The following are radio transmissions in and around Shinjuku Japan in the year 20XX, years after first contact with digital life.

…

"Bombs have been dropped. Shit. There isn't much left to save."

"Airborne units be advised: bombing run did not work. Say again, the targets are still alive. Recommend immediate abort."

"Did D.T. squad get in?"

"Affirmative. It's up to them now."

…

"All units, be advised. The hive has been shook and the wasps are coming out in mass."

"What the hell are those things?"

"Oh shit! One's got my plane."

"Eject! Eject!"

"This is pilot one seven. I have safely ejected. Shit. That thing's eating my plane."

…

"We've lost contact with all teams in and near the target zone. The enemy is jamming our signal. Watch your tactical maps. They aren't jamming satellite. Just radio."

"I just got a partial. D.T. squad is pulling out. Said they were ambushed. They have wounded."

"God help us."

…

"Fuck, is that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building? That shit's gone. They're never getting it up and running again."

"I hear the director was inside when this happened. That dude's toast for sure."

"Look around. Does any of this look like it can be saved? We backed the wrong god damned horse."

"This whole mission's fubar. Betting on one set of fucking monsters to kill another set of fucking monsters. It's like a bad Godzilla movie."

…

"This is D.T. squad beta team leader Akiyama. Our C.O is dead and alpha team leader is out of commission. Half my squad is wounded and we are getting hit by the enemy hard. Our transport is down five miles south of Shinjuku. Night is approaching and we need immediate evac. God damnit! Somebody respond!"

…

"This is D.T. squad omega team leader. I am severely wounded and need immediate evacuation. Anyone who can hear this respond. Wait. Shadow, do you read me?"

"Sir? Jesus, he's alive! Yes we read you."

"I need evacuation. Can you send a plane?"

"Negative. The whole goddamned world is engaged. We have nothing to spare right now."

"I am going to die out here if you don't send me something."

"….Copy, sir. I'm sorry, but I have nothing to send you."

…

"All units, pull back. We are abandoning Shinjuku. Repeat, we are abandoning Shinjuku! Pull back before we lose the rest of Tokyo."

…...

"This is omega team leader on approach to D.T. squad's location. Keep the tea hot for us, fellas. We aren't done yet. Shinjuku needs us."
