[00:47] ---
    Chevalier Alaska Control. Osprey Double-Z
    Zero One. Maintain flight level 9000.
[00:54] ---
    --Osprey Double-Z Zero One. Roger.
[00:55] ---
    --It is cold.
[00:58] ---
    So...!
[00:59] ---
    U-Uhh, Rana? You're too close...
[01:02] ---
    The cold is to blame!
[01:04] ---
    O-O-Oh, right.
[01:05] ---
    I feel fine because I have this on,
    but you only have your uniform, huh?
[01:09] ---
    Is that so? Then that
    is all the more reason...!
[01:13] ---
    S-Seriously! You're too close!
[01:15] ---
    But I am about to
    freeze to death in this cold!
[01:19] ---
    Here! Feel for yourself!
[01:22] ---
    H-Hold on! What are
    you making me touch?!
[01:24] ---
    Is that not obvious?
[01:26] ---
    I-I can't do it!
[01:28] ---
    Come on! Only for a second!
[01:30] ---
    See how very cold it is?
[01:34] ---
    See?! See?!
[01:36] ---
    So I would like *you
    *to warm me up, Kazuya!
[01:40] ---
    Volt Textures do have cold
    protection and heat retention capabilities.
[01:44] ---
    Oh, do they, Satellizer?
[02:00] ---
    We're picking up a distress signal.
[02:02] ---
    Now changing course
    and proceeding to site.
[02:09] ---
    They said we're changing course...
[02:11] ---
    No one has even said where
    we are being taken in the first place...
[02:37] ---
    We are now above the
    source of the distress signal.
[02:43] ---
    However, poor visibility is
    hindering a site assessment.
[03:03] ---
    We have a visual on a Nova Type S!
[03:05] ---
    I can't believe we've suddenly
    run into a Nova all the way out here...
[03:09] ---
    Did you not pick up its dimensional
    vibrations when it appeared?!
[03:13] ---
    Given this blizzard, you can't
    expect our instruments to function properly!
[03:17] ---
    I have a full grasp of the situation.
[03:19] ---
    Wh-Who is this?
[03:21] ---
    Three kilometers ahead is a
    Chevalier petroleum storage base.
[03:26] ---
    Your priority is to stop
    the Type S and defend the base.
[03:30] ---
    D-Defend it?! With only two Pandora?!
[03:34] ---
    Reinforcements will arrive shortly.
[03:37] ---
    Shortly...
[03:38] ---
    Should the petroleum
    storage base be destroyed
[03:40] ---
    it will wreak untold destruction.
[03:43] ---
    Including seawater contamination
    from the resulting petroleum spills.
[03:46] ---
    And you're the only
    ones who can prevent that now.
[03:54] ---
    The weather is too
    rough to make a landing.
[03:57] ---
    Once the hatch is opened,
    commence combat immediately.
[04:02] ---
    What does this mean?
[04:04] ---
    We're to jump out and
    start fighting. Right now.
[04:06] ---
    Huh?
[04:07] ---
    Huh?
[04:29] ---
    Let's go!
[04:29] ---
    Understood!
[04:31] ---
    Now!
[04:42] ---
    Good luck.
[05:08] ---
    What's the plan?
[05:10] ---
    First...
[05:11] ---
    Oh...!
[05:12] ---
    S-Sorry.
[05:34] ---
    How are they so quick to respond?
[05:48] ---
    It's about to begin.
[05:50] ---
    We'll be right there, Doctor.
[06:10] ---
    They did it!
[06:13] ---
    No...
[07:09] ---
    Cruise missiles too?
[07:11] ---
    They seem too well-prepared...
[07:21] ---
    Now the real show begins.
[07:24] ---
    Pay close attention.
[07:32] ---
    That's the Pandora that
    protected West Genetics in Japan
[07:34] ---
    during the Tenth Nova Clash...
[07:46] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy.
[07:51] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy!
[07:58] ---
    Attention, Pandora ground team.
[08:00] ---
    It'd be risky to face it head-on.
[08:02] ---
    Enable tracking marker.
[08:04] ---
    Warning. 0.5 miles to glacier
    terminus from present location.
[08:08] ---
    Beware of crevasses during combat--
[08:10] ---
    I'll lure the Nova.
[08:12] ---
    Rana Linchen. You'll...
[08:14] ---
    ...bury it alive, right?!
[08:16] ---
    I'll give you support, Satelli, ma'am!
[08:20] ---
    Here I go!
[09:15] ---
    Sacred Gate Eight Extremities Fist...
[09:17] ---
    ...Flame Fang!
[09:35] ---
    That was very easy for a Nova!
[09:38] ---
    It was especially weak.
[09:55] ---
    Ma'am!
[09:57] ---
    Rana!
[09:59] ---
    Kazuya!
[10:04] ---
    Look out!
[10:22] ---
    Chiffon Fairchild?
[10:32] ---
    Elizabeth Mably too?
[10:34] ---
    Are you all right?
[10:35] ---
    What are you doing here?
[10:37] ---
    Andrei. Take care of him.
[10:40] ---
    Yes, my lady.
[10:42] ---
    Satellizer and Rana,
    you're on Decoy duty!
[10:45] ---
    I'll serve as the Striker.
[10:47] ---
    Elizabeth, you're the Finisher.
[10:56] ---
    Get ready, Yujin!
[10:58] ---
    You can count on me, Sis!
[11:00] ---
    Ereinbar Set!
[11:09] ---
    This Nova...! I knew it!
[11:23] ---
    West Genetics' Pandora are
    even better than the rumors say.
[11:27] ---
    Japan is under Gengo Aoi's care.
[11:30] ---
    Maria Lancelot's holy remains
    are enshrined there as well.
[11:34] ---
    That's why so many prestigious
    debutantes have gathered there.
[11:39] ---
    Debutantes, huh?
[11:41] ---
    I'm guessing they are too...
[11:49] ---
    It's odd.
[11:51] ---
    You noticed too, Elizabeth?
[11:53] ---
    Yes.
[11:54] ---
    Rumor had it these Nova dummies
    were being developed in Alaska.
[11:59] ---
    All the excessive preparedness
    for the assault makes sense
[12:03] ---
    when you look at this as a test run.
[12:07] ---
    So they faked the distress call,
[12:09] ---
    sent us down here
    while keeping us in the dark,
[12:12] ---
    and involved us in an exercise?
[12:14] ---
    Elizabeth and I were told
    it was for disaster-relief, actually...
[12:18] ---
    Whatever the case...
[12:21] ---
    ...someone was testing us.
[12:23] ---
    I can't wait to see what awaits us in Alaska.
[12:29] ---
    Do not look!
[12:31] ---
    Huh?
[12:34] ---
    You can simply use your
    Volt Texture, can you not?
[12:42] ---
    Are you all right?
[12:44] ---
    Huh?
[12:44] ---
    Miss Satellizer beat you up and all!
[12:47] ---
    You're overreacting, Rana.
[12:49] ---
    I am not overreacting at all.
[12:51] ---
    You are my Limiter, after all!
[12:54] ---
    S-Since when is Kazuya your Limiter?!
[12:57] ---
    He's mine!
[12:59] ---
    You have not yet held a
    baptism with Kazuya, correct?
[13:06] ---
    Because of her conceited,
    no-contact attitude all the time,
[13:11] ---
    I think she would
    be best as your helper.
[13:15] ---
    H-Helper?! G-Get serio--
[13:19] ---
    I suggest you take
    things a little more seriously.
[13:21] ---
    Right!
[13:22] ---
    Yeah, Rana.
[13:24] ---
    We were sent to provide the E-Pandora
    Laboratory with data, remember?
[13:28] ---
    I-Is that so?
[13:30] ---
    Wait, what is an E-Pandora?
[13:33] ---
    An artificial Pandora.
[13:38] ---
    As evidenced in the
    recent Tenth Nova Clash,
[13:42] ---
    Nova appearances have grown
    more frequent with each new occurrence.
[13:46] ---
    To counter this, Chevalier
    General Command has announced
[13:49] ---
    its adoption of a new Pandora plan:
[13:51] ---
    "Scarlet Ohara"
[13:52] ---
    the E-Pandora Project,
    spearheaded by Dr. Scarlet Ohara.
[13:57] ---
    Upon turning eleven years old,
[13:59] ---
    all girls are required to
    take a Pandora aptitude test.
[14:02] ---
    "Focus on artificial Stigmata implantation"
    "Hoping for results from volunteer system"
[14:03] ---
    Only girls deemed
    Stigmata-compatible
[14:07] ---
    are allowed to live as Pandora.
[14:09] ---
    Of course, these girls
    are free to accept or decline
[14:12] ---
    the offer to become Pandora,
[14:14] ---
    but there are also
    girls who wish to fight
[14:17] ---
    but cannot become Pandora due
    to incompatibility issues.
[14:22] ---
    This E-Pandora Project
    allows ordinary, incompatible girls
[14:25] ---
    --to become Pandora by implanting
    artificially-created Stigmata.
[14:30] ---
    --So, you see,
[14:31] ---
    --it tastes like a Kunlun
    harmony of fragrant flavors
[14:31] ---
    --It is a truly revolutionary breakthrough.
[14:33] ---
    --that spread in your mouth...
[14:34] ---
    --However, Dr. Gengo Aoi,
    Chevalier's Nova consultant...
[14:35] ---
    --That restaurant's pasta does?
[14:36] ---
    --Yes! You shall go too on your next day off!
[14:39] ---
    --...had persistently opposed the
    project, citing its unethical nature.
[14:44] ---
    Dr. Aoi! Do you now approve of it too?!
    If you could give a few words!
[14:44] ---
    "Gengo Aoi"
[14:48] ---
    My personal opinions are irrelevant,
    now that the project's been authorized.
[14:53] ---
    If this project works, can we actually
    refer to these girls as "Pandora"?
[14:59] ---
    I see... Grandpa is...
[15:01] ---
    Moving on, Seiga Heavy
    Industries was the center of--
[15:04] ---
    Artificial or not, a Pandora is a Pandora.
[15:10] ---
    I assume there will be more than
    a few who volunteer to be E-Pandora
[15:13] ---
    for the status and fame they'll
    be guaranteed after their tour of duty.
[15:18] ---
    But right now, very few girls
    verified to be Stigmata-compatible
[15:21] ---
    actually go on to become Pandora.
[15:23] ---
    A mere two percent.
[15:26] ---
    Because everyone is fully aware
[15:29] ---
    that many Pandora have
    lost their lives fighting the Nova.
[15:35] ---
    Under such circumstances,
[15:37] ---
    I certainly can't say I approve of the
    idea of rejecting Pandora volunteers
[15:41] ---
    simply on the basis that
    they're the product of artificial means.
[15:45] ---
    Not to mention that
    this will help alleviate
[15:47] ---
    the serious, worldwide
    shortage of Pandora.
[15:52] ---
    Do you really believe so?
[15:59] ---
    That must be it!
    The E-Pandora Laboratory!
[16:29] ---
    It looks like it used to
    be a big industrial plant.
[16:32] ---
    It's the perfect location to
    keep something covered-up.
[16:36] ---
    Huh?
[16:37] ---
    Oh, she's just kidding!
[16:39] ---
    Yeah, I thought so...
[17:04] ---
    Stigma memory area formatted.
    Trigger setup complete.
[17:08] ---
    Now idling in buffering mode.
[17:10] ---
    Rewrite system engaged.
[17:12] ---
    --Texture installation
    system now ready for scan.
[17:12] ---
    --Quantization gate enabled.
    All numbers normal.
[17:16] ---
    Commencing scan.
[17:19] ---
    We will now install Volt Texture
    data into each of you.
[17:23] ---
    Volt Texture data?
[17:28] ---
    I see. Purpose-built for this facility...
[17:34] ---
    Oh, it has better cold protection and
    heat retention than the Genetics data!
[17:46] ---
    Oh!
[17:48] ---
    Look at all these people here!
[17:50] ---
    Skilled Pandora like you
[17:53] ---
    have been called here from
    Genetics facilities around the world!
[17:56] ---
    Didn't you know?
[17:57] ---
    O-O-Oh, that is right!
[18:01] ---
    Yo! Chiffon!
[18:04] ---
    It's been a while!
[18:06] ---
    Yes, not since the World Carnival!
[18:08] ---
    Yeah! Although you beat me then...
[18:12] ---
    You girls haven't properly
    met her yet, have you?
[18:15] ---
    She's Roxanne Elipton
    of Genetics America (US).
[18:20] ---
    You gals can call me Roxanne the Immortal!
[18:23] ---
    Y-Y-You are immortal?!
[18:28] ---
    In other words, she's a zombie.
[18:30] ---
    What?!
[18:31] ---
    I see you're still as uncouth as ever.
[18:33] ---
    Who's she?
[18:35] ---
    Charles Bonaparte of Genetics France (LDT).
[18:39] ---
    Also known as the Young Tempest Phoenix.
[18:42] ---
    Satellizer!
[18:46] ---
    It's good to see you, Satellizer!
[18:48] ---
    Cathy Lockharte!
[18:50] ---
    Oh! You are the Godspeed of the East
[18:52] ---
    who fought as the lesbian nude cheetah!
[18:55] ---
    Lesbian?
[18:57] ---
    Oh, don't worry about it.
    She's not very bright.
[19:04] ---
    65 centimeters under. 83 centimeters on top.
    An 18 centimeter difference.
[19:07] ---
    Bra size of 65D.
[19:09] ---
    H-How can you tell all that?!
[19:12] ---
    She's Julia Munberk of
    Genetics Germany (PANZER).
[19:16] ---
    Also known as the Maverick of Walpurgis.
[19:20] ---
    Look! It's the world's five strongest!
[19:24] ---
    The world's five strongest?
[19:27] ---
    Those four...
[19:28] ---
    ...and the Unparalleled Monster, aka Chiffon.
[19:31] ---
    Together, they're the current Top
    5 of all third-year Genetics members.
[19:35] ---
    Your own skill is right
    behind theirs, of course.
[19:38] ---
    My opponent in the World Carnival,
[19:42] ---
    Holly Rose of Genetics Britain (UK),
    is more proficient than I am.
[19:45] ---
    Has she not been summoned here?
[19:48] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    I don't see her anywhere...
[19:51] ---
    Attention, all Pandora.
[19:53] ---
    Please conduct your
    Volt Texture equipping tests
[19:55] ---
    in the designated fitting rooms.
[19:58] ---
    --Report any equipping errors
    to the support center immediately.
[20:01] ---
    --Volt Texture, equip!
[20:09] ---
    Oh, I like it!
[20:10] ---
    Naked's so much nicer and easier...
[20:13] ---
    ...but Volt Texture, equip!
[20:21] ---
    Awright!
[20:23] ---
    Your undergarment Texture
    is as crude as ever.
[20:26] ---
    Hey!
[20:26] ---
    Have you changed clothes yet, Satellizer?
[20:29] ---
    It feels very comfortable!
[20:32] ---
    What is it, Second Year?
[20:35] ---
    I can't wear such a short skirt!
[20:48] ---
    I am Scarlet Ohara,
    head of the E-Pandora Project.
[20:56] ---
    The aim of the E-Pandora Project
[20:58] ---
    is to artificially produce
    Stigmata-compatible subjects.
[21:02] ---
    For that, I will need the
    data of you, the original Pandora.
[21:09] ---
    Once this project gets underway,
[21:12] ---
    we will no longer need to rely
[21:15] ---
    on the extreme rarity of
    naturally-occurring Pandora compatibility.
[21:19] ---
    You, alone, have carried
    the heavy responsibility thus far.
[21:24] ---
    The time has come for *all
    *girls to share that weight!
[21:33] ---
    Something bugs me about this...
[21:36] ---
    Rumor has it Doctor Gengo Aoi
    is still opposed
[21:38] ---
    to the guys pushing
    this project forward, right?
[21:41] ---
    Plus, I heard they got it
    almost ready for practical use
[21:44] ---
    before Chevalier ever approved it.
[21:48] ---
    Which makes it obvious
    they did human experiments.
[21:52] ---
    Is that all you have to say?
[21:59] ---
    I guess I should ask who you are.
[22:02] ---
    E-Pandora.
[22:04] ---
    Ah, so here's the product
    of human experiments!
[22:12] ---
    AVENGE WORLD!!
[22:29] ---
    To protect someone is
    to know hate for someone
[22:38] ---
    An unknown pulse
[22:39] ---
    Swallow it and it becomes
    mere hope, it falls apart with a sound
[22:45] ---
    The savage pain inside me
[22:53] ---
    is a fighting tragedy
[22:55] ---
    I never wished for this power; the stars
    to wish upon have already fallen
[23:04] ---
    This sad fate screams out loud
[23:07] ---
    Tear me apart, my loved ones
[23:12] ---
    Now, grab hold of your dream
[23:15] ---
    However much you scream about your sad fate
[23:17] ---
    light and prayers will change to betrayal
[23:23] ---
    It's time to be brought to justice
[23:25] ---
    Ah! Where did that smile go?
[23:28] ---
    The answer is nowhere
    to be seen this daybreak
[23:37] ---
    --Evolution Pandora?
[23:38] ---
    --All that matters is that they
    perform to their utmost...
[23:40] ---
    --We refuse to let you
    belittle all the hard work...
[23:41] ---
    --How can we be so different?
    We're all human!
[23:44] ---
    Next time: "Evolution Pandora."
