Ishii amused, lets out a relieved sigh "Fine I might as well come clean since it's obvious you are not going to leave this place alive". "See, you vile American dog, we were trying to devise an ultimate weapon of mass destruction with the help of our captured test subject. An esteemed colleague of mine, Dr. Shinozuka had been of immense help to me. Obsessed to find a way to win the war I had enlisted his help no matter the consequences and Dr. Shinozuka was the perfect candidate. I must admit that even with all my tactical intellect came up empty-handed until Gen. Kitano had the pleasure of introducing Dr. Shinozuka to me. Although his claims had sounded far-fetched and outright bizarre at times, I had given in to his outlandish claims of locating an island whose location had been the stuff of legends."

Ishii paused in between as Gen. Kitano prepared to light cigars for both of them. Drawing in a large puff of smoke Ishii continued his ramble,

"Known simply as No Man's Land, I had ventured out with my army of Unit 101, or as you had the pleasure of knowing it by its codename of The Togo Unit to retrieve artifacts of legends. But we had found only a sealed coffin, in which our test subject had been resting in a dormant state."

Alan noticed that Ishii's eyes were glowing with a sense of utter insanity as he was rambling on and it gave him an unknown feeling of dread and helplessness.

Ishii continued further... "Gen. Kitano and I had been running a cornucopia of experiments to enhance the endurance of our soldiers, developing toxins, chemical agents of a multitude, deliberately infecting logs with pathogens, live vivisection so to speak" to wreak havoc on the battlefield.

"Logs? I don't understand" Alan said.

"Oh, where are my manners? Please excuse my absent-mindedness! You see it is easier for the soldiers to address the prisoners as 'wooden logs' instead of their names plus it doubles up as a code word to keep everything low-key. I'm pretty sure there is a word for it in your culture..." Ishii trailed off; his eyes thoughtful.

Gen. Kitano interjected, "I presume sir, it's called the win-win situation isn't it, dog?"

Alan was at a loss for words. He felt a wave of gut-wrenching disgust wash over him as if someone had drenched him in a pool of excrement to rot for eternity. How could someone be so detached from humanity? he thought.

Albeit successful, we were still having major roadblocks in our program but Dr. Shinozuka had been very steadfast to utilize our test subject's residual unearthly energy to power our little science project." Still, there was an initial mishap along the way when one of our pets escaped out into the open but Gen. Kitano reassured me that he had it under control"

"Your 'pets'? Do you mean to say those poor innocent civilians and peasants who had been looking for a means to feed their families?" Alan said.

"Why yes, dog. You are correct! I had to lure them out here somehow with their volition under the pretense of offering them employment"

"And what about those poor souls in those cryo pods?"

"Oh, those?? Those so-called pets are what we have designed to use as our primary army. Relentless, vicious, and completely under my command they will stop at nothing to butcher anyone who tries to oppose them."

"Enough chit-chat, let us proceed to the main event, shall we?" Ishii exclaimed.
