*Escape*
**[00:17] ---**
*On this wind,*
**[00:19] ---**
*I let my tears ride*
**[00:21] ---**
*Speeding up until they dry*
**[00:26] ---**
*I can fly over and go on*
**[00:30] ---**
*I just know that the answer*
**[00:32] ---**
*Is out there, on the far side of that distant sky*
**[00:42] ---**
*In this place, where I can't find the answer*
**[00:47] ---**
*I sigh and look at the sky*
**[00:52] ---**
*Shining deep in these eyes suffused in blue*
**[00:58] ---**
*Is a dreamer, who can go anywhere*
**[01:01] ---**
*That's me, you see*
**[01:03] ---**
*Escape*
**[01:04] ---**
*On this wind,*
**[01:07] ---**
*I let my wish ride*
**[01:09] ---**
*My outstretched hands paint the future*
**[01:14] ---**
*I'm not afraid anymore*
**[01:17] ---**
*Of the trace of tears*
**[01:20] ---**
*Suffused in rainbow colors, I fly on*
**[01:30] ---**
*To the far side of that sky*
**[01:55] ---**
I wonder what Noa's doing...
**[01:57] ---**
If we'd made her a spacesuit,
she could've come along.
**[02:00] ---**
This isn't an anime.
**[02:02] ---**
There's no budget for that
sort of thing in real life.
**[02:05] ---**
Woohoo, daughter of the CEO!
**[02:07] ---**
Don't. I mean it.
**[02:08] ---**
I bet she's feeling lonely... Noa...
**[02:11] ---**
She hasn't seen Naru in a long time, either...
**[02:49] ---**
Thank you.
**[02:51] ---**
It says it can breathe now.
**[02:57] ---**
Come here.
**[03:09] ---**
I still find this so strange.
**[03:11] ---**
When I'm near you, I feel free and easy.
**[03:14] ---**
You are not ill.
**[03:16] ---**
There is merely a piece of the
Scub Coral growing inside of you.
**[03:20] ---**
Why are you so kind only to me?
**[03:23] ---**
Kind? This Truth?
**[03:26] ---**
You do everything I ask of you
and you always stay with me.
**[03:31] ---**
Even though I haven't done anything for you.
**[03:35] ---**
You and I are one and the same.
**[03:38] ---**
We seek the truth together
and disavow this world.
**[03:43] ---**
I still think you're kind.
**[03:46] ---**
Because for me,
you've refrained from killing Ao.
**[03:53] ---**
Ao Fukai...
**[03:55] ---**
In time, he, too, will realize the truth.
**[04:24] ---**
Amazing...
**[04:31] ---**
Wh-What the heck is this?
**[04:40] ---**
Our headquarters was built by
recycling the unfamiliar structures
**[04:43] ---**
that were discovered in Scub Corals.
**[04:47] ---**
I believe that was how it was explained to you?
**[04:49] ---**
The Op Director...
**[04:51] ---**
I was also told that the Gazelle Agency
**[04:53] ---**
was a free and independent reserve unit
**[04:55] ---**
with the freedom to go where we pleased.
**[04:57] ---**
However, you are funded 100% by our company.
**[05:01] ---**
I would ask that you apprise us
of your activities at all times.
**[05:03] ---**
You make it sound so sinister.
**[05:05] ---**
We only wanted to verify what it was
that the US agent was investigating.
**[05:10] ---**
For future reference, you see.
**[05:13] ---**
This is just the remains of a test site.
**[05:15] ---**
We merely have it sealed off
out of contamination concerns.
**[05:17] ---**
C-Contamination?!
**[05:20] ---**
I totally expected to see a heap of Quartz here.
**[05:24] ---**
Quartz? Those are not here.
**[05:27] ---**
That won't work on us.
**[05:28] ---**
In point of fact, the teams have
collected them on many occasions.
**[05:31] ---**
Still, they're not here anymore.
**[05:49] ---**
I just can't get used to it.
**[05:51] ---**
This whole space thing...
**[05:53] ---**
Well, I'm going this way.
**[05:56] ---**
Huh?
**[05:57] ---**
She's going to transfer the Quartz.
**[06:00] ---**
The ones we collected from the Scub Corals?
**[06:02] ---**
They're all here?
**[06:15] ---**
Silicon?
**[06:16] ---**
Depicting zero-G in
animation is a pain, after all.
**[06:19] ---**
Why are you talking about animation?
**[06:23] ---**
Looks like you caught us just
as we finished our baking.
**[06:28] ---**
A butler? Is that a butler?
**[06:31] ---**
This is Chief Hannah of Team Harlequin.
**[06:38] ---**
You must be Ao. I knew you right away.
**[06:40] ---**
Well, sure. With that hair.
**[06:43] ---**
Um, Chief...
**[06:44] ---**
Call me Mom.
**[06:46] ---**
That's what everybody calls me around here.
**[06:48] ---**
M-Mom...?
**[06:50] ---**
Wow, so you really are an alien.
**[06:53] ---**
An alien?
**[06:55] ---**
Come on, let's all have tea together.
**[06:57] ---**
No, let's get right to the meeting.
**[06:59] ---**
I just have one set to go.
**[07:01] ---**
Liu Yin.
**[07:02] ---**
Yes, Ma'am.
**[07:04] ---**
Coffee for you, I believe? Ivica?
**[07:09] ---**
This is why I hate space.
**[07:13] ---**
So, the computer here is Georg, too.
**[07:15] ---**
I am one, Ao Fukai.
**[07:17] ---**
Why? Because to begin with, I am not
a computer, but an operating system...
**[07:20] ---**
He's the same.
**[07:22] ---**
Ao, come on, over here.
**[07:34] ---**
That thing's for the Planet War Initiative.
**[07:37] ---**
So I hear.
**[07:38] ---**
It's meant to intercept ballistic missiles in space.
**[07:42] ---**
You think it's easy to get
authorization for something like that?
**[07:44] ---**
Authorization? No need.
**[07:46] ---**
I've already hijacked its circuitry.
**[07:49] ---**
Firecracker, huh?
**[07:51] ---**
Just keeping you informed. Later.
**[07:54] ---**
J. Johansson.
**[07:59] ---**
Prof. Johansson committed
suicide several years ago.
**[08:03] ---**
The Johansson Book that he left behind
**[08:05] ---**
is called a book of prophecy
by some of his adherents.
**[08:09] ---**
The professor had an adopted son.
**[08:12] ---**
And this adopted son is you, isn't it, Truth?
**[08:17] ---**
Johansson said...
**[08:20] ---**
...that this world is wrong.
**[08:27] ---**
--Even if there is a fusion blast due to
**[08:28] ---**
--It's begun.
**[08:29] ---**
a Scub Burst in space...
**[08:31] ---**
...it will not harm us on Earth's surface.
**[08:34] ---**
However, this time, the Scub
has appeared at an altitude
**[08:37] ---**
that falls within what is called "low Earth orbit,"
**[08:39] ---**
which has a high concentration of satellites.
**[08:41] ---**
If a fusion blast occurs here,
**[08:43] ---**
it is believed that it will produce
a massive amount of debris.
**[08:46] ---**
Therefore, on this occasion,
**[08:47] ---**
the UN has commissioned Generation
Bleu to eliminate the Secret.
**[08:51] ---**
Man, that feels good!
**[08:53] ---**
A mission with all the world's
hope squarely on our shoulders.
**[08:57] ---**
Truly, we are international rescuers.
**[09:00] ---**
If we fail, our sponsors will waste no time
**[09:02] ---**
washing their hands of us.
**[09:05] ---**
Why are we the ones going?
**[09:07] ---**
When those other people are here...
**[09:09] ---**
Harlequin gets special treatment.
**[09:11] ---**
Like you, Fleur?
**[09:15] ---**
Harlequin is supposed to be our backup.
**[09:19] ---**
But in truth, they're...
**[09:20] ---**
The guardians of the Quartz!
**[09:22] ---**
The Quartz?
**[09:23] ---**
Though the Seven Days of Fire may come
**[09:25] ---**
and all on the Earth's surface be razed
to the ground, they will survive.
**[09:29] ---**
Which is why there are multiple
families living here as well.
**[09:32] ---**
What's this "Fire" thing?
**[09:33] ---**
That's not the part worth questioning,
**[09:35] ---**
but it's true that there are rumors to that effect.
**[09:38] ---**
They'll survive, even if the rest of us all die?
**[09:41] ---**
Oh, honestly! Hurry up!
**[09:46] ---**
Out in space, our IFOs won't
be free to move as we please.
**[09:49] ---**
We'll have to do this in one lethal strike...
**[09:52] ---**
Ao? What's wrong, Ao?
**[09:55] ---**
There's something wrong...
**[09:57] ---**
What's happened?
**[09:58] ---**
I've never seen a sky like this...
**[10:01] ---**
I can't see it...
**[10:03] ---**
The path in the wind...
**[10:05] ---**
I was afraid of this.
**[10:07] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[10:08] ---**
Ao, return immediately.
**[10:10] ---**
Fleur and Elena, stand by. Be good now.
**[10:13] ---**
The time until the Secret makes contact is...
**[10:15] ---**
Here, Mom's word is law.
**[10:32] ---**
What's the path in the wind?
**[10:33] ---**
I'd always been able to see it until now.
**[10:35] ---**
Ever since I was a kid, when I first flew.
**[10:39] ---**
See what?
**[10:40] ---**
So, up until now, you've been
piloting FPs by following those paths.
**[10:47] ---**
Um, you all see it, too, don't you?
**[10:53] ---**
Ao likely sees the world like this.
**[10:57] ---**
What he sees is not the wind. They are trapars.
**[11:01] ---**
He can see trapars?
**[11:03] ---**
It was reported that the genes
**[11:05] ---**
for his optic nerve cells differ
in part from ours, remember?
**[11:09] ---**
But while we refer to trapars
as "particles," if I remember right...
**[11:12] ---**
Approximate diameter, 20 nanometers.
**[11:15] ---**
No human can see them with the naked eye.
**[11:18] ---**
But he can see them.
**[11:20] ---**
And that's exactly why he's
performed as well as he has.
**[11:23] ---**
Why?
**[11:26] ---**
Why did you know about me?
**[11:31] ---**
Because you're an alien.
**[11:35] ---**
Hey, have you ever seen trapars, Elena?
**[11:37] ---**
If it's perfect otaku pitch, I have it!
**[11:40] ---**
That means Ao's been seeing the
world differently than we do, right?
**[11:44] ---**
That sounds like a line from an anime.
**[11:47] ---**
It's not, though.
**[11:49] ---**
Thirteen years ago, Japan time, April 12th.
**[11:56] ---**
April 12th...
**[11:58] ---**
You haven't heard?
**[12:05] ---**
Nirvash!
**[12:07] ---**
The US military in Okinawa
immediately called for a scramble.
**[12:10] ---**
This is their footage.
**[12:13] ---**
Anma!
**[12:17] ---**
How dare you show him something
like this out of the blue?
**[12:20] ---**
We should have told you much earlier.
**[12:23] ---**
As you can see, the Mark I Nirvash
emerged from the pillar of light.
**[12:28] ---**
Just like the Scub Corals and Secrets.
**[12:30] ---**
In other words, from another world.
**[12:33] ---**
Another world? Where is that?
**[12:36] ---**
According to Johansson...
**[12:37] ---**
That unscientific crap!
**[12:40] ---**
Anm... Where is my mother now?
**[12:44] ---**
As I told you before, she's been
missing since ten years ago and...
**[12:47] ---**
Why are you keeping it a secret?
**[12:49] ---**
At the Scub Burst off the coast of Okinawa,
**[12:52] ---**
all that was found was the
Nirvash without its pilot.
**[12:57] ---**
The person from the other world
known as Eureka is likely no longer...
**[13:05] ---**
There are almost no trapars in space,
so Ao has no piloting advantage.
**[13:11] ---**
Having him participate in this mission
as things stand is dangerous.
**[13:15] ---**
As I have been proposing for some time,
**[13:16] ---**
he should stay here to reside on the
Proteus under investigative custody.
**[13:20] ---**
So, in spite of being out in space,
you expressly sent for Pied Piper
**[13:24] ---**
because you were planning to abduct Ao!
**[13:26] ---**
Abduct?! That is what *you* people have done!
**[13:30] ---**
I am against using Ao in combat.
**[13:33] ---**
It may be that he is being
forced to fight his own kind.
**[13:37] ---**
Mom... Chief...
**[13:41] ---**
If you stay here, you'll be the same
as one of my children. Okay?
**[13:47] ---**
I'm going.
**[13:48] ---**
Ao?
**[13:50] ---**
I'll show you that I can fly properly.
**[13:58] ---**
Ao, I'll do the navigation.
**[14:01] ---**
You'll just be the Rocket Punch
that flies straight anyway.
**[14:04] ---**
Thank you, both of you.
**[14:12] ---**
The Kyrie and the Alleluia
will divert the Secret's attack.
**[14:15] ---**
While they do, the Nirvash
will charge towards the Secret,
**[14:19] ---**
destroying it upon reaching maximum proximity,
**[14:21] ---**
and then rebound from that to change its orbit.
**[14:23] ---**
By making contact, or rather,
by colliding with the giant Scub Coral,
**[14:28] ---**
the Nirvash will decelerate and
change its orbit at the same time,
**[14:30] ---**
rendezvousing with the Triton.
**[14:32] ---**
So this is the best we can do
with the fuel they can carry.
**[14:35] ---**
If he fails to make contact with the Scub,
he'll plummet straight to Earth.
**[14:39] ---**
If that should happen, I'll use the
Triton to do whatever it takes.
**[14:47] ---**
That's the Secret.
**[14:50] ---**
It is approaching the Scub with the
same velocity as when it appeared.
**[14:54] ---**
It has no noticeable propulsion apparatus,
**[14:56] ---**
so there should be no worries
of it changing its orbit.
**[15:04] ---**
As was true underwater, you cannot
count on trapars to blind it in space.
**[15:08] ---**
You have already been detected by the Secret.
**[15:10] ---**
Exercise full caution.
**[15:12] ---**
It's like a jack-in-the-box.
**[15:21] ---**
Raising fireworks to draw its fire.
**[15:23] ---**
Please do!
**[15:33] ---**
Igniting Stage 2 rockets!
**[15:38] ---**
Go, Ao.
**[15:43] ---**
I guess I really was an alien...
**[15:47] ---**
If Anma was, then so am I...
**[15:50] ---**
Where did I come from?
**[15:54] ---**
Tell me, Secret!
**[16:11] ---**
Ao!
**[16:11] ---**
We can't! We're almost out of fuel, too!
**[16:27] ---**
Please enter the orbit to
rendezvous with the Scub.
**[16:30] ---**
I know!
**[16:34] ---**
All right, once we pick up Alleluia and Kyrie,
**[16:37] ---**
adjust orbit to head for the
rendezvous point with Nirvash.
**[16:40] ---**
Wait! What is this?
**[16:48] ---**
A railgun?!
**[16:49] ---**
It's a Japanese satellite!
**[16:51] ---**
A malfunction?!
**[16:52] ---**
They have some nerve telling us that.
**[17:01] ---**
This is not good.
**[17:03] ---**
What do you mean?
**[17:05] ---**
The Scub's orbit has shifted
and it has begun to descend.
**[17:08] ---**
The direction of its velocity
matches that of the Nirvash.
**[17:11] ---**
So?! What does that mean?!
**[17:18] ---**
My orbit hasn't changed?!
**[17:20] ---**
It has begun to descend on roughly
the same orbit as the Nirvash,
**[17:24] ---**
so even after collision,
**[17:25] ---**
the Nirvash, with its small mass,
will only decelerate,
**[17:28] ---**
and the orbit of both objects will not change.
**[17:31] ---**
Both will merely fall together,
drawn by Earth's gravity.
**[17:34] ---**
This is an elementary law of physics.
**[17:37] ---**
What?!
**[17:37] ---**
Nirvash's descent remains unchecked!
**[17:40] ---**
Ao, get away from the Scub!
**[17:41] ---**
Ao!
**[17:43] ---**
He's going to crash.
**[17:46] ---**
Ao Fukai, am I kind?
**[17:53] ---**
We have the orbit calculated!
**[17:57] ---**
They will fall into the atmosphere...
**[18:00] ---**
The Scub Coral will burn up,
**[18:03] ---**
and fortunately, there are no
satellites in collision orbits,
**[18:07] ---**
so it will produce no debris, but...
**[18:10] ---**
However, the Nirvash will
also be unable to endure
**[18:12] ---**
the high temperatures of reentry into
the atmosphere, and it will burn up.
**[18:15] ---**
We can't let that happen! Do something, Dad!
**[18:18] ---**
Fleur, wait to be picked up by the Triton.
**[18:23] ---**
There's nothing you two can do.
**[18:25] ---**
You're going to abandon him?!
**[18:26] ---**
Abandon Ao?! Because he's an alien?!
**[18:28] ---**
Fleur!
**[18:30] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[18:37] ---**
Just as I thought, it was too much to ask.
**[18:39] ---**
It's not your fault, Mom.
**[18:41] ---**
Ao, once you enter the stratosphere,
there will be trapars.
**[18:44] ---**
There's a chance you'll be able
to use them to decelerate.
**[18:47] ---**
But if I burn up before then...
**[18:49] ---**
Don't give up. You...
**[18:52] ---**
My anma's already gone, right?
**[18:54] ---**
No matter how kind
that Mom is, she's not Anma.
**[18:58] ---**
And you all kept that from me!
**[18:59] ---**
So what of it?!
**[19:01] ---**
I won't let any of you die!
**[19:04] ---**
I'll save you, even if it means
letting the Triton burn up!
**[19:07] ---**
I'm coming over there right now!
**[19:09] ---**
Wait for me!
**[19:11] ---**
I...
**[19:13] ---**
I'm...
**[19:21] ---**
Ao...
**[19:38] ---**
Huh?
**[19:39] ---**
Get in, Ao! Get as far inside as you can!
**[19:58] ---**
What's that?
**[20:15] ---**
A ship?!
**[20:55] ---**
Is that person saying to use this as a board?
**[21:32] ---**
Time to fly.
**[22:23] ---**
My name is Eureka.
**[22:25] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[22:27] ---**
Oh? Your hair...
**[22:31] ---**
An... ma...
**[22:34] ---**
"To Be Continued"
**[22:35] ---**
To be continued.

*The pounding beat of my heart*
**[22:45] ---**
*Had become a familiar part
of me before I knew it*

*But over time that comes and goes*

*Single-mindedly*

*Following those joined hands*
**[23:40] ---**
*"So I never let you go!!" Those words*

Next time on *Eureka Seven AO*.
**[24:15] ---**
Mother-and-son time comes
unexpectedly aboard the Gekko.
**[24:19] ---**
Ao feels bewildered by
Eureka's ingenuous demeanor.
**[24:22] ---**
The new truth that she makes known
**[24:24] ---**
calls forth a storm that shakes
the foundation of this world.
**[24:28] ---**
*Eureka Seven AO*, Episode 13.
