[Canadian Reserves Military Base of Operations]

[Latest experimental tech is carried to R&D building]
[Warmonger Subject Testing Area]


(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): Alright, all initiates, stand up.

(Soldiers): Yessir!


[All soldiers stand up; amongst them is Thomas Scott]


(Dr. Ifukube): As you all may or may not know, I have returned from the dead. For those of you who know who I am, good on you. For the others, I'll give you a quick history lesson. My name is Jiro Ifukube, founder and director of the Project Warmonger. I'm here to test you all and find out who will be best suited to be the driving mind behind Canada's representative Warmonger.

(General Roger Martin): Alright, doctor, they're all yours.

(Dr. Ifukube): Thank you, general.


[General Roger Martin of the Canadian Reserves leaves the area]


(Dr. Ifukube): Now, this is a simple procedure. My assistant Synthetic here will seat you within the scanning device, and your very essence will be analyzed and diagnosed to see if your body and mind will be suitable for transferal to the Warmonger. My assistant will notify whether or not one of you is positive or negative. We begin now. M-0-RTY, if you please.

(M-0-RTY): Of course, sir.


[M-0-RTY powers up the scanner as the soldiers watch on]


(M-0-RTY): First.


[First soldier straps in and is scanned; he gets a negative beep from the machine, then gets off and walks out]


(M-0-RTY): Next.


[Soldiers continue getting scanned, still with no positives a few dozen later]


(Gregory Bradford): Hey... Pssh! Tom!

(Thomas Scott): Huh? What, Greg?

(Gregory Bradford): It's your 21st birthday today, right?

(Thomas Scott): Yeah.

(Gregory Bradford): Wouldn't it be an awesome present if you were chosen?

(Thomas Scott): Yeah, it would. I just really wanna fight some monsters!

(M-0-RTY): Next.

(Thomas Scott): That's my cue! Wish me luck!


[Thomas Scott straps into the machine, and the machine begins scanning]
[Quakes begin to rumble through the area, shaking apart the building and causing the walls to crack]
[Soldiers begin looking around, confused as to what's going on]


(Thomas Scott): What's going on? An earthquake?

(Dr. Ifukube): M-0-RTY, is it........

(M-0-RTY): I believe so, sir.

(Thomas Scott): Doctor, what's going on?

(Dr. Ifukube): There's another one here.

(Thomas Scott): Another P.E.M.F.?!? Sorry doc, but me and the others gotta go!

(Dr. Ifukube): Go. You and your fellow soldiers will need to buy us time until we can evacuate my staff.


[Thomas Scott and the other soldiers rush off outside]
[Positive beep sound goes off after Thomas leaves]


(M-0-RTY): Sir.....

(Dr. Ifukube): Hmmm.......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Outdoors of main base, quakes continue to occur; soldiers rush about, getting geared up and moving out on foot and in various vehicles]
[Main building, rooftop]
[Thomas Scott, Gregory Bradford, and other soldiers take up positions on top of the main building]


(Thomas Scott): Alright, get ready! It's coming!


[Ground by the building cracks and emits intense light as an intensely loud roar echoes from it throughout the base]
