Project Jack

Project Jack (PROJECT JACK Purojekuto Jakku) is the sixty-second chapter of ULTRAMAN by Eichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi.
== Synopsis ==
In the midst of chaos, the Star of Darkness announces they have deployed a bacteriological weapon on New York. Jack and the MAT also make their debut on the streets of Manhattan. 
== Plot ==
Endo calls Rena on his phone but cannot reach her. He watches a broadcast about the Star of Darkness: right now, only two hours remain until the beginning of the attack, and cars trying to escape block up all exits of Manhattan. Endo wonders if it is Rena's fate to always get mixed up with aliens.
Amidst the chaos and panic, cars and people are all trying to flee the city. Rena's phone is not working either, and her ride never showed up. She is clueless about what to do next. Then, Alien Pedan takes over all the screens again: The superhuman phenomena observed in New York recently were all experiments and beta testing for this day. The biological agent they developed gives a human everything it needs to follow its most primal desires. And they already released this agent across the entire island of Manhattan when they made their first announcement. The effects will kick in in two hours and seventeen minutes, and people will start killing and looting uncontrollably. But since they are victims of a biological weapon attack, no one can blame any victim no matter what they do. After Pedan ends the broadcast, Kotaro punches a hole through his tv monitor out of anger.
At the SSSP-US HQ, Shinjiro and Ide worry that the agent infected them as well. Albert Wayans assures their safety for now. Homeland Security tested residue of the chemical from earlier attack sites and concluded that it is unable stay active for long when airborne. They then turn their attention to Shinjiro. If Shinjiro or the police and military, who sealed off Manhattan, get infected by the agent, the consequences could be catastrophic. Albert then asks if there is a way to stop Shinjiro were he infected.
Rena still cannot get through to her father and notices the looting and fighting have already started prematurely. Many people destroy cars, smash windows, and start fires. Then, a group of looters approach Rena and offer to protect her. Rena flees immediately, and the group chases her. Unfortunately, she trips and falls. The looters catch up to her, and just as they are about to lay their hands on her, Rena calls out for Ultraman to help her. After some noises of a beatdown, Rena opens her eyes again and sees three huge and bulky Ultramen standing before her. Their leader, Jack, orders the looters to stand down. Otherwise, the president of the USA authorized them to use force...
