Jump 389: Pacific Rim

Jump #389: Pacific Rim
>Knight of Pentacles: The will to the change the world, not through bold action, but through the thorough and unwavering application of proven means.
Peace through superior firepower.
>Age: 23
>Location: Anchorage
>Identity: Experimental Human/Kaiju Hybrid
Gee, so I went from being a lab assistant to a lab rat.
>Drawbacks: (+600) Heavy-Hansen'd, Top of the Wall
AMERICA, FUCK YEAH. I will be playing that up to the hilt - we're going to find out where the Kaiju are coming from, and we're going to free the shit out of them. Though of course the lab jerks decided to hide me by shipping me out and putting me to work on the wall. Yeah, that won't go wrong.
>Kaiju Behavioral Studies (Free, Hybrid)
Well I sure as hell HOPE I'd know how kaiju work considering I AM one now.
>Might, Speed, Toughness (Free, Hybrid)
At least I'm a cut above the others who are my size.
>Extra Limbs (600)
Actually these aren't so much stand-alone limbs as they are part of the wings. I look like a Disney-style gargoyle that's as tall as a football field is long.
>Wings (Free, Hybrid)
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a Kaiju should be able to fly.
>Invisibility (Free, Hybrid)
Fortunately, no one will see me while I'm flying around. Which is hilarious.
>Wait, I Died? (Free, Hybrid)
I'm pretty sure I can manage this by imparting certain other aspects, but hey, at least now there's actually an excuse?
>Iron Skin (500)
Not gonna lie. Nukes are overrated. But at least I can survive "friendly" fire if need be.
>An Extra Pair Of Hands (0)
I get my companions, and though don't get anything but origin stuff, they DO get to share my background?

Sore telling me is that humanity has nine Kaiju on its side now.

The first five years of my stay in this jump are really, really annoying. I'm supposed to be able to turn into a monster or something, and yet I can't, because I'm stuck building this damn wall.

Granted, it's going to be a hell of a lot more durable than it might have been otherwise, but literally everyone working on this stupid thing knows that nothing like this is going to stop some sort of goddamn monster. Though the wall in Anchorage gets finished so my crew transfers down to Australia.

And yes, while I'm there, I'm wearing shades and an American flag bandana.

Naturally, five years to the day, a Kaiju attacks and destroys the wall - I had a feeling this was going to happen, thankfully, so the casualties among our workers was near-zero. Not to mention that somehow, someone alerted the authorities in Sydney, and the city was evacuated. And someone hacked into the systems that notify of Kaiju alerts to send one off before it was even detected, so a couple of Jaegers were waiting in Sydney to take care of things.

Seems after this, I was abruptly able to turn into a Kaiju, but you know what? Screw that. America doesn't need anyone to do that sort of thing for them. In fact, America doesn't need ANY of this shit. An arranged minor accident with a US Navy carrier later, a few warheads fall from a ship while it's in transit, and I pick them up to work with them and do a few improvements. And then I use Kaleidoscope bullshit to just completely circumvent the plot, walk into the Anteverse, drop a nuke with sufficient yield to blow a hole to the mantle, then walk back and close the portal behind me.

The monitoring equipment at the rift picks up Slattern coming through, before something goes horribly wrong; a wave of energy and an immense fireball causes the monster to be propelled upward through the water as it was consumed by the superheated water. I'm sure it had a negative effect on various ecosystems, but frankly, when Slattern fell back to the water it was in several pieces.

I was in a fishing boat nearby, drinking a beer and wearing sunglasses. And getting a tan on an American flag towel.

America. Fuck yeah.
