**[00:07] ---**
What did you think,
Second Lieutenant Louis?
**[00:10] ---**
Did the captain act suspiciously
during the op?
**[00:14] ---**
No, not really...
**[00:16] ---**
He seemed to be a little more
on the defensive, but...
**[00:19] ---**
Just don't get ahead of yourself too much.
**[00:22] ---**
Pike Davis' whereabouts
are still unknown, as well.
**[00:25] ---**
You must be patient.
**[00:28] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[00:43] ---**
In the wake of Congressman
Roy Walker's assassination attempt,
**[00:48] ---**
the NAC will be launching a large-scale
attack on the Hokuriku region.
**[00:52] ---**
So far, so good for Deputy Commander
Spears and Captain Watt, I suppose.
**[00:58] ---**
I shall be very busy.
**[01:03] ---**
Rats?
**[01:04] ---**
It seems I have a trespasser
looking into my location.
**[01:32] ---**
"AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline"
**[02:55] ---**
We're glad you're safe,
Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy.
**[02:58] ---**
You too, Amou.
**[02:59] ---**
Unfortunately, we cannot
celebrate just yet...
**[03:03] ---**
Misuzu and Gashin
have just arrived, as well.
**[03:09] ---**
Maki Misuzu and Tezuka Gashin,
reporting for duty.
**[03:18] ---**
May I have a moment,
Lieutenant Colonel Zelenoy?
**[03:21] ---**
Of course.
**[03:22] ---**
You, too, Misuzu.
**[03:24] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:25] ---**
You two must be tired. Get some rest.
**[03:30] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[03:31] ---**
Hey, give me a hand.
**[03:33] ---**
No, not that one.
**[03:34] ---**
--Hey, thanks.
--Be careful.
**[03:37] ---**
Everyone's carrying on like usual.
**[03:40] ---**
Of course, they are. We don't know when
the North American military will attack.
**[03:44] ---**
I'm sure they're keeping
their emotions bottled up...
**[03:48] ---**
Just like I am.
**[03:52] ---**
You know, back there, I couldn't cry.
**[04:00] ---**
Don't get me wrong. I was shocked,
just like that time with you, Amou.
**[04:04] ---**
But there was a part of me that was calm.
**[04:08] ---**
My thoughts were running
all over the place,
**[04:10] ---**
but it was like another
part of me was watching
**[04:15] ---**
and thinking "I have to protect them.
I have to defeat the enemies."
**[04:27] ---**
I pushed Mr. Masaki's death
to the corner of my mind...
**[04:32] ---**
How could I?!
**[04:36] ---**
Shion...
**[04:38] ---**
Mr. Masaki would've kicked our butts
if we lost it during battle.
**[04:44] ---**
He would've said,
"Now's not the time! Fight back!"
**[04:49] ---**
We can grieve after the dust settles.
**[04:52] ---**
So you did the right thing.
**[05:11] ---**
With this incident, the NAC
has an excuse to fight us now.
**[05:16] ---**
I have no doubt they'll launch
a large-scale attack on us next time.
**[05:20] ---**
I agree.
**[05:21] ---**
We'll request reinforcements.
**[05:24] ---**
As much as I hate to
play into the enemy's hands...
**[05:27] ---**
Yes...
**[05:28] ---**
They'll likely deploy a unit
with Ghost installed,
**[05:30] ---**
as well as units with
tactical AIs based off of Ghost.
**[05:35] ---**
AMAIM with Ghost will be a pain.
**[05:38] ---**
That AMAIM, huh?
**[05:40] ---**
You know it?
**[05:41] ---**
Yes... I've fought it before.
**[05:44] ---**
I've asked Misuzu to work on AI
improvements to level the playing field.
**[05:48] ---**
I'll send you the combat data
from my battle.
**[05:51] ---**
Thank you!
**[05:52] ---**
Of course. We're on the same team,
fighting the same threat.
**[06:14] ---**
Thank you for coming all the way
down here, Commander in Chief Freeman.
**[06:18] ---**
It wasn't that long of a flight.
**[06:21] ---**
Anyway, I reviewed the data of
the AMAIM with Ghost you had installed.
**[06:28] ---**
Not bad.
**[06:31] ---**
The development of the new tactical AI
is coming along as well.
**[06:36] ---**
I look forward to its completion.
**[06:39] ---**
Yes... You'll be seeing them soon.
**[06:54] ---**
Captain.
**[06:56] ---**
U-Um, we can do that...
**[06:59] ---**
No, I want to do it. Let me do it.
**[07:07] ---**
I understand. I'll leave you to it then.
**[07:14] ---**
"Masaki"
**[07:20] ---**
Is that Masaki's belongings?
**[07:25] ---**
If it's all right,
could you add this, too?
**[07:27] ---**
I heard it was his favorite...
**[07:30] ---**
Sweet olives...?
**[07:32] ---**
They're not in season...
It must've been hard to find.
**[07:57] ---**
Pike Davis?
**[08:11] ---**
Wh-Who are you people?!
**[08:25] ---**
Hey, bring the cables over here!
**[08:28] ---**
Chief's got her hands full
with AI development!
**[08:30] ---**
That means we have to step up
and do a thorough job!
**[08:33] ---**
Right!
**[08:34] ---**
Don't worry! We'll ask Chief
to check our work if we're unsure!
**[08:40] ---**
He just ruined the moment...
**[08:49] ---**
Hello, this is Maki.
**[08:51] ---**
I'm sorry to bother you,
but do you have a moment?
**[08:56] ---**
You want ARES' help?
**[08:58] ---**
I was hoping they'd join us
in the upcoming battle.
**[09:03] ---**
Where are they now?
**[09:05] ---**
Our contract expired a while ago,
so I'm not sure...
**[09:11] ---**
What? Right now?
**[09:12] ---**
I'm sorry. There's somewhere I have to be.
**[09:16] ---**
Of course, I'll pay the fee
for breaking the contract...
**[09:19] ---**
That's fine, but where are you going?
**[09:23] ---**
I need to set some things right.
**[09:29] ---**
I see. All right, then.
**[09:32] ---**
Would you be able to provide me with
their contact info so I can contact them?
**[09:36] ---**
Yes, I'll send it to you via email later.
**[09:40] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:54] ---**
We're in position!
**[09:55] ---**
Roger that. Everyone, prepare for combat.
**[09:57] ---**
Locks deactivated.
Are we sure he's in there?
**[10:01] ---**
We've checked all the cameras.
He hasn't moved in the last six hours.
**[10:05] ---**
Move in!
**[10:11] ---**
Clear!
**[10:20] ---**
Clear!
**[10:34] ---**
It's so easy to control
security camera feeds.
**[10:38] ---**
Surely you must know that?
**[10:57] ---**
Captain.
**[10:59] ---**
An explosion?
**[11:01] ---**
According to the Intelligence Agency,
we don't know who owned that room.
**[11:05] ---**
The bomb type suggests
the work of a professional.
**[11:09] ---**
What's he got himself into?
**[11:14] ---**
Where is he now?
**[11:15] ---**
Unknown. Since none of
the bodies match his description,
**[11:21] ---**
we believe he escaped.
**[11:27] ---**
I'm with the Public Safety Department.
**[11:30] ---**
We're going after Brad Watt.
**[11:32] ---**
He's a cunning man.
**[11:34] ---**
We don't want to spook him,
so you need to stop snooping around.
**[11:40] ---**
One wrong move,
and we'll charge you as well.
**[11:44] ---**
You've been warned.
**[11:53] ---**
Have you heard that
the Commander in Chief has arrived?
**[11:57] ---**
This is really happening.
**[11:59] ---**
We're going to be busy. Let's get ready.
**[12:05] ---**
I trust you've read through the files?
**[12:09] ---**
Primary witnesses to Congressman
Roy Walker's sniper incident have escaped,
**[12:13] ---**
exchanging fire with our pursuit group.
**[12:17] ---**
These terrorists claiming to be New Japan
**[12:20] ---**
have occupied the Hokuriku region,
gathering forces there.
**[12:24] ---**
We cannot allow this.
**[12:26] ---**
The Confederation has
given us the green light.
**[12:29] ---**
We will launch a large-scale attack
to liberate the Hokuriku region.
**[12:41] ---**
Here in Yokosuka harbor, a plethora of
AMAIMs and combat vehicles are being sent
**[12:45] ---**
from the North Pacific North American
military base to join this military operation.
**[12:49] ---**
The South Pacific and
the Indian Ocean fleets
**[12:53] ---**
are also deploying their troops.
**[12:57] ---**
Commander in Chief Freeman is--
**[12:59] ---**
This is it.
**[13:01] ---**
So far, things are going as expected.
**[13:03] ---**
The second batch of troops from our
surface fleet will be here in three hours.
**[13:08] ---**
Same goes for us.
**[13:09] ---**
Troops are in position
near the northeastern border
**[13:13] ---**
to open a supply route.
**[13:15] ---**
We're quickly arranging
the troops that have arrived.
**[13:18] ---**
We should be done by 1800.
**[13:29] ---**
I never imagined
a day like this would come.
**[13:31] ---**
Me either.
**[13:32] ---**
We, the New Japan military--
**[13:36] ---**
That's what I'd like to call ourselves,
if that's okay?
**[13:40] ---**
I have no objection.
**[13:42] ---**
No issues here.
**[13:44] ---**
We, the New Japan military,
are just a ragtag team.
**[13:47] ---**
At least, that's how
the North American military sees us.
**[13:50] ---**
Let's prove them wrong.
**[13:57] ---**
Are they still inside the simulation?
**[14:00] ---**
Just let them be.
**[14:03] ---**
They're risking their lives
a lot more than we are.
**[14:15] ---**
Not bad.
**[14:17] ---**
Yeah, but I still want to
improve a little more.
**[14:20] ---**
You gain experience by practicing more,
thereby improving your accuracy.
**[14:24] ---**
In live combat, there'll always be
uncertainties, but we've got you covered.
**[14:29] ---**
All the more reason for us
to improve. Let's keep at it!
**[14:32] ---**
There's no guarantee
our hard work will pay off,
**[14:35] ---**
but that's no excuse to not try.
**[14:38] ---**
Yup, you're right.
**[14:40] ---**
You know the saying,
"do your best and leave the rest to fate."
**[14:43] ---**
That's it!
**[14:44] ---**
Hear me out.
**[14:46] ---**
We may not be able to control fate,
but we can try improving our luck!
**[14:46] ---**
"Hachiman Shrine"
**[14:52] ---**
Ooh, sweet dumplings!
**[14:52] ---**
"Candy Apple" "Skewered Chicken"
"Sweet Dumplings"
**[14:53] ---**
"Bubble Tea" "Octopus Balls"
**[14:54] ---**
Octopus balls!
**[14:57] ---**
They all look so delicious!
**[15:00] ---**
Well, this got her spirit up.
**[15:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:03] ---**
Ohh.
**[15:05] ---**
So this is the torii gate. This is my
first time getting to actually see one.
**[15:20] ---**
It smells like a shrine.
**[15:21] ---**
This is kind of comforting.
**[15:23] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:27] ---**
Hey, look, look! It's me!
**[15:29] ---**
Hmm... You don't really look like them.
**[15:32] ---**
Yes, I do! I look *exactly* like them!
**[15:35] ---**
I thought you were a racoon.
**[15:36] ---**
--Huh?!
--What?!
**[15:38] ---**
Now, now...
**[15:39] ---**
"Fortune Slip"
**[15:41] ---**
Hey, my fortune is "great blessing."
**[15:42] ---**
That's great! Way to go, my princess!
**[15:45] ---**
I got "great blessing," too.
**[15:46] ---**
Things are looking good.
**[15:48] ---**
Mine is "small blessing."
Not bad but not that good...
**[15:51] ---**
What are you talking about?
It just means things are gonna look up!
**[16:15] ---**
How's it going, Charlie?
**[16:16] ---**
I've incorporated all the combat data.
**[16:19] ---**
It's going through it right now.
**[16:21] ---**
I've completely deleted all of
Ghost's backup, as requested.
**[16:26] ---**
The only copy is installed on that unit.
**[16:28] ---**
Yes, thank you.
**[16:33] ---**
This is Brad.
**[16:34] ---**
This is Raymond. We have the dates
for our next mission.
**[16:38] ---**
I see.
**[16:48] ---**
We have intel that the NAC is assembling
troops at their base near Hokuriku.
**[16:54] ---**
By dawn tomorrow,
they'll be ready to deploy.
**[16:57] ---**
Tomorrow, huh?
**[16:59] ---**
According to our PFP computer,
Murakumo, our odds of winning are 45%.
**[17:05] ---**
It's far lower than expected,
and we're at a disadvantage.
**[17:09] ---**
This is the trend over time.
**[17:13] ---**
Our odds of winning decreases
as the time goes by.
**[17:16] ---**
They have slightly more resources than us,
**[17:19] ---**
but it isn't only because of
a difference in numbers.
**[17:22] ---**
It also means their tactical AI units
shouldn't be underestimated.
**[17:28] ---**
However, this is just a forecast.
**[17:30] ---**
That's right. It's up to
us commanders to change that.
**[17:35] ---**
How's the tactical AI situation
on our side looking?
**[17:38] ---**
Misuzu has completed
the early version of it,
**[17:41] ---**
and has started the installation process.
**[17:45] ---**
She said she'll collect all data
from past and present combat,
**[17:49] ---**
giving it another update.
**[17:51] ---**
Understood.
**[17:52] ---**
How does the saying go?
"Different approach, excellent method,
**[17:55] ---**
the result crowns the work"?
**[17:58] ---**
I'm impressed, although the saying
goes a little different.
**[18:02] ---**
Is that so? Well, no matter.
**[18:08] ---**
Tomorrow's going to be a long day.
**[18:23] ---**
We're finally doing this tomorrow.
**[18:25] ---**
Yup.
**[18:30] ---**
What do you wanna do after we beat
the North American army and come back?
**[18:34] ---**
Huh? Hmm... I can't think of anything.
**[18:39] ---**
What about you, Gai?
**[18:40] ---**
First, I gotta have
that drink with Alexei.
**[18:43] ---**
I'm an AI of my word!
**[18:47] ---**
I'll study up on MR technology.
**[18:51] ---**
I wanna travel, too!
Travel all over Japan, no, the world!
**[18:56] ---**
We promised, remember?
**[18:57] ---**
Our great adventure.
**[18:58] ---**
Yup!
**[19:00] ---**
But, Gai, you can see the world digitally.
**[19:03] ---**
Oh, you just don't get it!
**[19:05] ---**
The point is that we go together!
**[19:12] ---**
Right. Then, where do you
want to go to the most?
**[19:15] ---**
Let's see... First, the North Pole.
**[19:18] ---**
That's far.
**[19:19] ---**
It'll be a piece of cake!
Just leave it to me!
**[19:22] ---**
Seriously?
**[19:23] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:27] ---**
This is the most recent
tactical AI based off of Ghost.
**[19:32] ---**
These units are going to be
completely different.
**[19:48] ---**
I'm being transferred? Now?
**[19:50] ---**
"As of today, you are being transferred
to an independent force"?
**[19:55] ---**
Why? Now, of all times?
**[19:59] ---**
Brave and loyal soldiers
of the North American military.
**[20:03] ---**
The time has come for a decisive battle.
**[20:05] ---**
We, the Confederation, have been fighting
hard to protect the autonomy of Japan,
**[20:09] ---**
and we must protect it again
from other nations and terrorists!
**[20:14] ---**
First of all, I'd like to extend
my gratitude to everyone here today.
**[20:19] ---**
Because of you, we have gotten this close
to realizing our vision of New Japan.
**[20:25] ---**
This battle marks our first obstacle
in founding New Japan.
**[20:32] ---**
The NJCO's blatant lie of peace
and their use of violence are,
**[20:37] ---**
without doubt, acts of aggression
that disrupt world peace.
**[20:42] ---**
But we can... no, we're the only ones
who can stop them.
**[20:48] ---**
Each one of you has the strength.
**[20:52] ---**
However, we're currently weak.
**[20:56] ---**
We must ask for your help.
**[21:00] ---**
Yesterday, we were pointing
our guns at each other.
**[21:04] ---**
But today, we are one army.
**[21:07] ---**
We are comrades
who have each other's backs.
**[21:10] ---**
In Japan, we call this "*enishi*,"
a destined encounter.
**[21:14] ---**
Become heroes. Prove to them
that justice is on our side!
**[21:21] ---**
We're counting on you to give it your all!
**[21:24] ---**
Today, we stand here, side by side.
**[21:27] ---**
Who do you see next to you?
**[21:35] ---**
I hope for this friendship
to last forever,
**[21:39] ---**
for the day when we can smile from
the bottom of our hearts, together.
**[21:46] ---**
Godspeed.

"Next on *AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline*"
**[23:51] ---**
It's finally starting...
**[23:52] ---**
Are you nervous, Amou?
**[23:54] ---**
Yeah, I am. My hands are shaking.
**[23:57] ---**
Don't worry, I'll do my best
to support you!
**[24:01] ---**
Finally, our time has come, Ghost!

Let's show them what we
can do on the battlefield!
