History

Reiwa era

Godzilla Singular Point

"Terzetto"

In the year 2030, Mei Kamino was photographing a mural which spoke of the catastrophe, specifically how the moment when the ocean turned red, monsters would rise to destroy the earth. She was sent by her professor, a man by the name of Sasamoto, to consult the Tsuguno District Administration Bureau, otherwise known as the Misakioku Observatory, on an alarm which has recently started ringing for the first time. Chief of Staff Shunya Sato tells her that it is responding to a certain signal: a song playing on a loop. While going through the manuals and attempting to assist with the situation, she contacted Otaki Factory, who had installed a communication cable a while back. She spoke with Yun Arikawa over the phone, but after not reaching a conclusion to the situation, Mei was driven back to her apartment, and on her way there she began doing research on Otaki Factory. While there, she downloaded an AI by the name of Naratake. Once home, she finished downloading the artificial intelligence, and after attempting to uninstall it due to believing it to be a virus, it explained how it could be of use. After agreeing to let it stay, she named the software Pelops II, after a pet dog she used to have. The following day she returned to the Misakioku Observatory, and was given a ride home by Haberu Kato. As they discussed Yun's strange behavior, the conversation topic switched to her choice to study imaginary creatures.

"Gamesome"

Mei and Haberu witnessed the conclusion of the battle between a Rodan and the Otaki Factory mecha Jet Jaguar in Nigashio: the pterodactyl-like creature plummeting from the sky, dead. They arrived in the area of the attack a few moments later, while Mei was preoccupied with photographing the mysterious pterodactyl. The following day, Kamino was researching aviary organisms in a direct response to the sudden appearance of what was believed to have been a dinosaur. She wrote a variety of notes and observations over transdimensional flying creatures, which Pelops suggested to be published. As they hadn't been organized, Mei declined to do so, but when Pelops offered to organize them, she obliged. A while later, as Mei was attempting to make ramen, the AI informed Mei that a Professor named Li Guiying had contacted her as a response to her paper. When questioning how she was able to respond to a paper that hadn't been released yet, Pelops revealed that he'd organized and published it. He explained that Professor Li wished to meet her in Tokyo, prompting Mei to investigate the mysterious professor while she was traveling to Tokyo. She was impressed with her vast variety of accomplishments, but was intrigued by her involvement with an organization known as SHIVA Consortium.

"Tigerish"

Still making her way to Tokyo, Mei continued to further look into Li. She was interested in the concept of Archetype, which was heavily boasted on Li's profile. She questioned if such a molecule was even capable of existing, but still kept the notion that it hadn't been synthesized at the moment. She'd notice a family attempt to plead with a member of the train she was traveling on's staff, which prompted her to ask what was going on. Pelops displayed various images and broadcasts of a swarm of Rodan attacking the area of Chiba, Japan. When Mei briefly saw her apartment building on the news broadcast, she'd become worried as she left her laundry outside. She'd ask Pelops to see if he could obtain any footage of her apartment, causing him to display a list of possibly accessible cameras, three of which had a view of her building. Pelops had gained access to a work robot belonging to Otaki Factory, as Mei was surprised that they had entered "Haberu's Company". Pelops quickly began to move around, leading Satomi Kanahara to believe that Yun required the robot, and as such she'd let him out. While Yun and Haberu were leading the Rodan's away from the area, the robot would prevent one of the flying creatures from attacking the pair. However, Pelops was overwhelmed by the sheer number of Rodans attacking and as such the robot was destroyed. Mei made an emergency stop, and soon after reached Tokyo. There, she met "freelance journalist" Takehiro Kai, a man who she didn't trust as she assumed him to be praying on her due to her research. He explained that Professor Li had actually sent him herself, and asked him to give Mei an envelope. Within the envelope, she'd find a translucid cube containing a small flower. Believing it to be a test, she toyed with it in an attempt to figure out what she was supposed to do with the mysterious object. Kai would laugh in response to this, telling Mei that it was nothing too serious. He'd ask her about her major, as Mei would respond with "Biologia Phantastica." The journalist surprised her by revealing that he was actually very much aware of what that topic entailed. Mei would find an invitation to visit Professor Li's Archetype conference in Dubai, with all expenses paid. Mei was shocked by the reveal that the professor was actually interested in researching alongside her. After finding out that someone had accessed the robot utilizing the AI he'd distributed, he'd contact the user responsible. Mei apologized for damaging the robot, as Yun assured her that she'd been a big help and would later return the favor. She'd change her profile to a Longhorn Beetle, and would ask him about the strange object she'd been given. Yun would recognize the object, referring to it as the "flower rotating in reverse". Mei suddenly realized that the object had strange properties, and he would tell her that he believed it to be called "Archetype".
