Oh great, Cyborg Dolphins. Next thing you Japanistan will have transforming Helicopters, the Crimson Star Republic will have giant double barreled tanks with anti aircraft missile launchers rolling out of her factories and Shady will have mind controlled Giant squids terrorising the waterways.

They were dog brain tanks, actually... Between them and Shady's Kirov airships it looks like we're three for three so far

The Dolphins reminded me of my own Uber Soldier project. I should follow up on that.

Since Shroom will be gone for the next two weeks, I'll just have to skip the Shroomania part of my tour and go on ahead to Byzantium.
Also, since when did Japanistan use R-99s? I thought I was the only one who used those.

I threw R-99s in because at the time, I didn't have the original Japanistani OOB.

Well, if you want to go with your initial plan of retconning Japanistan's arsenal from mostly-Russian stuff to mostly-French stuff, you can keep the R-99s. A possible in-universe explanation could be that the Japanistanis bought regular civilian ERJ 145s from Kyoto Aviation in Langley (as far as I know, I'm only one of two people here who makes Embraer aircraft; you make your own Super Tucanos for the Katangwans, while I produce most of Embraer's existing catalog through KyoAvi), then later modified them with their own avionics. As long as it works...

Actually, bionics experiments with dolphins and rat brains aren't too far out there, Zor

it's definetely in the "real world projects" as opposed to "RED ALERT".

Well, I'm sure Siege will find a way to survive and... PROFIT.

Seriously, do you want the CSR to
care? Because you know, for us "care" is not the same "care" as in Care Bears

Be careful what you wish for.

Sidney Hank's world blurred. One moment he was in the cabin, the next a bodyguard grabbed his arm and dragged him to the side door. Then he was plunging through space. Air rushed by. Somewhere above him things were exploding. He fell, catching glimpses of sky, ground, sky, ground. Flaming debris pattered past him.
...you know, cars can also be armored against this kind of thing. Just a thought

We can solve the Japanistani problem by invoking
Shroomzilla and sicking him on Super Mega New Tokyo.
EDIT:
And you guys
should wonder
who gave Siege his silly ideas.
EDIT 2:
Oh shit! PRIDE ONE DOWN! WE GOT PRIDE ONE DOWN!

It was totalled by a dump truck loaded with five tonnes of explosives and several anti-armor rifles. An RPG it actually could take

Hmm...DAMN.
I completely forgot the IRT. Still, they didn't appear to lodge protests against the last 14-day Soyuz flight

Either that or you carefully managed to avoid the IRT in your marathon flight.
