[00:09] ---
    Reverse, all stop!
[00:17] ---
    Well?
[00:18] ---
    For now, it doesn't look
    like there's any danger.
[00:21] ---
    But are we really gonna be okay after this?
[00:23] ---
    Yeah, sure. That tin can
    wipe out the whalesquid.
[00:29] ---
    D-Don't tell me...
[00:36] ---
    Tin can! Ledo!
[00:40] ---
    So how'd it go?
[00:42] ---
    Confirmed: All Hideauze inhabiting this
    area of the ocean have been exterminated.
[00:47] ---
    Alright! Great job!
[00:49] ---
    Hey! Get out the Yunboros!
[00:52] ---
    The legendary treasure is ours!
[00:55] ---
    Yeah!
SIGN    Island of Ambition
[02:55] ---
    Alright! Stop!
[02:59] ---
    The shaft is over there!
[03:02] ---
    Go ahead! Take it slow!
[03:06] ---
    Alright, alright!
[03:07] ---
    Alright! We're okay over there!
[03:09] ---
    Pinion! Come here a second!
[03:11] ---
    Sure!
[03:21] ---
    This looks promising, huh?
[03:22] ---
    Yeah.
[04:27] ---
    Bro...
[04:29] ---
    I wanted to drink this together.
[04:39] ---
    Pinion...
[04:42] ---
    What do you think? And this
    is just the beginning.
[04:45] ---
    So this is the grand legacy of our ancestors!
[04:49] ---
    Yep. There's even more incredible treasure
    waitin' deep inside the whalesquid nest.
[04:55] ---
    It's just like my big brother said.
[04:58] ---
    It's not rotted out at all. And there's an
    unlimited supply at the bottom of the sea.
[05:02] ---
    This is it, the treasure that will bring
    the former civilization back to the world!
[05:07] ---
    Restoring the world?
[05:09] ---
    We're the ones that found
    it! So it's our treasure!
[05:12] ---
    W-What are you saying?!
[05:14] ---
    I thought we could use this legacy to enrich
    the lives of as many people as possible!
[05:19] ---
    What's the point of the whole damn thing
    unless we enrich our own lives first?!
[05:22] ---
    If we keep it to ourselves, people
    will show up to try and steal it.
[05:26] ---
    We've got tons of weapons and ammo!
    There ain't nothin' to be afraid of!
[05:29] ---
    That's not the issue.
[05:31] ---
    We'll sink anybody that gets close to us!
[05:33] ---
    Hey! Send out a radio message!
[05:35] ---
    Spread the word that the whalesquid have
    been annihilated and that we got the treasure!
[05:39] ---
    We can't! It would only stir
    up other ships in the area!
[05:42] ---
    It'll be a warning for them to stay away!
[05:44] ---
    We're gonna send it out as far and
    wide as possible! Get it ready!
[05:50] ---
    This is a message to all
    ships that can hear this!
[05:54] ---
    We wiped out all the whalesquid that
    were livin' in the Sea of Mist!
[05:59] ---
    All the pods, all the nests, everything!
[06:02] ---
    This is Pinion! Remember me
    as Pinion of the Sea of Mist!
[06:07] ---
    Any bastards out there after the whalesquid
    nest treasure, you're too damn late!
[06:12] ---
    Don't get any funny ideas!
[06:15] ---
    The treasure is all ours!
[06:19] ---
    This is a warning to all ships! Any boats
    that get close will be sunk without mercy!
[06:27] ---
    Pinion has a valid point.
[06:29] ---
    Even you?! What's going on here?
[06:31] ---
    That being said, I'm sure pirates will
    target us. We'll need to prepare for that.
[06:35] ---
    Why do we have to assume
    that we're going to battle?
[06:38] ---
    Mr. Flange!
[06:40] ---
    You have a package.
[06:42] ---
    Come.
[06:49] ---
    Thank you.
[06:54] ---
    Is there anything else?
[06:56] ---
    I heard that Ledo killed
    all the whalesquid...
[07:01] ---
    Yes. It's true.
[07:03] ---
    Are we going to be okay?
[07:07] ---
    I don't know.
[07:09] ---
    Do you agree with all this, Mr. Flange?
[07:11] ---
    Hey!
[07:12] ---
    Of course not!
[07:20] ---
    With Ledo and Chamber around, we can
    search deep into the whalesquid nest.
[07:24] ---
    I'm fine with that.
[07:26] ---
    But not even trading what we
    bring up with other ships,
[07:30] ---
    and spouting threats to
    attack if they draw near...
[07:33] ---
    You can't stop him?! At this rate,
    we'll be treated as outcasts!
[07:38] ---
    The shipmasters that I led
    have begun to follow Pinion.
[07:45] ---
    Certainly, making use of the salvage
    requires his skills as a repairman.
[07:50] ---
    So there's little that
    can be done to stop him.
[07:52] ---
    No...
[08:18] ---
    Ensign.
[08:22] ---
    Why aren't you givin' us a hand?!
[08:24] ---
    You can take care of the salvage yourselves!
[08:28] ---
    The shaft is blocked up with salvage.
    I want the tin can to move the stuff!
[08:32] ---
    Forget it!
[08:34] ---
    What's wrong with you, Ledo?!
    What're you afraid of?
[08:38] ---
    Afraid? Me?
[08:40] ---
    Go to hell!
[08:43] ---
    I annihilated the Hideauze! I fear nothing!
[08:46] ---
    I fear...
[08:59] ---
    Joe, let's hang it up for the day!
[09:02] ---
    Alright!
[09:15] ---
    Fleet Commander, has the reorganization
    layout been finalized?
[09:18] ---
    Yes. The shipmasters were very cooperative.
[09:22] ---
    Now all we need to do is
    reset the interlocks.
[09:25] ---
    Though it's a major undertaking...
[09:27] ---
    Fleet Commander, have you
    heard Pinion's broadcast?
[09:32] ---
    Yes, of course.
[09:34] ---
    What do you think, frankly speaking?
[09:36] ---
    Until we have any factual evidence for
    his claims, there's no need to respond.
[09:41] ---
    However...
[09:43] ---
    Has word already spread across the fleet?
[09:45] ---
    There's likely not a single
    soul who doesn't know about it.
[09:47] ---
    I see...
[09:49] ---
    Of the shipmasters who believe it, there may
    be some who are envious and wish to leave.
[09:55] ---
    And if there are?
[09:58] ---
    I'll respect their wishes.
[10:02] ---
    Dr. Oldham, is it true that Ledo
    destroyed a nest of whalesquid?
[10:07] ---
    Yes. That's what Pinion
    said on a radio broadcast.
[10:11] ---
    That's terrible...
[10:14] ---
    It's stupid.
[10:16] ---
    What a stupid thing to do...
[10:30] ---
    I swore I'd get revenge for my big brother...
[10:35] ---
    You said it was just a dream, remember?
[10:47] ---
    Amy...
[10:49] ---
    I hope Melty's okay.
[10:52] ---
    It's alright, right? After all,
    it's only Pinion talking...
[10:58] ---
    Come on, Amy...
[10:59] ---
    How would I know about that?!
[11:03] ---
    I don't know...
[11:06] ---
    Ledo... Why...?
[11:28] ---
    Do they look like they're gonna surrender?
[11:30] ---
    No. But they're probably out of ammo.
[11:33] ---
    Keep attacking.
[11:34] ---
    Seriously?!
[11:35] ---
    We've got plenty of ammunition left.
[11:40] ---
    Besides, they started it.
[11:42] ---
    You're telling us to sink them?!
[11:44] ---
    Unless they put both hands up first...
[11:46] ---
    Oh, that's right! Repairs on the
    treasure should be done by now.
[11:50] ---
    Let's try it on 'em!
[11:52] ---
    Alright, alright!
[11:55] ---
    Alright, alright!
[11:58] ---
    Okay. Good enough.
[12:03] ---
    Everything's set!
[12:04] ---
    Alright! Fire!
[12:08] ---
    "Fire", he says...
[12:11] ---
    This one? Or this one?
[12:23] ---
    What are you doin'?! You got lousy aim!
[12:25] ---
    They're radioing that they surrender!
[12:27] ---
    Shoulda done that before, dumbasses.
[12:33] ---
    Yeesh. You wasted time and ammo.
[12:40] ---
    You got some guts pickin' a fight with us.
[12:45] ---
    Hey, help us!
[12:48] ---
    We'll give you all our cargo,
    just let us join up with you!
[12:52] ---
    If we accepted every plea like that,
[12:55] ---
    this place would get huge...
[12:57] ---
    Wait a second. If the fleet expands
    like this, we'll be invincible.
[13:03] ---
    And there's no end to the stuff
    we can raise from the sea bottom.
[13:06] ---
    Alright! Anybody that wants to can
    bring your things and come over!
[13:09] ---
    G-Got it!
[13:11] ---
    Old man, we've come to an agreement.
[13:15] ---
    Hey, lock this guy up somewhere!
[13:30] ---
    Ledo...
[13:34] ---
    I want the tin can to check
    out the stuff we salvaged.
[13:44] ---
    What do you say?
[13:46] ---
    The ensign's permission is required
    for anything outside of military duty.
[13:51] ---
    Yeah, fine. It's okay, right?
[13:54] ---
    Do what you want.
[13:56] ---
    Then we're good to go! Follow me!
[14:00] ---
    I can't do it without you!
[14:03] ---
    You too, tin can top dog! Let's go!
[14:17] ---
    Come on, drink!
[14:27] ---
    Good work, everybody!
[14:29] ---
    When a ship picked a fight with us, we
    made it fly the white flag in no time!
[14:35] ---
    The wind of fortune's been blowin' on us
    ever since we made this our base of operations!
[14:39] ---
    But it's all thanks to Ledo and Chamber!
[14:42] ---
    Everyone, kiss this tin
    can's ass in gratitude!
[15:04] ---
    What am I doing?
[15:10] ---
    What am I doing it for?
[15:14] ---
    Who am I doing it for?
[15:18] ---
    When did it start?
[15:19] ---
    When I first became conscious
    in this strange land?
[15:23] ---
    Or the first time I got inside
    Chamber... this Machine Caliber?
[15:30] ---
    Or since I was born?
[15:43] ---
    Well?
[15:44] ---
    It is a rudimentary electromagnetic weapon.
[15:46] ---
    Electromagnetic? What the hell is that?
[15:49] ---
    Its basic structure is no different than
    the beam armament that I am equipped with.
[15:53] ---
    Seriously?!
[15:55] ---
    However, I estimate its power
    output to be 1/50th of mine.
[16:00] ---
    Even 1/50th of your power is a big deal!
[16:04] ---
    Its power output is approximately 76 times
    greater than that of this whole fleet.
[16:09] ---
    Alright, alright! Is this thing still usable?
[16:14] ---
    It is possible to restore its
    functions through repairs.
[16:17] ---
    However, a great amount of electricity
    is required to operate it.
[16:21] ---
    Electricity, huh?
[16:23] ---
    Would it work if we harnessed the lightbugs?
[16:26] ---
    That hypothesis requires investigation.
[16:28] ---
    Then do it! I'll go tell Ledo!
[17:02] ---
    I have discovered evidence to back
    up the Hideauze video recording.
[17:06] ---
    It is the lightbugs.
[17:08] ---
    Lightbugs are nanomachines and actually
     comprise the Hideauze shell.
[17:14] ---
    They absorb electromagnetic waves and
    transform them into energy with high efficiency.
[17:19] ---
    At the same time, they are self-replicating
    and through carbon bonding,
[17:24] ---
    function as a durable exoskeleton.
[17:27] ---
    This is proof that the Hideauze are the
    results of directed evolution by the human race.
[17:31] ---
    You...
[17:35] ---
    How can you be like this?!
[17:36] ---
    Even though it thoroughly refutes the meaning
    of the Galactic Alliance's... of my battle!
[17:42] ---
    You recognize an error in your knowledge.
[17:49] ---
    Can I fight the Hideauze if
    they're the evolved human race?!
[17:54] ---
    Is there a point to fighting them?!
[17:57] ---
    If not, then I can't fight!
[18:01] ---
    I can't murder those creatures...
[18:05] ---
    Unacceptable.
[18:07] ---
    Your cognition refutes the
    significance of our existence.
[18:12] ---
    You saw them too, didn't you?! The
    forms of newborn whalesquid...
[18:18] ---
    We're the same human race and
    we're killing each other!
[18:20] ---
    That's the true nature of our war!
[18:23] ---
    Even after obtaining this information,
[18:25] ---
    there is no reason to give up
    on annihilating the Hideauze.
[18:29] ---
    That's only you!
[18:33] ---
    But for me...
[18:35] ---
    Negative. The Hideauze bring fundamental
    destruction to the human race.
[18:40] ---
    Helping to avoid that is your sole mission.
[18:44] ---
    But we're all humans!
[18:46] ---
    I've had enough of the Alliance's brainwashing!
[18:50] ---
    Negative. The parallel link between
    the Alliance and myself has been lost.
[18:55] ---
    I have arrived at this conclusion
    independently, based on information analysis.
[19:01] ---
    What?
[19:02] ---
    The human race and the Hideauze will always
    be antagonistic toward one another.
[19:06] ---
    The reason for this is they are beings who
    have rejected civilization as a whole.
[19:12] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:14] ---
    If the human race were equipped with strong,
    versatile bodies like the Hideauze,
[19:20] ---
    it would not have been necessary
    to develop Machine Calibers.
[19:25] ---
    My system is the crystallization of
    the intelligence of the human race.
[19:29] ---
    But we are also necessary to
    offset the fragile human body.
[19:35] ---
    Conjecture: Humans are beings
    that surpass their own limits,
[19:38] ---
    develop their intellect,
    and build civilizations.
[19:44] ---
    The existence of civilization is what separates
    the human race from all other primates.
[19:49] ---
    But the Hideauze have thrown away their
    human forms and have no physical limits.
[19:56] ---
    If living beings only seek out
    happiness and gratification,
[20:00] ---
    it isn't necessary for them
    to have a higher intellect.
[20:04] ---
    But the human race relies
    solely on Machine Calibers.
[20:10] ---
    That is to say, we are the crystallization
    of pure intellect, a product of civilization.
[20:15] ---
    And by overcoming even that
    intellect, the Hideauze
[20:19] ---
    have reached an extreme state of existence.
[20:23] ---
    You're saying the Hideauze
    are an extreme life form.
[20:27] ---
    And so, you and I
[20:30] ---
    must battle, with the dignity
    of the human race at stake.
[20:37] ---
    In a war with something that shares
    the same building blocks as you,
[20:40] ---
    failure means certain extinction.
[20:44] ---
    One side seeks out civilization.
    The other abandons it.
[20:48] ---
    The war between the Galactic Alliance
    of Humankind and the Hideauze
[20:51] ---
    is a conflict between two
    different survival strategies,
[20:55] ---
    one in which being culled is all
    that waits for the losing side.
[20:58] ---
    Culled...
[21:00] ---
    As long as you wish to exist, you
    don't have the luxury of a choice.
[21:05] ---
    Fight and impose our ways?
[21:08] ---
    A machine like you is
    telling a human like me...?
[21:11] ---
    I am a Pilot Support Enlightenment
    Interface System.
[21:16] ---
    By achieving more and more results, you
    will realize the importance of existence.

[21:30] ---
    It is a Galactic Alliance standard
    encrypted communication wave.
[21:33] ---
    What?!
[21:35] ---
    Identified as an allied mech.
[21:37] ---
    Allied mech?!
