I want to post, but I'm too busy -.- Homework and all...
@IncredibleBee
Would Vincent have something like a mission control (aka Bridge Bunnies) helping him? I have an idea for my next post, but it kind of swings around this, so if not I'd have to rethink how to reveal the plot around that assassin.
<Snipped quote by KoL>
Vincent's officially backed by the governments of several powerful countries. He would have a support team consisting of medics, scientists, engineers and the like to patch him up, repair his gear, and study any findings after each incursion (for example, all the monster gore stuck to his swords.) as well as provide him with intel relating to the city itself and anything they might discover about Youkai and what's best for fighting them. Ideally, yes, this would include a support team giving him info live via radio.
However, in my first post I wrote that radio transmissions couldn't pass between the human world and Crimson world, because to my knowledge they're in different dimensions. If we're gonna do this, I'd like an explanation for why radios could still connect to the human world, OR a decent idea for how technology can circumvent the problem, OR you really, really can't think of how to reveal the plot otherwise.
Also if you want a decent way to reveal assassin plot, Vincent's trying to chop the leader's arms and legs off so he can interrogate him.

Well, you are forgetting the satellite, not? If he can send commands to it, he can also receive transmissions as well. More over, it must be built and operated by YTC's technology, so it's really no problem at all.
As for your suggestion, that is exactly why the mission control would be needed, he doesn't know anything about that Youkai, to begin with the fact that there was at least one more of them around. More than that would be spoiling, but believe that what I have planned is good.

He can send and receive transmissions to summon drop pods, but the satellite enters and exits the dimension with him. The problem is sending transmissions to the Human World from the Crimson World.
Also, it wasn't built using YTC technology. Vincent was part of a really dangerous project involving human experimentation that a public corporation wouldn't be allowed to work on; his augments and weapons were created using military scientists. I was considering DARPA was the major developer behind most of his weapons, for example.

Well, I won't force my ideas on you if you don't want to, but know that you should know that YTC is a PMC (actually, like the Umbrella from Resident Evil, most of YTC income, comes from military contracts) and they do build things for governments ask over the world using Crimson Sky based tech. They are specifically the only Company that can do so and for good reason (they shut down any competition in the harshest easy possible).
Also, most of the mechanical issues you are mentioning really aren't of any big importance. There's electric power on the Crimson Sky, and the radio stations are still there, so making a call is possible unless some specific circumstances happen to jam it. Obviously, the reception should be crappy for normal devices (as the genre dictates) but it still works.
@IncredibleBee
Just mind one thing, it's impossible to have Crimson Sky related technology that has nothing to do with YTC (unless your character created it on their own, but that's not the case with Vincent), even if the project he's in isn't being ran by them, the tech still comes from them. Actually, it must be stolen tech, because they would never lend prototypes to contractors which paints a giant target in his back because YTC will try to shut down the whole project and if they want to there's little that coalition can do to avoid it.
@IncredibleBee
You're still misunderstanding something, but this is the last time will make an effort about it.
When have I said that YTC's yeah is all magical based? They research the Crimson Sky, to build technologic things, magitech isn't their usual game. Plus, you should recheck out, but it's quote specific that they deal with pharmaceutical research and unscrupulous things like what Vincent went through. You are thinking they are building magical holocoms, and death rays, when what they do are drugs and implants to enhance soldier performance and next generation arms. The magical projects rarely ever see the day light.
Second, how is it that you perform an assuredly lethal body overhaul like Vincent got without the technology described above? Also, the dimension crossing satellite is absolutely impossible without YTC's tech being party of its core drive.
So who are we waiting for?
