Project F

were unauthorized attempts at weaponizing the Ultra-Ancient Giants of Light as part of TPC's military might by their Police Bureau, who also carried out the project in secret.空想特撮映像のすばらしき世界―ウルトラマンティガ・ウルトラマンダイナ・ウルトラマンガイア pages 44-45 "TPC年代史" Despite their benign motive at advocating peace and security, the methods used to carry out the operation were controversial, as both attempts resulted in massive casualties that eventually did more harm than good to mankind's protection and TPC's reputation.
It was first carried out in R'lyeh in year 2012, only to be frozen afterwards and relaunched in the Neo Frontier era at the height of the war against Spheres.
==History==
===Prelude===
After the resurrection of Ultraman Tiga into the modern era (year 2007), TPC had been actively trying to study the essence of the Ultra-Ancient Giants of Light through pieces of stone statues that used to be Tiga's companions. The study was carried out by the , led by Yuuji Tango. The stone statue pieces were stored in a casket codenamed "Ark". Two years later, Tango made a deal with Keigo Masaki to smuggle the Ark away from Dive Hangar to Cytech Corporation, where the duo plan to harness the power of ancient giants for their own personal gain. Using the stolen Sparklence from Daigo Madoka and the , Keigo turns himself into light particles to assimilate with the stone statue of Evil Tiga. Unfortunately this became his undoing as the CEO has no control over his actions, causing the giant to run amok on Kumamoto until Ultraman Tiga appears and defuse the situation, though not without killing the monster Guardie. Following Evil Tiga's defeat, Kengo and Tango were both arrested by TPC's Police Bureau, but the two would cooperate once more under the group's guidance to use their research in revitalizing Tiga's petrified form when Gatanothor unleashes its reign of terror on Earth. 
The island R'lyeh rose to the surface during Gatanothor's presence and continued to do so in spite of the monster's defeat, leading to TPC taking up archaeological research on the island in year 2011. Known as the , they discover a trio of stone statues with active energy reading. Police Bureau’s Deputy Director Nagumo concocted the Project F in secret to utilize the ancient giants as part of TPC's military might, going as far as to reorganize the investigation team with electing fellow Police Bureau member Saeki as the leading officer.
===Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey===
In year 2012, Megumi Iruma participated in the expedition and discovered the existence of Project F after reaching the archaeological site. Despite the expedition team's protest, Iruma's fears came true as the three statues reveal themselves as Giants of Darkness and massacred the entire team, setting forth the motion of R'lyeh Tragedy into place. After the incident was resolved, Nagumo was arrested for being the instigator with his position being taken over by his no. 3 officer Kihachi Gondou. Records of Project F and R'lyeh Tragedy was kept in the Omega Files under tight security by the Intelligence Department.
===Ultraman Dyna===
Following the failure of Prometheus, Gondou relaunched Project F in 2019 at the Police Bureau's Research Institute located at the Martian Marineris Base. The Ark casket was secretly smuggled from their storage area at the Bioscience Research Institute by the Black Buster Corps to the Mars.
The Intelligence Department would acknowledge that the Police Bureau had stole the data of Project F in year 2020. While building their artificial Ultraman Terranoid, the Police Bureau's intense investigation would discover Shin Asuka as the human host of Ultraman Dyna. Exactly as Iruma made her move to investigate their corruption, the Police Bureau kidnapped Asuka after luring him to Mars and extracted his light energy to activate Terranoid. Unfortunately in his test run, the giant was assimilated by the Spheres into Zeluganoid and destroyed a huge portion of the Marineris Base. After briefly falling into despair, Gondou took his chance at redemption by sacrificing his life to replenish Dyna and destroying Zeluganoid. The incident resulted in Reika Saeki being left as the sole survivor of Black Buster Corps while subsequent battle would be followed by Gransphere's failed attempt at devouring the solar system, no less thanks to the joint collaboration of Super GUTS and Dyna himself.

==Trivia==
*The term Omega Files were reused from Heisei Ultraseven to describe the document storage section where information regarding Nonmalt and their authenticity as the true Earthlings heavily guarded under tight security. It is also the plot point of another defense organization-related event, Friendship Plan, as it exposes the corruption of their respective teams through radical-minded officers.
