The Fantop moving into position

For one of the phases in the operation against Gokigumon, XIG decided to fire bomb the kaiju and a nest-turned high-rise building. Team Seagull and their vehicle Fantop were deployed to the mission area and put on standby to counter any potential secondary disaster. The operation phase commenced but the kaiju deflected the fire bomb, causing it to detonate on a nearby building. The Fantop moved into position and launched a fire extinguishing shell, immediately neutralizing the fire.The Demon's Cocoon
