[00:06] Shiden
    Cyclops to Handler One.
[00:08] Shiden
    They've reached the old high-speed
    railroad terminal at point 122.
[00:13] Shiden
    Sorry. They were jamming the radar,
    and it took us a while to find them.
[00:17] Shiden
    This is gonna be a rough fight
    for the new kids.
[00:21] Shiden
    What do we do?
[00:23] Lena
    Deploy our main force at 062,
[00:25] Lena
    then lure them in with another unit.
[00:27] Lena
    That would put them in range
    of the remaining howitzers.
[00:30] Shiden
    So we're fighting them
    right in front of the base, huh?
[00:33] Shiden
    If they make it through,
    there's nothing but the minefields
[00:35] Shiden
    and the howitzers
    to keep them out, right?
[00:37] Lena
    But it's the best location we have,
    if we're to survive.
[00:44] Shiden
    Yes, my Queen!

    Now for today's update on the war
    from San Magnolia Military HQ!
[00:57] News
    Our nation's autonomous Juggernaut units
    intercepted the Legion mechanized infantry drones,
SIGN    December 2nd, Stellar Year 2148
[01:01] News
    dealt critical damage,
    and forced them to withdraw.
[01:05] News
    Combat via highly advanced,
    ethically responsible drones
[01:08] News
    has resulted in zero fatalities
    on our side!
[01:12] News
    The day when our righteous nation finally smashes
    the evil remnants of the wicked Empire is not far off!
[01:18] News
    Glory to the Republic of San Magnolia,
    and to the five-color flag!
[01:26] Man 1
    Hey, it's the Doll-Crushing Princess!
[01:30] Man 1
    I heard you had another victory
    against the Legion threat today,
[01:33] Man 1
    stained with the blood of pigs!
[01:35] Man 2
    That's why they call her Bloody Regina,
    the bloody queen!
[01:39] Man 1
    You learn to tell the difference
    between men and pigs?
[01:44] Man 2
    She never changes expression.
[01:46] Man 2
    Who knows what she's thinking?
[01:48] Man 3
    Getting demoted for the sake of those pigs...
[01:51] Man 3
    Wearing a black uniform
    when nobody else does...
[01:54] Man 1
    The Legion won't even be around
    in two years!
[01:58] Man 2
    Her family's rich and famous, right?
[02:00] Man 2
    Had she just done nothing,
    she'd have life on easy street.
[02:09] Lena
    Morning.
[02:10] Annette
    Morning.
[02:11] Annette
    There's something I want to check up
     on from what you asked.
[02:15] Annette
    The additional settings
    on the RAID Device.
[02:17] Lena
    Fine.
[02:19] Lena
    I'll be there in two hours.
[02:21] Annette
    Okay, see you then.
[02:28] Lieutenant Colonel
    How many times do I have to tell you,
    "Captain" Milizé?
[02:33] Lieutenant Colonel
    Unauthorized use of the howitzers.
    Unscheduled supply drops.
[02:38] Lieutenant Colonel
    Taking direct command
    of units not below you.
[02:41] Lieutenant Colonel
    Do you know how many
     complaints I'm getting?
[02:44] Lieutenant Colonel
    Don't make me do extra work
    for the sake of the damn Eighty-Six.
[02:48] Lena
    If you'd give me permission in advance,
[02:51] Lena
    you wouldn't have to tell me any of this,
    Lieutenant Colonel.
[02:54] Lieutenant Colonel
    What?
[02:55] Lena
    You, and all of them, are free
    to complain all you like,
[02:59] Lena
    but it has nothing to do with me.
[03:02] Lieutenant Colonel
    You little brat!
[03:04] Lieutenant Colonel
    Know your place!
    You're just a captain!
[03:06] Lena
    Are you sure you want me
    to know my place?
[03:09] Lena
    Your subordinates' results reflect
    on your own career.
[03:12] Lieutenant Colonel
    What?
[03:14] Lena
    I'm currently the top Handler.
[03:15] Lena
    If my Legion kill rate goes down,
    you risk not being promoted.
[03:22] Lena
    Right?
[03:28] Lieutenant Colonel
    Watch your mouth, Captain.
[03:32] Lena
    Excuse me, Lieutenant Colonel.
[04:07] Lena
    I'll let you handle the supplies.
[04:10] Woman
    Okay.
[04:11] Officer
    Captain, I looked into
    how many of the howitzers
[04:13] Officer
    in the rear of Southern Combat District 8
    were still functional, and you were right.
[04:17] Officer
    It was around twenty percent.
[04:19] Lena
    I thought so.
[04:22] Lena
    Our total attrition rate
    on the front lines—
[04:23] Girls
    Hey, look! Look! Snow!
[04:31] Woman
    Winter's really here, huh?
[04:36] Shiden
    Cyclops to Handler One.
[04:38] Shiden
    Do you read?
[04:39] Lena
    Yes. What is it?
[04:41] Shiden
    We found an enemy unit
    out on patrol.
[04:44] Shiden
    We need your orders.
[04:45] Lena
    Understood.
[04:47] Lena
    Keep it up.
[04:49] Lena
    Cyclops, give me a report.
[04:59] Lena
    Sorry I'm late.
[05:04] Annette
    You're pretty early.
[05:10] Annette
    Get started with your chat.
[05:17] Lena
    Yeah.
[05:23] Lena
    Understood. Thank you for the report.
[05:27] Shiden
    Yeah. I'll be waiting for those
    Legion force estimates, Queen.
[05:31] Lena
    Yes, I'll do what I can.
[05:34] Lena
    Let's both work together
    to do our best.
[05:40] Shiden
    Of course.
[05:41] Shiden
    You're our Handler.
    We're counting on you.
[05:46] Lena
    You, too.
[05:47] Lena
    I need the info you give us
    from the battlefield, Cyclops.
[05:53] Shiden
    It's okay to call me
    by my real name now, right?
[05:57] Shiden
    If you aren't going to,
SIGN    Shiden Iida
[05:58] Shiden
    why did you ask?
[06:02] Lena
    Because that's...
[06:06] Lena
    my responsibility as a Handler.
[06:11] Shiden
    You're always so serious
    and formal, you know?
[06:17] Lena
    Think what you like.
[06:21] Shiden
    Thanks to you, though,
    we might live a long time.
[06:26] Shiden
    I appreciate it, but we might be going
    to Spearhead in a few months.
[06:31] Shiden
    The strongest guy I know finally got sent
    on Special Recon a while back.
[06:37] Shiden
    He's probably dead now.
[06:40] Shiden
    The headless Reaper who always used blades.
[06:48] Shiden
    Which do you think will be first:
    us going there or the Legion coming here?
[06:55] Lena
    I don't know.
[06:57] Lena
    But my job now is to prepare for the
     large-scale Legion offensive I think is coming.
[07:05] Shiden
    I've already decided to help you, but...
[07:09] Shiden
    no preparations you make
    will change a thing.
[07:11] Shiden
    You're doing it anyway?
[07:17] Lena
    I'm doing it anyway.
[07:21] Lena
    But Cyclops, don't forget
    your reports on patrol.
[07:27] Shiden
    Roger!
[07:33] Lena
    They told me to survive, anyway.
[07:42] Lena
    They believed in me,
    and told me to fight, and survive.
SIGN    Teppy
[07:54] Lena
    To live up to the hopes of those
    who are no longer with us...
[08:06] Rei
    Shin!
[08:27] Rei
    This is as far as I can go.
[08:30] Rei
    You can go the rest
    of the way yourself, right?
[08:34] Rei
    You've got your comrades going with you.
[08:41] Rei
    You've really grown up, too.
[08:45] Rei
    Don't let me keep you a prisoner.
[08:50] Rei
    You can forget about me.
[08:55] Rei
    Oh, no.
[08:59] Rei
    I want you to remember me,
    just once in a while.
[09:04] Rei
    Live free, be happy...
[09:09] Rei
    And once in a while, you know?
[09:12] Rei
    Just once in a while.
[09:16] Rei
    Be well.
[09:19] Rei
    And please be happy.
[09:32] Shin
    Brother!
[10:08] Ernst
    I know.
    I just want to chat a little.
[10:15] Ernst
    You're awake, huh? Hello.
[10:18] Ernst
    Will you tell me your name?
[10:25] Ernst
    Oh!
[10:26] Ernst
    Oh, the generals were all really worried,
    so they made me wear this biohazard suit.
[10:32] Ernst
    But it's rude to be wearing this, isn't it?
[10:38] Ernst
    My name is Ernst.
[10:40] Ernst
    And you?
[10:44] Shin
    Shin Nouzen.
[10:49] Ernst
    Welcome to the Federacy of Giad!
[10:53] Shin
    "Giad"?
[10:54] Ernst
    Oh, I should explain.
[10:56] Ernst
    We defeated the Giad "Empire" that created the Legion,
    and we changed it into a Federal Republic.
[11:02] Ernst
    Well, because of that, we're still
    fighting the remaining Legion, though.
[11:07] Ernst
    We found you captured by the Legion
    on the western front of the war.
[11:16] Ernst
    Sorry, sorry.
[11:18] Ernst
    Of course you're worried.
[11:24] Ernst
    You were sleeping,
    so we turned the windows opaque.
[11:32] Ernst
    Neither you nor we entirely
     understand what happened.
[11:38] Ernst
    Later, when you remember,
    if you could...
[11:40] Nurse
    Sir! That's enough.
[11:43] Ernst
    Sorry!
[11:45] Ernst
    The scary lady's going to get mad at me,
    so I'll be going.
[11:48] Ernst
    But remember this.
[11:50] Ernst
    You're the first foreign visitors we've had
    since our nation's founding.
[11:56] Ernst
    We were too busy with the Legion
    to put together customs procedures.
[12:01] Ernst
    But don't worry, we will not harm you.
[12:05] Ernst
    I'm Ernst Zimerman,
[12:09] Ernst
    provisional President of the Giad Federacy.
[12:14] Ernst
    What does our analysis show?
[12:16] Analyst
    It's safe to say they aren't agents
    of San Magnolia or any other country.
[12:22] Ernst
    And the odds that
    they're a new type of Legion,
[12:24] Ernst
    or perhaps a carrier
     for a Legion bioweapon?
[12:28] Analyst
    Our tests and the scan we did after they
     were brought in show nothing irregular.
[12:32] Ernst
    And the things they had with them?
[12:34] Analyst
    It's a slightly older model,
    but definitely a Dinosauria.
[12:39] Ernst
    And the things on their ears?
[12:42] Analyst
    A communication device, as they said.
[12:46] Analyst
    It artificially recreates the mental links
    that a certain family is capable of.
[12:50] Ernst
    Revolutionary.
[12:52] Giad Officer
    The safest thing for the Federacy
    would be to eliminate them.
[13:04] Raiden
    Shin,
[13:06] Raiden
    you were out for three whole days.
[13:08] Theo
    Seriously, Kurena was bawling her eyes out.
[13:12] Kurena
    I was not!
[13:15] Anju
    Shin, I know now's not a good time,
[13:20] Anju
    but be ready when you get better.
[13:25] Theo
    Sorry, we all feel the same way.
[13:28] Theo
    If you ever pull that shit again,
    I will kick your ass.
[13:33] Shin
    I didn't mean to die—
[13:35] Theo
    You're going to make me mad.
[13:36] Theo
    Even if you didn't intend to die,
    you knew you would if you fought alone.
[13:41] Theo
    We've all thought about it once, sure.
[13:45] Theo
    But that's why we can't forgive it!
[13:47] Theo
    Because we understand!
    It's cheating.
[13:51] Theo
    Never do that again!
[13:53] Kurena
    I was so worried!
[14:00] Shin
    Sorry.
[14:04] Raiden
    But who knows what happens now...
[14:12] Ernst
    So yeah, from now on,
    you're citizens of the Federacy!
[14:21] Ernst
    Huh?
[14:22] Raiden
    We haven't seen you for a month,
    and the first thing you say is "So yeah?"
[14:28] Ernst
    Yeah?
[14:29] Theo
    You sure you want
    to make a bunch of strange kids
[14:32] Theo
    who were kicked out
    of their old country into citizens?
[14:35] Theo
    Wouldn't it be safer just to kill us?
[14:38] Ernst
    Is that what you want?
[14:41] Shin
    What benefit do you get
    from saving us?
[14:44] Ernst
    A society which refuses to save children
    because there's no "benefit"
[14:49] Ernst
    is a society which in the end
    benefits no one.
[14:52] Ernst
    And if humanity can't survive except
    by killing children because they're "strange,"
[15:00] Ernst
    humanity would be better off dead.
[15:08] Ernst
    Anyway, I'll be your guardian
    for a while.
[15:12] Ernst
    So rest a bit, see this country,
[15:16] Ernst
    and then think about what you'll do.
SIGN    Sankt Glykine Base
[15:27] Richard
    Those war machines we recovered
    —the "Juggernauts"?
SIGN    December 2nd, Stellar Year 2148
[15:31] Richard
    Their capabilities aside,
    what was done with them is amazing.
[15:35] Richard
    I'd love to hear more.
[15:37] Grethe
    Hey, I'm first.
    We won't let you have them.
[15:41] Richard
    What?
[15:42] Grethe
    High-mobility combat data and people
    with actual combat experience against the data.
[15:46] Grethe
    They're perfect as operators
    for my prototypes.
[15:49] Grethe
    They'd be wasted on those slow Vánagandr.
[15:51] Richard
    What did you say, spider woman?
[15:53] Grethe
    What did you say, beetle?
[15:54] Ernst
    You're all free to talk to them.
[15:57] Ernst
    But I won't let them be operators.
[15:59] Ernst
    We'd be no different from the Republic.
[16:02] Grethe
    But they're all saying in
    their counseling sessions
[16:04] Grethe
    that they want to go back
    to the battlefield.
[16:08] Ernst
    That's because the battlefield
     is all they know right now.
[16:14] Ernst
    Actions should be met with rewards.
[16:17] Ernst
    If they've fought for so long,
    they should be given peace.
[16:22] Ernst
    Especially if their homeland
    refuses to do it.
[16:28] Ernst
    I want the Federacy to be just, at least.
[16:31] Ernst
    Because...
[16:33] Ernst
    that is the ideal of mankind.
[17:03] Citizen 1
    Let us save our pitiful comrades!
[17:05] Citizens
    Let's save them!
[17:07] Citizen 1
    The Eighty-Six are victims!
[17:10] Citizens
    Victims!
[17:12] Citizen 1
    Let us save our pitiful comrades!
[17:15] Ernst
    They were all happy when you were saved,
[17:15] Citizens
    Let's save them!
[17:20] Ernst
    because they learned there was
    a surviving country besides our own.
[17:24] Ernst
    But when they learned
    how you were treated,
[17:27] Ernst
    they became overcome with the desire
    to save you and your comrades.
[17:36] Ernst
    This is my house,
    but from now on it's your home.
[17:46] Ernst
    Welcome!
[17:46] Frederica
    Hurry!
[17:48] Frederica
    Push that desk!
[17:49] Frederica
    We need to hurry!
[17:54] Frederica
    Welcome, poor souls who were banished
    from your country!
[18:02] Frederica
    Great Giad welcomes you
    with pity and compassion!
[18:07] Frederica
    We don't expect any kind of recompense
    from low-borns like you,
[18:10] Frederica
    so your thanks are enough!
[18:14] Frederica
    Hey, red-eyes!
[18:15] Frederica
    Why are you looking away?
[18:17] Shin
    I thought there might be someone else here.
[18:19] Frederica
    You shut the door!
[18:21] Frederica
    Are you making fun of me?
[18:23] Shin
    Yes.
[18:25] Frederica
    This is the problem with low-born people
    from the Republic.
[18:28] Raiden
    Is this your daughter?
[18:29] Raiden
    I hate to say it, but you need
    to discipline her better.
[18:32] Ernst
    Oh, no.
    She's not my daughter.
[18:35] Frederica
    Do you really think I'm the daughter
    of this lowly bureaucrat?
[18:39] Frederica
    I'm—
[18:39] Ernst
    Frederica Rosenfort.
[18:41] Ernst
    Some things happened,
    and now she's staying here.
[18:48] Ernst
    It's annoying to explain to everyone,
[18:51] Ernst
    so I've got her down on
    paper as my daughter.
[18:54] Ernst
    But regardless,
    you'll be living together for a while.
[18:59] Ernst
    So I'd appreciate it if you'd think of her
    as a slightly naïve little sister.
[19:05] Raiden
    "Little sister," huh?
[19:07] Ernst
    Oh, on paper, I've adopted you.
[19:12] Ernst
    So you can call me "Dad,"
    if you want.
[19:21] Ernst
    I'm joking.
[19:28] Frederica
    What's that on your neck?
[19:31] Ernst
    Frederica, no.
[19:34] Ernst
    I told you their situation.
[19:36] Ernst
    You have wounds
    you don't want touched, either.
[19:44] Frederica
    I'm the cute little sister
    you've been given to heal your wounds.
[19:50] Frederica
    The family and home
    and happiness you lost...
[19:53] Frederica
    The noble and compassionate
    Federacy is willing to give you.
[19:58] Frederica
    Be very nice to me!
[20:01] Frederica
    Big brothers and sisters!
[20:05] Frederica
    Theresa, they're being mean!
[20:09] Theresa
    Right, right.
[20:10] Theresa
    Frederica, everything that just happened
    was your own fault.
[20:16] Frederica
    Was not! Was not!
[20:17] Theresa
    I'm Theresa.
    I'll be taking care of you.
[20:24] Theresa
    Welcome home, everyone.
[20:31] Frederica
    I'm bored.
    They all went to sleep so early.
[20:41] Ernst
    Sorry, I know you're tired.
[20:43] Ernst
    I was holding on to this.
[20:45] Ernst
    It was in your war machine.
[20:48] Ernst
    Is it yours?
[20:54] Shin
    Yes.
[20:59] Ernst
    Thank you, Theresa.
[21:01] Theresa
    Not at all, sir.
[21:03] Theresa
    Kids that age eat a lot.
    It's fun to cook for them.
[21:08] Ernst
    I'm sorry.
    This is likely to be difficult.
[21:12] Theresa
    Not at all.
    Serving you is my job.
[21:19] Ernst
    Do you think it's a stupid way
    of trying to compensate for things?
[21:26] Ernst
    That I'm using them
    as a replacement?
[21:29] Theresa
    No. They could never be that.
[21:33] Theresa
    Every person is their own,
    irreplaceable individual.
[21:39] Frederica
    But still, people try to bury the past.
[21:43] Frederica
    In whatever way they can.
[21:46] Ernst
    Whom are you talking to,
[21:48] Ernst
    Empress?
[21:58] Frederica
    Kiri...
[23:36] Shin
    "It's Too Late."
