[Global Union of Divisions Headquarters]

[Dr. Jiro Ifukube, founder and director of Project Warmonger, reveals himself to the meeting of the leaders of the globe]


(Minister Diana McAllister): Wait, YOU'RE the famous Dr. Ifukube?

(Dr. Ifukube): That is correct, Minister. I am the original creator of the Warmonger line, and I know of this new threat that surfaced in the Jiran Island cluster.

(King Eugene Roy): And we're supposed to believe you're the original founder? If what you say is true, then you'd be over 140 years old. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't believe this man to be who he says he is.

(Dr. Ifukube): I do not blame you for your suspicions. I realize I must prove my identity, and have no qualms about doing so. First of all, when that first new P.E.M.F...... "Maw-Walker" was it? When it appeared, did you happen to notice the extremely quick response by Serizawa's Light?

(President Shinji Kazuma): I do remember not giving the order for his appearance. Wait..... if what you say is true, then that would be a direct violation of--

(President Nigel Mandela): Please, Kazuma, let him finish. Go on then, Jiro.

(President Kazuma): Very well. Continue.

(Dr. Ifukube): Thank you. As I was saying, as the original founder and director of Project Warmonger, I have ultimate say over all matters regarding any and all Warmongers in times of P.E.M.F. attacks, and I do believe this term to have not been changed since the end of the first war.

(President Kazuma): You're right...... Proceed.

(Dr. Ifukube): I also faintly remember having master access to any and all Warmonger resources, such as...


[Dr. Ifukube puts his hand against a scanner on the wall behind him, causing the middle of the room to open up, revealing a database of all known previous Warmongers and P.E.M.F.s, as well as personnel files on all associated members of Project Warmonger]


(Dr. Ifukube): .....Accessing my personal databases here in the headquarters of the Global Union of Divisions in Antarctica.

(King Eugene): What is the meaning of this??!

(Dr.Ifukube): As you can see, I'm just dusting off the old trophy room in my former abode. Here, let me bring up MY file.


[Dr. Ifukube sifts through files until he reaches his own]


(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): Wait, it says there that you died 20 years ago. Yes..... I remember now! The reports said that you died over two decades ago in a fire.

(Dr. Ifukube): Well, I needed an excuse to continue my research into the P.E.M.F.s and this new threat the Chinese encountered out in the Pacific. Isn't that right, Nigel?


[World leaders turn to President Nigel Mandela, whom stands up]


(President Mandela): Yes, it's true. We faked his death so that we could conduct research together regarding the creatures without any government suspicion.

(King Eugene): YOU?!?

(Minister McAllister): Please, calm yourself, Eugene. Dr. Ifukube, please continue.

(Dr. Ifukube): Thank you. Now that it has been made clear I didn't die 20 years ago, you're all probably wondering what I've been doing, and how I know of the assailant behind the incident at Jiran Island. Please, if you'll divert your attention to the holo-projector.


[Dr. Ifukube cycles through various files on the holo-projector in the centre of the room, until he finally comes upon various photos and old articles]
[All world leaders stand up, astonished at the new info]


(Denouncer Daiyu Chen): Those photos...... they look exactly like the creature Feng Lee described! Doctor, where did these come from?

(Dr. Ifukube): The old photos and articles are records of something the Japanese and former American governments discovered in the Jiran Island cluster in the 1940s, shortly following WWII. The first evidence of non-standard-evolutionary organisms.

(President Kazuma): I had no idea..... wait, what about the new photos? That's a time difference of nearly 200 years. Surely this is a different creature--

(Dr. Ifukube): No. The being you see in the set of photos from the 1940s and the more current ones are indeed one and the same. An ancient animal that evolved in a very different time, divergent from any known lines. Nigel and I surveyed some of the isles off the Pacific, and found it lurking in the depths. Do you remember the nuclear tests in the Pacific?


[World leaders look at each other, knowing full well about what Dr. Ifukube is talking about]


(Dr. Ifukube): Not a single one of them was a test. The Japanese and the Americans thought it dead after it didn't resurface following the last Pacific test. But as you can see..... It's back.


[Dr. Ifukube continues to watch the world leaders left in shock as they look at the photos of the gigantic reptilian beast with several dorsal plates along its back, from the 1940s-60s and now the modern day]
