[01:37] Instructor
    Okay, good!
SIGN    Special Officers' School Tactical Practice Grounds
[01:39] Instructor
    Now further back!
[01:41] Instructor
    Push them back!
[01:43] All
    Roger!
[01:48] Eugene
    Do we go around?
[01:50] Marcel
    Just wait, you pieces of scrap.
[01:52] Marcel
    I'm gonna blow a giant hole
    in your ass!
[02:02] Student
    Hey, Marcel!
[02:03] Student
    We're going to crash into it!
[02:25] Student
    We're saved...
[02:27] Eugene
    Ow...
[02:29] Shin
    Sorry, Eugene.
[02:31] Shin
    You okay?
[02:32] Eugene
    I think so...
[02:33] Instructor
    What the hell are you doing?!
[02:36] Instructor
    Get out of there, now!
[02:44] Instructor
    Cadet Marcel, what the hell was that?
SIGN    February 11th, Stellar Year 2149
[02:48] Marcel
    I wanted to get behind the enemy.
[02:50] Instructor
    And so you went over the hill?
[02:53] Instructor
    Exposing your Feldreß's belly
    to enemy fire?
[02:56] Instructor
    Your grade for this exercise is zero!
[02:59] Instructor
    Go back to basic!
[03:01] Marcel
    Yes, sir.
[03:02] Instructor
    Next, Cadet Nouzen!
[03:04] Instructor
    Jumping in a Vánagandr?
    Are you insane?
[03:07] Instructor
    Are you trying to destroy it?
[03:09] Shin
    I judged that it was the only way
    to avoid a collision.
[03:14] Shin
    It's better to lose the legs on one
    than losing both altogether.
[03:19] Eugene
    Shin...
[03:20] Instructor
    True.
[03:23] Instructor
    I'll give you credit
    for avoiding a collision.
[03:26] Instructor
    But you still engaged in dangerous piloting.
[03:29] Instructor
    So you get a zero, too.
[03:31] Instructor
    Got it?
[03:32] Shin
    Yes, sir.
[03:37] Marcel
    Nouzen!
[03:41] Marcel
    I'm not gonna thank you!
[03:43] Shin
    I don't need you to.
[03:44] Marcel
    For one thing, you didn't need to dodge.
    I could've—
[03:46] Shin
    I said you don't need to.
[03:51] Marcel
    Let's go, Eugene.
[03:53] Marcel
    Come with me!
[03:57] Grethe
    It's nice being young, isn't it?
[04:00] Shin
    Is that how it looks to you?
[04:02] Grethe
    You're so cold.
[04:06] Shin
    What is it today?
[04:07] Grethe
    I want you to come with me again.
[04:09] Grethe
    I got permission.
[04:13] Marcel
    Eugene, you need to put some distance
    between you and Nouzen.
[04:16] Eugene
    Why?
[04:17] Classmate
    You know about the new Feldreß those
     Eighty-Six are working on with R & D.
[04:23] Marcel
    Those things are insane.
[04:25] Marcel
    They're based on the Republic's designs,
    which don't factor in pilot safety at all!
[04:30] Student
    They say a dozen of its test pilots
    have already died.
[04:35] Marcel
    But none of them got hurt at all!
[04:38] Eugene
    That's just a rumor.
[04:40] Marcel
    Yeah...
[04:43] Marcel
    But he gives me a bad feeling.
[04:46] Marcel
    Almost as if...
[04:48] Eugene
    As if what?
[04:52] Marcel
    He's the Reaper.
[04:59] Grethe
    Are you guys ready for a trip?
SIGN    April 1st, Stellar Year 2149
[05:09] Raiden
    How far are we going?
[05:11] Kurena
    Is this a training exercise?
[05:12] Theo
    No idea.
[05:14] Anju
    But something's on those trucks, right?
[05:16] Theo
    Oh, with the tarp over it?
[05:23] Grethe
    When you came through this place,
    it was still under Legion control.
[05:27] Grethe
    But we've taken this place back
    over the last six months.
[05:36] Grethe
    We moved up the battle lines
    and found these stranded Republic Feldreß.
[05:42] Grethe
    There was a plate among them
    with names on it.
[05:45] Grethe
    In the Federacy,
    when someone dies in battle,
[05:48] Grethe
    their name is engraved on a memorial
    in the National Cemetery.
[05:51] Grethe
    We decided the names
    of your comrades on the plate,
[05:54] Grethe
    all 575 of them,
    should be recorded here.
[05:58] Grethe
    So we did this.
[06:01] Grethe
    Don't worry.
    After we recorded the names on the plate,
[06:03] Grethe
    we returned it to its original spot.
[06:06] Grethe
    What do you think?
[06:09] Shin
    Thank you for your concern.
[06:14] Grethe
    But you've graduated the
    Special Officers' School,
[06:17] Grethe
    so now you're part
    of the Giad Federacy's military.
[06:22] Grethe
    And before long,
    you'll be sent into battle.
[06:32] Grethe
    You'll be working in the Nordlicht squadron,
    which is under my command.
[06:39] Grethe
    I am Lt. Colonel Grethe Wenzel,
    commander of the 1028th Test Unit.
[06:44] Grethe
    Glad to be working with you all.
[06:46] Shin
    Thank you.
[06:49] Frederica
    Hey, you didn't need to throw us off!
[06:53] Anju
    Frederica?
[06:55] Theo
    What is that?
[06:56] Frederica
    Don't look!
    This is a surprise!
[06:59] Kurena
    A surprise?
[07:00] Frederica
    That's right!
[07:05] Raiden
    What is that?
[07:07] Theo
    A scavenger?
[07:08] Anju
    That's Republic tech.
[07:09] Kurena
    Why?
[07:10] Shin
    Fido?
[07:11] Anju
    What are you saying, Shin?
[07:13] Raiden
    Do you name all your pets
    the same thing?
[07:16] Frederica
    No, this is Fido.
[07:19] Frederica
    The one who was with you.
[07:23] Frederica
    We investigated when we found it
    and discovered its core unit was intact.
[07:29] Frederica
    Grethe rebuilt it.
[07:31] Frederica
    We've replaced the mechanical parts,
    but this is the real Fido!
[07:36] Grethe
    It looks the same,
    but it's several times stronger.
[07:40] Theo
    No way.
[07:41] Frederica
    He also thought he was dead
    and refused to activate at first.
[07:47] Frederica
    He only turned on
    when I gave him Shinei's name.
[07:54] (Flashback) Shin
    You are the proof that we made it here.
[07:58] (Flashback) Shin
    Perform your mission until you rust away.
[08:04] Shin
    You're still alive?
[08:10] Shin
    I ordered to do your mission
    until you rusted away.
[08:18] Shin
    But well...
[08:21] Shin
    Want to go home together, once more?
[08:29] Theo
    Saw that coming.
[08:30] Frederica
    Shouldn't you be a little worried?
[08:32] Grethe
    That's right!
[08:33] Kurena
    It'd take more than that to break Fido.
[08:35] Frederica
    I meant Shinei!
[08:37] Grethe
    Right!
[08:37] Raiden
    Oh, he'll be fine.
[08:39] Anju
    Shin knows how Fido moves.
[08:42] Frederica + Grethe
    Really?
[08:45] Grethe
    So he does know how to smile, huh?
[08:54] Theo
    So, Frederica, why are you here?
[08:56] Frederica
    Because I'm your mascot.
[09:00] Anju
    "Mascot"?
[09:01] Frederica
    You didn't know?
[09:02] Frederica
    They have young girls like me
    join a unit and eat and sleep with them.
[09:08] Frederica
    The unit becomes a found family
[09:10] Frederica
    and becomes willing to risk their lives
    for their beloved daughter or sister.
[09:15] Frederica
    It's a Giad tradition.
[09:17] Theo
    That's sickening.
[09:19] Anju
    Do you mean...
[09:20] Frederica
    Yup.
[09:21] Frederica
    I'll be joining the 1028th Test Unit.
[09:25] Frederica
    Which means I'm your goddess of victory!
[09:31] Frederica
    Why are you laughing?
[09:34] Frederica
    By the way, Shinei.
[09:36] Frederica
    I have another surprise for you.
[09:40] Frederica
    I got it from Ernst.
[09:44] Frederica
    It's important to you, isn't it?
[09:49] Shin
    Yeah.
[09:57] Raiden
    Welcome back.
[09:58] Anju
    Welcome back.
[09:59] Theo
    Welcome back.
[10:00] Kurena
    Welcome back!
[10:04] Shin
    Glad to be here.

[10:11] Soldier 1
    Enemy squadron incoming!
[10:13] Soldier 1
    Forty-five seconds to contact!
[10:16] Soldier 2
    I'm not dying yet!
[10:23] Soldier 3
    Damn it!
[10:24] Soldier 3
    Where's our suppression fire?
[10:28] Soldier
    Damn it all!
[10:30] Soldier
    I'm not letting you
    take me with you!
[10:38] Marcel
    How many of these damn things are there?
[10:41] Soldiers
    Stand fast!
[10:43] Soldiers
    Even if you run, they'll catch you!
[10:45] Soldiers
    I'm honored to die
    for my homeland and my comrades!
[10:52] Eugene
    No!
[11:26] Eugene
    That's the new Reginleif...
[11:33] Soldier
    The Eighty-Six...
[11:36] Soldier
    Monsters of the Republic!
[11:49] Tech
    Lieutenant, you used
    the high-frequency blade again, didn't you?
[11:53] Shin
    Yes.
[11:54] Tech
    Stop abusing that thing!
[11:57] Tech
    We don't have a spare blade yet.
[12:00] Tech
    And even besides that,
    the way you use it—
[12:03] Shin
    It's fine.
[12:04] Shin
    The Legion are going to withdraw.
[12:06] Tech
    Huh?
[12:13] Tech
    Roger.
[12:21] Frederica
    Well done, Shinei!
[12:25] Shin
    You snuck in here again?
[12:27] Frederica
    You can't get rid of me
    by begging the repair crew to help you.
[12:32] Shin
    I told you not to follow us
    onto the battlefield.
[12:35] Shin
    You're just a mascot.
    Remember that.
[12:37] Frederica
    You don't get to tell me that!
[12:40] Frederica
    A commanding officer isn't supposed
    to go running alone into enemy territory!
[12:45] Frederica
    It's a bad habit!
[12:47] Frederica
    Bernholdt was complaining.
[12:51] Frederica
    Are you listening, Shinei?
[12:53] Frederica
    You need to take care of yourself.
[12:57] Frederica
    I can't get it off!
[12:59] Frederica
    Help me, Bernholdt!
[13:01] Bernholdt
    Right, right.
[13:03] Bernholdt
    But you should quiet down.
[13:06] Bernholdt
    Everybody's tired after days of fighting.
[13:09] Frederica
    Yeah. Sorry...
[13:13] Officer 1
    Hey, what are Nordlicht doing here?
SIGN    Giad Federacy Forward Operation Base 15 (FOB15)
[13:18] Officer 2
    We sent a request
    for help yesterday, right?
[13:21] Officer 1
    A 2nd Lieutenant running a whole battalion?
[13:24] Officer 2
    Supposedly all his superior officers died.
[13:26] Officer 2
    Right now, it's at a squadron's staffing level.
[13:29] Officer 1
    Who killed them, I wonder?
[13:31] Officer 3
    The headless skeleton,
    possessed by a Reaper.
[13:34] Officer 3
    Creepy.
[13:38] Marcel
    Stop it, Eugene.
[13:39] Eugene
    Sorry, you eat with the others.
[13:47] Eugene
    Can I sit here?
[13:48] Shin
    Sure...
[13:50] Shin
    Eugene? You ended up here?
[13:53] Eugene
    I got here last month.
[13:55] Eugene
    It's good to see you again, Shin.
[13:57] Shin
    Yeah.
[14:05] Shin
    If you can't eat them,
    don't force yourself.
[14:08] Frederica
    But that would be rude to the kitchen staff.
[14:25] Shin
    Then try harder.
[14:32] Eugene
    You saved us yesterday.
[14:35] Shin
    Oh, sorry.
[14:36] Shin
    There were so many requests
    for help, I didn't notice.
[14:39] Eugene
    You're busy, huh?
[14:41] Shin
    Busy enough for the squadron
    to be split up.
[14:44] Eugene
    That's why it's just the two of you.
[14:47] Frederica
    Hey, I remember you!
[14:50] Eugene
    You remembered me!
[14:51] Frederica
    Of course!
[14:53] Frederica
    I heard you ended up
    in Shinei's class at school!
[14:56] Frederica
    It must've been hard.
[14:58] Eugene
    Yeah. He's really cold,
    and he never talks.
[15:01] Eugene
    You never know what he's thinking.
[15:04] Frederica
    I know! I know!
[15:07] Frederica
    You talk to him, and he doesn't even look up
    from his book, or say a word!
[15:11] Frederica
    If it's not something he's interested in,
    he won't even listen!
[15:14] Eugene
    And he does really crazy stuff at weird times!
[15:18] Frederica
    That's right! That's right!
[15:20] Eugene
    I think we'll get along.
[15:22] Eugene
    Let's be friends!
[15:24] Frederica
    Yes!
[15:25] Frederica
    It's a pleasure to meet you!
[15:26] Frederica
    Now!
[15:28] Frederica
    How about we take a photo
    to remember this day!
[15:31] Eugene
    Yeah.
[15:33] Frederica
    Shinei!
[15:40] Eugene
    Is this part of the job
    for a goddess of victory?
[15:44] Frederica
    It's all I can do.
[15:48] Frederica
    Now...
[15:49] Frederica
    I don't want to interrupt a meeting
    between old friends, so I'll be going!
[15:58] Eugene
    She became a mascot, huh?
[16:01] Shin
    Yeah.
[16:02] Eugene
    Nobody even likes that old custom anymore.
[16:04] Shin
    Even someone like her,
    if she's there, we have to protect her.
[16:08] Shin
    We're all strangers,
    so they must think they need a hostage.
[16:13] Eugene
    That's awful.
[16:15] Shin
    She choose that path.
[16:17] Eugene
    But she doesn't have a reason to fight, right?
[16:20] Eugene
    Family, country, justice, making a living...
[16:23] Eugene
    None of that matters to a kid that age!
[16:27] Eugene
    So why does she have to fight?
[16:31] Shin
    You may be right.
[16:36] Shin
    How's your sister? Is she doing well?
[16:39] Eugene
    Yeah, I think.
[16:42] Eugene
    She's kind of lonely,
    'cause she's staying with my aunt.
[16:45] Shin
    Aunt?
[16:46] Eugene
    Oh, we don't have parents.
[16:49] Eugene
    I want her to go to a good school,
[16:53] Eugene
    so I need to make money.
[16:54] Shin
    It's rough being a big brother.
[16:56] Eugene
    Great, isn't she?
[16:57] Eugene
    You can't have her.
[16:59] Shin
    I've already got a little brat.
[17:02] Eugene
    I'm taking her somewhere
    on my next leave.
[17:06] Eugene
    A zoo or an amusement park.
[17:08] Eugene
    Maybe shopping. Since she's a little girl,
    I bet she'd love clothes or shoes.
[17:15] Shin
    Then you really shouldn't have
    joined the military, right?
[17:20] Shin
    The war's not going well.
[17:21] Shin
    And I don't think that's going to change.
[17:24] Eugene
    Yes. My unit lost fifteen
    people just yesterday.
[17:28] Eugene
    Our commander said this is normal
    when things get bad.
[17:33] Shin
    "Normal," huh?
[17:35] Shin
    I don't think that many dead is "normal."
[17:38] Shin
    The number of dead and the number
    of destroyed Legion don't match at all.
[17:42] Eugene
    It sure doesn't feel like we're winning.
[17:45] Eugene
    From the generals' perspective,
    it probably just means fewer mouths to feed.
[17:51] Eugene
    Sorry!
[17:52] Eugene
    No...
[17:55] Eugene
    But then what about you?
[17:58] Eugene
    Why did you...
[18:05] Shin
    Again? They never give up.
[18:08] Eugene
    I bet girls don't like them.
[18:13] Eugene
    Okay, see you later.
[18:20] Frederica
    You're safe, right, Shinei?
[18:22] Shin
    Yeah.
[18:23] Frederica
    Good.
[18:25] Frederica
    But...
[18:27] Frederica
    I'm sorry.
[18:28] Frederica
    I have bad news.
[18:39] Shin
    Frederica, close your "eyes."
[18:56] Eugene
    Nina...
[19:11] Eugene
    The picture...
[19:14] Eugene
    Nina's...
[19:38] Eugene
    Please...
[19:50] Eugene
    Thank you.
[20:26] Marcel
    Eugene...
[20:30] Marcel
    Did you do that, Nouzen?
[20:33] Shin
    Good timing.
[20:34] Shin
    Make the casualty report.
[20:39] Marcel
    Why didn't you save him?
[20:41] Marcel
    You could've done it!
[20:43] Marcel
    You were too busy fighting
    those hunks of steel, weren't you?
[20:47] Marcel
    You battle-mad Eighty-Six!
[20:50] Officer
    Stop it, Lieutenant Marcel.
[20:53] Officer
    Are you no different
    from those scum in the Republic?
[20:57] Officer
    I apologize.
[20:59] Officer
    And thank you for what
     you did for Lieutenant Rantz.
[21:03] Shin
    No...
[21:04] Officer
    So let me say this.
[21:06] Officer
    If you joined up out of a desire
    to repay us for saving you, there's no need.
[21:12] Officer
    We will never force poor children
    like you to fight.
[21:18] Officer
    It's not too late.
[21:19] Officer
    Leave the army and live happily.
[21:22] Shin
    The Legion are coming.
[21:23] Shin
    Meet up with your allies while you can.
[21:33] Frederica
    Shinei?
[21:34] Shin
    What's the situation?
[21:36] Frederica
    Not good.
[21:38] Frederica
    Nordlicht has new orders.
[21:42] Frederica
    Gather up at point 27-32
    in preparation for a new attack.
[21:46] Frederica
    Then stand by for further orders.
[21:48] Shin
    Roger.
[21:52] Frederica
    Shinei.
[21:56] Frederica
    You're okay, right?
[22:02] Shin
    Yeah.
[23:36] Shin
    "Welcome back."
