[Only in-tact body of unknown non-standard P.E.M.F. in containment]


(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): Dr. Maximoff? Is Dr. Maximoff here?

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Yes, mister President?

(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): Ah, good, you're here. So, this was the only recovered body of those three creatures in Archangel?

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Indeed. Very curious, this one. It does not display patterns like ordinary P.E.M.F.s.

(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): Like the Alpha.

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Yes, but there's more. The genetic make-up suggests a female sex.

(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): So?

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): There's more. The results showed that this being has no capability of being male whatsoever. Almost as if specifically made that way.

(Chancellor Dmitri Kalashnikov): Made? You mean that these creatures were manufactured?

(Dr. Anna Maximoff): Not exactly. Results also showed that the creature was capable of asexual reproduction, but that requires vast quantities of non-standard energy. There's only two significant sources of that energy readily available....


[Chancellor Kalshnikov walks to the railing on the platform as he looks at the giant corpse]


(Chancellor Kalashnikov): P.E.M.F.s.... and humans.

(Dr. Maximoff): Yes. The creatures display the ability to grow larger and more advanced as they consume more humans or P.E.M.F.s. With how many of both there are on Earth, there's no foreseeable limit to how much each can evolve.

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): This is troubling..... and you say that they seem like they were made?

(Dr. Maximoff): I did, but no one in the world has access to that level of technology.

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): And the other unknown entity?

(Dr. Maximoff): We didn't get any footage of it from our scout cameras, but there were reports of it from off the Chinese coast. Apparently, it was a rapidly spinning object that appeared to be ejecting high heat emissions from its extremities.

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): My daughter fought these things in Archangel. She told me that that other flying entity destroyed the other two creatures, using some sort of projectile that completely vaporized them. What could do that kind of damage?

(Dr. Maximoff): Well, I would speculate that, if your daughter's reports of the projectiles are accurate--

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): They are.

(Dr. Maximoff): Right.... well, judging from them, it appears the two creatures were destroyed by a combination of extremely dense plasma and pure non-standard energy.

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): It didn't go after my daughter. Should we be worried about it?

(Dr. Maximoff): Judging from reports, the other entity appears to have only been motivated in eliminating the flying non-standard creatures. Though, I do advise we at least maintain visuals of the skies and the waters as a precaution.

(Chancellor Kalashnikov): Very well. Continue your research of the body.

[October 16, 2145]
[Hong Kong, Chinese origin continent]

[Small road with a high school in the distance]
[Two teenagers are walking together to school]


(Teenager 1): So, you ready for the test today?


[The other teenager yawns]


(Teenager 2): Yeah...... stayed up all night studying. Why did you talk me into taking Mythology class, anyways?

(Teenager 1): Well, it's interesting, of course! Plus, as my best friend, you're automatically supposed to take the same classes as me!

(Teenager 2): That's a load of bullshit.

(Teenager 1): Yep. Though, you gotta admit that some of the local folklore was pretty interesting!

(Teenager 2): I guess.... I got a strange note from the professor, though.

(Teenager 1): Really? What was on it?


[Other teenager takes out her note from the professor, showing it to her friend]


(Teenager 2): It was tucked on the page about Fenghuang. You know, the Phoenix, said to be all about good and whatnot?

(Teenager 1): Come on, tell me! What was on that note?

(Teenager 2): He said that was a lie.

(Teenager 1): Really? Why do you think that?

(Teenager 2): I don't know. Look, can we just hurry up and get to school?

(Teenager 1): Fine. I hope you did your homework on Atlantis.


[Other teenager stops in her tracks, and puts her palm to her forehead]


(Teenager 2): DAMMIT! I forgot!

(Teenager 1): Don't worry. I still have my notes here.

(Teenager 2): Can you just tell me the important stuff?

(Teenager 1): UGH, fine. All you need to know is that Atlantis was really an off-shoot of the Chinese continent, and that it was an extremely advanced society that was known for creating marvelous things, including completely new life, and that it mysteriously disappeared a few thousand years ago.
