Finally, the last picture appeared.
It was a frog, once again a humanoid giant version of the animal, and admiring and showing off its newfound bulk, proving it wasn't less sapient than the others.
"This one comes from a swamp in Florida," commented the colonel. "Again, troops are being sent out as a precautionary measure."
A silence followed as the soldiers digested these shocking news.
"All right, squadron, we will separate in four groups, one for each. I'll personally assume command of the group that'll deal with the rooster. Blazcowicz, the group of the tortoise's yours. Walker, you lead the scorpion's one. As for the frog's team, Jimenez, you're it. On all groups, for now, we don't act directly. We let the regular army do the direct interactions. Our job's to investigate and discover where they came from, what created them. Once that's done, or if they get agressive, we'll reevaluate the situation and act accordingly. Understood?"
"SIR YES SIR!!"
"Then prepare your equipment, we go in thirty minutes! DISMISSED!!"

Hey there! So, here we are, with my review for the last part of the Briefing on the Kaiju Rising! We've got an interesting one this time, even with taking the previous animals featured into account! A frog this time! Certainly not an animal that usually comes to mind when considering macros, but that's kind of the whole point of this after all! So with such an interesting situation, let's not waste any time and get right to it!
So, first up, as I mentioned above, this Kaiju is a frog! How very interesting indeed! I'd like to ask, where did the inspiration for having a frog as a character from? It certainly does make him very unique indeed - as far as I'm aware at least, there are no macro frog characters elsewhere, so he's quite distinctive. In-universe and out, ha ha!
His location is very interesting as well, being in a Floridian swamp. Well, it makes sense how he got spotted at least, people are around there quite frequently I believe. However, the location becomes more interesting when you consider that it's a swamp. The previous Kaiju have all been sighted in locations that are related to their species in some way. Perhaps they gravitate to biomes their species are naturally suited to? However, that fails to explain the urbanised locations - Boise is hardly an environment you'd usually find a rooster in, being a large city. Outside of urban farming at least! They appear to be sapient - but could they be aware of cities' relevance to their species? Hmm, questions, questions, and so many possibilities...
Again, much with the previous chapter, his introduction does seem a little on the 'tell, not show' side, but I've already mentioned that in my previous review, so I won't go into any great detail here - I'd simply be repeating myself. Speaking of prior Kaiju though, Camo Squadron is moving in to handle the situation in all areas! They're hoping things will work out, but as the saying goes - 'Hope for the best, plan for the worst.' A little grammar thing by the way - I think you mean 'Again, troops are being sent out as a precautionary measure.' or something along those lines rather than 'Again, preventative troops are sent.' Also, the line 'A silence.' could probably be improved in some way I'm sure, but I won't insult your capabilities by suggesting how to write that out, he he. You are, after all, a very capable writer!
Now, with the details on all the Kaiju on the table, so to speak, Camo Squadron needs to make their move! It's all well and good learning about the situation - intelligence is absolutely essential - but you need to use that intelligence in planning out a response. Fortunately, Offick clearly has a plan already formulated! The Squadron will split into four, each headed up by different people and heading to monitor different Kaiju! Offick makes sense for dealing with one, and one would naturally assume that the others must be of either high rank or well-trusted. While they're not engaging in direct interaction, their job is essentially investigating their origins, which is very important indeed! Speaking of which, I like that they're not the ones interacting with them directly, the public would likely expect the Army to be the first Federal force to respond, which would let Came Squadron focus on investigation without the interference of the media. Who knows what they'll find? What could create these Kaiju? Aliens? Radiation? Well, at this time, nobody knows, but whatever it is, Camo Squadron will have to find out!
A nice ending to this Briefing I have to say, the only 'concern' with that, is I think you mean 'dismissed' rather 'dismiss', but that's just a tiny grammar thing, ha ha! In all seriousness though, this was a very intelligent manner of getting around introducing these new characters while avoiding a massive exposition dump - by making the exposition dump a part of the plot, and it makes complete sense. Furthermore, you've also clearly put work into introducing the main characters, both Kaiju and human without simply describing them. We can tell Camo Squadron are more than dumb muscle, Offick appears to be a competent and reasonable commander, and the Kaiju are obviously sapient, and evidently not interested in causing damage or putting people in danger!
All in all, I had a great time reading these, and writing these reviews, and I hope you enjoyed reading them! Hopefully I've been able to provide some constructive criticism in a helpful manner! Take care man, and have a great evening!

You think that's easy, to imagine ways to describe the same thing with dozens of characters without eventually repeating yourself or wanting to get straight to the point?
Still, modifications made

Yeah, they're high rank.
As for the answer, again, it's in one of the following pics

Corrected.
And thanks ^^
Thanks for the reviews, and as always, can't wait for the next one!
Take care ^^

Hey there!
So, first up, not a lot to change on this one, but that's hardly a problem! It seems that a lot of information will become clearer in future pictures, and that's a good thing! It is, after all, a story, so that's kind of what you want!
Also, I just want to say, sorry if it seemed like I was being a little... I don't know to put it, but I hope I wasn't being aggravating with mentioning about the 'show, not tell' point. I appreciate, it must be difficult to consider how to write the same thing out multiple times. I hope I didn't come across in such a way. It certainly wasn't my intention.
Still, I'm glad you at least enjoyed the reviews. I think I'll get a few more done for Kaiju Rising before moving on...
Thanks man, you take care too.
