  1. [March 24, 2166]
  2. ["The Ocean Crawler" - STRQ Industries Mobile Oceanic Rig]
  3. [Arctic Ocean]
  4.  
  5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  6.  
  7. In the frigid cold waters of the Arctic, a polar bear and her two cubs watch from an ice sheet as a strange metal contraption made by the Humans enters their humble abode, scaring off the local pinniped population. The ursine mother decides to take her cubs back to the mainland, clearly not in the mood to try her hand at hunting with the giant metal object shooing away any possible food.
  8.  
  9. However, in the wake of the disappearing seals and walruses are pods of beluga whales numbering in the hundreds. Such a massive migration would seem unnatural, were it not for the company in their presence.
  10.  
  11. Gojira, the princess of the monsters, slowly swims through the freezing water; only her dorsal plates and tail are visible above the water. As the great beast comes to float next to the large mobile rig, it becomes clear that she's not alone; a small private jet makes a landing on the airstrip of the Ocean Crawler; several security guards and surveillance drones come to meet its occupants.
  12.  
  13. Dr. Wei Ho steps out of the jet and is accompanied by several of his colleagues and research assistants, including Dr. Anna Maximoff herself.
  14.  
  15.  
  16. (Sgt. Vic Stone): Dr. Ho, Mr. Hargrove has been expecting you.
  17.  
  18. (Dr. Ho): I'll bet he has, Victor. Thawne, good to see you again.
  19.  
  20. (Prof. Eobard Thawne): Likewise, sir. I'm just glad that you don't call me--
  21.  
  22. (Dr. Maximoff): ZOOM! Nice to see you!
  23.  
  24. (Prof. Eobard Thawne): ....That. Well, Mr. Hargrove is gonna wanna know what you found out.
  25.  
  26. (Dr. Ho): I thought it'd be better if Anna tells him herself.
  27.  
  28.  
  29. As the group is escorted onto the deck's elevator into the lower levels, Gojira pokes her head above the water and looks across the airstrip of the Ocean Crawler. This sudden appearance startles the deck's crew quite a bit, although they quickly regain their composure after she dives back down into the water; the beluga whales dive in behind her for reasons unknown.

  33. [Executive Laboratory]
  34. [Sublevel 9]
  35. ["The Ocean Crawler" - STRQ Industries Mobile Oceanic Rig]
  36.  
  37. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  38.  
  39. Dr. Ho and his guests are led into the executive laboratory of the Ocean Crawler on Sublevel 9; there to greet them is the head doctor's research team, as well as Jacob Hargrove himself on the main monitor screen. After he comes online, the rest of the room comes to life as all of the lights turn on to reveal the tanks that were previously being used to conduct the Android-based experiments.
  40.  
  41.  
  42. (Jacob Hargrove): Ah, Dr. Ho, you've returned, and with guests. Some a bit larger than others at that, too.
  43.  
  44. (Wei Ho): I thought that you should hear it from Anna herself on what she's proposing. As for little Jira, well....... She just sorta followed us here, like a puppy.
  45.  
  46. (Jacob Hargrove): *chuckles* I can see that. Anyways, it's nice to finally meet you, Dr. Maximoff.
  47.  
  48. (Anna Maximoff): Likewise, Mr. Hargrove.
  49.  
  50. (Jacob Hargrove: Now, why don't we get down to business? Something about fixing our Android problem?
  51.  
  52. (Anna Maximoff): Of course.
  53.  
  54.  
  55. Dr. Anna Maximoff takes out her datapad and inputs a few commands; several holographic files pop up in front of Jacob Hargrove's personal display screen, allowing him to analyze them in full detail. Several minutes pass as he looks over the information; the others patiently await his thoughts on the data. After thoroughly looking through the files, the holograms disappear.
  56.  
  57.  
  58. (Jacob Hargrove): Very interesting, very interesting indeed. I had my suspicions, but it seems even I was off base.
  59.  
  60. (Anna Maximoff): Well, let me tell you, Mr. Hargrove, this didn't pop into my head instantaneously. It took quite a few months to figure out why Emmy Kano was different.
  61.  
  62. (Jacob Hargrove): I can assure you, Dr. Maximoff, that we will immediately put this research of yours towards experimentation. You will receive full credit for your part in this venture of mine.
  63.  
  64. (Anna Maximoff): I'm just happy to help.
  65.  
  66.  
  67. For a few moments, there's an awkward and quite noticeable silence that permeates throughout the moon. Finally, Professor Thawne breaks the silence by bringing up several holographic news clips from stations around the world reporting on the recent events in the city of Chennai. At first, Dr. Ho looks on nervously, but after seeing Jacob Hargrove in deep thought over the footage, he relaxes a bit.
  68.  
  69.  
  70. (Prof. Thawne): So, Mr. Hargrove, it seems you were right.
  71.  
  72. (Jacob Hargrove): Just a lucky guess.
  73.  
  74. (Prof. Thawne): On the contrary, sir! This was more accurate than any of us predicted! You nailed the details of what was gonna happen to the tee!
  75.  
  76. (Jacob Hargrove): Well, I can't take all the credit. When Jiro came to me with his proposition to fuse his essence with that of Gamera in the same vein as Dr. Reed, bless her soul, I was skeptical.
  77.  
  78. (Wei Ho): You were?
  79.  
  80. (Jacob Hargrove): Yes. But he pulled it off it seems, and seems to have gotten a better end than most. Strange that he never bothered to at least send a last message. It's quite curious to see the aftermath, though. To see just how far Gamera has come since the days that he would protect every single human life possible.

  91.  
  92. On the outskirts of Salvador, the local branch of Synthetic manufacturing plants for STRQ Industries resides. Inside of the lobby, a very surprised secretary looks up from his desk at the visitor that has come to them.
  93.  
  94.  
  95. (Adrian Affonso): Oh, I'm sorry, your visit wasn't foretold--
  96.  
  97. (Ned Landerz): Oh, I won't be here long. I'm just taking a tour of my new facility.
