[00:05] ---
    Damn you...
[00:11] ---
    Lt. Marito!
[00:17] ---
    All units, spread out!
[00:20] ---
    No go, huh? I thought that if it was
    also using lightning to attack,
[00:23] ---
    there would be an opening
    while it switched over.
[00:26] ---
    Looks like it isn't going
    to be that easy.
[00:29] ---
    In which case, what are
    our other options...?
[00:33] ---
    Lt. Marito!
[00:34] ---
    Message from the Deucalion!
    HQ has ordered us to pull out.
[00:38] ---
    Pull out? All our forces?
[00:40] ---
    Dales and Orlov Platoons should
    have gotten the order by now.
[00:44] ---
    But...
[00:45] ---
    But what?
[00:48] ---
    Retreat! Retreat!
[00:52] ---
    Dales 22!
[00:53] ---
    Where is he?!
[00:54] ---
    Where's the enemy?!
[00:57] ---
    Commander!
[00:59] ---
    The invisible Kataphrakt we failed
    to destroy is over there.
[01:02] ---
    Crap.
[01:03] ---
    Clydesdale Leader to Orlov
    Leader, can you hear me?
[01:07] ---
    Retreat!
[01:09] ---
    This is... Orlov Leader...
[01:11] ---
    Retreat's impossible...
[01:13] ---
    I'm the... only... one left...
[01:22] ---
    Lightning and Invisibility...
    And one other?
[01:30] ---
    Order them to continue.
[01:32] ---
    Encircle and eliminate.
[01:35] ---
    As you wish, Milord.
[01:46] ---
    Princess Asseylum?
[01:48] ---
    What is this?!
[01:49] ---
    I have done all I can.
[01:54] ---
    The rest is up to her.
[01:59] ---
    I'm sorry, Slaine...
[02:09] ---
    No...
[04:03] ---
    Dales 11!
[04:11] ---
    Clydesdale Leader!
[04:13] ---
    Kaizuka Jr.!
[04:23] ---
    Please pull out! The smoke screen should
    obstruct the enemy's vision a little.
[04:27] ---
    Go!
[04:28] ---
    R-Roger!
[04:33] ---
    Plus... We can use this
    smoke to attack.
[04:41] ---
    Found him.
[04:42] ---
    To the right! Get clear!
[04:51] ---
    Mustang Leader!
    What's going on, Kaizuka,
[04:54] ---
    I thought you were going
    to keep Lightning busy!
[04:56] ---
    Sorry.
[04:57] ---
    Its fire suddenly shifted, like it was
    concentrating in your direction.
[05:02] ---
    Crap...
[05:08] ---
    We're surrounded?!
[05:10] ---
    Looks that way.
[05:23] ---
    The Deucalion?
[05:31] ---
    Damage report!
[05:32] ---
    We're okay! We're managing
    to discharge it!
[05:34] ---
    Set us down and extract
    all Kataphrakts.
[05:37] ---
    Here, ma'am? That's right in
    the middle of the enemy!
[05:40] ---
    We're landing!
[05:43] ---
    KCAS, 10 knots.
[05:44] ---
    You're descending too fast,
    and there's a strong tail wind!
[05:46] ---
    We're okay! The Aldnoah drive
    is handling it!
[05:49] ---
    Antigrav device to maximum!
    Vertical speed, 1,200 feet per second!
[05:57] ---
    Get aboard!
[05:58] ---
    Guide in Dales Platoon, hurry!
[06:02] ---
    Open ventral hatch!
    Retrieve all Kataphrakts!
[06:06] ---
    At our 9 o'clock!
    Enemy Kataphrakt closing in!
[06:12] ---
    Fire main guns!
[06:18] ---
    Kataphrakt retrieval complete!
[06:20] ---
    We're leaving!
[06:26] ---
    What's that?
[06:27] ---
    Another enemy Kataphrakt to aft!
    Same type as the one we just destroyed!
[06:31] ---
    Reinforcements?
[06:32] ---
    Another at our 2 o'clock! These
    aren't reinforcements! They're...
[06:51] ---
    Enemy returns, 12... 16... 24...
    Number keeps climbing!
[06:56] ---
    A duplication ability?
[06:58] ---
    All ahead full!
[06:59] ---
    Damn it...
[07:13] ---
    Weather radar, Doppler radar,
    both offline!
[07:16] ---
    Crap... Our discharge system must've
    been damaged by Invisibility's arrow.
[07:20] ---
    Radio's out, too!
[07:21] ---
    GPS display lost,
    2D radar also offline!
[07:25] ---
    No way!
[07:26] ---
    Stay calm! Continue ascent!
[07:29] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[07:32] ---
    I see. You are amenable to serving
    Count Troyard, then?
[07:37] ---
    Yes.
[07:38] ---
    I shall pass word along at once.
[07:40] ---
    There is one other favor
    I would ask of you.
[07:43] ---
    What is it?
[07:44] ---
    Might I be granted an audience
    with Princess Asseylum?
[07:47] ---
    What? A personal audience
    with Her Highness?
[07:50] ---
    Yes. And if possible,
    with Count Troyard as well.
[07:53] ---
    That is no small task... However, I will
    endeavor to see that you are accommodated.
[08:00] ---
    It will come at a price.
[08:03] ---
    I understand.
[08:05] ---
    They say defeat strengthens a man.
[08:08] ---
    It's certainly proven to be the case here.
[08:10] ---
    Beg pardon?
[08:11] ---
    Getting into the good graces
    of not only Count Troyard,
[08:12] ---
    but Princess Asseylum as well,
    would be most beneficial.
[08:16] ---
    However, do not wear your
    ambition on your sleeve.
[08:20] ---
    There is a chance that
    it might trip you up.
[08:23] ---
    Of course...
[08:30] ---
    Princess Asseylum is an impostor.
[08:36] ---
    I'm going into space.
    Prepare a shuttle.
[08:39] ---
    Congratulations on your victory,
    Milord Slaine.
[08:42] ---
    This is no cause for celebration,
    not when the enemy escaped.
[08:47] ---
    The objective of securing territory
    was accomplished.
[08:50] ---
    Is that not success enough?
[08:52] ---
    This is sure to cause more knights
    to swear loyalty to you.
[08:56] ---
    We cannot let our guard down. Nothing is less
    reliable than a knight's vow of loyalty.
[09:03] ---
    I am well aware, Milord.
[09:05] ---
    And about that request from Count Barouhcruz?
    What answer shall I give?
[09:11] ---
    Go ahead.
[09:12] ---
    Milord?
[09:13] ---
    Mazuurek, his name was? If he wants to
    see the princess, let him see her.
[09:18] ---
    She is happily fulfilling her role
    of extending our power base.
[09:23] ---
    For the time being, at least.
[09:35] ---
    It's no use. This goes
    way beyond a quick fix.
[09:38] ---
    You're kidding... Night vision's also out,
     so I can't even fly by eye.
[09:46] ---
    What's malfunctioning?
    The sensor system?
[09:48] ---
    How did you know, Lt. Kaizuka?
[09:51] ---
    It's easy to tell. Though minuscule
    in degree, the ship's been drifting.
[09:56] ---
    With this ship, engine-related malfunctions
    are unlikely. In which case...
[10:00] ---
    A-Anyway, help us out!
    We're all kinds of screwed!
[10:12] ---
    You should lower our altitude a little.
    Low enough to keep us off enemy radar.
[10:16] ---
    But the altimeter and GPWS are both dead,
    so I'm scared to take us too low.
[10:21] ---
    I can tell how high we are.
    We're at 9,200 now.
[10:25] ---
    You can see all that?
[10:28] ---
    Can you also pick up
    VOR stations?
[10:30] ---
    Yes.
[10:33] ---
    Once you have both signals,
    tell me. I'll calculate our radial.
[10:36] ---
    All right.
[10:37] ---
    What's our heading?
    I was trying to put us on 110.
[10:40] ---
    You're almost there.
[10:42] ---
    Fly at an offset of 3 degrees for 2 minutes.
    Then straighten out and maintain heading.
[10:47] ---
    This is bad... Are we caught
    in some nasty turbulence?
[10:51] ---
    It looks like it goes on for a while.
    Just to be safe, adjust speed...
[10:54] ---
    I've got this.
[10:57] ---
    I can handle this much.
    It's nothing new.
[11:00] ---
    So I see. From here on out, it looks like
    it's experience that's most important.
[11:04] ---
    Once I pick up an LLG,
    I'll let you know.
[11:06] ---
    Right!
[11:10] ---
    Thank you.
[11:11] ---
    Actually, we should be
    thanking you for earlier.
[11:14] ---
    Lt. Marito was pretty surprised that
    you would do something so crazy.
[11:19] ---
    "You're the last person I want to hear
    that from." Tell him I said that.
[11:25] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[11:27] ---
    Preparations for the founding
    are proceeding smoothly, then?
[11:30] ---
    Yes.
[11:31] ---
    I can hardly wait for
    this new kingdom.
[11:35] ---
    And to be able to go
    to your homeworld.
[11:37] ---
    It is a world inhabited
    by vulgar trash.
[11:40] ---
    It is hardly the restful place
    conjured up by the word "home."
[11:43] ---
    Rather, I never had such
    a place to begin with.
[11:49] ---
    Neither did I.
[11:52] ---
    There is nowhere that
    I might find solace,
[11:56] ---
    neither on Vers
    or in royal standing.
[12:00] ---
    Slaine. Anywhere that I may
    be together with you,
[12:04] ---
    more than anywhere else,
    that is my home.
[12:10] ---
    You honor me.
[12:15] ---
    I shall call on you
    again later, then.
[12:18] ---
    Slaine, dinner is ready.
[12:25] ---
    My apologies, but there are still pressing
    matters that I must attend to.
[12:28] ---
    Please forgive me.
[12:45] ---
    Ina-
[12:51] ---
    Oh, Inko.
    What's the matter?
[12:54] ---
    Um, about yesterday. Nina was gushing
    about how you helped out.
[13:00] ---
    Oh. Sure.
[13:02] ---
    Uh... Is something wrong?
[13:05] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:06] ---
    What? But...
[13:11] ---
    It's nothing, but...
[13:13] ---
    What do you think about the enemy
    coordinating their actions?
[13:16] ---
    Maybe they're just so hard pressed that
    they've been forced to swallow their pride.
[13:21] ---
    If that is the case, I don't
    think we have much to fear.
[13:25] ---
    Do you suppose it's connected
    to that proclamation, then?
[13:30] ---
    That Orbital Knight named Slaine Troyard
    who is behind Princess Asseylum...
[13:34] ---
    I hear even Kaizuka Jr. thinks
    he is a force to be reckoned with.
[13:37] ---
    If this opponent really is setting things
    into motion with a goal in mind,
[13:42] ---
    it's not a simple scheme that we can
    counter with just superior resources.
[13:47] ---
    Enter.
[13:51] ---
    PFC Matsuribi, entering.
[13:55] ---
    Message from HQ, ma'am.
[13:59] ---
    A request for reinforcements?
[14:01] ---
    "Launch all-out attack on
    captured territory and retake it."
[14:07] ---
    Throw sheer numbers at them?
[14:12] ---
    That's the long and short of it.
[14:15] ---
    And how have you
    been feeling since?
[14:18] ---
    Physically, I feel fine.
[14:22] ---
    My memory, however...
    It is still rather hazy.
[14:27] ---
    That is hardly surprising. The very fact that
    you regained consciousness was a miracle.
[14:34] ---
    Please...
[14:37] ---
    Please do not force
    yourself to remember.
[14:41] ---
    Thank you, Slaine.
[14:45] ---
    I'm afraid that I must take my
    leave now. Please get some rest.
[14:49] ---
    I will.
[14:50] ---
    I shall return.
    Please look after Her Highness.
[14:54] ---
    Excuse me, Milord Slaine...
[15:00] ---
    I can guess what it is
    that you wish to ask.
[15:03] ---
    The proclamation, yes? Taking me as her
    husband and founding a country...
[15:10] ---
    That proclamation issued
    by Princess Lemrina
[15:13] ---
    was entirely the result of
    the weakness in my heart.
[15:17] ---
    "Princess Asseylum
    is sure to wake up."
[15:20] ---
    I tried to hold on to that belief but failed,
    having given up somewhere deep down.
[15:30] ---
    But then a miracle happened, as if to
    reprimand me for being such a fool.
[15:36] ---
    With the situation having
    changed so drastically,
[15:39] ---
    what I must think about now is,
    how can I make Her Highness happy?
[15:44] ---
    That, and that alone.
[15:48] ---
    But what of Princess Lemrina?
[15:51] ---
    As to what she is looking for...
    I can tell.
[15:55] ---
    The same thing as me, I suspect.
    A place where she can find solace.
[16:02] ---
    But that is something the two
    of us cannot ever obtain together.
[16:07] ---
    We mustn't tell her everything yet.
[16:10] ---
    But even if she looks down on or derides
    me for what I am doing here,
[16:17] ---
    I do not particularly mind.
[16:22] ---
    It's ironic.
[16:25] ---
    I had waited with such hope
    for Her Highness to awaken.
[16:30] ---
    But now, what I hope for is that
    her memory never returns.
[16:35] ---
    Your newfound resolve to serve
    my trusted Count Troyard
[16:39] ---
    fills me with such joy
    that I cannot contain it.
[16:43] ---
    Your Highness is too kind.
[16:46] ---
    I am fully prepared to serve
    both Your Highness
[16:49] ---
    and Count Troyard with
    wholehearted devotion.
[16:52] ---
    I, too, was touched by
    Count Mazuurek's drive
[16:55] ---
    as he swore to rise once more
    for the sake of Vers' future
[17:02] ---
    even as he was held
    prisoner on Earth.
[17:04] ---
    Begging Your Highness' pardon...
[17:06] ---
    I am given to understand that you once
    underwent similar hardships on Earth.
[17:13] ---
    Yes, something similar.
[17:15] ---
    Terrans are all such... vulgar trash.
[17:21] ---
    There was not a single one that
    Your Highness grew close to?
[17:24] ---
    Close to? I think not.
[17:27] ---
    I left all interaction with Terrans
    to my handmaiden.
[17:32] ---
    I once entertained the notion of
    reconciling with those people,
[17:38] ---
    but I now see what a fool I was.
[17:44] ---
    Why is Slaine not here
    at a time like this?
[17:48] ---
    Lord Slaine is rushing about, making
    preparations for the new operation.
[17:52] ---
    He said as much earlier.
[17:55] ---
    He has been locking himself away in
    his castle far too often lately.
[17:58] ---
    Whatever he is doing,
    can he not do it here?
[18:01] ---
    I believe it involves documents
    of grave import and the like.
[18:04] ---
    Then I shall go to him.
[18:07] ---
    But, Highness—
[18:08] ---
    I shall relocate
    to the Landing Castle.
[18:12] ---
    Your Highness!
[18:17] ---
    Are you unharmed, Highness?
[18:19] ---
    I do apologize.
[18:20] ---
    How long will it be...
[18:24] ---
    Tell me, how long will it be...
[18:35] ---
    I shall see you
    to your room, Highness.
[18:59] ---
    Please pardon the delay, Count Mazuurek.
    Please follow me to the parlor.
[19:05] ---
    You seem to have finished
    checking my credentials.
[19:08] ---
    I deeply apologize.
[19:09] ---
    Not at all, it is I who
    committed a grave blunder.
[19:13] ---
    To think that my own ship
    would suffer such a malfunction...
[19:16] ---
    How fortunate for me that
    you were in the vicinity.
[19:21] ---
    Oh, I see... Count Troyard
    is still at the moonbase.
[19:25] ---
    Yes, Milord. I regret to say
    that you have missed him.
[19:28] ---
    Lord Harklight is on
    his way here now.
[19:33] ---
    I made my move as soon as I was
    certain that he was not here.
[19:37] ---
    Troyard is commuting between here and
    the moonbase more than is necessary.
[19:44] ---
    The princess may be here...
[19:55] ---
    Please wait here.
[19:59] ---
    Are these Terran flowers?
[20:02] ---
    Yes.
[20:03] ---
    This castle has undergone
    quite the transformation.
[20:07] ---
    You can tell, Milord?
[20:09] ---
    I was an acquaintance
    of its former master.
[20:12] ---
    He detested all things Terran, fearing
    that they harbored microorganisms.
[20:17] ---
    There is no need for such concern.
    Terran flowers are perfectly safe—
[20:22] ---
    Oh, you have been to Earth, then?
[20:23] ---
    N-No, that is only
    what I have heard.
[20:27] ---
    I had heard that Princess Asseylum had
    an attendant, but I did not expect—
[20:33] ---
    No. I mean... Her Highness
    went to Earth alone.
[20:37] ---
    No one is speaking of Earth.
[20:42] ---
    I-I must be going!
[20:46] ---
    You truly have not gone there? Do you
    know what happened on Earth?
[20:52] ---
    What about a boy named
    Inaho Kaizuka?
[20:59] ---
    How long will it be...
    Tell me, sister...
[21:05] ---
    How long will it be before you release
    his heart from your grasp?
[21:13] ---
    For me?
[21:15] ---
    Yes, Milady. He said that he
    wanted me to give it to you.
[21:20] ---
    To the princess who
    knew about Earth.
[21:41] ---
    This is...
[21:54] ---
    Milady!
[21:57] ---
    I...
[22:06] ---
    I...
