O God, who has wondrously created
the boundless expanse of blue sea,
[02:04] ---
please protect these comrades
as they journey on the sea.
[02:06] ---
O Lord, who formed even the surging waves
and raging winds according to Your great will,
[02:12] ---
please protect these comrades
as they journey on the sea.
[02:14] ---
O Spirit, who calms the
chaotic, bottomless depths
[02:17] ---
and envelops us in Your loving protection,
[02:20] ---
please protect these comrades
as they journey on the sea.
[02:22] ---
O God, source of blessed power, please
protect them even in times of danger,
[02:27] ---
and please guide them safely
to the harbor which they seek.
[02:32] ---
Now then, we will now be heading
directly to the zone of operation.
[02:35] ---
Board ship!
[02:36] ---
"Hong Kong in Two"
[02:37] ---
These brain waves in the 30-50
Hz range are called gamma waves.
[02:42] ---
Apparently a Lambda Driver is capable
of generating a repulsive force field
[02:45] ---
only when the strength of these
waves exceeds a certain set level.
[02:50] ---
However, research up to this point indicates
[02:52] ---
that it is difficult for an individual to
generate powerful gamma waves intentionally,
[02:56] ---
not to mention continuously.
[02:58] ---
There is a method for producing
a similar response artificially
[03:01] ---
by administering a drug called Type Ti970,
[03:05] ---
which can only by synthesized at a limited
number of chemical plants. However...
[03:08] ---
In other words?
[03:09] ---
It means using a Lambda Driver for a long
period of time is probably impossible.
[03:15] ---
Excluding exceptions like
the Behemoth, of course.
[03:17] ---
That may be so, but...
[03:19] ---
if the enemy uses one, there's
nothing we can do about it.
[03:22] ---
It's almost like, why even bother
with this conversation anyway?
[03:24] ---
We do have the Arbalest, though.
[03:28] ---
But if it fails to activate
again like in Nanking...
[04:19] ---
Al.
[04:20] ---
Check. Identity confirmed
as Sergeant Sagara.
[04:22] ---
Yes, Sergeant?
[04:23] ---
How are you?
[04:25] ---
The results of the check performed
today at 1730 hours were satisfactory.
[04:29] ---
The individual responsible for performing
the check was First Lieutenant Sachs.
[04:31] ---
The maintenance record
number is 051021-01B-F-001.
[04:37] ---
Would you like to view this record?
[04:42] ---
If you would like to perform a second check,
[04:44] ---
it is necessary to change
the current settings.
[04:48] ---
End training mode, connect to an
external power source, then...
[04:51] ---
I only woke you up on a whim.
[04:54] ---
Training message.
[04:55] ---
Please explain the meaning
of the word "whim."
[04:59] ---
Try deducing it on your own.
[05:01] ---
Roger. Complete.
[05:03] ---
Shall I show you the
results of my deductions?
[05:05] ---
Go ahead.
[05:06] ---
The meaning of "whim":
[05:07] ---
Most likely match:
[05:08] ---
A concept similar to "discretion" or "doubt."
[05:11] ---
Second possible match: A concept similar
to "enthusiasm" or "diligence."
[05:15] ---
Third possible match: A concept
similar to "disorder" or "erratic."
[05:19] ---
Fourth possible match: A
concept similar to "play."
[05:22] ---
You know what "play" is?
[05:24] ---
Affirmative. Is that the concept of a "whim"?
[05:27] ---
It's close to "play" and "erratic."
[05:29] ---
Roger. Thank you for your cooperation.
[05:32] ---
Who taught you what "play" is?
[05:34] ---
Senior staff member Bani Morauta, Sergeant.
[05:37] ---
The engineer who made you?
[05:39] ---
Affirmative.
[05:40] ---
Your lousy father, huh?
[05:43] ---
Training message.
[05:44] ---
What is the meaning of "lousy"?
[05:47] ---
Stop saying "Training
message" every single time.
[05:50] ---
It means a weapons system that doesn't
function properly at arbitrary times.
[05:53] ---
In other words, you.
[05:55] ---
Affirmative.
[05:56] ---
The ARX system is incomplete.
[05:59] ---
You admit it?
[06:00] ---
Affirmative.
[06:01] ---
And you are part of the cause.
[06:04] ---
What did you say?
[06:05] ---
The ARX system includes you as a part of it.
[06:09] ---
It is not complete without your cooperation.
[06:12] ---
Please tell me your problem.
[06:14] ---
If you do, I may be able to
give you some sort of advice.
[06:19] ---
Advice? From you?
[06:22] ---
Affirmative.
[06:23] ---
I don't have any problem.
[06:25] ---
I do not think that is true.
[06:26] ---
Why not?
[06:27] ---
My intuition.
[06:29] ---
Intuition?
[06:30] ---
Who taught you the word "intuition"?
[06:33] ---
Then tell your "intuition" to
stop making absurd accusations.
[06:37] ---
Your order is nonsense.
[06:40] ---
"Intuition" cannot be
controlled or persuaded.
[06:43] ---
It comes from deep within the soul.
[06:47] ---
You're the one who's saying nonsense.
[06:49] ---
Stop kidding around with me!
[06:50] ---
Sousuke?
[06:51] ---
Sousuke, are you there?
[06:53] ---
What is it?
[06:54] ---
The lieutenant commander is
calling us. It's a mission.
[06:57] ---
Mission...
[07:00] ---
I believe you already know this,
[07:03] ---
but an AS of unknown affiliation
has appeared in Hong Kong.
[07:06] ---
This unit, working alone, has
repeatedly caused destruction,
[07:09] ---
and is believed to still be in
hiding somewhere in the city.
[07:13] ---
The armies of both North and
South China have taken damage.
[07:16] ---
From this coupled with the incident
in Nanking the other day,
[07:18] ---
both countries are in a critically tense
situation, as you can see on this map.
[07:22] ---
At this rate, the agreement between
them could be dissolved at any moment,
[07:25] ---
turning the divided Hong
Kong into a battleground.
[07:28] ---
It is impossible to tell what the political
outcome of this situation will be.
[07:31] ---
First Lieutenant Clouseau
will take it from here.
[07:34] ---
So there it is, huh?
[07:36] ---
This was taken 26 hours ago,
[07:38] ---
near Yau Ma Tei on the Kowloon peninsula.
[07:42] ---
We believe it is most likely the same
machine which we fought in Helmajistan.
[07:46] ---
It destroyed one of the South
China Army's armored vehicles,
[07:49] ---
then used a smoke bomb and disappeared.
[07:52] ---
Since then, it's appeared then disappeared
in various places in Hong Kong and Kowloon,
[07:55] ---
continuing to destroy anything in its path.
[07:59] ---
Close to 10 AS units have been destroyed,
[08:01] ---
and there have been numerous casualties.
[08:04] ---
Both the Northern and Southern
Armies are unable to destroy it,
[08:07] ---
they can't tell where it is, and they can't
find any trends in its movements, either.
[08:09] ---
Considering what we've seen in the past,
[08:11] ---
this machine is probably equipped with
the ability to become invisible as well.
[08:14] ---
What's that terrorist after?
[08:16] ---
Unknown.
[08:17] ---
No one has claimed responsibility.
[08:19] ---
If I had to guess, I'd say the objective is
probably to reignite the Chinese civil war
[08:22] ---
or to destroy Hong Kong's economy.
[08:24] ---
Or,
[08:26] ---
this could be a challenge meant for us.
[08:28] ---
However, no matter what
kind of machine it is,
[08:30] ---
it can't run at full capacity
for 24 hours alone.
[08:34] ---
After a fight, the ammunition
needs to be replenished,
[08:35] ---
simple maintenance needs to be done,
[08:37] ---
and the operator must
need at least some rest.
[08:40] ---
First, we need to figure
out where he's hiding,
[08:43] ---
then we will dispatch a single M9
platoon to surround him undetected,
[08:45] ---
launch a surprise attack,
and finally subdue him.
[08:48] ---
To do that, I'll need all of
you to run reconnaissance.
[08:50] ---
Reconnaissance?
[08:51] ---
This will be a joint mission between us and
the Intelligence Division's Hong Kong branch.
[08:54] ---
They will provide the necessary know-how,
[08:56] ---
and you are to use it to
locate the enemy's hideout.
[08:59] ---
We'll surface while it's still night,
and you'll leave by helicopter.
[09:01] ---
Fly to Hong Kong one step
ahead of everyone else.
[09:04] ---
Sousuke, too?
[09:05] ---
Correct.
[09:06] ---
How about having Sousuke
stand by with the Arbalest?
[09:09] ---
The plan is to not use the
Arbalest for this mission.
[09:13] ---
Why?
[09:13] ---
Because it's unreliable!
[10:32] ---
"Hong Kong Special Ward: Mid-Level"
[10:37] ---
When I look at it from up here, it
doesn't seem much different from before.
[10:41] ---
You've been here before?
[10:43] ---
A few times, before it was
returned to the mainland.
[10:45] ---
Relatives on my mother's side
used to live close to here.
[10:50] ---
Before I came to Mithril,
[10:51] ---
I freeloaded off of them
for about two months.
[10:53] ---
Just loafing around.
[10:54] ---
Loafing around, huh?
[10:56] ---
This was after I got booted from the Marines.
[10:59] ---
I didn't feel like working,
[11:01] ---
and I didn't want to go back to
my parents in New York either.
[11:04] ---
My dad was always pestering me.
[11:05] ---
Damn Air Force bastard...
[11:08] ---
Your father was a military man?
[11:10] ---
That's right.
[11:11] ---
A dingbat bomber pilot.
[11:13] ---
He's retired and running
a company now, though.
[11:16] ---
He's always been a tightwad and
a coward, but he acts all cocky,
[11:19] ---
and on top of that, he's
always plotting something.
[11:21] ---
Plotting?
[11:22] ---
Yeah.
[11:23] ---
When I graduated high school
and was looking for a real job,
[11:25] ---
he pulled a bunch of strings to try to
get me married to some rich Harvard guy.
[11:31] ---
It pissed me off, of course.
[11:33] ---
So to get back at him,
[11:34] ---
right on the day of the wedding,
I went and joined the Marines!
[11:37] ---
Oh, man...
[11:39] ---
I snuck out of the chapel alone
[11:40] ---
and went to a recruiting
office four blocks away,
[11:43] ---
still in my wedding dress.
[11:45] ---
The corporal on duty got this wide-eyed
look on his face, and asked me,
[11:48] ---
"Are you serious?"
[11:50] ---
I said "Of course!"
[11:52] ---
Everyone there tried to
convince me not to do it.
[11:55] ---
They said, "Listen, Miss Bride,
I think you should reconsider."
[11:58] ---
"I'm sure your parents would be sad."
[12:00] ---
Then I told them, "My dad
is in the Air Force."
[12:04] ---
When they heard that, they all said at once,
[12:06] ---
"Then that makes things simple.
[12:07] ---
Please sign these documents."
[12:11] ---
What do you think about a woman like that?
[12:13] ---
It's the best! So cool! Right, Woo?
[12:16] ---
Yeah, seriously! The best!
[12:20] ---
The best, huh?
[12:22] ---
Yeah, that time really was the best...
[12:26] ---
The moment I made my decision,
[12:27] ---
it felt like the whole world opened
up, without any boundaries.
[12:30] ---
It felt like I could do
anything, and go anywhere.
[12:35] ---
Anywhere?
[12:38] ---
Of course, a lot has happened since then.
[12:41] ---
I've experienced horrible
frustration and disappointment.
[12:44] ---
But I think I really did
the right thing then.
[12:47] ---
I've gotten to like myself
a lot more than before.
[12:51] ---
Well, that's my story.
[12:54] ---
Anyway, coming to this city triggered
some memories, that's all.
[12:57] ---
Don't think about it too much.
[13:01] ---
Phew, sorry to keep you waiting.
[13:04] ---
I'm Hunter, from the Hong Kong branch
of the Intelligence Division.
[13:09] ---
This goes without saying,
[13:11] ---
but both the Northern and Southern
armies have become downright nervous.
[13:15] ---
We must act secretly, and avoid provoking
either party as much as possible.
[13:20] ---
Because of the strict security,
both armies have almost completely
[13:22] ---
suspended any movement
in either North or South.
[13:24] ---
The harbor is closed, and
most flights are cancelled.
[13:28] ---
Because of that, stock prices and
the exchange rate have plummeted.
[13:31] ---
There don't seem to be many
ways out of this situation.
[13:34] ---
So, what about the AS causing this mess?
[13:36] ---
We still can't get a fix
on its location at all.
[13:40] ---
It last appeared at 1015 hours,
[13:43] ---
in Shau Kei Wan in Hong Hong.
[13:45] ---
You're positive it's hiding somewhere
in the Hong Kong area, right?
[13:48] ---
I can't confirm it, but our
analysts and AI think so.
[13:53] ---
And so does my intuition gained
by long years of experience!
[13:56] ---
We went ahead and pinpointed
possible locations.
[14:00] ---
How about it?
[14:05] ---
Excluding the suburbs and small islands,
[14:08] ---
we'll search all other areas from
the sky with our helicopters.
[14:11] ---
I don't think anti-ECS sensors will
be usable within an urban area,
[14:14] ---
so we'll have to go street by street.
[14:17] ---
Also, there's no need to search
areas with a lot of doves or crows.
[14:20] ---
Why birds?
[14:22] ---
It seems birds can see AS units.
[14:25] ---
Probably because the ECS can't
hide an AS in the UV spectrum.
[14:29] ---
Crows are particularly noisy.
[14:32] ---
And dogs, too.
[14:34] ---
They're sensitive to the smell
of the ozone from the ECS.
[14:36] ---
I see.
[14:38] ---
Anything else?
[14:41] ---
I think that's all.
[14:45] ---
Sousuke?
[14:48] ---
You have anything else to add?
[14:49] ---
No, not really.
[14:54] ---
Hmm, this seems like it might work out.
[14:57] ---
Forty-nine locations in Hong Kong,
[14:59] ---
and 78 locations in Kowloon.
[15:02] ---
If we divide the search between us and
them, it could get done in one day.
[15:05] ---
If conditions are favorable, that is.
[15:11] ---
Man...
[15:11] ---
"Hunter Cleaning Co., Ltd."
[15:12] ---
That old guy seems to do a really
wide variety of business.
[15:18] ---
All right, it's time to get moving.
[15:20] ---
This place is under martial
law, so be careful.
[15:23] ---
What if the army or police
[15:24] ---
look like they're going to detain
us at one of their checkpoints?
[15:26] ---
There must be a lot of troops where Hunter
doesn't have any influence, right?
[15:29] ---
That's true.
[15:30] ---
If you can run away, then run away.
[15:32] ---
But you're not allowed to open fire.
[15:33] ---
The army guys haven't done anything wrong.
[15:36] ---
If you get caught,
[15:37] ---
you'll probably face a tough interrogation
until Hunter pulls some strings,
[15:40] ---
but keep your mouth shut,
[15:42] ---
even if you're tortured. That is all.
[15:44] ---
Man, that's harsh...
[15:45] ---
More importantly, you'd better think about
what actions to take if you sight the enemy.
[15:49] ---
I will not tolerate you getting
killed without contacting me
[15:51] ---
or getting my permission.
[15:53] ---
Understood?
[15:53] ---
Roger.
[16:24] ---
What a shock...
[16:25] ---
I've never seen Central like this before.
[16:49] ---
Now, I wonder if they'll let
us pass through without a fuss.
[16:52] ---
If Hunter's contacts are good...
[16:55] ---
"Stop!"
[16:56] ---
Mao, it's up to you.
[17:00] ---
"Understood. Open the window."
[17:05] ---
"We're from Hunter Cleaning Co., Ltd. I
believe you've been informed about us."
[17:12] ---
"What are you carrying in the back?"
[17:14] ---
"As you can see, cleaning
tools. ls there a problem?"
[17:18] ---
"No... Okay."
[17:21] ---
"He said we can pass!"
[17:33] ---
Unbelievable. This tunnel was
always jammed with traffic.
[17:38] ---
I see.
[17:39] ---
Anyone who knew what Hong Kong
was like before would be shocked.
[17:43] ---
Just try to imagine.
[17:45] ---
What if Tokyo ended up like this?
[17:49] ---
It's like if Shinjuku and
Ginza were divided into two,
[17:51] ---
and right on the brink
of war with each other.
[17:54] ---
The streets where fashionable kids
used to shop and eat ice cream
[17:59] ---
are now filled with armored
vehicles and AS units.
[18:01] ---
The bayside, which used to
be perfect for a nice walk,
[18:03] ---
is dominated by gigantic
pillboxes and bunkers.
[18:06] ---
This Hong Kong... It's abnormal!
[18:09] ---
It's insane.
[18:13] ---
Sousuke?
[18:15] ---
Is something wrong?
[18:16] ---
It's nothing.
[18:35] ---
This is a surprise.
[18:36] ---
The Southern Army's letting
us pass easily, too.
[18:41] ---
Looks like Hunter's some sort of big shot.
[19:18] ---
We're almost there.
[19:20] ---
What should we do if we hit
the jackpot right off the bat?
[19:23] ---
We won't do anything. There's always...
[19:31] ---
Sagara, calm down!
[19:33] ---
You're confused and having delusions!
[19:36] ---
Sagara!
[19:36] ---
Sousuke!
[19:44] ---
"Hey! Stop screwing around!"
[19:45] ---
"Where in the hell were you
looking?! Get out of here!"
[19:49] ---
Let me handle this. You keep your mouth shut!
[19:52] ---
I...
[19:53] ---
That's enough! Just don't do anything!
[19:56] ---
"I'm sorry, it was the driver's..."
[19:59] ---
"Quiet!"
[20:01] ---
"Get out of the car, now!"
[20:07] ---
"Wait, listen! You've got it all wrong!"
[20:09] ---
"The driver had something in his eye!"
[20:11] ---
"He couldn't help that, right?"
[20:41] ---
Sousuke!
[21:07] ---
"Confirm the damage!
Get me a report, fast!"
[21:08] ---
"There's one over here, too!"
[21:10] ---
"Someone bring a stretcher!"
[21:11] ---
"This area is now blocked off!
Contact headquarters immediately!"
[21:15] ---
This isn't the time for them to have to
deal with us, so they're letting us slide.
[21:19] ---
Let's go.
[21:21] ---
Running a red light...
[21:23] ---
You're beyond redemption.
[21:26] ---
Sorry.
[21:27] ---
Were you thinking about her or something?
[21:31] ---
Forget about her now!
[21:33] ---
If you can't do that,
[21:34] ---
get out of the car right now!
[21:38] ---
I understand your situation.
[21:39] ---
But I'm not that nice of a "big sister."
[21:43] ---
I don't wanna die a victim of your problems.
[21:47] ---
With the state you're in, I'd
be a lot safer by myself!
[21:52] ---
You're right.
[21:54] ---
Sousuke?
[21:56] ---
Sorry.
[21:58] ---
I can't do this anymore.
[22:00] ---
Continue the mission.
