Shunya Sato fixes his tie, staring at the entrance to this old warehouse. He was called by a man named Goro Otaki who wanted to show him a robot he invented. Shunya works in the Prime Minister's cabinet, and how Otaki got his number is unknown. Regardless, he's still interested in the proposal.
Shunya knocks on the metal door, creating a loud noise as his fist hits it. The door slides open, but nobody is there, until he looks down at Goro Otaki, surprised by how short he is.
"You must be Mr. Sato!" Goro greets.
"Yes. Pleased to meet you Mr. Otaki." Shunya replies, shaking hands with Goro. "I must say, you're not as tall as I expected."
"I get that a lot."
"So, where is this robot of yours?"
"Come in, allow me to introduce you to Jet Jaguar."
Shunya enters the building, finding himself surrounded by old junk such as chains and cardboard boxes. Goro leads him to something covered by a large tarp, possibly the robot. Goro removes the entire tarp, revealing his robot, sending Shunya into a state of awe. Just as Goro was shorter than he imagined, Jet Jaguar is bigger than he imagined.
The robot has a pointed head, long arms with crane-like hands, antennas behind its shoulders, and a set of wheels for feet. It has red coloring on its body and yellow coloring around its arms. Judging from its black eyes, Jet Jaguar hasn't been activated yet.
"Isn't he a beauty?" Goro asks, seeming proud of his presentation.
"Very impressive, Mr. Otaki." Shunya answers.
"People will go wild over Jet Jaguar, especially the kids." Goro says.
"They probably will. But I can't guarantee Jet Jaguar will be a success."
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you build him?"
"Jet Jaguar's purpose is to help people during or after a kaiju attack. He'll gather survivors, shelter civilians in danger. He is a symbol for hope."
"I see. But and I don't mean to be too critical, judging from the design, people aren't going to take him seriously."
Goro clearly isn't taking Shunya's opinion kindly, but he's only being honest in explaining the public's likely reception. Goro hops onto Jet Jaguar, opening up a hatch, revealing what seems to be a cockpit.
"You control him from the inside? He's not a robot if that's the case, but rather a vessel." Shunya says.
"That is true. But Jet is more than just a vessel to me, I treat him like he's a human being." Goro explains.
"Okay. By the way, how do you come up with his name?" Shunya asks.
"Heed our warning!" yells the voices of two girls.
Shocked by the sudden voices, Shunya looks around the room, but there's nobody except for him and Goro, who is just as baffled.
"Mr. Otaki is there anybody else here?" he asks.
"No. I live and work alone." Goro replies.
"Up here!" the mysterious voices yell again.
Shunya looks toward the ceiling, speechless when he finds a moth floating above him, being ridden by two tiny women. One of them is wearing red and yellow clothing, the other is wearing blue clothing.
"What the fuck?" Shunya says in a dumbfounded voice.
"You must listen to us!" the women yell in unison. "A terrible catastrophe is coming!"
