred from stationing troops in Malaysia, since that is part of the Japanese security zone, where no foreign power my station its soldiers there.

Well that was rude! I only want the best for Wubbles. :( -Plans bloody revenge on Exile- Errr, what was that? - Jen, having returned to her home, sets up several ice targets of different height. Some are small and round, roughly 1 foot in radius. Some are human shaped. Jen practices with her polemace on the human-shaped ones, and encourages Wubbles to practice lava magic on the small ones.

Japan sends to the Head Sere in the heavens. "What the hell happened in Mongolia?"

I'm not a big fan of that head mage guy. He seems stuffy to me. <_<

Jen pulls her golem away. "Can you give me a book on how to raise a baby golem? It's the least you can do for this poor creature." After that, if nothing interesting other than getting a book happens, then Jen returns to her house.

^ The wise words of a wise man.

Jen says that it wouldn't be a risk to help her adorable golem, because it would only help an innocent creature survive. Then she holds her golem up and shows how adorable her eyes are, then says that it would be cruel not to train the golem in survival skills, incase something unfortunate happens to Jen.

Jen shows Wubbles to the head mage, and asks the head mage if someone from the tower could help train him in lava magicks for thirty minutes or so each day, since she's an ice magician and she doesn't exactly know much about lava or golem care.

Okay, so from what I've read, Mather tried to/did invade North Korea with Russia's permission, and Rocco and Ross are/might send troops to attack Scandanavia, or some sort of military intervention. My response is: cross into South Korea, and die. Ummm, and please go around Japanese airspace when using the Stratos Jets. There are...some nasty surprises there, so just don't go in. Maybe cross around through the Pacific near the middle, take a loop, and enter North Korea by flying over Russia.

Jen huggles Wubbles, and carries him to the Ivory tower. She shows Wubbles to the Ivory mages, and ask if she could stop by once in a while to have experts train her talented golem baby in lava magicks.

Erm, exactly why is everyone's armed forces gearing up for war? Can someone give a summary please? Jeez, the warmongerer is gone for a few hours, and everyone has their weapons ready to fire.

Jen congradulates Wubbles, and asks Wubbles to try firing the lava at the target far away.

Well we can figure that out when the time comes around. The Japanese government has issued a mandate to Mitsubishi and other industries, to be able to produce a number of exosuits based on the amount of money the government currenly funds them with. The factories will be issued with standard manufacturing equipment and the technicians will be trained for free. The goal is to be able to produce a hundred-thousand exosuits per year, at full capacity with every industry participating. This includes Honda-Toyota as well, so even car companies are given the capacity. ---------- Also, keep in mind that a decent tank costs about 60 million dollars. If a few exosuits can match that...then it doesn't make any sense to build a tank, even though tanks are clearly more efficient. (I think you turned this into a money and manufacturing game, not a population one. :P)

So arming my entire military would cost...125 billion. Are you sure they aren't more expensive? It doesn't seem so expensive right now to field exosuits.

Basically keep it as a project just between Scandanavia and Japan. Oh Ross, what would you say would be a good price for an exoskeleton? ------- In other news, the expected shortage of manpower for the Japanese Navy is approaching quickly, within the next five years. Incentives have been increased, and a major ad campaign extolling the patriotism of joining the navy is being run. One of the problems with the manpower supply is that the naval officers and personnel are some of the highest trained soldiers in the world, with their training double that of the army. The reserves of the army have been reduced to 500,000 soldiers. Those soldiers who were laid off (500,000) are being reschooled in naval camps, as well as returning to secondary reservist service, which is a voluntary drilling once a week.

Japan decides to shutter the international exoskeleton project, since there doesn't seem to be much use for it anyway. This was done in an effort to mend relations with Australia, and the fact that Japan was also disadvantaged by the project, as was Australia.

Ours will be ready in 2026, using Ross' timeline of things. (I figure that since we started about 2.5 years after, we should finish 2.5 years after. Unless you have any objections?)

Japanese researchers have discovered that it was due to the strange properties of their research room that the legos weren't working properly. Legos built by Scandanavia overseas have been allowed back on the market.
