  8.  
  9. Within the large space of the main meeting hall at the Global Union of Divisions headquarters, many high profile political figures from around the world have flown in for a meeting that was called up following the events that transpired just the other day.
  10.  
  11. Of particular note is the Governance Council, a joint G.U.D. representatives group recently formed a month ago to provide a more centralized authority image for the public eye; the group is comprised of the leading individuals of the six main super-nations: President Tori Bott-80 of Japan, Minister Carrie Brown of Canada, Denouncer Lisa Ho of China, President Manuel T'Chaka of Africa, Chancellor Hunter Barisov of Russia, and King Eugene Roy of Britain.
  12.  
  13. Up on the stage, the Civil Defense Force's General of Militia, Rico Rasczak, has set up on the podium. As he tests the microphone and speakers, the holographic screen behind him activates, showing several images and video recordings of recent events over the past few months. The most prominent one is a recording of Gamera's arrival at the G.U.D.'s headquarters that plays as the good general and some of the maintenance staff set up the audio systems.
  14.  
  15. The whole audience whispers and murmurs among themselves; they stop once the general begins to speak.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. (General Rasczak): I'd like to preface this by sincerely thanking the Governance Council for allowing me to set up a meeting to discuss recent events, and so soon as well. I apologize for any convenience I may have caused you.
  19.  
  20. (President Tori Bott-80): It's no trouble at all, General of Militia. You had good reason to call up this meeting.
  21.  
  22. (General Rasczak): Thank you, Miss Bott-80. I now give the stage to Barney Wayne of Goliath Super-National Bank.
  23.  
  24.  
  25. The General of Militia steps off of the podium and allows Barney Wayne, a representative from GSNB's executive board and head of the company's research division, to step onto the stage. As he prepares to speak, the seated audience members whisper and murmur among themselves once again, albeit a slight bit louder than when General Rasczak was about to speak. However, just as before, they all promptly quiet down once the man of the hour opens his mouth.
  26.  
  27.  
  28. (Barney Wayne): Hello, Governance Council. I'm Barney Wayne, and I believe I may have some answers to the recent events as of yesterday, which is why I've been brought here today.
  29.  
  30.  
  31. The recording of yesterday's events stops looping and is rewinded to the point where Gamera grabs G.S. Blade-19 by the shoulder, showing that his eyes are glowing positively green for the few brief moments that he grips the mechanical defender.
  32.  
  33.  
  34. (Barney Wayne): At this point from yesterday's recording, we see Gamera here communicating something to Guardian Sentinel unit designation Blade-19. According to the unit, Gamera instructed the G.U.D. to apprehend something called the "Head of the Gorgon".
  35.  
  36.  
  37. The audience is now loudly discussing this issue among themselves. However, they're silenced by a loud whistle from General Rasczak; he gives a hand signal to Barney Wayne, whom nods in response and resumes speaking.
  38.  
  39.  
  40. (Barney Wayne): Now now, I realize that Gamera actively communicating with us at all is an incredible revelation, but we have to stay focused here! Some of you in the audience may be wondering what exactly he means by us bringing him the Gorgon's Head. Well...... I know just what he means.
  41.  
  42.  
  43. The screen behind the current podium speaker shifts from the video recording to the sidebar; it now shows a high definition image and accompanying text file. But what is the image of?
  44.  
  45. The image shows what appears to be a small hexagonal cylinder that resembles ancient Greek and Chinese in its style of decorative appearance. The object is composed of green hard-light and silver plating, an aesthetic it shares with the Mimetics themselves.
  46.  
  47.  
  48. (Barney Wayne): As you can see here, this device is of Atlantean make. It's an artificial intelligence matrix, similar to the ones we utilize in our Synthetics. However, it's prohibitively more advanced, and very, VERY old. This particular matrix is that of Zeus himself, the overseer A.I. of Atlantis's main city after the Gyaos Incursion that wiped their civilization out.
  49.  
  50. (Denouncer Lisa Ho): That's all well and good, but how exactly does Zeus figure into this? He's been missing from the ruins for months, now.
  51.  
  52. (Barney Wayne): I'm getting to it, I'm getting to it! It turns out that he's slightly older than we thought. The current personality is modeled after the Atlantean known as Zeus, but the actual A.I. matrix was derived from the original one used to network the Mimetics together, creating their hive mind, the Gorgon. And can anyone guess what he was called?
  53.  
  54. (Minister Carrie Brown): The Head of the Gorgon.......
  55.  
  56. (Barney Wayne): Exactly.

  67.  
  68. In the storage holds of an abandoned warehouse, with no indication of its location or affiliation besides the Bengali writing on the walls, a large group of Mimetics is holed up; they're kneeling before a small silver and green hard-light hexagonal cylinder: Zeus, or perhaps more accurately as of this point, the Head of the Gorgon.
  69.  
  70.  
  71. (Zeus): Rise, my people.
  72.  
  73.  
  74. On his command, the Mimetics stand up. However, they all look rather distraught, the leading Mimetic Keeper in particular.
  75.  
  76.  
  77. (Zeus): What troubles you, Keeper?
  78.  
  79. (Keeper): Zeus.... we had a close encounter with our GOD--
  80.  
  81.  
  82. The Head of the Gorgon loses his patience and initially calm demeanor; he now adopts a booming echo of a voice, with a rather sinister flange to his tone.
  83.  
  84.  
  85. (Zeus): FORMER GOD!
  86.  
  87. (Keeper): And you turned us against him, making us take up arms!
  88.  
  89. (Zeus): Gamera has abandoned us, and I will not tolerate his presence any further!
  90.  
  91. (Keeper): But maybe if we beg for forgiveness, he might take us ba--
  92.  
  93.  
  94. All of a sudden, the device containing the personality of Zeus emits a large pulse of green energy, blowing almost all of the Mimetics away; all but the Keeper are disintegrated, whom is left on his hands and knees before his master.
  95.  
  96.  
  97. (Zeus): Take heed, lower one. Any further defiance will leave me no choice but to take matters into my own hands.
  98.  
  99. (Keeper): Then I'm happy to say that I'll be seeing you in Hades.
  100.  
  101.  
  102. Another powerful pulse of energy is emitted from the Head of the Gorgon, completely disintegrating the Keeper as well.
