    An Australian Special Ops soldier explores an unusual cave in Helmand Province, Afghanistan circa 2014. Originally believed to have been built by local insurgents or drug smugglers, the presence of a strange biological fluid lead ISAF forces to suspect the tunnel was actually dug by a previously undiscovered organism.

    The investigation was soon taken over by Monarch, who were unable to determine the exact species responsible before the Battle of San Francisco and subsequent panic forced the organization to focus on other matters.

    Underwater footage of an unknown muto skull, found in the devil's triangle near Japan 2019

    Artistic recollection of a former UN scientist from a then classified "weather control" project in 1970's. He claimed that his team had succeeded in transforming the tropical (REDACTED) to a wintry climate. As the team prepared to withdraw, they witnessed Godzilla emerging from an enormous snowbank and marching to the sea. Unfortunately, all cameras were out of film or packed up, so the scientists gathered drawing material and drew out what they witnessed. MONARCH and other proper authorities sequestered the scientists and blocked any release of the drawing until after San Francisco...

    The last photograph by Royal Navy divers near the Falklands, 1982. The divers survived, but suffered severe cases of the bends and the footage was confiscated by Her Majesty's government before being transferred to MONARCH.

    Photograph of a strange phenomenon, possibly an extraterrestrial titan, taken near a coal mine in South Africa 1971. Shortly after this occurrence, the South Africa economy was struck by a shortage of coal and diamonds, which was blamed on rebels, communists, and most of the other usual suspects.

    A Juliet Marine Systems Ghost, one of Monarch’s naval assets. It is believed that the stealthy design will allow the craft to go unnoticed by the echolocation of seaborne Titans though this has yet to be tested in the field. Several Ghosts have been used to transport Monarch personnel in and out of incident sites without notifying the public.

    An Ancient statue found in a temple not far from the American base on Okinawa. It was found in 1974 by MONARCH agents Kaneshiro and Shimizu, but has remained at the undisclosed location through an agreement between MONARCH, the USMC, and local authorities. MONARCH believes it to be a totem capable of awakening a titan, a bipedal being that resembles a lion.

    Doctor Akira Yamane- once a colleague of the late Dr. Ishiro Serizawa, Yamane left MONARCH in 2016 before joining the American DARPA anti-titan project which would result in the "Oxygen Destroyer" Yamane was said to be a kind, jovial man who saw Godzilla as a subject to study, not a menace to be eradicated. This changed after his rescue from being lost at sea, near the Devil's triangle in the Pacific, where Yamane was the sole survivor of four.

    This is the last official photograph of Yamane before his disappearance in 2018. His last recorded words were "I used to be a grandfather...", believed to be in reference to the loss of his grandchildren on the ill-fated voyage.

    Underwater drone footage from near the last reported location of the sunken Soviet submarine K-129, which sank under mysterious circumstance near the Hawaiian islands in 1968. If this is the same Godzilla as the one the world has come to know since 2014, why did it take nearly 50 years more to become known? Also, was it responsible for the destruction of the submarine? And if it isn't the same, how many Godzillas could there be?

    Computer generated image of a microscopic organism found in samples taken from the Gulf of Mexico following the underwater detonation of the Oxygen Destroyer. With the disappearance of Doctor Yamane, very little can be explained of the dramatic changes in the water following the deployment of this new WMD. The Mexican government and fishing industries from both Mexico and the US have launched massive class action lawsuits against the US government and the military while the UN has attempted to censure the US for the development of the Oxygen Destroyer and starting a new WMD arms race.

    Enhanced photograph taken by a JMSDF patrol boat near the US naval base in Yokosuka. At first the crew believed it to be a lost float, prank, or submarine; until they moved closer and in turn were pursued by the object. The patrol boat shifted to flank speed while alerting nearby vessels and planes before the unidentified object submerged and left. This is not the only sighting of a such an object in Japan, but it is the first reported by government or military sources. Furthermore, the depiction is similar to that of sightings in Africa and China.

    A group of men posing on a house in Johnstown Pennsylvania after a massive flood in 1889. Curiously some eyewitnesses reported seeing a creature resembling a massive earthworm thrashing about in the floodwaters damaging serval structures such as the one pictured above. Though authorities dismissed these claims as simple mass hysteria.

    A southerner mob protests the destruction of Stone Mountain after the saurian titan Tiamat emerged from under it and destroyed the infamous Confederate carving in the process. Frustratingly enough, many conservatives in the wake of the Titanomachy have accused titans of being a hoax perpetrated by the UN and Monarch to among other things, destroy the oil and coal industries and kill all white people.

    [​IMG]
    A boatful of refugees tries to get to Italy after fleeing the destruction wrecked by the entelodont titan Sekhmet in Egypt. The Titanomachy was easily the worst humanitarian crisis in mankind's history, with an estimated 25.81 million people dead from the titan attacks and an estimated 442 million people displaced because of it, and the damage is expected to reach into sextillions of dollars.

    [​IMG]
    President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin discuss their plans on what to do with their respective countries. President Trump fled the country from Ghidorah and Rodan (as well as Tiamat) on Air Force One with his sons to Russia where Putin welcomed him and allowed him to stay, a move which pretty much everyone at best mocked and at worst viewed as cowardly by both sides on the political spectrum. Putin has notably been very critical towards titans, notably ordering the semi-unsuccessful nuking of Abaddon and Leviathan, cut off and block funding for titan research, and the Kremlin has caused spats with Monarch in the past.

    Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot discusses with the public plans to move the capital of the United States to Chicago after Washington DC's destruction. Rather humiliatingly, the Senate and House were moved to a cheap warehouse with foldout chairs as seating for their first sessions.

    The USS Intrepid on route to the Battle of Clipperton Island, lasting from March 12 to November 3, 1944 as part of the American Theatre. Among the presumed casualties of the Battle include one Henry C. Marlowe who was thought to be KIA until he was reveal to have survived on Outpost 33, more commonly known as Skull Island.
    Inspired by how this map of all the titans features Skull Island closer to Mexico even though the dogfight features Japanese dogfight, which was mostly in the western Pacific.

    The wreck of U-67, a nazi U-Boat converted from a soviet submarine, which mysteriously sunk under unknown circumstances in 1943, though official documents state the submarine was scuttled. Only one crewmember, Jr. Lt. Paul Adler (b. June 12, 1910), survived and was found by fishermen before dying a week later; he claimed the ship had encountered a massive creature he had dubbed Jörmugandor, which had led it to sink after it started giving out a strange pulsating glow, suggesting it was an EMP which fell the U-Boat, similar in nature to those of the Mutos. Strangely enough, she indeed sustained very little if no hull damage when she was found in 2017 off the coast of Ireland, but many of her systems were melted beyond repair. On a final note, leaked documents have confirmed Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan had discovered the existence of at least four other MUTOs [1], and was establishing a sort of Proto-Monarch simply known as the Steller Project.

    A field of ruined corn in Ottumwa, South Dakota lays dry after the emergence of the arachnoid titan Sargon. It is estimated the damage caused by Sargon alone costs $800 Billion. Scenes like these are a common motivator for anti-titan sentiments and movements, arguing the socioeconomic damage caused by the titans outweighs the direct and net benefits of keeping them around, even with Godzilla fighting them.

    [1] Referred to as Aurgelmirs in them, after the primordial giant in Norse mythology.

    F-117 Nighthawks of Monarch’s Gold Squadron on patrol near Titanus Scylla’s containment facility in Sedona, Arizona in 2010. While the USAF retired the F-117 in 2008, Monarch continued to fly the stealth bomber until replacing it with the F-35 Lightning II in 2016.

    A church in Chengu, Sichuan Province, China lays derelict after being trampled by Longmu, a previously-undiscovered titan of apparent myriapedal nature. Like Putin's Russia, China has been extremely critical of the titans, with companies working to create defenses against them and have tried to block Monarch from operating in China.

    Two such examples of such kaiju defenses, the NK1 exosuit and the KRO1 mecha-drone, used respectively to search in rubble for victims and for gripping onto MUTOs or Titans and blowing themselves up to slow them down. The US is trying to buy both of these machinery for its own antikaiju defenses.

    A mass grave created during the Nanjing Massacre by Imperial Japanese forces. During the period of the infamous war crime, several imperial soldiers and civilians who had survived the massacre reported seeing massive creatures resembling giant fireflies or beetles flying over the forests surrounding it, with many believing these were the spirits of victims departing for Heaven; its worth mentioning imperial accounts have them be more aggressive, attacking several soldiers and eating them midflight (something dismissed as hallucinations/fantasies), while civilian's accounts had the creatures be more neutral, either ignoring them or turning to look at the burning city.

    A woman and her her child await help in Yemen. Following the Titanomachy, the US suspended its current humanitarian efforts in current to focus on places ravaged by the titans, such as Cambodia, Brazil, and Sudan. This has led to a countless slew of other problems in turn.

    A photo taken in 1896 Wyoming not far from Devil's Tower and Monarch Outpost 8, where a posse of trappers, farmers, and loggers caught and shot a strange aquatic creature described by one member as "the bastard child of a manta ray, a bat, a swordfish, a gator, and a heron after they all had an orgy", later dubbed by them the Rivapier. Several state and neighboring papers covered it and even attracted then attention of noted scientist Roy Carlyle. He decided the creature was not a pterosaur as they were understood at the time, instead deciding the creature was a derived crocodilian. Whatever the Rivapier was, it seemed to only be a mere juvenile, suggesting larger specimens could emerge soon. Sadly, the original specimen was lost in a fire before it could be officially described.

    A ship surveys the damage caused by the Oxygen Destroyer. Its estimated that over 12 species have been rendered extinct and between 56 species have had numbers drastically reduced, with a dead zone stretching from Veracruz to southern Texas. Even with certain titans restoring fishstocks, it is certain the zone will not recover for another at least 127.63 years.

    Private James P. Albini photographed during the ill-fated 1973 Monarch-Landsat expedition to Skull Island. When debriefed afterword he spoke of the island: “One of the worst places I’ve ever been in. It’s one big f@#%ing bleeding sour in time, everything there shoulda’ died out a million years ago. You Pentagon a#%$&+es should just nuke the whole g-$%am rock and be done with it.”
