[00:20] (Flashback) Xeno
    They won't be escaping.
[00:23] (Flashback) Xeno
    The scout plane made sure of that.
[00:27] (Flashback) Xeno
    We'll pin them down and
    assassinate the enemy scientist.
[00:32] (Flashback) Gen
    A-A-Assassinate?!
[00:35] (Flashback) Xeno
    According to that gentleman, Mr. Gen,
    there's only one OP scientist.
[00:41] (Flashback) Xeno
    In other words, in order to bring
    down the Youth Kingdom of Science...
[00:47] (Flashback) Xeno
    we need only to erase their leader,
[00:54] (Flashback) Xeno
    Doctor Taiju.
[00:59] (Flashback) Gen
    That's a legit good idea!
[01:01] (Flashback) Gen
    B-B-But can you really pull that off?
[01:10] (Flashback) Stanley
    We can.
[01:15] (Flashback) Gen
    How?
[01:18] (Flashback) Stanley
    I can.
[01:21] (Flashback) Xeno
    Oh, Mr. Gen, if Stan says he can do it,
    you have no reason to ask him anything else.
[01:30] (Flashback) Xeno
    It can be done.
[01:33] Gen
    I'm so sorry, Doctor Taiju-chan.
[01:36] Gen
    I need to tell him to beware of
    the assassin headed his way...
[01:42] Gen
    But they'd obviously eavesdrop on our radios.
[01:45] Gen
    And there's no way to get in touch
    with them when I'm being watched.
[01:56] Gen
    This is pretty bad.
[03:48] Luna
    Can we really trust this Gen guy?
[03:53] Stanley
    Trust?
[03:54] Stanley
    Anyone who trusts an enemy defector should
    get their head checked right away.
[04:03] Stanley
    I'll keep him until he
    gives up some information.
[04:07] Stanley
    He's almost certainly an enemy spy.
[04:11] Luna
    R-Right!
[04:12] Luna
    Of course he is! I knew that!
[04:16] Luna
    I just wanted to make sure you weren't
    letting your guard down, Stanley.
[04:20] Luna
    Yup, I was just testing.
[04:30] Stanley
    Why are you stopping, Luna?
[04:32] Luna
    Y-You're just going too fast!
[04:37] Carlos
    Check this out, miss!
[04:40] Carlos
    I'm carrying five more bottles than he is!
[04:43] Max
    My ass you are!
[04:44] Max
    I know you're filling each one
    with less water to fake it!
[04:49] Luna
    Carlos! Max! You're both late!
[04:52] Luna
    It couldn't have been that
    hard to get food and water.
[04:54] Carlos
    It's so much, though!
[04:56] Carlos
    Why do we need so much?
[04:59] Max
    You won't catch me whining, miss!
[05:02] Max
    Unlike this wannabe pick-up artist!
[05:05] Carlos
    Your legs are shaking like a newborn deer!
[05:08] Carlos
    Mister elephant!
[05:09] Max
    Don't!
[05:16] Luna
    You're so useless.
[05:19] Luna
    All right, fine. You're leaving me no choice.
[05:22] Luna
    I'll help carry some.
[05:24] Carlos
    You mustn't, miss!
    I'll take care of all of it!
[05:28] Max
    You can give up acting tough!
[05:30] Max
    Just take a nap! I'll carry it!
[05:35] Luna
    They're totally hopeless.
[05:38] Stanley
    Luna, you aren't carrying any.
[05:40] Luna
    But those two can't...
[05:48] Stanley
    Let me make it clear:
    I never said you don't have to.
[05:51] Stanley
    I said you aren't.
[05:54] Stanley
    Don't leave evidence on your body
    that you did any heavy lifting.
[05:58] Stanley
    You still have work after this.
[06:04] Luna
    Work?
[06:18] Ryusui
    The air's stagnant.
[06:21] Ryusui
    Not a good sign.
[06:23] Ryusui
    You can always trust a sailor's instincts.
[06:30] Carlos
    Is that the enemy ship?
[06:33] Max
    It's huge!
[06:35] Luna
    W-Wow.
[06:37] Luna
    That enemy science guy isn't bad.
[06:39] Luna
    Though there's no way he's as good as Xeno.
[06:44] Luna
    Is that for measuring the
    temperature and humidity?
[06:49] Carlos
    And that's a wind vane?
[06:51] Stanley
    Brought to us by our ever-caring Doctor Xeno.
[06:55] Stanley
    I told him I can figure it out by feel.
[06:58] Stanley
    Though, the more data I have,
    the more certain I can be.
[07:03] Max
    Why are you checking the weather?
[07:05] Max
    Are you doing weather forecasts or something?
[07:09] Stanley
    The weather affects my bullet velocity.
[07:23] Luna
    You aren't gonna...
[07:25] Luna
    From this distance?!
[07:28] Stanley
    I'm sniping him.
[07:33] Carlos
    Snipe...
[07:37] Stanley
    I'm taking out the enemy science leader
    with Xeno's sniper rifle of science.
[07:43] Gen
    Snipe?!
[07:44] Xeno
    Yep, that's right.
[07:46] Xeno
    We avoid a full-on confrontation
    and eliminate key targets,
[07:51] Xeno
    finishing combat with minimal casualties.
[07:55] Xeno
    Sniping is the most elegant,
    scientific means of warfare, is it not?
[08:09] Stanley
    We've already got a read on
    them with our scout plane.
[08:11] Stanley
    This is the optimal position.
[08:14] Luna
    Y-You're killing them?
[08:16] Stanley
    Just the enemy science leader.
[08:19] Luna
    Don't you think that's a little too cruel?
[08:29] Luna
    Just kidding!
[08:30] Luna
    But I gotta make sure these
    two don't chicken out, right?
[08:36] Carlos
    You're so cool, miss!
[08:38] Max
    S-So, so cool! You're the best!
[08:40] Luna
    Also... what's that job for me
    you were talking about earlier?
[08:44] Luna
    What's with this striped outfit?
[08:47] Carlos
    You look fantastic.
[08:50] Max
    Well, Stanley's a guy, after all.
[08:52] Max
    Must be his thing.
[08:53] Max
    She's just so pretty.
[08:54] Stanley
    Each stripe is five inches.
[08:58] Stanley
    You're a tape measure.
[08:59] Stanley
    I can line you up to get a
    precise distance to the target.
[09:05] Stanley
    Luna, you're just about the same age as them.
    They'll be the least suspicious of you.
[09:10] Stanley
    Get on the ship and find their
    leader scientist, Doctor Taiju.
[09:16] Stanley
    I only need three seconds.
[09:17] Stanley
    Bring him out on the deck for three
    seconds, and give me a signal.
[09:23] Stanley
    I'll take him out in a single shot.
[09:33] Luna
    I'm the cool-headed Luna.
[09:36] Luna
    I'm Luna, a capable woman!
[09:44] Stanley
    They would've survived if they'd taken
    the ship out into the open seas.
[09:49] Stanley
    They only stayed because they
    can't leave their buddies behind.
[09:52] Stanley
    Can't expect much grit from a bunch of kids.
[09:59] Stanley
    Knowing that...
[10:02] Stanley
    they're bound to come to the rescue
    if they see a chick begging for help.
[10:03] Luna
    Help me!
[10:09] Stanley
    They sent in a spy,
[10:11] Stanley
    so we'll counter with a spy ourselves.
[10:17] Taiju
    What's wrong? Are you all right?
[10:19] Luna
    Help me, please!
[10:21] Luna
    I barely escaped from the
    terrible Doctor Xeno's kingdom!
[10:26] Yuzuriha
    Doctor Xeno?!
[10:28] Moz
    She's cute.
[10:29] Kirisame
    Is this really the time?
[10:33] Ryusui
    This is a tough call.
[10:36] Ryusui
    I'd love to help her,
[10:38] Ryusui
    but we can't take her at her word.
[10:41] Ryusui
    What are you going to do, Senku?
[10:46] Senku
    Are you all right?
[10:47] Senku
    You're safe now.
[10:49] Senku
    Come aboard the ship.
[10:54] Luna
    Th-Thank you.
[10:59] Taiju
    Get her inside to treat her wounds!
[11:05] Yuzuriha
    Slick...
[11:07] Kinro
    Senku...
[11:18] Carlos
    She's in! I knew she could do it!
[11:21] Carlos
    The enemy's all over her!
[11:24] Moz
    Stanley's putting her in so
    much danger! That asshole!
[11:29] Carlos
    Man, how many hours are we going
    to wait here until we snipe... them...
[11:36] Carlos
    Right, of course.
[11:38] Carlos
    We're waiting until she brings the target
    out onto the deck. As long as it takes.
[11:43] Max
    And that's what all this water's for?
[11:46] Max
    So you can stay focused for as many
    hundreds of hours as it takes?
[11:49] Max
    Stanley's a total freak.
[11:53] Stanley
    So, which one of you is the
    famed science boy, Doctor Taiju?
[12:05] Minami
    Hey.
[12:07] Minami
    Let's treat your wounds over here.
[12:09] Nikki
    She's suspicious.
    Is it really safe to bring her aboard?
[12:13] Moz
    Sure we can. She's got a cute face.
[12:17] Yo
    I mean, Senku's a dude, too.
[12:19] Yo
    He's head over heels.
[12:20] Yo
    He probably has a thing for blondes.
[12:23] Yuzuriha
    I'm not sure about that.
[12:30] Ryusui
    That woman...
[12:31] Ryusui
    There's a fifty-fifty chance—no,
[12:34] Ryusui
    a 70 percent chance she's an enemy spy.
[12:37] Senku
    Not a problem!
[12:39] Senku
    We're going to extract everything
    she knows about Xeno's crew...
[12:44] Senku
    and transmit an encrypted message
    to Tsukasa's special squad.
[12:48] Senku
    The most powerful weapon in a
    science battle is information.
[12:51] Senku
    Spy versus spy.
[12:53] Senku
    We're two sly foxes outfoxing each other.
[12:56] Yuzuriha
    I knew it wasn't what it looked like!
[13:16] Hyoga
    I don't see anything that
    could be the enemy base.
[13:19] Suika
    We can't get more than a rough
    idea of where Chrome is, either.
[13:24] Ukyo
    It'd be nice to have a bit more information.
[13:28] Tsukasa
    We need to capture the enemy science
    leader before they get ours.
[13:35] Tsukasa
    That means gathering intel as quickly as we can.
[13:40] Minami
    Anyway, we're hoping to cooperate
    with you to revive all of humanity!
[13:47] Minami
    We aren't going to surrender or anything,
    but we're always open to discussions!
[13:54] Ginro
    So the enemy can hear this, too?
[13:56] Homura
    Radio transmissions.
[13:58] Minami
    Just in case.
[13:59] Minami
    We have to give it a shot, you know?
[14:03] Minami
    We don't even know what
    Doctor Xeno is like, but...
[14:20] Luna
    My mission...
[14:23] Luna
    is to find the science leader, Doctor Taiju,
    and bring him onto the deck.
[14:28] Luna
    That's a lot of people...
[14:30] Luna
    This could be pretty tough.
[14:33] Luna
    Nah, no problem!
[14:35] Luna
    I'm the cool-headed Luna!
[14:37] Luna
    The capable woman, Luna!
[14:39] Luna
    I can't just go up and ask,
    "Which one's Doctor Taiju?"
[14:43] Luna
    They're still suspicious of me as it is.
[14:48] Luna
    Based on my profiling...
[14:51] Luna
    he's an intellectual who single-handedly led
[14:53] Luna
    the youth in advancing stone world
    science all the way to here.
[14:57] Luna
    A hard-working, diligent man who oozes smarts.
[15:02] Luna
    That's totally my type!
[15:05] Luna
    In other words, I have to
    find someone who's my type!
[15:10] Luna
    I'll use my own emotions in
    the service of my mission!
[15:14] Luna
    I'm so cold and capable!
[15:21] Luna
    This man?
[15:24] Luna
    Nope.
[15:30] Luna
    This man?!
[15:35] Luna
    Nope.
[15:37] Luna
    This... man...
[15:39] Luna
    Nah.
[15:44] Luna
    Definitely not.
[15:51] Luna
    There's a good chance he won't show himself
    that quickly in front of an outsider like me.
[15:56] Luna
    I might be in this for the long haul.
[15:59] Luna
    Which one is Doctor Taiju?
[16:03] Yuzuriha
    Taiju-kun.
[16:03] Taiju
    Yeah?
[16:08] Yuzuriha
    We were looking for you.
[16:10] Yuzuriha
    There's something heavy we need you to carry.
[16:12] Taiju
    Oh, my bad.
[16:14] Taiju
    I'll be on my way.
[16:22] Luna
    Not the ideal image of a scientist...
[16:25] Luna
    But that's all right.
[16:26] Luna
    Anyone else might have missed you, Doctor Taiju.
[16:30] Luna
    Now comes the hard part.
[16:33] Luna
    He's going to be aboard the ship,
    focused on science work.
[16:36] Luna
    He won't be so quick to come outside.
[16:38] Luna
    How do I lure him onto the deck?
[16:42] Taiju
    I'm on my way back on deck!
[16:48] Luna
    I just need to point at him!
[16:51] Luna
    And... that'll be...
[16:54] Senku
    Heya.
[16:56] Senku
    Luna-san, was it?
[16:59] Senku
    I'm Senku.
[17:01] Kinro
    It's so natural...
[17:03] Kinro
    Slick Senku...
[17:04] Yuzuriha
    He's trying to slowly pry information
    about Doctor Xeno out of her.
[17:09] Senku
    I need info on Xeno.
[17:11] Senku
    Tell me everything you know.
[17:16] Ryusui
    Senku.
[17:17] Senku
    What?
[17:18] Senku
    I'm right in the middle of interrogations.
[17:21] Ryusui
    Allow Francois to tend to our guest.
[17:25] Francois
    We first need her to open up to us.
[17:29] Francois
    Please make use of Bar François.
[17:36] Ryusui
    To get her on our side,
    we need to answer to her wants!
[17:40] Francois
    So long as we don't know what Luna-sama
    wants, we'll simply have to guess.
[17:45] Ryusui
    In that case, the one thing that
    no one in the world hates...
[17:52] Ryusui
    Ice cream!
[17:54] Senku
    I'm gonna need some citations on that.
[17:56] Ryusui
    I'm citing me, the foremost authority on greed.
[17:59] Minami
    He's right, though.
[18:00] Minami
    I can't think of anything that fewer
    people would hate than ice cream.
[18:03] Yo
    I've never heard of anyone who
    says they don't like ice cream.
[18:08] Francois
    The ingredients are exceedingly simple.
[18:10] Francois
    Milk.
[18:11] Francois
    Sugar.
[18:13] Francois
    Gelatin...
[18:13] Francois
    Or, in our case, we'll use powdered arrowroot.
[18:18] Francois
    It'll give it a smooth texture.
[18:20] Francois
    Now we just need some vanilla essence.
[18:26] Senku
    Vanilla doesn't grow in the States,
    so we're synthesizing ours with science.
[18:30] Yuzuriha
    I do remember you making some
    for Valentine's Day, too.
[18:36] Senku
    Wrap a test tube with copper wire,
    toss in some iron,
[18:41] Senku
    and zap it with some portable high-voltage!
[18:46] Ginro
    It's glowing purple!
[18:51] Luna
    What is he up to?
[18:57] Minami
    It smells like a pool!
[18:58] Ryusui
    More like a photocopier.
[19:00] Senku
    It's producing ozone.
[19:03] Minami
    We're getting further and
    further from ice cream!
[19:05] Minami
    Are you sure about this?
    Is this supposed to work?
[19:08] Senku
    Boil some bay leaf extract
[19:10] Senku
    in our good friend sodium hydroxide and
    infuse it with some of that ozone we made...
[19:18] Senku
    and you get vanilla essence.
[19:21] Minami
    Out of nowhere!
[19:23] Homura
    A sweet scent...
[19:30] Francois
    We stir the ingredients well as we let it cool.
[19:33] Senku
    Throw some salt onto ice and you can get
    it ten or twenty degrees below freezing.
[19:44] Luna
    Doctor Taiju's on the deck!
[19:46] Luna
    If I go up to him and point...
[19:48] Nikki
    Whoa, there.
[19:50] Nikki
    What are you up to?
[19:52] Nikki
    You're hurt. You need to take it easy.
[19:56] Luna
    Thanks. It's okay.
[19:59] Senku
    Then just put it in a bag and squeeze it out...
[20:06] Senku
    and you've got soft serve.
[20:15] Senku
    Here you go.
[20:51] Luna
    Was it that electricity?
[20:54] Luna
    How did you...
[20:55] Luna
    Do you even have vanilla?
[20:57] Senku
    When you don't, you make do.
[21:00] Senku
    Two million years of human tenacity.
[21:04] Senku
    You reach into the fundamentals of
    reality—into the molecules—
[21:08] Senku
    and make things that aren't supposed to exist.
[21:11] Senku
    That's the real thrill of organic chemistry.
[21:17] Luna
    No! No!
[21:18] Luna
    I'm supposed to be attracted to intellectuals!
[21:20] Luna
    Doctor Taiju is the science leader!
[21:23] Luna
    I-It came out pretty nicely, huh?
[21:27] Luna
    In Xeno's words, it's extremely...
[21:34] Luna
    elegant.
[21:38] Senku
    Luna...
[21:41] Senku
    Was Doctor Xeno a former NASA scientist?
[21:45] Luna
    How did you know?!
[21:52] Ryusui
    Who is he?
[21:57] Senku
    Doctor Xeno...
[21:59] Senku
    He got me started on rocket building.
[22:08] Senku
    He's my science mentor.
