Araxas: Patres Revolutionis - Old version of Godzilla Chapter 2

Since I wasn't satisfied with Biollante's origin specifics, I went back and changed it in the actual fanfic. This is the OG version which I took out.

<Dr. Sakurai █., audio recordings, translated from Japanese>

(Log #1, 202█-█-██)

I and the rest of my new team are settling in.

The research facility is impressive. Hi-tech, various departments and resources at our disposal. Director Takashi spared no expense, it seems. I privately wonder if his clients contributed.

The facility itself is known to the public since it would be impossible to hide without arousing suspicion, but the island is remote enough and the locals unconcerned with asking questions.

(Log #2, 202█-█-██)

Contrary to the impression that science fiction has left on more… youthful minds, hybridisation is not a simple procedure, especially not with modern science. Most people have this unconscious image of the body as a single cell, when in truth it’s a multicellular collective of cells all working together. Any one steps out of tune with the rest, the result is cancer, destruction of the whole.

Biologically, hybridisation of a complex organism is almost impossible except when it’s two closely related geni being bred together, such as lions and tigers. At least, that was the case before Ghidorah, an extraterrestrial Titan unlike any form of life native to our planet, fused itself to homo sapien and produced functioning chimeras.

We won’t use Ghidorah’s or their children’s DNA as far as I’m concerned, but as Director Takashi pointed out, they are proof that melding man with monster might be possible.

(Log #4, 202█-█-██)

Director Takashi wants the hybrid form to be as large as a Titan so it can better survive in a world of Titans. However, a Titan-sized body would be far too much for a single human neurology to effectively control, barring exceptional cases such as Abraxas, who again, utilised a biological system derived from Ghidorah that’s unlike anything on Earth. Project Talos relied on using two pilots per mech to get around this, and even that process might not be perfect.

On the other hand, one of Ghidorah’s other offspring, the Many, combined masses of humans and animals to form Titan-sized biomasses that could attack, defend and heal on the Titans’ level effectively. Combine that with the knowledge of how numerous human beings are on the planet, and the planetary limit on size and resources, and I think it would be more prudent to develop a hybridisation which can combine multiple consciousnesses into a Titan-sized mass instead of a hybridisation which forces single specimens to grow to Titan sizes individually.

Dr. Watabe [DATA REDACTED] journal

Takashi Corp wants us to find ways to create more Monster X’s. Turn people into Titan hybrids. Said it was about making people better able to live among the Titans without getting quashed into paste whenever they turn up. Nice idea, but crazy.

Whatever. I’m not being paid to give my opinions.

A child who outlives their parents is called an orphan, a spouse who outlives their beloved is called a widow or widower. But a parent outliving their child had no word for it until very recently. Vilomah. In Sanskrit, it translates to “against the natural order.”

[Pause.]

I will not outlive my little girl, nor will my clients outlive theirs. No matter what we have to do to save them.

Daddy will save you, Mii.

Mankind’s perception of the world around us changed in 2014, when Gojira and the Mutos first emerged. Five years later, the Mass Awakening broadened that perception, as our greatest weapon yet did nothing to aid us, and the Titans reclaimed their dominions but did not destroy us. Another year later, humanity’s eyes were widened a little further. Abraxas, a fusion of man and monster. Dr. Vivienne Graham, eaten and crushed by King Ghidorah, was brought back from the dead with her mind, her very soul, intact in a new Titanic body. Strong, healing, immune to any disease as far as any man has seen for the last seven years. Physically, she is far more now than she was before.

Hiroto: We’re getting there slowly, my rose.

Mii: (Pause.) Papa, if this doesn’t work…

Hiroto: It will work. Trust me. With all that I can do, it’s not as if I can’t save my own daughter.

Mii: I know, Papa. And I’ll try, for you and Mama, I will. But if it doesn’t work, can you promise me that you will let me go to see Tibet?

Hiroto: Mii-

Mii: I want to make use of the time I still have. The mountains, the wind, the sun, the cold. Saying goodbye to Hideki before it’s too late. I’ve already lost enough time locked in here.

Hiroto: You won’t die. Not to this, not to anything. You will bury me when my time comes, not the other way around! (Long pause. Sighs.) Just trust that Papa knows best. You do trust me, don’t you, my rose?

Mii: (Pause.) Of course, Papa.

Hiroto: Keep taking your medication. Go talk with the others. You and Olivia get along well, and I’m aware Natsuki has been itching to game with you again.

Mii: (Pause.) That’s right, Papa. I’ll do that.

Hi, Dad.

I know we’ve talked about this before, but I would very much like to come home. They won’t discharge me without your say-so.

I know it’s been hard for you and Sarah, maybe in some ways more than it has been for me. But I’ve had a lot of time to think on it, and I don’t want to waste what time I have left wasting away in a lab. My bike needs finishing. I want to go to the park with you and Sarah like we used to when you had time off from [DATA REDACTED]. You remember the ice-cream we used to have?

I don’t want it to go to waste in here. Some of the others feel the same way as me, you know.

Subject: RE: Dad

You can come home when you’re better, Olivia. You will get better, and then you’ll have all the time you need to work on your bike, to go to the park with me and Sarah, and to see your friends on the outside and try for college again. I’m keeping constant tabs on how your treatment with Takashi is going, and I swear to you, I will make sure this works.

Lots of love,

Dad

It’s beautiful. This is the first time I’m seeing all this.

[Camera shifts to handheld head-and-shoulders high angle view on Mii.]

Nothing beats that feeling for me, of hiking to the summit of a mountain and seeing the whole world laid out like this. Next year, we’ll be trying for Tibet.

Hideki: Not just mountains either. The towns the rivers. The people, the food, the culture, the rivers, the animals.

[Hideki approaches and embraces Mii, Mii laughs with Hideki.]

Mii: I’ll aim for the heights, you’ll aim for the other good things.

I find myself thinking on my project’s external clients, specifically the subjects’ families and parents. █ years ago, they would have been just clients to me, but now, they are more than that. Fathers and mothers, all different except in one shared suffering.

Mr. ████████ struck me as a man who wants control, but I have no doubt that he loves his daughter, Olivia, with all his heart. Mrs. Matsuo is most certainly a businessman, but the kind who’d excel at being a politician. [DATA REDACTED] I would not wish to enrage even if I didn’t relate to his desire to see his scion cured. And then there are a couple whom I am less sure about, like Mr. ██████████, who seems less like he’s helping his daughter and more like he’s seeking to move on with that new family of his. But they are the minority.

I know for a fact that there are those in Monarch who know the pain of losing a child all too well. Co-director Mark Russell is among them. His first child died in San Francisco in 2014. I met him twice. Once during a business meeting, and the other time I personally approached him and a couple of the other co-directors for dinner under the guise of a prospective collaboration with Monarch. The truth is, I wanted to get the measure of them up close. Probe and see if I could press for Monarch to quietly lend support for Project Biollante without revealing anything incriminating.

Co-director Russell and I talked over dinner. We agreed that mankind shouldn’t always lie down and accept people dying as some of the more fanatical and naïve – contemptible – Titanic sects would preach that we do. We spoke of how we’re both doing whatever we can for our respective daughters. Co-director Russell gave me his personal blessings that I might be able to save mine. However, when I asked Russell as shrewdly and respectfully as I could how he justifies his own daughter working alongside him in Monarch, given how many people have tended to die young in that organisation, he excused himself for a few minutes and sought a different subject upon returning.

[Sigh.]

I concluded that seeking Co-director Russell to approve Project Biollante would have been a wasted endeavour. Despite our common ground, I could not gauge how he can bring himself to keep his own child in a hazardous job with him after losing his other child to the Titans’ clashes. If he has his own justifications behind that, I could not decipher them. And besides, Co-director Russell is too wary of progress to dare to push ahead, as his many public statements, reports and academic papers have shown. Like Dr. Serizawa before him and the majority of Monarch, he errs too much on the side of caution to push all the way ahead for progressive change. Doesn’t have the nerve to push all the way through in this matter.

Suggestions to utilise DNA from Ghidorah or any of its progeny directly in the proposed transhuman Titan will continue to be dismissed. The last thing this project needs is an unstable, uncontrolled abomination like the Many or the Zmeyevich births. Ghidorah’s DNA is completely untameable and unpredictable, and I doubt that Abraxas’ or the Zmeyevich’s own related DNA would be better.

Strictly non-alien DNA will be utilised instead.

(Log #20, 202█-█-██)

Per Dr. Yamazaki’s suggestion and Director Takashi’s original idea on which the project is named, we’ll be attempting to splice floral and faunal DNA, with a special ingredient to tie them all together eventually. We could try to induce mass mitosis, or alternatively we could use the flora-assimilating properties of Amhuluk’s DNA to create a Titanic increase in size.

We already possess multiple megafloral and radiofloral samples from Behemoth’s Rainforest in the Sahara and some of the modified Skullcrawler DNA that Project Talos bred. We also still possess the preserved floral samples which were sampled from Skull Island, and from the Siren Isle before it sank beneath the waves during the Mass Awakening, courtesy of that Bio-Major mercenary expedition in 2015.

From: johnlow@██████.org

To: leemichael@██████.org

Date: 26-6-2015

Subject: Irene+Siren update, NEW ISLE, Incident notes

Good afternoon, Lee.

Irene and the mercenary team were brought back to the States by a second rescue chopper this morning, and I think you’ll be pleased with what they’ve brought back for us. We’ve procured multiple biological samples, ranging from red grass blades as long as my arm to an albino chitin, which I believe will yield some promising pharmaceutical gems for us.

THERE’S MORE. The samples came from not only the Siren Isle, but also the second island which Irene’s team were last reported marooned on in their first distress call █ days ago. I can now confirm based on the survivors’ testimonies, extensive satellite imaging and some snooping through our contact in Monarch that there is a SECOND MONSTER ISLAND located 40 miles northwest of Siren, which appears to be cloaked from satellite imaging by some kind of fixed storm cell.

From the survivors’ accounts, this second island is much larger, populated by an ENTIRE UNTAPPED ECOSYSTEM OF MONSTERS which are even more developed than the beasts on the first isle. We originally thought the Siren Isle was the 70s monster island that we’d heard so many rumours about, but I think this other island is actually the real deal.

Creatures described by the expedition survivors include: various enlarged and carnivorous insect species (got samples of an albino one), a carnivorous flower the height of two men (got some sap samples), a large, predatory bird with red feathers and, of all things, a gorilla that’s said to be as big as Godzilla (no samples) which matches the tell from the 70s. You may be wondering about the creature which the team’s first distress call reported as shipwrecking them on this second island, and which we can now confirm from their testimonies is also what downed our first rescue chopper days prior. Survivors describe the dead creature as a black, horned, winged dragon-like beast with a vaguely elephant-sounding roar, was both a flyer and a deep swimmer in the sea, and was highly aggressive; this description correlates with a monster in the leaked Monarch archives which Monarch encountered during the 50s. The creature was later witnessed being killed by the ape monster in a territorial clash which the survivors had engineered to get it out of the way of their extraction from the island. However, the creature’s remains are still scattered on the island’s southern shore, and based on its size it’s doubtful the tides will wash them away too soon, so if we can get a third chopper in to the island while the way is open, we might still be able to get some goodies from the creature’s remains.

THIS COULD EASILY BE OUR GOLDEN GOOSE.

Addendum: Financial reimbursement of Irene and her surviving team has been settled at $██████ to assure their discretion about this island and its contents. This of course excludes the medical bills for Irene’s daughter, who was indeed alive on the Siren Isle but slipped into a coma from injuries while on the other island. The crew of a civilian maritime vessel were also shipwrecked on the new island with Irene’s team: one of them, a young man of high school-college age, is currently hospitalised, having been poisoned by an unknown neurotoxic species on the island (samples of the toxin are being preserved and passed on for analysis), and has been reimbursed at the same amount as Irene and her teammates; the whereabouts of the other civilians whom did not leave the island are currently unknown. I recommend we maintain surveillance on the boy, Irene, █████ and ██████ for 12 months to ensure they comply.

Give my love to █████ and the kids.

Before I assimilated Bio-Major, back in 2014, there was this well-connected woman who hired out to them. She was a mother and a wife, who lost everything in 2005 when the yacht her husband and young daughter were on was lost at sea.

Then the whole world saw Godzilla and the Mutos rampage across the Pacific. She found old sailors’ and veterans’ tales of a monster island, cloaked from the outside world, in the same remote area where her family had disappeared. She and her friend turned to Bio-Major for help securing the team and resources they thought they would need to find such an island, and take on any threat they thought they would find there.

She found the monster island, or one of them. There was a much younger island which had emerged from the Hollow Earth beneath the sea in 199█, and it would much later sink beneath the waves again during the calamities sown in the Mass Awakening. The daughter was alive on that island, but she was feral, having grown without her late father or any human contact for 10 years. So this woman did what she had to do. She took the kid back home, whether she wanted it or not, and she made sure she was treated, that she could live.

I respect her. She did everything she could by her child. I believe Mr. ████████, [DATA REDACTED] would also understand.

The feral girl that was on the Siren Isle and Skull Island, the one that woman Irene worked with the original Bio-Major to find?

Bio-Major learned some time later that the girl had a creature companion that she was bonded with. It was how she survived alone for so long. The girl reportedly said that she herself was a monster, that it was what she was best at.

That stuck with me.

I did not mention this in a prior log as I thought little of it at the time, but we received samples of a previously-undiscovered Hollow Earth fungus a week ago, designated as Fungus-37. It was extracted from a subterranean layer that was exposed by the new vile vortex that Mechagodzilla bored in Hong Kong, close to the Realm Below.

Jr. Dr. Clemons’ research with Fungus-37 has provided astounding illumination. The fungus is carnivorous, but perfectly imitates complex biological functions as it devours them, even assimilating and maintaining the original chemical compositions. It’s also conductive to electrical signals. With some further testing, and perhaps some genetic modification as needed, this fungus could very well be used to imitate human brain tissue, which could be invaluable to Project Biollante.

(Log #69, 202█-█-██)

Jr. Dr. Clemons proposed that further studying the inner-workings of Zmeyevich DNA could provide ideal knowledge for what second-hand genetic modifications to make to Fungus-37. Despite our firm precautions against direct use of Ghidorah-derived DNA, I’m well-aware that the Sons and Daughters of Zmei have a distinct ability to regenerate their own damaged brain tissue and its functions, and a possible ability to transfer their own consciousnesses between their own biomasses, based on the records of Mechagodzilla.

I will request that all available records of Zmeyevich’s biological structure on various levels be brought in. Even if we do not directly use Zmeyevich DNA in Project Biollante, it will provide a helpful blueprint for which directions to modify Fungus-37 in so that it may conduct human consciousness.

(Log #99, 2025-██-██)

It’s arrived.

Synthetic Zohar, known colloquially as Synthzen. I’m told it was difficult to procure. Unsurprising, since Monarch and international agencies have clamped down twice as ruthlessly on the formula as they have on Titan DNA trafficking. They know just how powerful and valuable that energy source could be in the wrong hands. Some call it the Blood of the World. I’ve heard some Norse-influenced Titanics call it the Beating Heart of Ymir.

Its properties are fascinating and unpredictable. Time and study will tell if it’s the keystone necessary to bind human and Titan donors’ DNA together effectively, but Director Takashi is insistent that we be quick. His daughter doesn’t have that much time.

(Log #114, 2026-█-█)

The surviving Compound 8.8 animal test subjects have passed the intelligence, personality, motor and radiation-resistance tests with flying colours since awakening.

█████ dared to take Subject 18, nicknamed in-house as Mamoru, out of her cage and hold her as some of the team did before she was subjected to the serum. Note that █████ was fond of Subject 18 before her comatose metamorphosis. It was bizarre, seeing [DATA REDACTED] slithering over █████ but not once daring to squeeze her, as I suspect they can do.

I am certain that we now have the correct formulaic compound of fungi and viruses as a delivery system together with various Titans’ genomes in order to instigate a safe and successful biological apotheosis from human to Titan, at least for females.

The fact that only young female primates below a certain age can undergo the transformation still troubles me, and I imagine it will trouble those of Director Takashi’s external clients whom have sent male subjects to us awaiting treatment. At least one such client I have heard is in the mob. But I suspect the director will insist on performing the treatment first on the females regardless.

<██████ Natsuki’s diary, translated to English>

The doctors say the major phase of the treatment will be ready soon. In a few months.

To know that me and the others here will be ready to go home feels…

After this, after I get better, I’m going to appreciate life much more. Live every month like it’s my last. Go to South America with Mayu like I always wanted. Get into the [DATA REDACTED] – my tennis skills are still up to scratch in here, with the on-site gym and [DATA REDACTED] competing. It’ll be a new beginning.

Hotaru is angry like always, and Amara is cynical like always, but Junko is just as eager as I am if not more. Talking about finishing her science course, doing cross-county and finding a girlfriend. I wonder. Could it work?

Mama, I had my doubts about this treatment at first, but now I thank you for convincing me to take this second chance.

(Profile excerpt)

“The Substitute” refers to a subsidiary to develop an advanced artificial intelligence which will directly assimilate into the subjects of Project Biollante during and after apotheosis; making tactical and combative decisions on the subjects’ behalf if necessary, to maximise Project Biollante’s chances of survival against potential Titanic or human threats. To ensure fluid assimilation into the florafaunal Project Biollante biomass, the A.I.’s hardware is constructed via organic components including Fungus-37 and [DATA REDACTED] which simulate fungal growths into an advanced brain-based structure with a near-identical cellular structure to primates.

The Substitute replies via the same method.]

Nagashima: If a Titan or adjacent entity, documented or undocumented, engages in a demand for dominance, what is your appropriate response?

Substitute: Keep Biollante’s transhuman components safe at all costs. All other priorities secondary.

Nagashima: I require a more precise answer. What strategy would be employed?

Substitute: Observe. Calculate the probability of physical hostility based on available information. If probability is higher than 40%, calculate an ongoing battle strategy based on available information.

Nagashima: What are you authorised to do if Project Biollante’s human components are in no fit state to defend themselves, or directly endanger themselves?

Substitute: Engage control of Biollante’s motor functions to mount a physical defence. Human components will be rendered unconscious for their psychological wellbeing until the immediate threat is nullified or rendered more manageable, and consciousness will then be returned in full.

Nagashima: If a Titan or adjacent entity, documented or undocumented, engages in a nonviolent dispute, what is your appropriate response?

A reminder to all staff, please take extra care with the subjects during medical examinations.

05:01:00 am: Dr. Sakurai and scientific team and technicians are making preparations; examining tools and materials that have been wheeled into the chamber, examining various computers and wall-mounted monitors screens, also examining and adjusting the circular apparatus in the chamber’s centre: which consists of 10 diagonally-aligned hospital gurney-like metal tables with restraining straps, and multiple feeding tubes and sensor cables linking through a cubical metallic frame above the gurneys and into the [DATA REDACTED]-foot-high ceiling and into an empty cylindrical core.

05:06:04 am: A sealed, mobile glass tank with internal feeding tubes connecting into external tank sockets, containing a dual-spherical, 3-metre-tall and -wide fungal growth (identified as the Substitute organic CPU) inside and linked into the feeding tubes, is wheeled into the chamber by 3 personnel. The scientific team and manual labour lift the tank into position in the metallic frame above the gurneys over the following 4 minutes.

05:10:15 am: Dr. Yamazaki ████ communicates with the Substitute via laptop to confirm it is active and ready.

05:12:42 am: The designated final subjects, numbering 15 conscious women and 5 comatose women on gurneys, all between the ages of 14 and 25 – [DATA REDACTED] – enter the chamber, escorted or directly wheeled by scientists and security personnel; Director Takashi is personally accompanying Mii Takashi’s gurney, leaning over her. The 15 conscious subjects look around the chamber, some take note of the central apparatus and the Substitute. Subject Olivia ████████ asks, “What is that?” Subject Matsuo Junko asks if “that’s what’s going to make us better,” Subject [DATA REDACTED] complains of desire to be treated and go home. [DATA REDACTED] squeezes Subject ██████ Natsuki’s shoulder.

05:13:15 am: Subjects and all present Takashi Corp personnel form adjacent assembly formations. Director Takashi and Dr. Sakurai address the subjects: stating that they will be subject to an experimental but tested treatment to reverse their terminal illnesses and the 2 unconscious subjects’ comas, stating without details that the Substitute above the apparatus is a part of the treatment. Subject Olivia asks if there will be any pain during the procedure, Dr. Sakurai replies that there might be temporary pain without further elaboration; Director Takashi emphasises that it is necessary to saving the subjects’ lives.

05:1█:██ am: Conscious subjects are directed to lie inside the central apparatus gurneys, comatose subjects are disconnected from their mobile gurneys and lifted into the central apparatus by staff. Staff apply restraints, ceiling-connected sensors and manual feeding tube drips into to the subjects’ bodies; some tubes connect upwards into the ceiling, others (2 per subject) connect to the Substitute’s tank. Subject Amara ███████ comments that it’s “like something out of Star Wars.”

05:20:45 am: All staff clear the final testing chamber.

05:21:00 am: Central apparatus gurneys lift off the floor and rotate via automated mechanisms, holding subjects in belly-down positions above the floor with their backs exposed to the automated apparatus above.

05:21:11 am: Multi-syringe-mounted mechanical prostheses unfold from above the central apparatus, applying injections of the Compound 8.9 materials to all subjects in multiple areas of the body including three areas of the spinal column, in unison; subjects writhe against the restraints. Biological materials, including but not limited to bright-glowing Synthetic Zohar, flow through tubes into the apparatus; the Substitute fungal hard drive appears to convulse like a beating heart and shrink as material is fed into the subjects.

05:21:25 am: Subjects cease convulsing.

<Dr. Yamazaki █., medical report 8.9-14 excerpt, 2026-█-██>

Amhuluk’s gene transfer has enabled the entity to manifest the same ability to assimilate living and dead plant matter through cellular assimilation and an extreme horizontal gene transfer. Biollante has also absorbed and digested meat sources and radioactive materials on contact to further fuel its growth, a diet manifested from the multiple Titanic gene transfers.

Biollante continues to grow with a steady supply of nutritional feeds administered to fuel the ongoing hybridised cell growth. As of this report, Biollante measures 33 feet in height and 20 feet in length, and is still growing.

Biollante has entered a comatose state [DATA REDACTED] while its formation is ongoing. Internal scans have confirmed the remnants of subjects’ brains remain intact, having been fully assimilated and replicated down to the most intrinsic functions and brain patterns by the Fungus-37 based biomass, with electrical brain activity ongoing in an REM state. We will not know for certain if the subjects’ consciousnesses and personalities have been successfully preserved and transferred until Biollante awakens at the completion of metamorphosis, although results from the primate test subjects are hopeful.

[Long pause before Takashi begins speaking; voice is trembling at some points, emotional at others.]

Goodbye, my sweet Hana.

If I had paid more attention to your health and not just the children’s, we could have prevented your tumour. Or at least tried to save you with the project. I tried, but… We were too far away from you when it struck, got to you too late for the compound to save you.

It’s too late. You’re gone now. All I have left now is our daughter.

[Sharp exhale.]

I tried to tell Mii earlier today. That you were gone. The doctors say she might be able to hear me in there, like a coma patient. Now, I regret it. If she did hear me, what comfort could I provide her?

(Entry dated █-██-2027)

UPDATE: SYNTHZEN + “PROJECT BIOLLANTE.”

There’s a pattern between that tip-off about a Synthzen shipment and Takashi Corp shipments and manifests. Up to their old Bio-Major tricks?

Hiroto Takashi's daughter has been ill for years. Could he be trying something insane to save her? I know grief and fear can make people do absolutely insane things.

I’ve narrowed down the listed Takashi Corp facilities which that Synthzen shipment could have gone to down to 10.

This isn’t enough to get Takashi Corp locked down and investigated by Monarch yet, and I doubt they’ll let us traipse around and see their dirty laundry if we ask politely to take a look around. I’ll turn to rats again to gather more intel. I’ll be reaching out to and paying only rats whom are shady enough to not be missed, but reliable enough that they won’t go against a direct order to avoid deadly force. I’ve already got a few in mind.

Thanks for that life advice, Ms. Simmons.
