[00:04] ---
    Bellows!
[00:06] ---
    You've got a delivery!
[00:08] ---
    Hey, thanks.
[00:09] ---
    Good work.
[00:11] ---
    Thank you!
[00:12] ---
    It looks like you've cheered up some.
[00:15] ---
    I can't stay sad forever.
[00:17] ---
    Apparently, Flange and the others
    are staying in the Sea of Mist.
[00:21] ---
    The Milky Way winds that direction, so if we
    stay on this course, we'll pass close by.
[00:25] ---
    We might find out how they're doing, too.
[00:27] ---
    I just hope Pinion doesn't mess things up.
[00:30] ---
    If everyone's safe, I
    don't care about the rest.
[00:33] ---
    See you!
[00:42] ---
    Hey! What is that?!
[00:48] ---
    It's huge! Don't tell me they're pirates?!
[00:51] ---
    Fleet Commander!
[00:53] ---
    Sound the alarm to all ships in the fleet!
[00:56] ---
    However, don't act carelessly.
[00:58] ---
    Order Pinion to...
[01:00] ---
    Never mind, I'll tell him.
[01:07] ---
    Ledo!
[01:09] ---
    Commander Kugel... Commander, is that you?!
[01:13] ---
    Long time no see, Ledo.
[01:15] ---
    It's great to see you alive and well.
[01:18] ---
    You too, Commander...
[01:20] ---
    I picked up your distress signal,
[01:24] ---
    but I was on the other side
    of the planet, you see.
[01:27] ---
    If you'd sent out a transmission,
    I would have gone to you.
[01:31] ---
    It was necessary to stay radio silent.
[01:34] ---
    Can you come over here?
[01:36] ---
    Yes, sir. Ensign Ledo is setting
    out to rejoin your command.
[01:42] ---
    What is that?
[01:44] ---
    Are they pirates?
[01:46] ---
    It's gigantic! We could be in deep shit!
[01:48] ---
    Pinion, wouldn't we be better off just escaping?
[01:51] ---
    Escape? Escape where?!
[01:53] ---
    Come on, we got the cannon
    and the tin can on our side.
[01:58] ---
    Let's fire a shot off their
    port bow by way of greeting.
[02:02] ---
    Yeah!
[02:02] ---
    Huh...
[02:09] ---
    Angle of elevation set!
[02:10] ---
    Ready to launch!
[02:13] ---
    Fire!
[02:14] ---
    Fire!
[02:23] ---
    How do you like that? Did
    we knock some sense...
[02:33] ---
    Wha...?!
[02:44] ---
    W-What was that?!
[02:45] ---
    It was like lightning...
[02:47] ---
    What the hell do you think
    you're doin' to my treasure?!
[02:52] ---
    What's that?
[02:53] ---
    The tin can?
[02:55] ---
    No, it's different...
[02:57] ---
    Hey, Ledo! Where's Ledo?!
[03:00] ---
    This is Ensign Ledo.
[03:02] ---
    I am now returning to the command of the
    Galactic Alliance of Humankind army.
[03:05] ---
    Hey! What are you talkin' about?!
[03:09] ---
    Ledo! Tin can!
SIGN    Supreme Ruler of Terror
[04:54] ---
    Guide signal received. Now landing.
[05:01] ---
    What are they doing?
[05:03] ---
    Unknown. Conjecture: Collective action
    to indicate military proficiency.
[05:08] ---
    These people are under military command?
[05:20] ---
    Welcome,
[05:22] ---
    envoy from the sky, clad in lightning giant.
[05:26] ---
    In the name of providence, we wish you
    blessings of prosperity and peace.
[05:30] ---
    What's she saying?
[05:32] ---
    Speculation: She used an idiomatic expression
    referring to a Machine Caliber or pilot.
[05:37] ---
    Where is Commander Kugel?
[05:40] ---
    This way.
[06:00] ---
    Follow me.
[06:16] ---
    Please wait here.
[06:28] ---
    I beg your pardon for using a holograph.
[06:30] ---
    Commander Kugel!
[06:32] ---
    I can't believe we're meeting on this
    planet! You were safe all this time!
[06:36] ---
    Not safe. I have an endemic disease.
[06:39] ---
    To remain in a sterile environment,
    I can't leave the cockpit.
[06:43] ---
    Are you okay?
[06:45] ---
    No problem.
[06:46] ---
    I see.
[06:47] ---
    Issuing orders from here
    is surprisingly a pain.
[06:50] ---
    I can imagine.
[06:52] ---
    It helps that you're here.
[06:54] ---
    Well? Will you follow me again?
[06:57] ---
    Of course, Commander!
[07:00] ---
    From Chamber K6821 to Striker X3752,
[07:06] ---
    requesting information on
    relevant endemic disease.
[07:10] ---
    From Striker X3752 to Chamber K6821,
[07:16] ---
    request granted. Transmitting information.
[07:21] ---
    Hey, we're surrounded.
[07:23] ---
    This doesn't look good.
[07:25] ---
    We've got the treasure.
[07:27] ---
    You sure we're gonna be okay?!
[07:29] ---
    Don't panic. Worse comes to
    worst, the tin can will...
[07:32] ---
    Didn't it leave a little while ago?
[07:35] ---
    It's all over...
[07:36] ---
    O-Okay, calm down.
[07:38] ---
    We don't even know what they want yet...
[07:40] ---
    They're obviously after the relics!
[07:43] ---
    How would they know about it?!
[07:45] ---
    Because you announced it to the world!
[07:48] ---
    How are you gonna get us out of this?!
[07:50] ---
    Well, I, uh... Sorry.
[07:53] ---
    Is this any time to be squabbling?
[07:55] ---
    You stay out of it!
[07:56] ---
    Look at what's going on around you.
    Then everyone return to your posts!
[08:05] ---
    Thanks for that.
[08:08] ---
    I heard the owner of that
    weapon is Ledo's friend...
[08:11] ---
    Yeah...
[08:13] ---
    Then there was more than
    one visitor from the sky...
[08:17] ---
    But what in the world does Ledo's
    friend intend to do with us?
[08:23] ---
    Emergency!
[08:26] ---
    You've got a message from the fleet!
[08:30] ---
    Flange here. What's wrong?
[08:33] ---
    They're demanding to see a representative.
[08:36] ---
    What do they want?
[08:38] ---
    They didn't say.
[08:39] ---
    They must be after the relics. I'll go.
[08:42] ---
    Wait! I'm the one who
    called the bastards over.
[08:45] ---
    I'll talk to them.
[08:47] ---
    Don't be ridiculous. I can't give you the
    responsibility of diplomatic negotiations.
[08:51] ---
    Um, actually...
[08:54] ---
    They've designated "Pinion of the
    Sea of Mist" as the representative.
[08:58] ---
    See? It's my time to shine.
[09:00] ---
    Don't be stupid...
[09:02] ---
    If you become a hostage,
[09:05] ---
    who's gonna keep the fleet together?
[09:08] ---
    I see your point, but...
[09:09] ---
    Don't worry!
[09:11] ---
    After I brought this fine state of affairs
    down upon us, nobody's gonna follow me.
[09:17] ---
    I'm gettin' what I deserve.
[09:20] ---
    Understood. Just be sure to act cautiously.
[09:24] ---
    Sure. Well, see ya later.
[09:35] ---
    Pinion!
[09:37] ---
    They're telling you to wait.
    They'll bring a boat over.
[09:40] ---
    Is that right?
[09:42] ---
    "After I brought this fine state of affairs
    down upon us, nobody's gonna follow me."
[09:45] ---
    Shut up, would ya?
[09:47] ---
    You're overreacting. People
    don't think that way.
[09:49] ---
    Oh yeah?
[09:50] ---
    You've always been a screw-up.
[09:53] ---
    Nobody's gonna wash their hands
    of you over something like this.
[09:56] ---
    That's much appreciated.
[09:58] ---
    Here it comes!
[10:03] ---
    Wha...?! Huh?
[10:04] ---
    That's...
[10:06] ---
    ...the Surfing Lobster!
[10:20] ---
    Pinion of the Sea of Mist.
    That is you, isn't it?
[10:24] ---
    Yeah. I never thought I'd meet
    the Great Pirate Lukkage here.
[10:29] ---
    You can just call me "Lukkage".
[10:33] ---
    And one more thing...
[10:35] ---
    For the time being, you'd
    best watch your tongue.
[10:39] ---
    Right...
[10:57] ---
    Everybody looks hard up. Aren't they
    gettin' enough to eat around here?
[11:01] ---
    The weak serve the strong.
[11:03] ---
    That's divine providence, apparently.
[11:10] ---
    That's their god?
[11:13] ---
    That's a lightning giant.
[11:15] ---
    They're supposed to be envoys of
    god that deliver holy judgment.
[11:20] ---
    Even as the humans of this planet
    are blessed with this environment,
[11:24] ---
    they're overwhelmed by and live
    in terror of the Hideauze.
[11:28] ---
    Our duty is teaching them how to fight
[11:31] ---
    and enlightening them about
    the dignity of the human race.
[11:35] ---
    About that, Commander...
[11:37] ---
    The Hideauze...
[11:41] ---
    They're humans!
[11:45] ---
    You mean formerly humans.
[11:48] ---
    Commander, you knew?!
[11:51] ---
    Among the higher-ups, it
    was tacitly understood.
[11:54] ---
    But for soldiers like us on the front
    line, that's unnecessary information.
[11:58] ---
    Unnecessary?
[12:00] ---
    The Hideauze just live and
    reproduce as they desire.
[12:04] ---
    They cannot be called humans.
[12:07] ---
    Yes, sir.
[12:08] ---
    The strong and the weak support
    each other through rationality.
[12:13] ---
    They each have their own ways to
    contribute and build a society.
[12:17] ---
    That's what humans are.
[12:20] ---
    That may be true, but...
[12:22] ---
    I brought order to this fleet.
[12:25] ---
    As a result of the current system,
[12:28] ---
    there's been a marked improvement in
    the level of happiness of fleet members.
[12:32] ---
    Request: Definition of
    "happiness" in this context.
[12:36] ---
    According to the philosophy
    of the Galactic Alliance,
[12:39] ---
    happiness is the realization
[12:40] ---
    of a circumstance in which the individual
    renders service to the entire group
[12:44] ---
    and the cost-benefit performance of
    that is at the greatest efficiency.
[12:47] ---
    As such, happiness is commensurate with
    the degree of stability of command.
[12:52] ---
    Agreed on the definition and the conclusion.
[12:55] ---
    Really?
[12:58] ---
    Hey, Ledo,
[13:00] ---
    how about trying to change
    this planet with me?
[13:16] ---
    Here.
[13:19] ---
    Nobody's here?
[13:32] ---
    What the hell is this?
[13:49] ---
    This is cool!
[13:52] ---
    Like this...
[13:54] ---
    How about that?
[13:57] ---
    That's right...
[13:58] ---
    Pinion of the Sea of Mist, you are
    welcome here as a distinguished guest.
[14:03] ---
    What the hell? A communication device?
[14:05] ---
    The remaining humans on Earth require
    an improvement in technical proficiency.
[14:10] ---
    This was a test to measure your technical
    ability, Pinion of the Sea of Mist.
[14:15] ---
    Conclusion: You have an aptitude for it.
[14:18] ---
    I've heard that fancy pants
    way of talking before.
[14:22] ---
    Don't tell me you're a
    relative of the tin can?
[14:28] ---
    I am a Pilot Support Enlightenment
    Interface System, Striker X3752.
[14:35] ---
    And what does the great Striker want with me?
[14:38] ---
    Your ability to repair weapons that are
    brought up from the ocean floor is admirable.
[14:44] ---
    But only emergency measures are taken as
    basic operating principles are not understood.
[14:49] ---
    Ain't my fault!
[14:50] ---
    Like I'm supposed to know how machines
    were put together way back when?
[14:54] ---
    I am prepared to provide you with
    information on their construction.
[14:59] ---
    That's...
[15:01] ---
    With your ability, you need
    not stop at repairing weapons.
[15:04] ---
    You may be able to design
    and produce new weapons.
[15:08] ---
    You're givin' me way too much credit.
[15:11] ---
    Conclusion: You have the ability
    to learn that technology.
[15:15] ---
    My final request is for you to
    become an engineering officer.
[15:20] ---
    An officer?!
[15:22] ---
    I ain't no soldier!
[15:24] ---
    More importantly, can you guarantee
    the safety of our fleet?
[15:27] ---
    It is valid human resources
    that should not be wasted.
[15:32] ---
    Wasted?
[15:34] ---
    Whatever, if you guarantee its safety,
    I guess I could help you out.
[15:38] ---
    I have great expectations of your progress.
[15:56] ---
    Please, before you dine...
[15:59] ---
    It will be over soon if
    you do as you're told.
[16:02] ---
    Who the hell do you people think you are?
[16:06] ---
    Hold still if you want
    to be finished quickly.
[16:10] ---
    This is Pinion of the Sea of
    Mist to my fellow human beings.
[16:13] ---
    Commitment and cooperation
    are what make humans human.
[16:17] ---
    By joining the Flange fleet
    with the Kugel fleet,
[16:21] ---
    we would acquire even more
    prosperity and peace.
[16:25] ---
    I seek a wise judgment from my fellow humans.
[16:29] ---
    Is what it says...
[16:30] ---
    It's a nice way of demanding
    that we surrender.
[16:33] ---
    Fleet Commander...
[16:35] ---
    Though we have no choice but to accept...
[16:59] ---
    Am I addressing the fleet commander?
[17:01] ---
    Indeed.
[17:03] ---
    You have my respect for making a wise choice.
[17:07] ---
    I would like to believe that it was made
    amicably. But what are you trying to do?
[17:11] ---
    They mean to split up the fleet!
[17:14] ---
    What?!
[17:16] ---
    Each ship will be requisitioned
    separately, according to their use.
[17:19] ---
    That's a problem. The fleet is like a family.
[17:23] ---
    It only works if we're all together.
[17:26] ---
    From today on, you are all in the
    service of an even bigger family.
[17:31] ---
    But...
[17:33] ---
    Those who comply with
    providence shall be blessed.
[17:36] ---
    However, those who betray providence
    shall be crushed by the hammer of God.
[17:45] ---
    Understood.
[17:46] ---
    Then get on your knees. You
    shall receive a benediction.
[17:52] ---
    New servant of Kugel,
[17:55] ---
    in the name of providence,
[17:57] ---
    you shall devote yourself body
    and soul to the great cause.
[18:04] ---
    This is totally different
    from the area I saw before.
[18:06] ---
    Guys that live here must be makin' bank.
[18:09] ---
    There is no money here.
[18:12] ---
    What do you do without money?
[18:14] ---
    According to your work, you receive the
    appropriate amount of rations from the fleet.
[18:18] ---
    It's an extremely fair society.
[18:21] ---
    Fair, huh?
[18:23] ---
    This is your residential area.
    I'll show you to your quarters.
[18:37] ---
    What's with them?
[18:40] ---
    Where's everyone from my ship?
[18:41] ---
    Right about now, each part of the
    fleet is being requisitioned.
[18:45] ---
    Each part?
[18:46] ---
    Yes.
[18:47] ---
    Did you really think this fleet would allow
    the consolidation of a potential insurgency?
[18:52] ---
    It suited you to bring us in
    and now you talk insurgency?!
[18:56] ---
    At any rate, you'd be better off avoiding
    contact with your friends for the time being.
[19:04] ---
    Fine.
[19:15] ---
    Virus data analysis complete.
[19:17] ---
    Running Ensign Ledo's physical evaluation.
[19:24] ---
    Physical evaluation complete.
    Nothing abnormal detected.
[19:28] ---
    All this time, the commander led a
    huge fleet from this cramped space?
[19:34] ---
    I can't imitate him.
[19:36] ---
    Conjecture: Commander Kugel
    has withdrawn into his cockpit
[19:40] ---
    because he wishes his existence to be a symbol
    and to strike the crew members with awe.
[19:46] ---
    Speculation: As a result, strong
    leadership will be produced.
[19:51] ---
    So it's scarier if he can't be seen...
[19:55] ---
    But is it good to instill terror?
[19:59] ---
    Dealing with fear is one of the fundamentals
    of the behavior of all living things.
[20:03] ---
    A show of strength causes
    the enemy to be afraid,
[20:07] ---
    but brings refuge to those who are obedient.
[20:11] ---
    Certainly, that's true, but...
[20:14] ---
    Conclusion: As a countermeasure
    against the Hideauze,
[20:17] ---
    a display of force is a valid
    means to optimize leadership.
[20:23] ---
    It mobilizes many people
[20:25] ---
    and is connected to the maintenance of a high
    degree of community functionality. Plus...
[20:30] ---
    Enough already!
[20:33] ---
    Me too...
[20:35] ---
    Maybe I shouldn't have ever left this cockpit...
[20:49] ---
    Welcome back, Mistress!
[20:51] ---
    Good work!
[20:54] ---
    I'm back, girls.
[20:56] ---
    How was that Pinion guy?
[20:59] ---
    Don't be vulgar.
[21:01] ---
    Oh, my!
[21:02] ---
    Then can we get out?
[21:03] ---
    It's still early for that.
[21:07] ---
    It seems that he is capable in
    his own way. On top of that...
[21:10] ---
    ...I'm growing weary of
    having too much free time.
[21:17] ---
    Awakening process complete.
[21:23] ---
    Communication from Commander Kugel.
[21:29] ---
    How do you feel?
[21:31] ---
    Good.
[21:32] ---
    I'd like to get your help right away.
[21:35] ---
    The Hideauze?
[21:37] ---
    No. It's an awareness program
    for the people of this planet.
[21:41] ---
    As you command.
[21:43] ---
    I like that answer.
[21:45] ---
    With your arrival, that
    makes two Machine Calibers,
[21:49] ---
    so we're going to carry out a major
    awareness strategy I've had in mind for a while.
[21:53] ---
    This is the target.
[21:57] ---
    That's...
[22:06] ---
    ...Gargantia!
