Weapon Story

From Grimoire Nier:


Memoir 2003/06/12 at 15:00
A giant white humanoid weapon (referred to as "weapon" in the beginning but "giant" now) falls from the sky in Shinjuku, Tokyo, bringing a huge amount of casualties in the area. Also, at the same time, an organism bearing likeness to that of a red dragon ("dragon" from now on) appears and was seen to engage the "giant" in combat. However, the principles and effects of its attacks remain to be determined. An emergency cabinet is formed while the self-defense squad examined offensive methods against its targets.

Memoir 2003/06/12 at 16:00
The "giant" that battled with the "dragon" suddenly began to crumble. The cause remains unknown. The remaining "dragon" was shot down by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force’s 6th Air Wing, 303rd squadron. No records were made of who ordered an attack on the "dragon". Also, the corpses of the "giant" and "dragon" were being collected, but even we could not get an official confirmation from the organization responsible for the collection.

Memoir 2004/7
More and more humans become vicious due to the "White Chlorination Syndrome". The conflict worsens in polluted areas. While the reason still remains unknown, the infected are separated and the rioters neutralized. Main streets are blocked, and railroads are shut down, leading to the later lockdown of Shinjuku. At the same time, America offered military support unofficially, but the Japanese government remained on the fence about this issue. On one hand, research was being done within the government on the demonic element gained from the "giant" and "dragon", as well as a counter to "White Chlorination Syndrome", leading to the Gestalt Project 10 years later.
