Jake and Nate stood inside Gottlieb’s lab. Gottlieb set a goo-dripping chain saw down and peeled off his thick industrial rubber gloves.

“It’s definitely Kaiju,” he said. “A secondary brain. Used to control the hindquarters.”

“Like the dinosaurs?” asked Nate.

“Actually, that’s a persistent myth. Sauropods did have a sacra-lumbar expansion that was once thought—”

“How’d it get into our world?” interrupted Jake.

“Hasn’t been a breach in ten years. Sensors would have picked it up,” said Marshal Quan.

“I don’t think there was a breach. Kaiju flesh has a distinct radioactive half-life signature, particular to the Anteverse. This specimen doesn’t,” said Gottlieb.

“You saying it came from our universe?” asked Nate.

“The genetic fingerprints indicate distinctly terrestrial modification techniques. Probably engineered from Kaiju tissue left over from the war,” said Gottlieb.

Marshal Quan’s eyes widened. “Precursors didn’t do this. Humans did.”

“How’d a bunch of crazy Kaiju worshippers do all that?” asked Jake.

“Doubtful they could have. Only a dozen or so biotech companies in the world could even take a run at it,” said Gottlieb.

“We need to narrow that list down. Fast,” commanded Quan.

Gottlieb got to work. Quan nodded at Jake and Nate. “Good work. Mako would be proud,” he said. Then he distinctly turned to face Jake and said, “So would your father.”

Jake’s face twisted into thought. He wondered if his father would have echoed that sentiment.
