  1. (Ronan): *narration* I have stuck with you this far, Hayden, but I must admit that I'm starting to have my doubts about all of this.
  2.  
  3. (Samuel Hayden): *narration* I don't blame you. Enacting multiple war theatres simultaneously weighs heavily on one's conscience, but it's for the betterment of Humanity at large.
  4.  
  5. (Ronan): *narration* Perhaps...... perhaps. But what if things go awry? What if the gates aren't opened like predicted?
  6.  
  7. (Samuel Hayden): *narration* Then we reevaluate the situation and improvise. That's what the thinking Human does, no matter the origin. Earth, Mars, or anywhere else in this vast universe. But for the thinking Human to truly excel, the reactionary crowds must suffer the consequences.

  22. Inside of Jiro Ifukube's secret vault, the man himself, his colleagues, and the holographic avatars of the ex-Warmongers are gathered around the projection table. From it, several theoretical models are displayed; all pertain to one thing: a working baseline for the new body for the guiding minds of Humanity's former mechanical defenders to inhabit simultaneously.
  23.  
  24. Some of the projections are from archived files that the former Project Warmonger came up with on his own for the development of Evangelion Unit-01. Others, however, are much more recent, having been drawn up after the three scientists visited Jacob Hargrove in Berlin.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. (Feng Lee): So, what did you guys brew up after visiting Hargrove?
  28.  
  29. (Jiro Ifukube): A whole assortment of things we could apply to our goals. For one thing, STRQ Industries is willing to provide the bulk of resources directly for the development of this project.
  30.  
  31. (Karen Marais): Really? Well, that oughta be handy. What about our simulators? The ones we have aren't too good for properly testing out combining our four minds into one cohesive unit.
  32.  
  33. (Wei Ho): We're still working on that one. Anna, what do you think of some of the changes to the physical models?
  34.  
  35. (Anna Maximoff): It's certainly interesting.
  36.  
  37.  
  38. The Russian metaphysicist pulls up two diagrams side-by-side for a comparison; the first shows the original design for Unit-01, with a body composition much like the Androids that STRQ Industries created. The other one looks almost identical in terms of shape and form, but this one looks much more like an actual Human body composed of true flesh.
  39.  
  40.  
  41. (Anna Maximoff): The success of Project Warmonger left me with rose-tinted glasses towards the idea of a robotic body for you guiding minds, so I thought that the idea of an upscaled Android made sense at the time Jiro showed us this. But after meeting with Hargrove and Ms. Kano, I'm beginning to think we had the wrong idea.
  42.  
  43. (Sasha Kalashnikov): So....... we'll sorta get our old bodies back in a way?
  44.  
  45. (Anna Maximoff): Precisely. Satoshi, what do you think? Satoshi?
  46.  
  47.  
  48. The descendant of the legendary Dr. Kyohei Yamane merely looks at the holo-screen on one of the walls. At first, everyone else is focused on trying to get the Satoshi's attention and don't pay any mind to what's on the TV at the moment.
  49.  
  50. However, after he points towards the screen, everyone else turns to see what's so interesting as to draw Satoshi Yamane's attention away from their little group meeting; what's on the screen is most definitely important enough for all eyes to be on it right now: a live camera feed from the fleet around Luna tuning in to a mass of objects approaching from the direction of Mars.

  61. Beyond the range of space that the fleet of mining ships and Guardian Sentinels inhabits around Luna, several large shapes emerge from invisible anomalies, "blinking" in, so to speak. They're quite unique and alien in appearance, having a texture of stone and a general shape like a pinecone. At first, only the ships show themselves.
  62.  
  63. However, it's soon revealed that large mechanical humanoids, as large as the Guardian Sentinels themselves, are clinging to this fleet.

  75. Within the heart of Cape Town, sewer grates are suddenly flung into the air by high-pressure streams of water. What's most intriguing about these streams, though, isn't the fact that they were able to send the sewer grates so high into the air. No, what's interesting about them is the fact that they snake their way back into the underground from which they came, like tentacles being retracted towards the main body of a cephalopod.
  76.  
  77. After this little event, the local C.D.F. forces are alerted and arrive on the scene. They send drones down into the openings to scout the underground sewers out, but the sounds of MASER fire bellow from below; they're soon followed by the telltale sound of the drone exploding.

  90. On the paradise location of Roth-Ma Island, its three largest inhabitants; Godzilla, his daughter Gojira, and Mothra; look directly up at the sky. None of them let loose even a small growl, for they know all too well about what events will soon transpire. Out in the deep waters around the island, a giant turtle shell surfaces; Gamera lifts his head out of the water and looks up in the same direction as his monster allies.
  91.  
  92. Another war is coming.
