[00:06] ---
    What is that planet?!
[00:08] ---
    If that's not Earth,
[00:10] ---
    where did you all come from?!
[00:13] ---
    Our planet?
[00:14] ---
    That's obvious.
[00:17] ---
    Planet...
[00:18] ---
    ...Astra.
[00:30] ---
    What is this continent?
[00:31] ---
    Continent Carifa.
[00:33] ---
    And this one?
[00:34] ---
    Continent Aria Sue.
[00:37] ---
    Like I thought, this is nothing
    like the Earth I know...
[00:40] ---
    Astra and Earth.
[00:42] ---
    Our planet and yours are not the same.
    That's the only possible conclusion.
[00:46] ---
    That makes no sense!
[00:48] ---
    So there are people also living
    on this "Earth" planet, too?
[00:51] ---
    Listen.
[00:52] ---
    This is my theory, but...
[00:55] ---
    Maybe Polina is a space alien?
[00:57] ---
    Are you an idiot?!
[00:58] ---
    No, I mean like, she's taking
    on the form of a human!
[01:00] ---
    Shut up already, you broken robot!
[01:02] ---
    Sorry, Polina. His brain
    is made of cream puffs.
[01:06] ---
    He's right. From your point of view,
    I am from an alien planet...
[01:10] ---
    Oh, don't cry, it's so easy
    to make you cry.
[01:13] ---
    It's clear that we are all the same humans.
[01:16] ---
    We also speak the same language.
[01:17] ---
    But the difference in home
    planets can't be ignored.
[01:21] ---
    I'm speaking English now,
    but my mother tongue is Russian.
[01:25] ---
    "Russia." Have you heard of it?
[01:27] ---
    Hmm... No.
[01:29] ---
    It's a "country," right? I know.
[01:32] ---
    You know about Russia?!
[01:34] ---
    A "country"...
[01:36] ---
    It's an outdated geopolitical designation.
[01:38] ---
    Those don't exist anymore.
[01:39] ---
    There are no countries...?
[01:42] ---
    The northern part of
    the Aria Sue continent
[01:44] ---
    is where the Russian Empire was,
    and it later became the Soviet Union.
[01:48] ---
    China was there, the small island next
    to it is Japan. Below China is India...
[01:53] ---
    Wow.
[01:55] ---
    --Old Era maps, I don't remember that at all.
[01:57] ---
    --Everything is out of place, but the
    relative positions are somewhat correct.
    --Old Era maps, I don't remember that at all.
[01:58] ---
    --Everything is out of place, but the
    relative positions are somewhat correct.
[02:00] ---
    The difference is... time?
[02:04] ---
    It seems like comparing our histories
    is the key to solving this.
[02:11] ---
    We then started discussing
    the histories of our worlds.
[02:17] ---
    Let's see, Industrial Revolution,
    First and Second World Wars, right?
[02:22] ---
    It seems pretty similar up to here.
[02:25] ---
    I'm surprised by how vague your knowledge is.
    Don't they teach history in school?
[02:30] ---
    There are classes, but we don't
    cover the Old Era much.
[02:34] ---
    I found it interesting so I read
    some books on my own,
[02:37] ---
    but there just aren't very many books
    that cover this deeply.
[02:40] ---
    Not many books?
[02:41] ---
    In school we are taught to look towards
    the future instead of dwelling on the past.
[02:46] ---
    What...? Studying history
    is the most important thing.
[02:51] ---
    Something feels... deliberate.
    Like they're trying to hide history...
[02:57] ---
    And then there's the key turning
    point after the Cold War.
[03:01] ---
    World War III, 1962.
[03:07] ---
    World War III?! What is that?!
[03:09] ---
    1962 was the year of
    the Cuban Missile Crisis!
[03:12] ---
    Cuban Missile Crisis?
[03:14] ---
    Cuba is the name of the country with
    the base that got bombed, right?
[03:18] ---
    That was the trigger that lead to the war.
[03:21] ---
    Wait. In the history that I know,
    the base was not bombed
[03:24] ---
    and the war was averted!
[03:27] ---
    History branched off!
    This is the juncture!
[03:30] ---
    A war happened after
    the Cuban Missile Crisis...
[03:33] ---
    Oh, God... What is this...?
[03:37] ---
    God?
[03:39] ---
    Polina, what is "God"?
[03:44] ---
    He doesn't know what "God" is?
    No countries or religions?
[03:50] ---
    Tell me what happened
    after that in your history.
[03:56] ---
    October 27, 1962.
    The USA and USSR entered into war.
[04:03] ---
    Nuclear missiles were used, sending
    the world into an all-out nuclear war.
[04:10] ---
    The war itself lasted only two months,
[04:13] ---
    but half the population
    of the world was lost.
[04:18] ---
    Humanity regretted its foolish actions
    and vowed to rebuild a peaceful world.
[04:26] ---
    1963, the World United Government
    is formed. Countries are abolished.
[04:30] ---
    Also, the greatest wish of all people
    was realized--the abolishment of guns.
[04:36] ---
    People overcame differences in race
    and worked together to rebuild very quickly.
[04:41] ---
    Humanity was finally able
    to create a peaceful world.
[04:46] ---
    This is nothing like what I know...
    How did this happen?
[04:51] ---
    Or, in fact, did these things really happen?
[04:54] ---
    Now it's your turn. Tell us, is it true
    that your world never had WWIII?
[05:02] ---
    Yes...
[05:03] ---
    It was far from peaceful,
    but there was no global war.
[05:07] ---
    But a far greater threat emerged, one that
    overwrote all other petty human conflicts.
[05:13] ---
    2049, an asteroid was discovered on a
    collision course with Earth within eight years.
[05:19] ---
    An asteroid?!
[05:20] ---
    About 300km in diameter. It would have
    killed all life on the planet if it struck.
[05:27] ---
    You have to be kidding!
[05:28] ---
    2057 already passed!
[05:31] ---
    We weren't hit by an asteroid!
[05:34] ---
    Let's hear her out. We already established
    that her history is different from ours.
[05:39] ---
    There was only one solution--
    to emigrate to a new planet.
[05:45] ---
    All of humanity, a selection of plants
    and animals, historical relics...
[05:49] ---
    A plan was made to take as many things
    as possible to a new planet.
[05:53] ---
    Planetary immigration?!
[05:54] ---
    There's no way you can
    carry all of humanity!
[05:57] ---
    It's possible.
[05:59] ---
    With the artificial wormholes.
[06:01] ---
    Artificial... wormhole?
[06:09] ---
    Could it be?!
[06:10] ---
    What's a wormhole?
[06:11] ---
    It's like a tunnel that goes
    through time and space.
[06:14] ---
    Unlike spaceship faster-than-light travel,
[06:17] ---
    I've never heard that such
    technology was already available.
[06:19] ---
    Wait, so maybe...!
[06:21] ---
    Yes, the thought crossed my mind
    when you told me your story.
[06:26] ---
    The sphere of light could
    have been a wormhole.
[06:31] ---
    At that time,
    while working on that technology,
[06:35] ---
    we were scrambling to find
    a good planet to move to.
[06:39] ---
    The Ark series of spaceships
    was used precisely for that task.
[06:42] ---
    This is probably the Ark XII--
    the one that was never used.
[06:46] ---
    You already know what happened
    to the Ark VI, which I was on.
[06:50] ---
    So you don't know what happened
    after that? Did the exodus work?
[06:56] ---
    The exodus most likely...
[06:59] ---
    ...finished successfully.
[07:01] ---
    I knew it.
[07:03] ---
    Yes.
[07:04] ---
    The planet that was chosen
    was Planet Astra.
[07:07] ---
    You all are former Earthlings
    who moved to Astra.
[07:11] ---
    What?!
[07:12] ---
    It can't be!
[07:13] ---
    There are still some things
    that don't make sense,
[07:15] ---
    but that is the only logical conclusion.
[07:17] ---
    The exodus was completed,
    and afterwards the asteroid struck Earth...
[07:21] ---
    So how is Earth now?!
[07:25] ---
    You said when the sphere swallowed you
[07:30] ---
    it spat you out above
    a lifeless ice planet, right?
[07:34] ---
    Ice planet...? Yes! There was!
[07:38] ---
    Wait, so...
[07:41] ---
    That was Earth.
[07:45] ---
    The dust from the asteroid impact
    blocked off the sun, causing an ice age...
[07:51] ---
    The sphere of light must have been
    one of the gates used in the exodus.
[07:55] ---
    This Arc XII might have been parked
    over the terminal above Earth,
[08:00] ---
    and was knocked out into free orbit
    due to the asteroid or something.
[08:05] ---
    So...
[08:07] ---
    All this time, we were travelling
    from Earth to Astra.
[08:15] ---
    But the chronology doesn't make sense.
[08:18] ---
    The current year is 2063.
    Assuming the exodus was complete in 2057,
[08:24] ---
    it's only been six years.
[08:26] ---
    No matter how similar to Earth Astra was,
    it should have taken much longer to colonize it.
[08:33] ---
    Is there another secret we don't know?
[08:36] ---
    It's not unlikely.
[08:38] ---
    "The adults are lying to us."
    That's what my brother said.
[08:43] ---
    There could be some reason why
    they can't tell our generation the truth.
[08:49] ---
    Maybe we should stop here.
[08:52] ---
    There's no point in arguing
    over hypotheses here.
[08:55] ---
    Aries.
[08:56] ---
    I'm more concerned about
    the atmosphere getting bad.
[09:01] ---
    Let's make it back to Astra,
    see the truth with our own eyes,
[09:05] ---
    then learn about the things we don't know.
[09:09] ---
    After all, planetary exploration
    is our specialty now, isn't it?
[09:13] ---
    You're right.
[09:15] ---
    Let's go home, to Astra.
[09:22] ---
    Team B5, camp log.
[09:24] ---
    "In faster-than-light travel
    Day 90 of being lost in space"
    The Astra is now on its way to
    the final planet: Planet Galem.
[09:28] ---
    We decided to set aside
    the mystery of our world for now,
[09:31] ---
    and the ship is back to its peaceful state.
[09:40] ---
    "Let's leave the idiot here
    and get to the lodge."
[09:43] ---
    "Hey guys, what is that?"
[09:46] ---
    "What is that...?"
[09:47] ---
    "It's coming closer."
[09:49] ---
    "Obviously this is just theatrics."
[09:52] ---
    Whoosh.
[09:55] ---
    "Everyone, run!"
[10:07] ---
    Yes, who is it?
[10:10] ---
    Oh... Kanata.
[10:12] ---
    Um, what is it? It's lights out already.
[10:16] ---
    Aries. I need to talk to you.
[10:18] ---
    Wait, please! What is it?
    I'm not prepared...
[10:23] ---
    No need to prepare, just let me in.
[10:26] ---
    No! I mean yes, but no!
[10:29] ---
    Come on, before someone shows up.
[10:31] ---
    Why is that a problem?!
[10:32] ---
    Seriously, seriously. Please, please.
    It'll be over super quick.
[10:34] ---
    Please don't phrase it like that!
[10:38] ---
    Please, Aries.
[10:43] ---
    Just talking?
[10:45] ---
    It's important.
[10:48] ---
    Okay...
[10:59] ---
    "Planet Galem
    Day 111 of being lost in space"
[11:03] ---
    We're finally at the last planet.
[11:06] ---
    Yeah.
[11:07] ---
    I'm feeling sad, strangely.
[11:09] ---
    After saying so many times
    that you want to go home?
[11:12] ---
    It was definitely an exciting trip.
[11:14] ---
    What about you, Aries?
[11:16] ---
    How was the trip for you?
[11:17] ---
    Well, a lot happened, but I was
    able to complete my goal.
[11:23] ---
    Goal?
[11:24] ---
    To become friends with everyone.
[11:30] ---
    You totally overachieved there.
[11:37] ---
    Let's start the search in the area
    within a 500m radius around the ship.
[11:41] ---
    Quitterie, stand by in the ship.
[11:43] ---
    Funi, follow Zack.
[11:45] ---
    Aye, yeah.
[11:46] ---
    Charce, how is the atmosphere?
[11:48] ---
    No problems.
[11:50] ---
    --Our focus on day one is to gather
    a wide variety, not a large quantity.
[11:50] ---
    --How efficient. Wonderful.
    --Our focus on day one is to gather
    a wide variety, not a large quantity.
[11:53] ---
    --This is our fifth time, after all.
    --Our focus on day one is to gather
    a wide variety, not a large quantity.
[11:55] ---
    Aye, yeah!
[12:10] ---
    Impressive! I guess that's another
    thing you learned on this trip.
[12:14] ---
    Yes, looks delicious.
[12:16] ---
    I'm more impressed by the tastes
    you've acquired on this trip...
[12:19] ---
    This seems like a nice planet,
    very lush with nature.
[12:23] ---
    Yeah, we shouldn't have
    much trouble finding food.
[12:26] ---
    We're really getting home, to Astra.
[12:29] ---
    Yes.
[12:33] ---
    I wonder how our lives will be
    when we get back.
[12:36] ---
    I'll probably go back
    to living with my mom,
[12:39] ---
    but the others probably
    can't do that, right?
[12:41] ---
    Yeah. Well, I'm sure the government
    will support us until we graduate.
[12:46] ---
    That said, I'm sure we're all able
    to live on our own now.
[12:50] ---
    After running around the galaxy like this,
    what is there to be afraid of anymore?
[12:56] ---
    I agree.
[12:58] ---
    I think I grew a bit stronger
    during this trip, too.
[13:02] ---
    Thanks to you.
[13:07] ---
    When we get home to Astra...
[13:09] ---
    Yes?
[13:10] ---
    Um... I, uh, I'll walk you home.
[13:14] ---
    What?
[13:16] ---
    A camping trip isn't over until you're
    safely home, and I'm the captain.
[13:21] ---
    Yes, please!
    I will introduce you to my mom.
[13:25] ---
    Um... Okay.
[13:26] ---
    Right, this area is covered. I'm going to go
    take a look in the southern area.
[13:31] ---
    Aries, go meet up with everyone.
    They're in the forest.
[13:34] ---
    Right, I'll go heat up everyone,
    they're in for a rest.
[13:37] ---
    What is it that you're trying to achieve?
[13:45] ---
    At this rate, it's likely
    that we're going to get home.
[13:47] ---
    The only thing I'm worried about
    is the enemy among us.
[13:50] ---
    Right now, we all share a bond
    deeper than friends or companions.
[13:54] ---
    The enemy probably values this bond, too.
[13:57] ---
    The fact that they haven't taken
    any action against us is proof of this.
[14:00] ---
    Nobody is trying to figure out who
    the killer is precisely because of that bond.
[14:05] ---
    I don't have to worry about this
    if we're going to get home safely.
[14:09] ---
    We'll just pretend there was
    no enemy to begin with...
[14:19] ---
    It's here...!
[14:27] ---
    Dammit! Was it a mistake
    to go in the cave?!
[14:36] ---
    Aries!
[14:38] ---
    Kanata, what's wrong?
    Why are you running?
[14:41] ---
    Aries!
[14:42] ---
    Sphere...
[14:43] ---
    What?
[14:50] ---
    It's gone...
[14:51] ---
    What happened, Kanata?
[14:55] ---
    Let's get back to the ship.
[14:58] ---
    The enemy wants to
    kill us all on this planet.
[15:02] ---
    Then they're planning on getting
    home all alone on the Astra.
[15:06] ---
    I've figured out who the enemy is.
[15:09] ---
    They don't know that I know.
[15:12] ---
    I'll make the first move tomorrow.
[15:15] ---
    It's time for a showdown!
[15:18] ---
    "Planet Galem
    Day 112 of being lost in space"
[15:22] ---
    Zack, Charce.
    I have to talk to you two, alone.
[15:26] ---
    I was attacked by the sphere yesterday.
[15:30] ---
    What?!
[15:31] ---
    Is it the enemy...?
[15:33] ---
    Yeah, they're trying to kill us all here.
[15:37] ---
    I'm going to get them before they get us.
[15:40] ---
    Do you know who it is?
[15:51] ---
    Ulgar?!
[15:52] ---
    It can't be!
[15:53] ---
    Is it Ulgar?!
[15:54] ---
    Yeah, but I don't have definite proof.
[15:57] ---
    That's why we're going to entrap him.
[15:59] ---
    Wait, but why Ulgar?!
[16:02] ---
    I'll tell you the reason later. We don't
    have time for that right now. Just listen.
[16:07] ---
    That day, the sphere
    swallowed us on Planet McPa.
[16:12] ---
    If the "exit" that we came out of
    was used for the exodus,
[16:17] ---
    why was the "entrance"
    on McPa and Vilavurs?
[16:21] ---
    The enemy is able to carry
    the wormhole around.
[16:24] ---
    Exactly.
[16:25] ---
    Assuming that's true,
    why restart the killing now?
[16:29] ---
    Doesn't he want to go home to Astra?
[16:32] ---
    He worked with us this far
    to improve his chance of survival.
[16:35] ---
    But we're close to home now.
[16:38] ---
    He thinks he can finish the killing
    and get home by himself.
[16:41] ---
    Can't we just lock Ulgar up
    and prevent any danger?
[16:45] ---
    It won't be that easy.
    He has two powerful weapons.
[16:49] ---
    The gun...
[16:50] ---
    ...and the sphere.
[16:52] ---
    Do you have a plan?
[16:53] ---
    I tried to anticipate his actions.
[16:56] ---
    Yesterday, he came after me alone.
[16:58] ---
    He probably thought it was too risky
    to come after all of us at the same time.
[17:01] ---
    I'm going to take advantage of that.
[17:03] ---
    Charce, can you go foraging with Ulgar alone?
[17:06] ---
    You want me to be bait? That's...
[17:09] ---
    Just hear me out.
[17:13] ---
    Zack and I will tail you. So try to go
    somewhere easy for us to hide...
[17:18] ---
    That cave to the south, where I
    went yesterday. That would be good.
[17:21] ---
    We'll adjust the helmet communicator
    so that only the three of us can hear.
[17:25] ---
    Then we can adjust our positions
    while we lure Ulgar in.
[17:28] ---
    When he brings out the sphere, we will
    jump him from behind and take him down.
[17:32] ---
    Will it go that easily?
[17:34] ---
    We have a good chance.
[17:35] ---
    He thinks he can surprise us,
    but we already know what he's up to.
[17:39] ---
    You just need to watch out for
    the moment he brings out the sphere.
[17:43] ---
    Also, he's tried to attack us with
    the sphere three times now and failed.
[17:49] ---
    He'll probably try to use the gun
    this time, to make sure it works.
[17:52] ---
    I messed with the gun. It shouldn't
    be able to fire right away.
[17:56] ---
    So he should be vulnerable while he's
    surprised by the gun malfunction...
[18:00] ---
    Do you think you can handle it?
[18:01] ---
    I trust my captain.
[18:04] ---
    I'm in the cave.
[18:05] ---
    Go straight down the path. The fluorescent
    plants should provide enough light.
[18:10] ---
    We've arrived as well.
[18:12] ---
    Try to keep some distance from Ulgar.
    Don't get too close.
[18:26] ---
    We've entered an open area.
[18:27] ---
    I'll pretend to look for food
    and watch Ulgar.
[18:31] ---
    Charce, abort mission!
[18:33] ---
    What's wrong?
[18:34] ---
    It's an emergency!
    Quitterie just called. Funi is missing.
[18:38] ---
    Funi is missing?!
[18:39] ---
    We all have to look for her!
    Head back to the ship!
[18:42] ---
    Abort the mission!
[18:43] ---
    Got it.
[19:11] ---
    Turn off the sphere.
[19:14] ---
    I knew it was you,
[19:17] ---
    Charce.
[19:25] ---
    So this is the device
    that controls the sphere...
[19:28] ---
    What is this, Kanata?
[19:31] ---
    I saw you bring out the sphere.
    I took away the controller device.
[19:35] ---
    You're the enemy, Charce.
[19:38] ---
    Why you?!
[19:41] ---
    Nobody tampered with this gun.
    It can shoot whenever I want.
[19:45] ---
    Ulgar and I are in on this, too.
[19:51] ---
    So it was all an act... to entrap me.
[19:54] ---
    Or rather, to entrap the enemy.
[19:58] ---
    Exactly.
[20:04] ---
    So I'm the only one
    who didn't know? How sad.
[20:09] ---
    I'm sorry, Charce.
    But I... I still believe in you.
[20:15] ---
    Yeah, Charce! Come on,
    this is a mistake, right?!
[20:18] ---
    Charce!
[20:21] ---
    How did you know it was me?
[20:23] ---
    Charce!
[20:24] ---
    I remembered when we were
    running away from the sphere on McPa.
[20:29] ---
    If the enemy wants to kill all of us,
    they need to see it through.
[20:33] ---
    In other words, the last one
    to enter the orb is the enemy.
[20:38] ---
    And you thought that was me?
[20:40] ---
    You think, in all that confusion,
    you remember who went in the sphere last?
[20:45] ---
    It's not like you were filming that incident...
[20:49] ---
    Ah, I see.
[20:51] ---
    Yes. Aries remembered.
[20:58] ---
    What were you going to do
    if you were wrong?
[21:02] ---
    Charce, please say it isn't you!
[21:06] ---
    I'm out of excuses.
[21:07] ---
    Anything!
[21:09] ---
    I won't believe you are the enemy.
    I wouldn't believe anybody is.
[21:17] ---
    You were always so kind to me.
    You knew so much about biology and cooking.
[21:25] ---
    You supported everyone all the time.
[21:27] ---
    If it wasn't for you,
    we wouldn't have made it this far.
[21:33] ---
    So... we're wrong about this, right?
[21:37] ---
    I... had a mission.
[21:41] ---
    We are all clones and one of
    the originals made you kill us, right?
[21:47] ---
    Yes. It's like you all said.
    This is a cover-up to hide a cloning crime.
[21:53] ---
    It was supposed to be a simple mission.
[21:56] ---
    Push the switch on McPa
    to send everyone to space.
[22:03] ---
    I, the culprit, also die.
[22:05] ---
    It seems like you activated
    the sphere too early.
[22:09] ---
    We were all wearing our crust suits
    and we had time to put our helmets on.
[22:14] ---
    You're right. But I wanted
    to do this with my suit on.
[22:21] ---
    I wanted to die while gazing into space.
[22:26] ---
    But...
[22:27] ---
    We somehow found a ship.
    That was not part of your plan, was it?
[22:32] ---
    No. After finding the ship
    and helping Aries,
[22:36] ---
    I pretended to investigate
    the communicator and disabled it.
[22:39] ---
    I didn't want you to get in touch.
[22:42] ---
    But after that, I decided to work
    with everyone to get to the last planet.
[22:48] ---
    And that's how we got here.
[22:52] ---
    I'm impressed. I really am.
[22:56] ---
    Who knew working together could allow
    people to achieve such greatness?
[23:01] ---
    Enough! You're the one who tried to kill
    all of the people you worked with!
[23:06] ---
    Charce. Tell us everything.
    Why do you have this mission?
[23:12] ---
    What mission is so important that you
    had to kill yourself to achieve it?!
[23:18] ---
    That's unacceptable!
[23:19] ---
    Who are you?
[23:25] ---
    I'm also a clone.
[23:28] ---
    The only difference is I've known
    all along that I am a clone.
[23:35] ---
    My original is Noah Vix.
[23:38] ---
    The ruler of the Vixia Royal Quarter.
[23:40] ---
    I am a clone of the king.
