She and Randy Hernandez visited the building it had destroyed previously, which turned out to be the Manhattan Neural Center, where the room of a patient named Sidney Walker who was being treated for insomnia by amplifying his brainwaves.

Afterward, Godzilla began to become agitated, and it was soon revealed to be "the world's hunkiest billionaire" Cameron Winter was behind both that, and the mysterious military vehicles that had been attacking Godzilla all along belonged to his company Solstice Technologies, and he had been using Godzilla to test his armaments.
