Monster Hunters Evicted From Staten Island
New York Times

After months of pressure from the local fishing community and a trial at New York Supreme Court, the mutation investigation team known as H.E.A.T. has been evicted from their headquarters on Staten Island due to the disruptive effect on the local ecosystem caused by Godzilla. Erika Blaine of the National Marine Fisheries Service, who represented the collective fisheries of Manhattan in the hearing, had this to say about the matter.

"Since H.E.A.T.'s establishment around the waters of Manhattan we've monitored the fisheries situation closely in order to work a solution to this new ordeal. We've had sporadic communication with the team for weeks, and while they assuaged us that they were working to resolve the issue, the reports and complaints kept on piling up and we were forced to take action."

Dr. Nick Tatopoulos, leader of the H.E.A.T. team, has disclosed that their team is not too concerned about the eviction and will relocate to another pre-prepared base of operations located in the remote Aleutian Islands.

"We were well aware of the effect Godzilla would have on the city of New York early on, but before we established our secondary base up in the Aleutians our efforts were focused on rehabilitating Godzilla through processed feed. Unfortunately our results were not adequate."

In the two years since the creature's habitation of the waters around Manhattan, fishing stocks have depleted by an alarming 75%, and the multiple incidents of mutation incursions served only to aggravate the decline.

Dr. Elsie Chapman of H.E.A.T. says that said decline forced Godzilla to move to the Aleutian Islands for new feeding grounds.

"Godzilla, like many predators, is a territorial animal, and like all territorial animals he will remain until the environment becomes unsuitable to live in. His competition with the local fishing community culminated in an inadequate food supply. We suspect that the isolated nature of the islands is one of the major factors in this."

Despite this permanent change of residence, it has been proven time and again with multiple incidents that distance does not deter Godzilla's presence in an area. While it is certain that he will be seen again in Manhattan when another monster attacks, for now the city breathes a collective sigh of relief.

Nick Tatopoulos' Journal
April 23

Now that all of our equipment has been moved, H.E.A.T. is officially settled in our new HQ, and I have time to write in this journal.

The island has changed little since our previous venture. It's quite clear, however, that the Giant Turtle is no longer around. Thank God for that.

Godzilla's behavior towards us is markedly different from our original encounter with Komodithrax last year. Before, he exhibited a strong protective bond that resulted in a mildly aggressive demeanor. Now, he seems to be more accepting of our presence. Now that Godzilla lets us set foot on the island, we can study the two closely, as closely as they would allow at least.

But perhaps the most striking discovery since our return to this island is Komodithrax's infant, a female as well. Randy nicknamed her "Lizzy". I think his nicknaming skills have faltered. Lizzy is around four meters in length and weighs in at around 400 kilograms. She's nearly a year old and displays vigorous activity for a reptile. So far, she has taken a liking towards us, especially N.I.G.E.L.. Mendel is predictably despondent as N.I.G.E.L. has become little more than a chew toy for her.

Lizzy's presence on the island has also had a major effect on Godzilla's behavior. He's displaying actual parental instincts, teaching the infant to swim and hunt, and he even plays with her. Now I really know what it feels like to be a father watching his child grow up. I thought the phrase "They grow up so fast" was applicable when he had his growth spurt in Jamaica, but seeing him be a surrogate father in his own right finally does it right.

A/N: So yeah this is a thing that I'm making. Stay tuned for more additions.
