If N-Project had been allowed to continue?

Just wondering where people who enjoyed Ultraman Next and Nexus would have liked to see Ultraman in the N-Project universe go if had been allowed to have at least one more series or movie.

For myself, I always kind of saw the N-Project stuff as getting a glimpse of the world before the days of something like G.U.T.S or the Science Patrol and the brighter future that Ultraman is more known for. Sort of like a prequel in a way, with the Night Raiders and TLT being what an organization that would evolve into something a billion times more positive. Think of it as what the Science Patrol was in much darker and cynical days with the events of Next and Nexus illustrating what leads into a very transitional period for that group and in that Earth's history.

So for the next series I would have liked to have seen something that took place many years after the events of Nexus where you have a sort of prototype version of the Science Patrol arcetype that is much less polished than would you would typically see. Their hardware is still rough and they have some public relations issues but they believe in what they are doing and want to make it work. Monsters are a regular occurance but nothing truly kaiju sized until we start our series.

As a vauge character idea for the new dunamist, I was thinking of someone who would be in a traditional mold at least in that he's a pilot with the group. But when he starts out he's a bit on the skeptical side about being part of it. It's not an assignment he asked for and to some degree is mistrustful. However deep down he want's to believe in something greater than himself but finds it difficult to do so. So his real power truly shines through when he lets himself go and dares to believe not only in what he can really do but what others can as well. Basically his real potential would come from having the guts to believe in hope.

As for a concept visual or powers I'm not entirely sure. But I think I would definately want to continue in the vein of the Junius forms.
 
I dunno why any new defense team would be rougher or less polished than TLT as TLT was pretty high-tech and streamlined, just super-secretive.

Anyway, I really wish Ultraman 2: Requiem had been made. Wasn't there a trailer for it shown after The Next? I doubt it was much of anything but it'd be neat to see for curiosity's sake.

Hmm. I guess that didn't really come across the way I meant. Okay, just as an offhand example it'd be sort of like the Federation and the crew in Enterprise vs. what you see in OS or TNG. It'd be the Science Patrol starting out.
 
Except at the end of Nexus you see TLT out in full force. Again, they had a pretty organized and well-run organization already, they just gave up on the secrecy thing. Why would they start over?
