===Part 10===

Kobayashi Satori here.

This will be our final briefing.



Operation Giant Scramble.

Our objective is to defeat the Ruler who is threatening this entire world and to bring peace to the continent.



The operation begins today at 2000 hours.

It will take place at the former site of the continent’s central mountain range.



Due to the continuing countdown and the unpredictability of when the Ruler will walk this way again, this will obviously be the final opportunity for the Izanami and Izanagi.

Pilots, survival is not enough.

If we intend to carry the burden of this world’s fate despite no one asking it of us, then we must use this one and only opportunity to defeat the Ruler.



I will now go over a general outline of Operation Giant Scramble.

The Ruler is extremely powerful, so ordinary autocannons and missiles are not enough to harm her skin.

But she is made of the same military cells as the Girlish Weapons, so we believe she breathes oxygen and eats petroleum to function just like they do.

So no matter how powerful she might be, she can be defeated by taking one or the other from her.

She is a living being, but we must think of her more like an engine.



We can’t even guess how long she can function after refueling. Determining her fuel level through external observation would be a challenge.

But she should be constantly breathing. Just like stalling an engine, if we obstruct her air intake, she should lose her power. That option has the greatest odds of success.

Now.

Misaka-sama’s 101 Squadron and the rest of the squadrons participating in the attack will be supplied with plenty of thermobaric explosives. They are a tactical weapon adapted from a fuel-air explosive. By burning a wide area at as high a temperature as possible, they will rob that area of oxygen.

Use them to burn away all the oxygen around the Ruler.

She is 1800m tall, so “around her” covers a very large area. Thus, we recommend you directly attack her face to cover her mouth and nose with the flames and oxygen-deficient air.

Of course, one bombing will not be sufficient. Ideally, each fighter will work in unison to keep bombing her so her breathing is continually obstructed.

Even she shouldn’t last long once she is unable to breathe.

We estimate it will take 10-15 minutes for her to suffocate and cease functioning after the oxygen is taken from her. The fate of this world rests on that time.



That might not seem like much, but I am sure it will feel like the longest 15 minutes in our lives.

Good luck.
