General clarification on works content


* ''Film/Godzilla2014'': A black site is built on the site of the ruined nuclear power plant in the heart of the Janjira exclusion zone, to contain the cocooned [[{{Kaiju}} MUTO]]. The facility is heavily fortified despite surrounded on all sides by irradiated ruins that are off limits to the public (but thanks to [=MUTO=], the facility itself is not actually irradiated), but the hero manages to sneak in just in time to see [[CardboardPrison the containment]] [[OhCrap fail]].
** [[Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019 The sequel]] [[Franchise/MonsterVerse and other films set in the same franchise]] reveal that Monarch has a ''slew'' of these worldwide. Some are used as containment sites for [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]], and these are dubbed "Outposts" and given a numerical designation which is usually a MythologyGag ([[Film/{{Mothra}} Outpost 61]], [[Film/{{Rodan}} Outpost 56]]). Meanwhile, others are more along the lines of underground bunkers and supply deposits. Furthermore, some Outposts are also known by common names (Temple of the Moth, El Nido del Demonio). Their headquarters is an elaborate underwater base off the coast of Bermuda, known as either [[Film/Godzilla1954 Outpost 54]] or Castle Bravo.

Meanwhile, Some Outposts are used as containment sites for [[{{Kaiju}} Titans]] while others are more along the lines of underground bunkers and emergency bunkers, sensor monitoring stations, supply deposits. Furthermore, some Outposts are also known by common names (Temple of the Moth, El Nido del Demonio). Their depots, or simply placed in strategic locations, ensuring that Monarch has quick response time to any Titan-related fiascos that occur. The headquarters is an elaborate underwater base off the coast of Bermuda, known as either [[Film/Godzilla1954 Outpost 54]] or Castle Bravo.Bravo.
** The tech and sophistication level of each Outpost seems to vary: Outpost 56 is a literal VolcanoLair, Outposts 31 and 88 are [[EerieArcticResearchStation Eerie Arctic Research Stations]], and Outpost 47 is a single radiography technician and her equipment packed into an RV in the Utah desert.
