Colossus By Design: Entry 0028 - Take Nothing But

[September 22, 2145]
[Vancouver, Canadian origin continent]
[Vancouver Airfield - Main Hangar]

[Temporary repair bay for Thomas Scott]
[Dr. Laura Reed oversees repair operations of Thomas's body as hangar bay doors open up]
[Satoshi Yamane a.k.a. "Serizawa's Light" enters the hangar, looking at the unconscious Thomas]


(Dr. Reed): Ah, Mr. Yamane, good to see you!

(Satoshi): Thank you, Dr. Reed. So, this is the one?

(Dr. Reed): Indeed. I'm sure you've heard the reports by now.

(Satoshi): Yes, I have. What exactly happened?

(Dr. Reed): We don't know, and our records show no instances of this at all.

(Satoshi): When will he be conscious again?

(Dr. Reed): Could be days, weeks even. He's sustained heavy damage, and this hangar isn't the best facility to do repairs, but we had no other choice.

(Satoshi): Well, when he does awaken, pass this message on.


[Satoshi crouches down to Dr. Reed's level,and moves his hand to her]
[Dr. Reed notices a small storage device on the tip of his index finger and grabs it]


(Dr. Reed): Wait, how did you--


[Satoshi stands back up and begins leaving, briefly turning back to Dr. Reed before exiting the hangar]


(Satoshi): Lots of practice.

[September 24, 2145]
[Vancouver, Canadian origin continent]
[Vancouver Airfield - Main Hangar]

[Thomas Scott begins to awaken]


(Dr. Reed): Everyone, cease all activity! Mr. Scott is coming back online!


[Engineers and other workers quickly cease activity and move off the premises]
[Thomas sits up, putting his hand on his forehead]


(Thomas): Ughhh...... Dr. Reed? What happened?

(Dr. Reed): Well, Mr. Scott, you managed to eliminate that P.E.M.F., in a rather...... unexpected manner.

(Thomas): Unexpected?

(Dr. Reed): You'll be briefed later. Right now, you have visitors.

(Thomas): Who?

(Dr. Reed): Your fanclub.


[One door of the hangar on the upper levels opens up, and a bunch of school children pour in, all excited to see their very first up-close Warmonger]
[At this, Dr. Reed smirks and leaves]


(Teacher): Kids, this is our nation's very own Warmonger. Please be polite and if you have a question, please raise your hand--

(Kid 1): Wow, you're a giant robot!

(Kid 2): How many monsters did you kill?

(Kid 3): Do you need to go to the bathroom in that thing?

(Kid 4): Can you show us your weapons?

(Teacher): Kids, kids, please, slow down! I'm terribly sorry about them!

(Thomas): Not at all. It's kinda nice to have my own little fans. Alright kids, just sit tight and ask away.


[Kids settle down, and one of them raises their hand]


(Thomas): Yes, you.

(Kid 1): I heard that you guys are actually people inside those giant robots. Is that true?

(Thomas): Yes, yes it is true. This Warmonger's name is the Freedom of Justice, but you can call me Thomas, kids.


[Another kid raises their hand]


(Thomas): And you?

(Kid 3): Umm..... Mr. Thomas?

(Thomas ): Go on, I'm listening.

(Kid 3): Well.... I just wanted to know..... What's it like in there?

(Thomas): Well, that's a good question. It's like having a band spanking new suit, and when you put it on for the first time, it feels a little weird, but soon, you get used to it like your own skin. Sure, there are a few extra parts, but it's pretty cool. Anyone else?

(Teacher): I'm sorry, Thomas, but I'm afraid our trip is over.

(Kids): Awww.....

(Thomas): Your teacher's right. You kids need to stay in school. Just let me do all the monster hunting, and you guys can watch, alright?

(Kids): Okay.


[Kids leave the hangar; Thomas Scott lies back down]

[September 24, 2145]
[Moon's surface]
[Global Union of Divisions Extra-Solar Observatory Base]

[Engineers down below the surface level work on some of the base's power cores]


(Engineer 1): Alright, let's test this out.


[Engineer flips a switch, and all the lights come back on; everything else goes back into full motion]


(Engineer 2): Alright, everything's a-okay now! That was one heck of an 18-day blackout!

(Engineer 1): At least we didn't run out of air or food before then. Command, everything is now secure. Procedures can continue unhindered.


[One more level below, an odd rock a kilometre in size and pulsating with orange light is being observed]


(Researcher 1): Copy that. Anomalous specimen is clear for further testing.

(Researcher 2): So, are its EMP effects under control now?

(Researcher 1): Yes. I'm glad we managed to capture this asteroid instead of destroying it 18 days ago.
