The Tokudan series is introduced as a tokusatsu project for fans. A storm strikes Boko Island, causing concern for the security officer, Javier. He is partnered with an AI named My, who helps him with upgrades to his weapon. They decide to explore the basement for a backup power system. As they descend the stairs, they discuss their fear of the dark and encounter a corridor leading to a storage and power facility on sub-level 3. hello friends welcome we are happy to finally present the tokudan series it is our hope to entertain and inspire this is a tokusatsu project for tokusatsu fans now make yourself comfortable we begin with chapter one a hero yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah a sudden storm system has struck boko island the howling winds and powerful thunderclaps shake the small isolated research facility although zaidan site 195 is equipped with all of the expected amenities of our modern world there is still only one security system one person in a room with several monitors of cameras and yet the one watching them is no person at all my is a projection of an AI her small form made of light waves digital resonance and monumental levels of technology yet she stands no taller than a soda can with the small wave and gesture several monitors change their displays showing the massive storm system engulfing the island entirely several warning banners are repeated across many of the monitors oh there's no denying it this is going to be a bad storm oh that is the bad news tone oh boy I'm coming by Javier Roman a misfit security officer that unfortunately pulled the short straw when the Zaidan forces were doling out assignments although site 195 offered nothing in terms of excitement as it has spent the last few decades relegating to serving as a glorified storage facility it held one exception my as a fractal of the Zaidan force hive mind she has access to infinite information which perfectly fits her inquisitive nature as a constant companion she's uploaded to the Zaidan bracer which acts as her interface Javier couldn't have wished for a better partner no and what happened to just a light shower I'll say although it isn't uncommon for tropical climates to endure hurricanes without much warning but this looks like it's settling over the entire island it's fascinating but could be very problematic since it doesn't let up for hours oh wow well I'll keep an eye on this but at the very least we're safer staying put great we're in for an all-nighter huh you know a bluish glow blooms from the Zaidan bracer small crystalline shaped light segments gather together in an instant forming a hand-sized blaster he lovingly calls it the sector shot one of my proudest creations and Javi's favorite he eagerly places it on the desk in front of him we could work on those upgrades I did mention that sector still has that weird recoil right Javi if HQ finds out what you're doing with their armor they stationed us all the way out here because of the sector shot but they saw that before it was ready when they see what we're doing with lockdown their onset unit will be incredible they'll promote us they'll have to fine fine I have finished the calibrations on the sector shot anyway I told you the recoil throws it off center and it pulls to the right of it my design is perfect I'm simply calibrating it to account for your bad aim I don't you don't work on that that's a deal you coming well I suppose on-site information would help with my calibrations yes he could expedite my results if I have him focus on frequency rounds Oh perhaps getting distance gated that recurring intervals could account for the recoil resulting in the pull to compensate yes of course doing the thing again my oh sorry yes I'm in for research purposes my sprite projection dissipates into a beam of fragmented energy waves flowing up across the air collecting into a device on Javi's forearm after a moment the device's display screen jolts with a bluish green glow that's the projection of my face appears yeah before we head out let's make sure we turn oh thanks that wasn't me not fun looks like the power grid just gave out across most of the island perfect well there's got to be some kind of backup system here right I'm not sure not sure hmm you still haven't done that update have you not happening my we've been here for months we don't even have a map of this place I'm not going to do it then you see what that update did to Harlan it changed him yeah I did Charlie says that the updates from Zen are nice but Harlan is not the same anymore and he's hollower I don't know what that means but it sounds sounds awful I like being me Javi which isn't all all right all right I guess if there is some kind of backup power it's gonna be in the basement all the way down there let's go Javi extracts a flashlight from its harness on his belt instinctively tapping his sector shot safety switch seems all his gunslinging practice had its effect flashing his light to the mark on the wall next to the stairwell 5s he then takes one peek over the railing down the abysmally dark emptiness Javi's flashlight pierces the darkness as the pair descend further and further you know I could make a brighter flashlight bananas until we get the power back on what we have or all we've got right right the dark is just not fun wait since when are you scared of the dark hey don't you judge me mr. arachnophobia oh hey you know I'm not afraid of them so long as I can see them but they're fast sneaky I don't trust them they could be crawling all over these old stairwells okay maybe a bit brighter and a flamethrower all right brighter flashlight check flamethrower possible the side on bracer flashes with its bluish white light the tiny nanomachines swarm out from digitized light and gather around the flashlights lens it's meager yellow beam within moments becomes a radiant white gleam no spiders my's pleased smile is enough reassurance for the both of them to go on flight after flight each step in a dizzying cycle of echoing footfalls Javi scans each passing mark 4f 3f 2f 1f G then SL 1 SL 2 then suddenly no more steps only a narrow corridor leading to a massive set of metal double doors a mark above and chipped faded paint reading sub-level 3 facility storage and power
