Humanity had finally done it. World War 2, At 5:30 a.m. on July 16, 1945, a light brighter than the sun radiated over New Mexico. The fireball annihilated everything in the vicinity, then produced a mushroom cloud that billowed more than seven miles high. In the aftermath, the scientists who had produced the blast laughed and shook hands and passed around celebratory drinks. Then they settled into grim thoughts about the deadly potential of the weapon they had created. They had just produced the world's first nuclear explosion. The test, code-named "Trinity," was a triumph; it proved that scientists could harness the power of plutonium fission. It thrust the world into the atomic age, changing warfare and geopolitical relations forever. Less than a month later, the U.S. dropped two nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan-further proving it was now possible to obliterate large swaths of land and kill masses of people in seconds.

There were of course those who began to push first for a ban on nuclear testing and then for disarmament such as scientists and the public. Einstein whose initial warning to Roosevelt had been designed to prevent nuclear war, rather than set it in motion-was among them. In a 1955 manifesto, the physicist and a group of intellectuals pleaded for the world to abandon its nuclear weapons. "Here, then, is the problem which we present to you, stark and dreadful and inescapable," they wrote. "Shall we put an end to the human race; or shall mankind renounce war?" The urgent issue went unresolved. Then, in 1962, reports of a Soviet arms build-up in Cuba led to the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tense standoff between the U.S. and U.S.S.R. that many feared would end in nuclear catastrophe. At least, that's the story that was told, the one that the public knows, A lie that keeps calm during the invisible storm.

As fast as the age of nuclear weapons raised, it also failed as quickly with the advent of the discovery of an old age of giant prehistoric species of animals that ruled the earth long before mankind even set foot on the playing field, they fed and munched on these weapons of destruction and made man look like nothing but worms in the dirt and in response like humanity usually does it tried to create worse weapons, it tried to create deadlier weapons, it tried to create more destructive ones to try and defeated the monsters that haunted our position as on top of the world, and well.

Humanity eventually did, with the creature that started all of this.

Dr Serizawa was now on one of the helicopters escorting him towards one of the galapagos islands, inside and alongside him was his trusted coworker ben, They both sat down near to each other not really engaging in any meaningful or even worthwhile conversation, completely stuck and lost in their own heads and worries, and outside were other helicopters coming in aswell.

Ben: .. So, just to clear things up, how are you doing today?

Interrupting the peace was none other than ben, Serizawas right hand scientists who specialised in multiple fields of science

Serizawa: Not so well, I'm fearing for the people on that island right now more than anything.
