Colossus By Design: Entry 0073 - A Pleasant Talk

[December 5, 2145]
[Antarctica]
[Global Unions of Divisions Headquarters]

[Meeting of world leaders]


(Minister Diana McAllister): So, Director Ifukube........ what is the status on Warmonger operations now?

(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): Well, Minister, things have been going quite smoothly over the past week of retaking the major population centers.

(Dr. Wei Ho): There have been..... complications.

(Denouncer Daiyu Chen): Of what sort?

(Dr. Wei Ho): Dr. Reed?

(Dr. Laura Reed): Of course. Recently, our Warmongers managed to get some glimpses at our newcomers from the asteroids.


[Hologram projector is brought up, along with several photos of the Delta and the newly coined 'Epsilon'; the latter is still without any clear pictures of its full body]
[World leaders stand up, stunned at what they see]


(Dr. Wei Ho): As you can see, we have no full-body scans of the Epsilon. However, due in part to the creature's own intervention, the Delta has shown his strange face.

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Now, our scans have shown that although relatively unique on the outside, the underlying genetic code is starkly similar to that of the Betas, and its appearance is in accordance to the Atlantean representation of the Fenghuang.

(Dr. Laura Reed): And this, coupled with the Betas and the Gamma appearing on the Atlantean representation of the Four Symbols of mythology points to all three being creations of the ancient civilization.

(King Eugene Roy): So, we know that those three have their origins lie with the Atlanteans, but what of the Alpha and this Epsilon now?

(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): Excellent question! Anna?

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Yes, sir.


[Photos of the Atlantean Four Symbols, restored using modern technology, as well as ancient Jiran Island stone tablets, are brought up on the holographic projector]


(Dr. Laura Reed): As you can see here, our restoration has revealed that the Alpha is a part of the Four Symbols, along with what we assume could possibly be the Epsilon, of which both are also present on the Jiran Island stone tablets.

(President Shinji Kazuma): So, we now know that the Betas, Gamma, and Delta are of Atlantean origin, and that the Alpha is an ancient evolved P.E.M.F. All that leaves is the Epsilon.


[Lone researcher rushes in and whispers into the ear of Dr. Ifukube]


(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): Yes... yes..... I see.

(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): What? What's going on, Director?

(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): It appears that we have yet another thing to worry about.

(King Eugene Roy): And that would be?

(Dr. Jiro Ifukube): I was informed that two of our Warmonger units caught site of the last creature on the Jiran Island stone tablets. The giant moth-like creature.

[Unknown Date]
[Unknown underground cavern]

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

Underneath the surface, Atlantean miners are hard at work as they continue to excavate inside of a large underground chamber.


(Miner 1): Well, this is quite the achievement, isn't it?

(Miner 2): Indeed. First that discovery of the chamber of the Divine Essence that jumped our technology forward many times over, then the discovery of the god-like entities the natives of those islands worshiped, and now this meteor that is just brimming with the energies of all three.

(Miner 1): Only great things could come of this.
