  9. At the centre of the entire Earth's politics, R&D, and general government management, yet another meeting has been called up in the main meeting hall of the G.U.D.'s headquarters in Antarctica. After the recent flurry of major events that have transpired over the past few weeks, leading figures in the various sectors have come together to review what courses of action are to be taken to address these concerning happenings.
  10.  
  11. The speaker of the stand currently is Denouncer Lisa Ho.
  12.  
  13.  
  14. (Denouncer Ho): Thank you everyone for attending, everyone. As you're no doubt aware by now, we've had a long string of anomalous occurrences recently. The Mothra twins, the Destroyer, Jet Jaguar, Gojira, and now these Warmonger attacks. I now hand the stand to Dr. Wei Ho.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. The Chinese super-nation's denouncer steps off the podium and returns to her seat. Following this, Wei Ho's communicative hologram disappears from his seat and reappears at the podium; images and files pertaining to the various Kaiju and events involved in the Jiran Island Cluster pop up on the screen behind him. Shortly after, some of the files play their embedded videos simultaneously; some show the Jiran Island activity of Gojira, while others show the movements of Mothra and Battra.
  18.  
  19. For a short few moments, the super-species biologist allows the present representatives to digest the presented information and quietly discuss their content among themselves; Dr. Ho then mutes the video files and begins to speak.
  20.  
  21.  
  22. (Wei Ho): The Jiran Island Cluster has, expectedly, experienced some of the most activity in recent times. Something about the region acts as a major meridian of Mana movement, which is why I believe that Godzilla and Gamera ended up there in particular. What's more pressing, however, is what my colleague Dr. Anna Maximoff recently found. I now hand the stand to Dr. Maximoff.
  23.  
  24.  
  25. The hologram of Dr. Ho disappears and is replaced by Anna Maximoff's. After she appears, the screen briefly fades to black before coming back with new images and files. Unlike her friend's presentation, the majority of the images and accompanying data sets are pulled from scans and environmental analysis. The prominent metaphysicist begins to speak.
  26.  
  27.  
  28. (Anna Maximoff): While the investigative focus has primarily been on the recent Warmonger attacks, I believe these are merely diversions to draw our attention away from a more pressing concern. If you'll draw your attention to the 2 data sets here, you'll see that there was a massive surge of transdimensional energies after Godzilla and Gamera reappeared in our reality. That was a few days ago. But this one, here? This one is estimated to have occurred on the same day.
  29.  
  30.  
  31. This revelation gets a few gasps and murmuring. However, the hall remains relatively silent.
  32.  
  33.  
  34. (Anna Maximoff): The only reason we didn't detect it earlier is because there's been some kind of field or jammer that blocked our scans. Whatever was blocking our eyes and ears disappeared yesterday night. This data hails from South America, at one of the G.U.D.'s outposts in the wasteland. We have a third Kaiju emerging from the space between spaces, and we can logically deduce that only 1 known culprit fits the evidence.
  35.  
  36.  
  37. An image of Irys pops up on the screen immediately after Dr. Maximoff makes her remark. As the crowd more loudly discusses this discovery among themselves, emergency alarms and lights go off through the G.U.D. headquarters. All the communicative holograms disappear, and the C.D.F. security staff start directing the representatives towards the lower level bunker rooms to wait out the disaster in relative safety. Once everyone else has taken the emergency elevators down, the security officers take the other elevators up to join the rest of the C.D.F. reserves attending to the situation topside.

  45. C.D.F. Soldiers, support Mimetics, and accompanying Bilusaludo forces have gathered around the surface exterior of the G.U.D.'s Antarctica headquarters. A veritable killzone has been set up to cover all angles; no part of the skyline or ground is free from the firing range of a maser, ULT laser, or railgun. One of the sniper nests receives a signal on their radar; a barrage of energy weapons fire is let loose in the direction of the radar ping, followed by bursts of railgun artillery.
  46.  
  47. All of a sudden, a massive dark shape crashes down a few clicks in front of the surface building, sending some artillery tanks flying in all directions away from the point of impact. A stray lightning bolt from the blizzard storm above illuminates the form of the new arrival: the Destroyer has arrived in a gigantic Aggregate form.

  54.  
  55. Within one of the medical rooms down below, the comatose body of the former Denouncer of the Chinese super-nation is on a bed. After a few rumbles from the battle topside visibly shake the area, she suddenly opens her eyes and takes in a deep breath.
