A Miracle Amidst Destruction and Reflection
Radio reporter
We prayed for a miracle. Maybe our prayers have been answered. A great city, overwhelmed, exhausted, lies helpless under the immeasurable power and ferocity of this towering apparition from before the dawn of history. Yet, as disdaining the pygmies under her feet, she turns back! Turns with her young, leaving the prostrate city, leaving the haunts of man, and leaving man himself to ponder the proud boast that he alone is lord of all creation.

Discovery of an Infant Creature
Professor Flaherty
Captain Ryan. The creature that you have captured is not an adult specimen.
Sam Slade
You mean it isn't fully grown?
Professor Flaherty
No. In fact, we believe it is in rather early infancy.
Sam Slade
You're trying to say there may be a fully grown one of these things around somewhere?
Professor Hendricks
It's a fair assumption. Where there are offspring, there are generally parents.
Joe Ryan
How big would a full-grown one be?
Professor Flaherty
An approximate guess? The infant. The adult.
[He shows them two scale drawings of the creatures]
Joe Ryan
That would make it nearly two hundred feet tall!
Professor Flaherty
At the very least.
Professor Hendricks
Obviously, the proper authorities must be notified at once.
Joe Ryan
What are you trying to do? Stir up a whole hornet's nest because of a few calculations made on a piece of paper? Nuts to that!
Professor Flaherty
I'm afraid, Captain Ryan, the decision is no longer in your hands.

Chaos in Piccadilly Amidst Fear and Panic
Radio reporter
Picadilly. The heart of London. Words can't describe it. There's been nothing like it, not even the worst of the Blitz! This section is complete shambles. People running, mad with fear.
