London, somewhere in Whitechapel

Ren serizawa entered the apartment room and found the man Apex was looking for: John Conrad, the son of James Conrad and Mason Weaver and brother of Maria Conrad

John: *notices him come in* hi? Who are you?

???: Mr Conrad

John: what the?? *Turns*

Walter: Guys like you and me? Don't do normal times.

John: You're Walter Simmons, i've heard of you *shakes hand*

Walter: Lemme introduce Apex's head of cybernetics, Mr Ren Serizawa

Ren: hello, Mr Conrad *bows* You're book on the Hollow Earth was very good

John: thanks, got about 30 boxes of unsold copies

Walter: pretty shocking about the Godzilla attack, these are dangerous times

John: well, why have you come to me?

Walter: To stop Godzilla, we are in need of a power source, located in the Hollow Earth,

Ren: a power source with a direct match of Gojira's, You're the only person who may lead this expedition with proper experience

John: can't be done.

Ren: data shows the Hollow Earth's environment is mostly inhabitable. So what exactly went wrong, Mr Conrad?

John: while going down the tunnel, the entire planets gravity completely inverted, crushing the ship, I was the only survivor

Walter: what if i told you, we at Apex had a vehicle capable of entering the Hollow Earth

Ren opened up a hologram, displaying an incredible looking vehicle

Walter: The Hollow Earth Aerial Vehicle, HEAV for short. Will allow us to venture into the Hollow Earth.

John: hmm...I've got an idea, a crazy one tho..

Walter: me and Clark like crazy ideas, they make us rich!

John: If we use a Titan to help guide us to the Power Source, located in the very center

Ren: that could work! after all most Titans, including Gojira's seem to come originally from the Hollow Earth

john: Exactly! The Titan in question should know where it's going!

Walter: quick question tho, which Titan do you suggest?

John: *takes a look at a magazine detailing Maria and her research of Kong* Leave that to me

John arrives in Skull Island and asks one of the operatives

John: excuse me, I'm looking for Maria Conrad

Guard: Oh, she's in--

Maria: What's going on?

Then, John and Maria stares to each other's eyes, like they're rivals

Maria: John Conrad

John: Maria Conrad

Maria: What are you doing here?

Skip to after John explaining the mission to the Hollow Earth and needing Kong as a guide, Maria's response was one word

Maria: No.

John: Please?

Maria: No!

John: Maria, it's just this one mission, you know every other Titan won't do it, since their submissive to Godzilla!

Maria: Godzilla might come for him, it would be a death sentence!

John: Kong's more than capable of defending himself! once we find the source, Kong can be back here in an instant!

Maria:....*notices Kong walking by and noticing*

John: *looks up at Kong* Oh, bloody hell, he's pretty big....

Maria: He sure is

John: you remember the origin of Kong's species, in how they used to be from the Hollow Earth?

Maria: Uh huh?

John: *sees Jia* Who is this?

Maria: that is Jia, my adopted daughter,

John: Oh, hey Jia

Jia: *signs* "you can't just take Kong away, this is his home, ours"

John: What is she saying?

Maria: she says, you can't take Kong off the island, simple as that

John: Oh come on. Imagined, you seeing the wonders of Hollow Earth! Through that entrance in Antarctica, he could help us find that source

Maria: *looks at Kong and then Jia and sighs* Alright...

John: yes!

Maria: but! But! Remember, Kong is my responsibility, whatever i say goes Go!

John: Thank you! Thank you so much *hugs her and runs off* you won't regret this!

Maria: Mhm, I already regret this *stares at Jia*

Jia: *signs* "THat's your brother?"

Maria: *signs* "Yep! Your uncle John"

Jia: *signs* "He seems like a lunatic"

Maria: *signs* "you guessed that now?"
