[00:08] ---
    I see that you are awake,
    Slaine Troyard.
[00:13] ---
    Where am I...?
[00:14] ---
    My castle. You are safe now.
    Take your time and rest.
[00:19] ---
    What happened...?
[00:23] ---
    I remember being interrogated
    by Count Cruhteo, but then...
[00:26] ---
    You have nothing to fear.
    I have dealt with him.
[00:32] ---
    The count... is dead?
[00:36] ---
    I am indebted to your father. Hence,
    I am obligated to repay that debt.
[00:44] ---
    Indebted?
[00:46] ---
    When war first broke out 15 years ago,
    I came down to Earth as a scout.
[00:53] ---
    There, I was caught in Heaven's Fall
    and was mortally wounded.
[00:58] ---
    Amidst that cataclysm where
    the Moon was sundered,
[01:02] ---
    the Earth's crust deformed, and there
    was nowhere to turn for help,
[01:05] ---
    I was found by your father,
    Dr. Troyard, and he saved my life.
[01:12] ---
    Father did that?
[01:13] ---
    I have seen clearly the depths
    of your loyalty to the princess.
[01:18] ---
    Your devotion in concealing her survival so
    as not to alert the assassins is admirable.
[01:25] ---
    How did you know
    that she...?
[01:28] ---
    Count Cruhteo is no traitor.
[01:32] ---
    Quite the contrary, he is a true knight
    who has sworn fealty to the princess.
[01:37] ---
    While I am the traitor who
    plotted her assassination.
[03:20] ---
    Pay close attention to your surroundings.
    Come on, infrared, too.
[03:24] ---
    Keep your guard up.
[03:26] ---
    Yes, ma'am! Three aircraft,
    2 o'clock! No IFF signal!
[03:30] ---
    Flagging as hostiles! Almost in
    effective weapons range!
[03:33] ---
    Now engaging!
[03:39] ---
    Wow, Inko's good.
[03:43] ---
    She has pretty good instincts.
    You here to practice, too, Calm?
[03:47] ---
    I got assigned
    to maintenance crew.
[03:50] ---
    For now, maybe.
[03:52] ---
    You mean there might
    be an opening?
[03:56] ---
    This is war, after all.
[04:01] ---
    Let me try.
[04:04] ---
    Hey, Sniper Girl.
[04:06] ---
    But I thought you hadn't
    had any military training.
[04:09] ---
    I learned from games.
[04:10] ---
    Sim-Kat 10, you mean?
    That's such a solid game...
[04:14] ---
    I'm only so-so in live drills,
    but I kick ass on that game.
[04:18] ---
    Man, I'm amazed you learned to pilot
    the real thing from a game...
[04:29] ---
    The Martians, huh?
[04:31] ---
    They look exactly the same as us Terrans, huh?
    You'd never know unless somebody told you.
[04:37] ---
    Inaho's such a jerk. He knew who she
    really was, but didn't tell us.
[04:43] ---
    My Nao has grown up, I guess.
[04:46] ---
    I just wish that he had opened up
    to his big sister, at least.
[04:49] ---
    Since he met a girl
    he likes, and all...
[04:53] ---
    Come again?
[04:54] ---
    What's that supposed
    to mean?!
[04:55] ---
    Given the times we live in, a Martian
    won't be met with open arms,
[04:59] ---
    but if he marries a princess, my little Nao
    would be marrying into serious money!
[05:06] ---
    Is that true?!
    Is that what he'll do?!
[05:08] ---
    I don't get that vibe at all.
[05:11] ---
    He never cracks a smile, and he has the
    same old grumpy look on his face..
[05:15] ---
    It's totally different.
[05:17] ---
    Really?
[05:19] ---
    I'm family, so I can tell.
[05:21] ---
    I know how he looks when
    he's happy, when he's depressed,
[05:24] ---
    and when he's lying.
[05:26] ---
    That is his "I'm on
    cloud nine" face.
[05:29] ---
    I dunno...
[05:30] ---
    For starters, that cold fish listening intently
    to a girl is unusual in and of itself, right?
[05:36] ---
    Now that is true!
[05:37] ---
    For that boy, it's the ultimate
    expression of affection.
[05:40] ---
    Warrant Officer Kaizuka!
    May I take a break?
[05:45] ---
    Sure.
[05:45] ---
    Me, too!
[05:50] ---
    May I use the simulator?
[05:51] ---
    Sure, of course.
    You don't want to join them?
[06:01] ---
    Can you really tell?
[06:05] ---
    When someone is lying?
[06:07] ---
    Pretty much. I mean, I can tell
    from your face that you're lying.
[06:13] ---
    A Martian!
[06:15] ---
    And a princess, to boot!
[06:18] ---
    Guys sure love to try to
    tackle a challenge, huh?
[06:21] ---
    But you have a shot, too,
    so don't give up. Hang in there.
[06:26] ---
    As a big sister, I love that my little
    brother is so popular with the girls.
[06:30] ---
    These are the 26 Landing
    Castle drop points
[06:33] ---
    confirmed before contact
    was lost with our main force.
[06:38] ---
    However, the Mars Knights
    consists of 37 Clans.
[06:41] ---
    There is a possibility that other
    Landing Castles have come down.
[06:45] ---
    Given what we've seen,
    there is a possibility
[06:47] ---
    that their invasion has
    extended to urban areas.
[06:49] ---
    Therefore, we can minimize the
    possibility of enemy encounters
[06:53] ---
    by plotting a route through low
    population density areas,
[06:56] ---
    avoiding radar, and flying
    at low altitude.
[07:00] ---
    Mizusaki.
[07:01] ---
    Ma'am?
[07:02] ---
    Would you like to know
    why you can't get a date?
[07:06] ---
    Possibility, possibility, possibility...
[07:10] ---
    If you do nothing but play it safe,
    you'll never bump into Mr. Right.
[07:15] ---
    I was given to understand that one
    should form a bond first, ma'am.
[07:19] ---
    All right, let's go with your "I want to
    make steady progress towards my goal,
[07:23] ---
    even if means holding my nose"
    sort of operation.
[07:25] ---
    You don't approve?
[07:27] ---
    No, I think it's
    a very simple operation.
[07:38] ---
    She doesn't approve...
[07:46] ---
    Target destroyed.
[07:48] ---
    Okay, simulation complete.
    "Rayet," right?
[07:51] ---
    You've got some skills.
    Gamers are a formidable bunch.
[07:55] ---
    Increase the difficulty.
[07:58] ---
    Maybe we should call it a day.
[08:00] ---
    I'm fine, keep going.
[08:04] ---
    Okay, then. Why don't I throw in
    something we fought recently?
[08:08] ---
    Try this.
[08:09] ---
    Beginning simulation.
[08:15] ---
    Thermal signature detected.
[08:16] ---
    Off my 10 o'clock.
    Almost in effective range.
[08:41] ---
    Don't do that, Rayet.
    The gun barrel will overheat.
[08:50] ---
    Simulation complete.
[08:52] ---
    I'm sorry. I made it too
    hard all of a sudden.
[08:56] ---
    Did it throw you?
[08:58] ---
    Warrant Officer Kaizuka.
[09:00] ---
    Dr. Yagarai.
[09:02] ---
    How is the exoskeleton working?
[09:04] ---
    Wanna arm wrestle?
[09:06] ---
    Thanks, but no.
[09:07] ---
    Actually, would you mind if I borrowed
    your simulator program later?
[09:12] ---
    You joining the fight, Doc?
[09:14] ---
    No, it's not for that.
[09:18] ---
    I need it for treatment.
[09:23] ---
    Damn it...
[09:25] ---
    I can't believe our captain turned out
    to be your kid sister, Humeray.
[09:36] ---
    Probably explains where
    she gets her guts from.
[09:57] ---
    Rayet.
[10:00] ---
    May I join you?
[10:05] ---
    Suit yourself.
[10:09] ---
    Terran food is most delicious. So many
    unusual dishes not found on Vers.
[10:16] ---
    Is that optical camouflage, too?
[10:18] ---
    No, Inaho's friend Nina was kind enough
    to allow me to borrow these.
[10:23] ---
    She thought it might be difficult to
    walk in a cramped ship in that dress.
[10:29] ---
    Isn't she kind?
[10:33] ---
    Highness, this is for you!
[10:36] ---
    How lovely!
    A papercraft Terran bird!
[10:41] ---
    Thank you, I shall treasure it.
[10:44] ---
    That was most thoughtful
    of you, commoner.
[10:47] ---
    When there is peace between
    Earth and Vers,
[10:50] ---
    we shall speak of this to
    His Imperial Majesty, and-
[10:56] ---
    Why?
[10:57] ---
    Why did you reveal your identity?
    Martians are seen as the enemy.
[11:03] ---
    How can you be so
    calm and composed?
[11:06] ---
    Even though you were
    betrayed by Martians...
[11:11] ---
    You're crazy, lady.
[11:12] ---
    Mind your tongue! How dare you say
    such a thing to Her Highness?
[11:16] ---
    You thought they were
    your friends...
[11:19] ---
    Hey, come back here!
[11:22] ---
    This is the problem with Terrans!
[11:28] ---
    How do you feel?
[11:30] ---
    No problem. I'm fine.
[11:33] ---
    I recreated the scene based on
    your descriptions, Lt. Marito.
[11:36] ---
    It ought to be close, but if I got
    something wrong, please tell me.
[11:40] ---
    Is this really going to help?
[11:43] ---
    PTSD...
[11:45] ---
    One treatment for post-traumatic
    stress disorder is to
[11:49] ---
    recreate the incident that caused it
    and to relive it again and again.
[11:54] ---
    Relive a terrifying experience often enough
    and you get acclimated to it, huh?
[11:59] ---
    We'll just have to see.
[12:01] ---
    Let's begin.
[12:04] ---
    Fine, whatever...
[12:07] ---
    All right, here we go.
[12:12] ---
    Oh, come on... Even games are more
    realistic than this these days.
[12:16] ---
    Oh, are they?
    But we aren't playing a game.
[12:19] ---
    Uh, this street is flipped.
[12:22] ---
    I'll fix that for next time.
[12:26] ---
    What's that down there?
[12:28] ---
    That's Humeray, your war buddy.
[12:30] ---
    Give me a break. This blocky guy
    ain't what's bothering me!
[12:35] ---
    Trust me. Just be quiet
    and watch.
[12:38] ---
    Come off it... Are you
    messing with me?
[12:45] ---
    What the hell?! That's-
[12:50] ---
    Marito!
[12:53] ---
    What the hell is that?! Nobody said
    there was something like that here!
[12:56] ---
    Don't be scared!
    We outnumber them!
[12:59] ---
    Platoon Commander to all tanks!
    Piecemeal attack!
[13:04] ---
    What the...?
[13:08] ---
    Marito!
[13:12] ---
    That thing's doing this?
[13:17] ---
    It's flying?!
[13:21] ---
    Our shells, they-
[13:23] ---
    Marito!
[13:23] ---
    Anti-gravity? No...
[13:41] ---
    This tank is a lost cause.
    We're bailing, Humeray!
[13:45] ---
    I can't...
[13:46] ---
    My legs are pinned!
[13:49] ---
    Fire!
[13:50] ---
    Humeray!
[13:51] ---
    Marito! Get me out, Marito!
[13:57] ---
    Marito! Marito!
    Hurry, Marito!
[14:03] ---
    Marito! Shoot me!
[14:07] ---
    Please! Marito!
[14:08] ---
    Hurry! Hurry!
[14:11] ---
    Shoot me! Marito!
[14:49] ---
    Lieutenant! Lt. Marito!
[14:52] ---
    Are you all right, Lieutenant?
[14:56] ---
    Everything you saw
    is in the past.
[14:59] ---
    You're safe now.
    This isn't Tanegashima.
[15:05] ---
    Like hell we are...
    This is a battlefield now, too.
[15:12] ---
    I think that's enough
    for today.
[15:15] ---
    Talk about pathetic... Being scared
    of that blocky thing.
[15:20] ---
    No, that isn't what
    you are afraid of.
[15:26] ---
    It's the fact that you
    killed your friend.
[15:48] ---
    This is crazy, this is crazy,
    this is crazy...
[15:54] ---
    This is so crazy!
[15:58] ---
    Why did she reveal her identity?
    Why is she so calm?
[16:05] ---
    Why? Why? Why?
[16:13] ---
    Why... is she...
[16:20] ---
    Why... am I...
[16:36] ---
    What is the matter?
    Not hungry?
[16:39] ---
    Do not worry,
    it is not poisoned.
[16:42] ---
    Had I wished to kill you,
    I would have done so long ago.
[16:48] ---
    Milord...
[16:50] ---
    Yes?
[16:51] ---
    Why are you so determined
    to fight Earth?
[16:54] ---
    It is a lord's duty to his vassals
    to fight to expand his territory.
[17:01] ---
    Just for that?
[17:03] ---
    It is that great a cause.
[17:06] ---
    These are creatures that fly
    through the air, I understand.
[17:09] ---
    Yes, Milord.
[17:10] ---
    Oh, actually, this type
    of bird is flightless.
[17:14] ---
    Unimaginable luxury to
    the people of Vers,
[17:17] ---
    who subsist on
    chlorella and krill.
[17:20] ---
    I feel nothing but indignation
    towards the Terrans who
[17:23] ---
    so offhandedly sent them
    as relief supplies.
[17:29] ---
    This is not a luxury item.
[17:32] ---
    It is processed food tailored for
    space transport and preservation.
[17:35] ---
    Culture is the sole
    domain of Earth,
[17:37] ---
    blessed with abundant water and air,
     overflowing with countless living creatures.
[17:42] ---
    On Father Vers, although technology
    is advanced thanks to Aldnoah,
[17:46] ---
    culture has not
    developed at all.
[17:49] ---
    There is no reason that we should not seize
    this world and its plentiful resources.
[17:53] ---
    But even so, surely there is no need
    to exploit Princess Asseylum to-
[17:57] ---
    It is too late.
    The war has already begun.
[18:01] ---
    Her Highness will be
    a human sacrifice.
[18:04] ---
    She is innocent!
[18:05] ---
    She is royalty.
    Her very lineage is her crime.
[18:10] ---
    Fifteen years ago, the royal family whipped the
    knights into a frenzy and sent them against Earth.
[18:15] ---
    For that, I will make them pay
    with their own flesh and blood.
[18:24] ---
    Please don't kill her.
[18:26] ---
    We are a people oppressed under a feudal
    system centered around Aldnoah.
[18:31] ---
    Our impoverished, shabby country looks with
    scorn upon a world with a vast history.
[18:36] ---
    Such nonsense...
[18:39] ---
    It is only natural that Vers, where the masses
    had been controlled by saying,
[18:42] ---
    "Be envious of Earth, be jealous
    of Earth, despise Earth,"
[18:46] ---
    is so corrupt that only through invading
    Earth can its great cause be maintained.
[18:52] ---
    Your injuries attest
    to that all too well.
[18:57] ---
    The royal family chose war.
    To maintain order on Vers.
[19:02] ---
    And then... Heaven's Fall came about
    as a result of that war,
[19:07] ---
    and my betrothed, Orlane,
    lost her life!
[19:18] ---
    This war is my vengeance.
[19:22] ---
    This war is my appointed task.
[19:31] ---
    Defy me, and I will show you no mercy. Even if
    you are the son of the man I owe my life to.
[19:43] ---
    I was worried that they would be more hostile
    towards us, but it was for nothing.
[19:47] ---
    Yes, I am relieved that the
    people of Earth are so kind.
[19:50] ---
    They must understand that you are not
    their enemy, but rather a victim.
[19:54] ---
    Deep down, we are all
    fellow human beings.
[19:57] ---
    Though our places of birth may differ,
    we are capable of mutual understanding.
[20:00] ---
    Some of them are rude
    and strange, though...
[20:03] ---
    Oh, my apologies!
    I forgot your new clothing!
[20:07] ---
    I'll go fetch it at once!
[20:39] ---
    Oh, that was fast, Eddelri...ttsuo?
[21:26] ---
    Shouldn't you be
    with Seylum?
[21:28] ---
    Her name is not "Seylum"!
    It is Her Royal Highness Asseylum!
[21:33] ---
    Aldnoah drive, output falling!
[21:35] ---
    Switch to auxiliary power!
[21:37] ---
    Unable to maintain altitude!
[21:38] ---
    Rate of descent increasing!
    Impact in 30 seconds!
[21:41] ---
    All hands, brace for impact!
