Second contact:
"We can do both, and we infact do have the stuff. The stuff that can achieve one's hopes and dreams, their very secrets to their or others nightmares, and achieving their very desires. Similar to the great evolution of Valhalla, it can benefit or nothing at all. The use is up to the user, even if it isn't for it's intention."

National events:
Hundreds more crabs of all species have appeared upon the shores, and some crabs hunting down nearby residents to fishing villages. In others people have simply gone missing without a trace, and thus the celestial sea was closed off by the military until the situation either ends, or militaristic final solution is put in place.
R&D:
The A.N.G.E.L. project was nearing 110% completion. Half of the uniforms were completed, and more training would continue with a rare dozen few. One of them appeared to succeed far better than the others, and was given the task of forming up a battalion. The recruitment flyer essentially just daring whoever that was a mage to join service. Detailing that there is no pay, death is ensured, and there are little to no benefits. The flyer also used a drawing of one of the two best mages, and displayed a giant Hypori crab titled as a spider crab being 10 meters high. In the skies would be mages with strange looking weaponry, which were firing at it. The flyer was fancy since the richer portion of the empire believed in motivation through action, or illustrated art. Once finalization was completed and the flyer sent out, 100 mages would join just for the hell of it along with 200 mages already in the military. No one more was in, and soon training would take place. The training was said to be far more hellish than any other training known, and would coincide with tank testing in the near future for a percentage of the training.
Armor modernization would be completed. This would utilize all known armor modernization in the past, using already modernized armored knee-high boots, a new reinforced helm, breastplate, new shoulder Pauldrons, a better visor, and full body coverage. [Despite armor appearing to not cover the groin area, but you can probably imagine what goes there to stop bullets.] The new suit of armor was nicknamed the "Guardian" And "Sentry" but officially [currently] named the T-45D Heavy Armor. Due to the amount of parts from other uniforms/armor, they was already enough parts to quickly create 10 models. All of which undergone different and various testing. 3 models hit at close range with melee weaponry and some firearms and surviving them all. 3 more models directly undergone rifle testing in which the armor survived 2 - 3 Mauser rounds at close range before the armor was rendered broken and eventually useless, another suit surviving 5 rounds at medium range and simply breaking. However still being usable if held together, and surviving 8 - 14 rounds at long rage distance before the armor broke or showed signs of considerable stress. The rest of the suits were put up against machinegun fire from varying distance. Melee range - close range, medium range, long range, and "sniper" very long range. The armor was completely useless against surviving at close range distance, survived 5 rounds before breaking but caused strong kinetic forces on the wearer and made it hard to stand at medium range, the armor could survive 10 rounds from long range, and the suit could survive 7 - 10 rounds from extremely long range. However due to a machinegun's nature, these tests were quite unnecessary due to it firing multiple bullets from the mauser. Thus all information is void. Due to a high price, only 1,000 suits were ordered for military use. The T-45D would be the most advanced infantry armor ever constructed since the medieval ages. The armor proves that the armor of days since passed may be old, but are not quite obsolete. The most noteworthy about the T-45's construction being the "helm" and the fact that it does not utilize any form of magic. The helmet essentially functions as not only full protection, but also as a form of gas mask but not in the traditional way. It utilizes glass in it's visor to allow a greater amount of visibility, but makes it difficult to shoot into. It also uses a see through fabric which hides the wearers eyes/face. However, the suit is heavy due to it's purpose. The suit requires the wearer to train in it for at least a month, to be able to get used to any problems and the weight.
The tank project would simply continue. Due to the advanced and new vehicles of war being developed, not too many can be built at the current moment. However, older prototype vehicles and vehicles still under construction would now have refitted modern day engines. Having the new Stalin 6 cylinder V2 engines, and allowing them a faster speed. However they all pale in comparison to the mark V's naval engine. In the same time, Research of how a super heavy tank would work and be built has completed and a new vehicle would eventually be worked on. However, the elephant would never get past the planning stage, as it was considered obsolete by the K designated super tank. Also done, is the completion of the prototypes of the mark IV* and mark IV**. Having now been given refit engines, and better armor. However, the most drastic changes of actual note was with the mark IV**. It now utilizes bigger "sub tanks" to float in the water, and is not capable of submerging or rising like the prototype use to. This was to ensure that flooding never happens again because it would always get flooded, and that the tank continues to serve it's purpose of transportation. Thus making it a water-capable version of the mark IV* except primarily for supplies. The order for these tanks would thus be approved, after the changes had convinced the military that they were useful. All focuses were now on super heavy tank construction as priority, and fulfilling previous orders in time as second highest priority. All other refits or concepts were either temporarily halted, or were entirely cancelled to serve this new purpose.
Russian Arctic Research Facility:
More research would be conducted primarily on the crab feeding habits. The Velmor proved to not be a threat to humanoids, and the Spider crabs would now be in an inactive state. However the Hypori would now be active in their cell. For science reasons the scientists ordered the new "shampoo" for Scientific research purposes. "What the hell is this?" one of them asked. "From the Verindum institute of biology." After this one interaction, research would continue. The Spider crabs and Hypori would be discovered to have a exoskeleton. This would soon be drawn and also sent back to civilization. Meanwhile hours later, 2 of the researchers and the lead would be standing infront of the "Hypori containment zone" and watching them. One with their arms crossed, another just staring for any signs of movement, and the lead just standing in the back. "So what do we do with this 'Shampoo' that we got?" one would ask. "Simple Dimitri, we test their reaction and tolerance to it. See if we can control them or influence them in any way, even if it requires the use of all our resources." After hearing this one of the researchers only nodded her head, as she looked down and picked up a bar of shampoo from a box. "Very well. Let's begin testing." She would climb up the stairs to the second level and above the now-turned-cells. After taking a box of shampoo with her, she would proceed to open the ceiling hatch. "Careful Annikova, you do not want to fall in with these crabs. They'll rip you limb from limb like they did to Benson." The lead warned her. She would just pause temporarily before going back to opening the hatch/vent. "You should know by now that she does not like to remember these things, you remember the last time? she had to stay in our shitty makeshift therapy room." Dimitri complained while whispering to the lead. "Oh yes, right..." Being all he replied. Soon after two guards in the nearby hallway was discussing about the crabs. "You heard about what these things did to the Englishman stationed here? Poor bastard didn't even make it the second week." One said. "I heard they are still cleaning the blood, and it has been five days. What could make such a mess?" They would soon be interrupted by hearing something hit the door behind them. "Wa-" before continuing, the guard was hit in the face by a bar of shampoo. "What the?" They would then be interrupted again. "Alright that is enough. We do not tolerate immaturity in a high risk environment. I am going to have to ask you to stop, or I am throwing you in with the crabs." The guards just saluted. "Yes sir." And the researcher would also stop throwing bars of shampoo at them.
Annikova would grab another bar and look down into the cell, proceeding to throw a bar into one of the Hypori crabs. In the process of hitting the crab with soap, it simply didn't budge. Instead it would just get up from it's original "laying down" position, and start banging away at the observation glass. Dimitri slightly flinching. "Do not worry, it's extremely thick glass. They cannot break out of there." The lead then crossing his arms and watching the crab repeatedly poke, stab, and ram itself against the glass. The crab didn't stop even when more soap was thrown at it. "This just seems like one sick joke..." Dimitri complained. "That might be the case, but if we have to do it then we will." A few hours later, the Hypori crab had calmed down. Testing had stopped, but the facility seemed to at times have parts of it black out. With various complaints about temporary power loss. At midnight however, a majority of researchers and non-military personnel had gone to sleep. The lead, Dimitri, and 2 other researchers were the only ones awake for different reasons. Dimitri had to feed the crabs, the lead had to monitor the crabs, and the other researchers had to place the "free" Velmor crab back into it's cell.
Other:
Emily has been stuck in the wild without help of any kind for 9+ months. Having endured the thick forests and desert altogether... Despite this, she had received vast injuries through the 9 months she has been away from all of civilization. However, she has survived this. She would of returned to the cathedral with ripped clothing at midnight, where she was welcomed back and given new clothes. Since they had a lack however, they just gave her a spare robe to wear. She would be asked to remain in the cathedral and recover. The priest simply nodding when informed of this, and believed his goal had been achieved. In the same time, Emily's comrade, Hanz would occasionally visit her in his free time.
Expansion:
Expansion to the south would continue in the name of science, and long with it, more research facilities. However this time, a large body of water would be discovered and be where one of the largest research facilities would be constructed. It was also part of the empire's mountain range, and thus would grant the facility a greater chance of discovering something new.
