- Back in the holding cells area, Director Samuel Hayden and Ronan the Accuser have returned from their short tour of this particular station of the facility as a whole. The guards open up the cell doors for the Kree's surviving religious figurehead. Before the doors are sealed, the blue-skinned humanoid turns around to face his guide.
- (Ronan): I presume that I will be held here indefinitely until a consensus is reached with the Earth's governmental body?
- (Director Hayden): That is correct. I apologize for undercutting this truly revolutionary and momentous occasion by having to essentially keep you a prisoner on your own home planet, but I report directly to the Governance Council, and they are undecided as to your fate.
- (Ronan): Very well. Besides...... my people knew well enough that our time as a species had come to its end, and that we were ready to allow the cycle of life to continue.
- (Director Hayden): Before I leave, I have one more thing to say. Guards, please cut all sensors for Ronan's cell.
- (Cpl. Kichea Imani): But sir, I--
- (Director Hayden): NOW, Corporal.
- (Cpl. Kichea Imani): Of course, director.
- As the facility's director steps into Ronan's customized cell, the doors are sealed behind him. As well, all visual and audio feeds monitoring the room have been deactivated, meaning that the only way anyone has any idea of what's being said in the room is to look at the bodily movements of the two individuals from the outside.
- (Ronan): A private conversation, I assume?
- (Director Hayden): Very much so.
- (Ronan): Then what is the purpose of the privacy?
- (Director Hayden): I know you've cut a deal with the Mimetics and in turn their allies, the Order and the Storm Covenant.
- (Ronan): Do you intend on stopping this exchange, then?
- (Director Hayden): No. I have no love for the body I serve, as I find they merely restrict my creativity. So, I propose that you and I create a pact to serve the purposes of their interests, if only to further our own mutual goal.
- (Ronan): And what mutual goal might that be, Samuel Hayden?
- (Director Hayden): The advancement of Humanity to its final passage. We're gonna awaken Earth's Great Beast.

- The Gale Crater. A fascinating site on the Mars surface by itself once upon a time, the location now serves as a discreet location for a secret operation, unbeknownst to the rest of the unsuspecting personnel of the U.A.C.'s main colonization facility.
- A small but still sizable complex has been set up just outside the headlining crater itself; the outer perimeters are secured by a large assortment of Loyalist Mimetic forces. Additionally, four large Kree machines have been unearthed, cleaned off, and spread out in a perfect square around the complex.
- Soon enough, the egg-shaped devices' hieroglyphs begin to glow a bright red and form a square of red light. Although the underlying mechanics of this process is unknown, its purpose is as clear as day: a signal beacon.
- And what better timing than now for the target being signalled to to arrive.
- From the near-constant dust storms brewing in the upper atmosphere, a dark shadow is revealed in the clouds. The shape grows larger and more defined as it draws ever closer to the ground below. At first, only an undefined blob shows itself. However, as the shadow becomes clearer, features such as long tendrils can be made out that seem to be extending from a somewhat humanoid body.

- Within the Containment Section of O'Connor Station, specifically at Viewing Port 1, a passing intern accidentally bumps into one of her coworkers and drops a box of personal items she was carrying to a supervisor at Receiving & Departures. Of all the items dropped, she's the most worried about a cutesy doll rendition of a C.D.F. Marine.
- Relieved to see the supervisor's most treasured possession intact and undamaged, she quickly stuffs it back into the box, along with the other dropped items. As she gets back up, she looks through the view area.
- (Katrina Delacroix): What the.....
- What she sees is a rather strange sight indeed. All of the Kaiju in the Containment section have congregated together into a single group; all are facing the same direction, as if they sense something that no one else does.
- Soon enough, other employees begin to take notice of this; several others now stand alongside Katrina and watch this oddly specific behaviour of the animals. One of the employees present, security officer Lieutenant Neliswa Bhuku, calls up the Director's communications line to report this strange occurrence.
- (Lt. Bhuku): Director? This is security officer Bhuku, reporting a strange event in Containment.
- (Director Hayden): [COMMS] Yes, what is it?
- (Lt. Bhuku): The Kaiju seem to be synchronized in their behaviour, as if sensing something we don't know about. Advise?
- (Director Hayden): [COMMS] Maintain standard security operating procedures, and have surveillance queued in to me directly.
- (Lt. Bhuku): Understood, sir. Bhuku out.
