Jan Jira Outpost, Monarch Organization, in a certain island nation.
"Dr. Serizawa, 7.2 seconds! This has already broken today's record!"
A researcher in a white lab coat stood before the detection device, exclaiming in surprise,
"The electromagnetic pulse signal released from that cocoon is getting stronger and stronger, and it's increasing exponentially..."
"If we let it continue, it's very likely that all electronic equipment within a few kilometers will be affected and malfunction when the next pulse signal appears."
"If the outer defense grid also malfunctions, we will lose our last means of restraining that cocoon."
Serizawa Ichiro looked solemnly out of the monitoring room at the giant cocoon, which was surrounded by layers of special power grids, and after much hesitation, he shook his head slightly.
"Wait a little longer. We must figure out why this MUTO cocoon, which has been dormant for 13 years, is undergoing such changes!"
"It should be responding to a summons." At this moment, a Caucasian woman with long black hair, around thirty years old, walked over quickly with a tablet.
She was Serizawa Ichiro's student and assistant, a very talented palaeontologist, Vivienne Graham.
"Teacher, I think the Female MUTO that was accidentally lost 13 years ago... has reappeared."
Immediately, Vivienne Graham handed the tablet to Serizawa Ichiro.
On it was news about the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant being attacked by an unknown giant monster.
Upon seeing this, Serizawa Ichiro's eyes flashed with a hint of recollection.
As early as 1999, the Monarch Organization discovered the skeleton of a Titan creature very similar to Godzilla in a mine in the Philippines.
And within the highly radioactive skeleton, they found an intact Female MUTO spore.
At the same time, based on the traces left at the scene, it was inferred that a MUTO that had hatched prematurely had escaped from the mine, which was the cocoon currently at the Jan Jira Outpost!
So, in the following years, Serizawa Ichiro sent people to search for the escaped MUTO while conducting experiments with the dormant spore.
And the name MUTO was also given at that time.
After dissection, and having roughly understood the structure of this Titan creature, considering its excessive radiation release, which was not conducive to supervision,
The high-level officials of the Monarch Organization generously handed it over to the U.S. military, intending to send it to the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository deep in the mountains of Nevada.
But not long after, Serizawa Ichiro and others received a notice that an accident had occurred while the U.S. military was transporting the "corpse" of the Female MUTO.
The Female MUTO, which had been dissected, unexpectedly revived and escaped into the sea amidst the chaos.
Its whereabouts have been unknown ever since!
Who would have thought?
Thirteen years later,
This Female MUTO would reappear before everyone in such a way.
"If the MUTO in this cocoon is responding to that Female MUTO, then from a zoological perspective, it is very likely a Male MUTO... and that signal is probably a mating call!"
Serizawa Ichiro frowned tightly, saying with some confusion,
"But there's one problem I still can't figure out. Logically, this Female MUTO should have appeared only after the male had matured."
"However, before it emitted its mating call, the Male MUTO in this cocoon showed no signs of 'waking up,' which proves it hadn't matured!"
"So... what kind of accident happened to stimulate the Female MUTO, causing it to 'wake up' prematurely?"
Just as Serizawa Ichiro was racking his brain for an answer,
Vivienne Graham, with an open mind, seemed to have realized something, and a look of sudden understanding appeared on her face.
"Teacher, I understand. It's very likely related to the disaster that occurred in San Francisco half a month ago."
"After the Kaiju was killed, the strong radiation and toxins released from its body reached the Female MUTO's dormant nest beneath the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant through ocean currents, causing it to awaken prematurely."
"Then, its next goal will surely be to find strong radioactive material to ensure the upcoming reproduction... In other words, its target will be San Francisco, which has already become a dead city!"
"Teacher, if these two MUTOs have the same characteristics, then it also means that the Female MUTO is very likely to generate an electric field effect within a certain range, and even release strong electromagnetic pulses, just like this cocoon."
If the Female MUTO could truly release electromagnetic pulses,
Then it would mean that all current human weapons and equipment containing electronic components would be rendered ineffective in front of it.
Whether it's tanks, missiles, or nuclear weapons...
Thinking of this, Vivienne Graham hesitated and asked,
"Should we immediately inform the Security Council and the Department of Defense of this important news?"
"No, now is not the best time!"
Serizawa Ichiro refused without thinking.
Then he walked to the window, looked at the cocoon in the distance that was constantly flashing a yellow pulse light, and said in a heavy tone,
"The previous Kaiju incident caused the Monarch Organization to be heavily questioned..."
"Now, we must use the MUTO incident to turn the tide and let the world know that besides the Kaiju that invaded Earth, there is another type of Titan on Earth."
Vivienne Graham was immediately shocked and paled, "But this will inevitably cause a large number of innocent civilian casualties, we..."
However,
Before she could finish speaking, Serizawa Ichiro grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her violently back and forth.
As if trying to make her realize something through this method.
"Do you understand or not? This time... it's probably the Monarch Organization's only chance to continue to survive."
"For the future of Earth, for the protection of those Titans... we must make the right sacrifices now!"
Vivienne Graham stared blankly at the man in front of her, who was both familiar and strange.
All along, Serizawa Ichiro had given her the impression of being both refined and wise.
But today, she finally saw the hidden madness in him.
She also knew that the "right sacrifice" he spoke of would mean the loss of thousands of vibrant lives!
But... is it really worth it to do so?
The answer is obvious!!!
...
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
"Officer, we just received news from the Department of Defense that another 'Kaiju' seems to have appeared, and it's currently moving rapidly towards San Francisco..."
Maria Hill projected a set of images, sent along with the news, taken by a near-Earth remote sensing satellite with a maximum resolution of 0.3 meters, onto the large screen.
"What's going on? The image quality is so poor?"
Nick Fury was not puzzled by the frequent appearance of monsters.
Instead, after glancing at the large screen, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face.
He pointed at his sole remaining eye and roared,
"Didn't I tell you not to show me any pictures or videos unless they are high-definition?!"
