The good news about lowering sea levels is overshadowed by the fact that the magnetic poles of the Earth itself are weakening. This results in an increased in charged particles making their way closer to surface altitude. Certain regions of the world, particularly the poles, are buffeted by solar winds and energised, creating valuable hotspots of energy. Should this continue, however, a complete reversal in polarity will be devastating. It’ll require an intense weakening of the field, rendering technology vulnerable to the winds and radiation. And should it advance to the point of South becoming the new North, human society and culture will be irreversibly affected.
Meanwhile, a terrified Japan scrabbles to clean up in the wake of the battle. The denuclearisation effort went too well, it seems, and their attempt to bait the creature and shoot it with the Disruptor has turned out the same way. Vague reports eventually surface on 2chan of the Kaiju remnants being harvested and taken away by the government, but aren’t taken seriously.
Finally, South America has caused an uproar at the now regular UN meeting by declaring their cooperation with one of the Kaiju. Though news of the mushroom mania is available worldwide, only the UN is informed of the degree of cooperation it has had with Argentina. There are immediate leaps from foreign powers to try and contact it, or receive samples, and make demands from the infected, but all these facts are pushed aside for now.
What the United Nations wants to know is whether this thing is truly on their side, and whether it can do something about the rest of the rampaging monsters that are tearing through the earth.

Sorry for the delay again! Some new green spots are highlighted on the map. These are areas energised by solar radiation, and are free energy harvesting locations.
