Tempus Group Musings

[Azaar]

This is very worth noting. The Rewrite hasn't hit this yet, but the Tempus Group isn't going to be your standard Chronos group at all.

I don't want to give away too much, but it will be connected to the creation Guyver 2F control medal in the rewrite and the recovery of the Guyver 2's and Guyver Zoanoid's control medal. Guyot set the group up after the events in Chronos LA to continue to the work of Fulton Balcus who had Natasha working on the Unit that Guyver US now uses and trying to figure out how to disable the Gen system that stopped the unit from merging with the Zoalord. I don't want to give away much other than that as they will be a part of the rewrite to give a new sub story within Union and Revenge.

But simply put if it was not for them, the fan-fiction wouldn't be what it is.

As most are already aware, the Tempus Group was supposedly the front for Chronos during Guyver 2: Dark Hero -- the group funding Marcus and Cori Edwards' dig in Utah. With this added layer of intrigue from Sully for the fanfic, however, I'm beginning to revise my opinion, and making a couple of assumptions (both of which I imagine will receive the trademark "No Comment" from Sully and Matt both):

1) The Tempus Group is primarily a top-tier Chronos think-tank, with some black ops capability added for those most sensitive operations that only the top Zoalords (Alkanphel, Imakarum, Valkus and perhaps Kron as well) know about or authorize personally -- and the group, in turn, reports straight to them, bypassing the general Chronos hierarchy. Rather than being tasked with genetic engineering for Zoanoid strains, the Tempus Group (and I'm thinking Natasha is at least the chief scientist, if not actually the head of the Tempus Group herself) specifically focuses their attention on the Guyver units and trying to figure out their inner workings -- makes sense, given the connection made to the reconstruction of Valcuria's CM. They're also supposed to be the best of the best, entrusted with the most sensitive missions where discretion is a must: the recovery of both Guyver 2's and Guyver Zoanoid's control medals seem to support this.

2) Every major project needs a first step -- a trial run of the technology, if you will, for field-testing purposes. That said, I have a theory that is admittedly posited more to Matt, given the potential rewrites (if any) that Warrior Guyver C will get (and with this, that might be a distinct possibility, to match the timeline correctly): namely, that the "first step" of reconstructing Guyver 2F's control medal was the Guyver-Emulating Cyber Battle Unit. This also seems to make sense, especially given that the Robo-Guyver unit Chronos developed was never put into full production aside from the prototype and was discontinued shortly thereafter -- and why would Chronos need to develop it any further, for that matter? With ACTF Canada providing all the telemetry and test data Chronos could ever want, it would be a relatively simple matter to confirm that they were on the right track by observing the functionality of the Robo-Guyver unit in action (and also quite possibly through a secret back door program in the Robo-Guyver), and from there refine the process to make the necessary artificial repairs to Valcuria's CM.

Not a musing as much as an outright question: I know that Guyver Zoanoid's and Guyver 2's control medals were both repaired, given their appearance in Revenge. However, the specifics of it, I can't seem to find. I want to think that it was because one of the Gen managed to repair it, or perhaps some Gen or Uranus technology Chronos has in its possession (like perhaps the Ark), but I can't remember for certain. Can someone enlighten me on that, or was that an element that was intentionally left vague?

Some of it may be a stretch, I admit, but hey -- it's new and begs for brainstorming. Thoughts?

I'd say it was intentionally vague because it has been vague in the manga.

I'd say it was intentionally vague because it has been vague in the manga.

It's no in the Manga, only the 2nd Live Action movie, even then it was only mentioned I think once.

Chronos Arizona HQ

Chronos Arizona now the main Chronos command centre in the USA lied deep within a huge base hidden inside a massive rock formation looking no different than any of the other mountains nearby. The base of Chronos Arizona was as old as Chronos itself, the foundation of it being the very day Alkanphel commanded Valkus to make an army of him using the zoanoid designs that lay within the Memory Module inside the Uranus ship. That was over four hundred years ago. Since then the Relic at the core of the base is a secret shrine to Chronos and only the highest members of Chronos get to see the Relic from the outside and fewer still get to touch the Relic Control Medal itself. The base survived an attack from the Gigantic Dark and now with the arrival of the Gigantic Guyver helping the fall of Chronos in the North Eastern USA it was the only main base in the Region.

Zoalord Imakarum stood in the main command centre. All around him the room was full of huge screens showing the battle in New York from different angles. If this had happened a year ago it would have being viewed as a disaster for Chronos. Now it was part of some larger plan of Alkanphel’s. But even he was vague on the details of this plan. Despite their close link there were some things that he did not know of Alkanphel’s past. But in the end he would to as Alkanphel asked, to not do it would spell the end of everything! Dr Valkus entered the room. He too found it odd to be looking at images of Chronos forces being decimated but like Imakarum did not question the plan before them.

“His forces are being decimated by the Gigantic Guyver” said Lord Valkus as he walked up beside Imakarum.

“It is how Alkanphel foresaw it,” said Lord Imakarum. Valkus did not rise to the bait and held back saying “It was not Alkanphel who foresaw these events.” If Alkanphel had not yet shared what happened fifty years ago with Imakarum it was not for him to say now. The main worry for Valkus was it took many years for her to reveal what she knew, her alien DNA making it near impossible for her mind to be dominated until recent years and advancements made by the Tempus Group allowed them access to what she knew. Even then he couldn’t help but feel she actually wanted to be broken and did not share everything at once.

“Indeed it is Imakarum,” said Lord Valkus.

“I find it ironic that after years of trying to destroy or capture the Gigantic Guyver we must now leave him free to destroy our forces,” said Lord Imakarum.

Here is a preview of what's going into Union Part 1 in regards to this group.
