SIGN    Devotion of Self
[00:49] G
    Iona.
[00:54] G
    Are you all right?
[00:58] I
    Full burst mode...
[01:01] I
    had lowered sonar sensitivity
     and delayed my response.
[01:05] I
    I'm sorry.
[01:06] G
    First, confirm the extent of the
    damage, and conduct repairs.
[01:10] G
    Prioritize repair of
     navigation-critical elements.
[01:13] I
    Understood.
[01:18] I
    Initiating autonomic repair program.
[01:20] I
    Commencing regeneration of
    damaged parts using nanomaterials.
[01:26] G
    What's the matter?
[01:27] I
    Autonomic repair program
    functionality is greatly reduced.
[01:31] I
    Currently operating at 9.1 percent.
[01:33] I
    Water intrusion points increasing.
[01:38] G
    The repair program is non-functional?
[01:41] I
    There is evidence that
    the initialization command
[01:43] I
    used by the nanomaterials comprising
    my structure has been overwritten.
[01:46] G
    What does that mean?
[01:48] I
    A subset of my nanomaterials is
    no longer accepting my commands.
[01:53] I
    The only ones capable of such an attack are...
[01:57] 400
    In the preceding attack,
[01:59] 400
    we gained control of
    the subset of nanomaterials
[02:02] 400
    comprising 401's exterior hull.
[02:05] 402
    Re-initialization of nanomaterials:
[02:08] 402
    A tactic available only
     to us, sister ships to 401,
[02:11] 402
    built using the same specifications.
[02:14] 400
    401 has now lost the
    ability to defend herself
[02:18] 400
    against the increasing water pressure.
[02:20] 402
    We can just let things take their course.
[02:23] 400
    The probability that 401 will be
     able to resurface is zero.
SIGN    - Above Beaton Seamount, Pacific Ocean -
[02:30] Kiri
    We still haven't found 401?
[02:33] Sou
    No visual of her in the surrounding waters.
[02:35] Sou
    The rendezvous point is supposed
    to be around here, but...
[02:39] Kyo
    What's going on?
[02:41] Kyo
    I thought they'd succeeded
    in getting away from Kongou.
[02:44] Kiri
    That's what we thought.
[02:46] Shizuka
    Takao's been sending out constant call signals,
[02:49] Shizuka
    but there's been no response yet.
[02:51] Iori
    Hey...
[02:52] Iori
    Iona and Gunzou couldn't have
    been taken down... right?
[02:58] Makie
    Haruharu,
[02:59] Makie
    how's it looking there?
[03:02] H
    Not good.
[03:04] H
    Due to interactions between supergravity
     cannons in the previous fight,
[03:08] H
    the spatial phase in the area
    has become extremely unstable.
[03:13] Hyu
    That means we can't even use
    the concept comm system!
[03:16] Hyu
    Jeez, this is all because someone had to
[03:18] ---
    fire without thinking first!
[03:20] Takao
    What choice did I have?
[03:21] Takao
    If I hadn't fired, you'd be dead now!
[03:25] Hyu
    I was against the plan to use
    Sister Iona as bait in the first place!
[03:30] Takao
    Forget her!
[03:32] Hyu
    Hey! What nonsense are you spouting?!
[03:34] H
    We've already lost Maya
     and Kongou's signature.
[03:37] HT
    Huh?
[03:38] H
    I suggest that we start by making our
[03:40] ---
    way to the area where we
    lost 401's signature.
[03:43] Takao
    You're right.
[03:45] Takao
    Understood.
[03:58] Takao
    Chihaya... Gunzou...
[04:13] Kongou
    Why did you sink 401 without permission?
[04:16] 402
    "Without permission"?
[04:18] 402
    Incomprehensible.
[04:19] 402
    The sinking of 401 is the
    will of the Fog as a whole.
[04:23] Kongou
    But I was the one engaging her in combat.
[04:27] 400
    401 used full burst mode.
[04:30] 400
    It was after she had exited
    your detection range.
[04:35] Kongou
    Why were you in that
     area in the first place?
[04:39] Kongou
    I had received no such reports.
[04:40] 400
    We were surveilling you.
[04:43] 402
    There was a possibility that
     you would side with 401,
[04:46] 402
    like Takao and the others.
[04:48] Kongou
    You thought I would team up
    with 401 like they did?
[04:54] 400
    We believed it to be a possibility.
[04:55] 400
    In fact, you are already obsessed with
     401 more than is necessary.
[05:00] Kongou
    I am?
[05:02] 402
    This concludes our report.
[05:04] 402
    Resume your patrol,
[05:06] 402
    Kongou.
[05:09] Kongou
    Obsessed?
[05:13] Kongou
    No.
[05:14] Kongou
    I only wish to correct those
     who defy the Admirality Code...
[05:17] Maya
    Don't look so glum, Kongou.
[05:21] Kongou
    Maya...
[05:21] Maya
    I'm happy for you.
[05:23] Maya
    You won't have to worry about 401 anymore.
[05:27] Kongou
    That's...
[05:28] Maya
    You just need to abide by the Admirality Code,
[05:31] ---
    as you've always been.
[05:34] Kongou
    I see.
[05:37] Kongou
    I guess you're right.
[05:39] Maya
    Yeah, I'm right.
SIGN    - Izu-Ogasawara Waters -
[05:50] Hyu
    Completed scan of current area
    to depth of one thousand meters.
[05:56] Takao
    No sign of 401.
[06:00] H
    It seems reasonable to assume
[06:02] H
    that she has been attacked by
    someone other than Kongou and Maya.
[06:06] Kiri
    This is a real problem.
[06:08] Kiri
    The ocean trench in this area can
[06:09] ---
    reach depths of nine thousand meters.
[06:11] Kiri
    If she sunk that far,
    there's no hope of finding her.
[06:14] Takao
    But we have to try!
[06:22] Hyu
    Hey, what do you think you're doing?!
[06:24] Takao
    What else?
[06:26] Takao
    I'm going under to look for her myself!
[06:28] Hyu
    Don't be so reckless!
[06:30] Hyu
    The ones who attacked Sister Iona
    may be in hiding somewhere!
[06:47] Hyu
    Given no signs of enemy
     ships on the surface,
[06:49] Hyu
    the enemy is probably a submarine.
[06:51] Hyu
    A heavy cruiser like you would be
    at a disadvantage underwater.
[06:55] Takao
    Why...
[06:57] Takao
    Why are you acting like everything's okay?!
[07:00] Takao
    Where's that "Sister Iona!" stuff
    you're always carrying on about?
[07:05] Hyu
    Of course I'm not okay.
[07:07] Hyu
    But Sister Iona asked me
     to take care of things.
[07:11] Hyu
    In the worst case, I have
    to carry on her wishes.
[07:18] Takao
    Okay.
[07:19] Takao
    Hyuuga, lend me that thing.
[07:24] Hyu
    Takao, are you...
[07:26] Takao
    I won't let you stop me.
[07:27] Takao
    I'll go by myself if I have to.
[07:29] Takao
    The Captain is... Gunzou is waiting.
[07:38] I
    The bulkheads of 14 additional
    sectors have been breached.
[07:41] I
    Flooding in progress.
[07:42] G
    Again...
[07:44] G
    Iona, purge the flooded sectors.
[07:49] G
    What's the matter?
[07:50] I
    The sectors include the
[07:52] ---
    oxygen renewal system
    for the entire vessel.
[07:54] G
    It doesn't matter.
[07:56] G
    Purge it.
[07:57] G
    Use the Klein Field to shield
    the minimum of sectors
[08:00] G
    necessary to sustain the vessel's operations.
[08:02] I
    Gunzou!
[08:04] G
    Do it, Iona.
[08:08] I
    Understood.
[08:17] G
    Any luck reaching Takao and the others?
[08:19] I
    I am as yet unable to access the shared domain.
[08:22] I
    Unable to use concept comm system.
[08:25] G
    I see.
[08:26] I
    The most likely cause is
    spatial anomalies created by
[08:30] ---
    interactions between supergravity cannons.
[08:32] G
    All right.
[08:34] G
    Keep broadcasting distress signals
     via normal channels for now.
[08:38] I
    Understood.
[08:39] G
    Well, then...
[08:41] G
    I guess we can only wait now.
[08:47] G
    I'm sorry.
[08:48] G
    Without Sou and the others around,
[08:50] G
    I have to depend on you for everything.
[08:53] I
    It's not a problem.
[08:54] I
    I am capable of unmanned navigation.
[08:57] G
    That's right...
[09:00] G
    At first, it was just the
    two of us, you and me.
[09:04] G
    Then Sou and the others joined...
[09:06] G
    Followed by Haruna's group,
    Takao, and even Hyuuga.
[09:10] G
    Before I knew it,
    we'd become a big group.
[09:14] I
    Yeah.
[09:15] G
    Come to think of it,
    that was how it all began.
[09:19] G
    I never would've predicted that you
[09:21] ---
    would enter our academy
    as a transfer student.
[09:24] I
    It was necessary to
    attract minimal attention
[09:25] I
    while making contact with you.
[09:28] G
    Well, you attracted a lot
    of attention, actually.
[09:30] I
    I won't deny that the data
    I had gathered was lacking.
[09:33] I
    I will do better next time.
[09:36] G
    When would "next time" be?
[09:41] I
    Gunzou?
[09:43] G
    Oh, sorry.
[09:45] G
    It's a bit chilly.
[09:52] I
    Temperature within vessel
    has dropped substantially.
[09:55] I
    Will adjust cabin temperatures right away.
[09:57] G
    No, we should avoid energy
    consumption as much as possible.
[10:10] G
    Iona?
[10:13] I
    It is possible for me to
    simulate metabolic processes
[10:16] I
    and raise my surface body temperature.
[10:22] I
    But...
[10:27] G
    You're right.
[10:28] G
    You should conserve energy.
[10:31] G
    Can you bring a blanket
    from the first aid kit?
[10:44] G
    You've changed a lot, Iona.
[10:47] I
    I am the same entity as
    when I first met you.
[10:51] I
    I have not upgraded my hardware.
[10:54] G
    That's not what I mean...
[10:59] G
    Never mind.
[11:01] G
    You're just you.
[11:04] G
    Yeah.
[11:05] I
    Gunzou?
[11:13] I
    Gunzou?
[11:15] G
    Oh, sorry.
[11:20] G
    I spaced out for a bit there.
[11:25] I
    Body temperature dropping,
[11:26] I
    heart rate rising.
[11:28] G
    I'm okay.
[11:29] G
    I'm okay, Iona.
[11:32] I
    Your breathing is labored...
[11:34] I
    Breathing...
[11:37] I
    Carbon dioxide levels within vessel
    have increased significantly.
[11:40] I
    If current conditions persist,
[11:42] I
    it will become difficult to sustain life.
[12:09] G
    Don't, Iona.
[12:12] G
    I told you to refrain... from
    unnecessary energy consumption.
[12:16] I
    But...
[12:17] G
    It's all right.
[12:19] G
    If I stay still,
[12:20] G
    I can keep going for a while longer.
[12:45] I
    Gunzou...
[12:48] G
    What?
[12:50] I
    I understand now
[12:51] I
    what you meant when
     you said I've changed.
[12:56] I
    Just now,
[12:58] I
    I ran simulations for various means
    of maintaining this vessel.
[13:02] I
    I have concluded that the best course
[13:05] ---
    of action is to abandon you now.
[13:09] G
    I'm not surprised...
[13:13] G
    Since the day
[13:14] G
    I went out to sea with you,
    I'd made up my mind.
[13:20] G
    I'd do anything...
[13:25] G
    if I could save this dying world.
[13:28] I
    Gunzou...
[13:29] G
    Listen, Iona.
[13:31] G
    Forget about me.
[13:33] G
    Deliver the vibration warhead
[13:35] G
    to the United States, without fail.
[13:37] G
    If you do, I'm sure the world will change.
[13:44] I
    My former self would have done
    so without any hesitation.
[13:49] I
    There was no reason not to.
[13:52] I
    And yet, I...
[13:57] I
    cannot possibly abandon you.
[14:06] H
    I received a distress signal 186 seconds ago
[14:09] H
    that, though faint,
    was presumably sent by 401.
[14:13] Hyu
    Based on the circumstances,
    it would be reasonable to infer
[14:16] Hyu
    that Sister Iona has lost the majority
    of her functions as a submarine.
[14:20] Takao
    I see.
[14:22] Hyu
    Do you really understand what that means?
[14:25] Hyu
    It means Chihaya Gunzou is already...
[14:28] Takao
    I know.
[14:30] Takao
    But if there still is even the
    slightest possibility he lives,
[14:34] Takao
    I will go.
[14:36] Takao
    Gunzou... my captain.
[14:58] G
    Iona...
[15:01] I
    Gunzou?
[15:06] G
    Cut all... life support functions.
[15:13] G
    Focus remaining resources...
    on protecting the vessel's core functions.
[15:20] I
    Is that a direct order?
[15:24] G
    Yes...
[15:26] I
    I...
[15:28] G
    Live.
[15:29] G
    Io...na...
[15:41] I
    Gunzou...
[15:44] I
    Gunzou?
[15:46] I
    Gunzou, wake up.
[15:51] I
    Gunzou.
[15:55] I
    Gun...zou...
[16:15] I
    No...
[16:17] I
    I...
[16:19] I
    I don't want to be... all alone.
[16:24] I
    Gunzou!
[16:35] Takao
    Where?
[16:36] Takao
    Where are you?
[16:38] Takao
    Respond, 401!
[16:52] Takao
    Found you!
[17:26] Takao
    Chihaya... Gunzou!
[17:37] Takao
    Jeez...
[17:39] Takao
    Really, you're such a...
[17:43] Takao
    There's no place for me at all.
[18:29] Kyo
    Wh-What the?
[18:49] Hyu
    Sacrificing oneself to save another.
[18:54] Hyu
    That course of action is normally
    unthinkable to the Fog.
[18:58] Hyu
    I never imagined that Sister Iona
    would make that choice,
[19:02] Hyu
    nor you, either...
[19:06] Hyu
    It is possible to restore Sister Iona
[19:09] Hyu
    using the nanomaterials that comprise you.
[19:12] Hyu
    But that means you will
     lose your own body.
[19:17] Hyu
    Now that we have lost our stock
    of nanomaterials on Iwoto,
[19:20] Hyu
    it will be pretty much
    impossible to restore you.
[19:23] Takao
    You're probably right.
[19:25] Hyu
    Are you okay with that?
[19:27] Takao
    If that's what the Captain...
[19:30] ---
    what Chihaya Gunzou wishes.
[20:11] Shizuka
    So pretty.
[20:23] I
    I...
[20:46] I
    He's... alive.
[21:05] Maya
    Kongou?
[21:20] 400
    401 has merged with Takao,
    and regained her functions.
[21:24] 400
    She has surfaced.
[21:26] Kongou
    What?
[21:27] 402
    This surpasses logic.
[21:29] 402
    It must be corrected immediately.
[21:32] Kongou
    I see, so 401...
[21:35] Kongou
    I see...
[21:37] Kongou
    This is how it should be.
[21:39] Kongou
    Let's go, Maya!
[21:41] Kongou
    I will take down 401 by my
    own hand this time for sure!
[21:46] 400
    You cannot do that.
[21:48] 400
    In accordance with the Admirality Code, Kongou,
[21:51] 400
    you have been relieved of
    your post as the flagship
[21:54] ---
    of Eastern Patrol Fleet One.
[21:56] Kongou
    What... did you say?
[21:58] 402
    Your thought algorithms are
    exhibiting severe impairment.
[22:03] 402
    At this point in time,
[22:04] 402
    you are incapable of making sound
    decisions as a fleet flagship.
[22:08] 400
    We will assume responsibility
    for dealing with 401.
[22:13] 400
    Remain on standby until further orders.
[22:17] Kongou
    I cannot accept.
[22:18] 402
    What?
[22:20] Kongou
    I cannot accept that.
[22:23] Kongou
    I am the one who will sink 401,
[22:27] Kongou
    not you two!
[22:28] 400
    So you have changed,
     just as we'd feared.
[22:32] 402
    We have determined that those statements
[22:35] ---
    clearly deviate from the Admirality Code.
[22:37] Kongou
    N-No! I...
[22:39] 400
    You will be detained.
[22:41] 402
    Resistance is futile.
[22:45] Kongou
    No...
[22:47] Kongou
    No!
[22:48] Kongou
    R-Right, Maya!
[22:50] Kongou
    You understand, don't you?
[22:52] Kongou
    I would never deviate...
[22:54] Maya
    Yeah.
[22:54] Maya
    It'll be all right, Kongou.
[22:56] Maya
    Maya...
[22:57] Maya
    You just need to stop worrying
[22:59] Maya
    and abide by the Admirality Code.
[23:03] Kongou
    Yes, that's right.
[23:05] Kongou
    I—
[23:05] Maya
    Yeah.
[23:06] Maya
    It'll be all right, Kongou.
[23:08] Maya
    You just need to stop worrying
[23:10] Maya
    and abide by the Admirality Code.
[23:13] Kongou
    Maya?
[23:14] Maya
    Yeah.
[23:15] Maya
    It'll be all right, Kongou.
[23:16] Kongou
    What are you saying?
[23:18] Kongou
    Maya?
[23:18] Maya
    You just need to stop worrying
[23:20] Maya
    and abide by the Admirality Code.
[23:20] Kongou
    Maya!
[23:22] 400
    Don't bother.
[23:23] Kongou
    What?
[23:24] 402
    Heavy cruiser Maya's Mental Model is not
[23:27] ---
    equipped with an emotion program.
[23:30] 400
    She is a surveillance unit we created.
[23:33] 400
    She is merely a puppet who
    responds in accordance
[23:33] Maya
    Hey, Kongou, did you know?
[23:35] Maya
    A non-perishable food made
    by boiling fruit and sugar!
[23:37] ---
    with a simple logic routine.
[23:39] 402
    We just performed a force-quit
[23:39] Maya
    Yup, did you call?
[23:41] Maya
    Kongou, you sound tired.
[23:42] 402
    since there is no further
    need for your surveillance.
[23:43] Maya
    Must be tough when no
