Godzilla 2155 Chapter 2
Ted was nervous, he didn't like it when he had to make a presentation to the Board. They all ways picked his work to peaces. This time it was unavoidable. If he ever wanted to gain access to unit 224 again, he would have to deal with them.
He knew this would be, as they use to say, a hard sell. The Board had grown less tolerant of radical theories in recent months. Ted wasn't sure if this was do to the two new board members, or the shift in the publics attitude toward historical research. None of that mattered now, though. The Board wanted to review his latest findings. Then they would make a final decision on whether to allow his work to continue.
"OK Mr. Parker", came a soft voice. Ted know the voice. Second Chairwoman Alexia Blade. She had always been a firm supporter of his.
"Lets get started", Blade continued. With that, Ted started.
"As the Board already knows, I have been researching the possible existence of a mutant species called Godzilla....."
"One moment Mr. Parker." Came an unfamiliar voice from the Board.
"Doesn't the us of the word species imply more that one?" The newest Beard member asked.
"Yes it does Mr. Miller. My latest research indicates that there may have been more than one of these creatures. Possibly several."
"Let us see your data links Mr. Parker." This voice was all to familiar to Ted. It belonged to Head Chairman Gilbert Magus. Ted knew he would be the hardest to convince, he always was. From the table in frond in him, Ted picked up a remote device. Tapping a button activated a three dimensional image projector on the ceiling. The image that appeared was a black and white picture of a city in runes and a large creature standing in it.
"This image is of Godzilla's first attack on Tokyo in 1954." Ted clicked a button and a second Black and white image appeared. "This one is from a year latter. The two creatures look the same, but I believe they are two different animals. The first Godzilla was killed with an experimental weapon called 'the Oxygen Destroyer'. Its inventor was also killed as a result of the weapon." Again, Ted clicked a button. This time he let several images pass before he stopped it again. "What you just saw were images of the creature over a fifty year span. As you can see Godzilla's appearance changed over time. The last few images were from the nineteen nineties and early two thousands. These show an extreme change in physical appearance. Either Godzilla continued to mutate over the five decades, or there were more than one."
"If..." Miller interrupted. "...there were more that one. Then how come, according to your own reports, did only ever appear at time."
"Actually, I now believe that there are accounts of others of his kind. First, there are two separate accounts of direct offspring." Ted hit a few buttons on the control, and a split image appeared. "The image on the left is of an hatchling of the nineteen seventies. The island natives that first found it called it Minya. The image on the right is form the nineteen nineties. This one was simply called Godzilla Junior by the Japanese government. Also," Ted paused as he clicked a button, "this creature is called Angilas." Ted waited for the image to change. "And this one is Titanosaurus. Finally, Gorosaurus. I did a digital analysis of these three creatures. I found that their bone and physiological structure come close to or almost match that of Godzilla." Ted was again interrupted. This time by a different Board member.
"How is it possible that these four very different looking creatures could be related?"
"I believe they were mutated in a different way, such as the toxic waist that was common back then. Or perhaps they were further mutations of the origional species."
A long silence fell, then Magus spoke. "Mr. Parker, there is another area that you need to clarify for the Board. Namely the number of data discs that supposedly are accounts of this creatures appearances."
"Well Head Chairman, let me start by saying that I do not believe that all 26 data discs are 'documentaries'. I believe that only 10 of these actual, or at least partial accounts. The rest are truly 'Fantasy'."
"What," came Alexia's soft voice, "Mr. Parker, would you like to collude with today?"
"While I do not believe that all of the 'movies', as they were called, are actual accounts. I do believe that many are based on actual events or beings. And that my research will show this."
"Thank you for your resonation today Mr. Parker. The Board will link you their final decision by tomorrow.
As he finished, Gilbert Magus stood and exited the room.
