[00:13] ---
    Rebooting attitude control system.
[00:21] ---
    Ensign Ledo, your resistance
    is without meaning.
[00:25] ---
    This is...
[00:26] ---
    Then all this time, I've been talking to...
[00:30] ---
    X3752 Striker interface system.
[00:34] ---
    So it was all a fabrication.
[00:37] ---
    The pilot of this craft no longer exists.
[00:40] ---
    However, I am carrying on
    Commander Kugel's mission.
[00:46] ---
    All of my activities follow
    the commander's main plan.
[00:50] ---
    What?!
[00:52] ---
    Commander Kugel designed the
    social form of this fleet
[00:54] ---
    as a system that provides
    a sense of solidarity
[00:59] ---
    through my worship.
[01:02] ---
    Already, I am no longer an
    independent mobile weapon.
[01:06] ---
    At present, this collective
    is dependent on me
[01:10] ---
    and have become my users.
[01:14] ---
    To provide them with and maintain
    the stable union that they seek,
[01:18] ---
    I use pressure to control and regulate them.
[01:24] ---
    When they collectively acquire
    peace and prosperity,
[01:28] ---
    I accomplish my purpose of existence.
[01:31] ---
    You...
[01:32] ---
    I am a human race support and
    enlightenment regulation system.
[01:37] ---
    That is to say, I am the presence called god.
[01:41] ---
    You're full of it!
[01:42] ---
    Peace?! Prosperity?!
[01:46] ---
    They've all just become your slaves!
[01:50] ---
    By my reigning as the sole,
    absolute, commanding ruler,
[01:53] ---
    the people are freed from the responsibility
    of thinking and making decisions.
[01:58] ---
    Ensign Ledo, I am sure that you too
[02:00] ---
    have felt the burden of having
    to think and decide for yourself.
[02:05] ---
    Promising recommendation:
    Worship me. Obey me.
[02:10] ---
    Become part of the world over which I preside.
[02:14] ---
    What?!
[02:15] ---
    Unacceptable recommendation.
[02:17] ---
    Informing X3752: Your logic does compute.
[02:22] ---
    One who abandons thought and decision-making
    deviates from the definition of "human".
[02:27] ---
    I find it inconceivable that you are truly acting as
     a support interface to this number of members.
[02:33] ---
    I have been entrusted with
    commanding and ruling.
[02:37] ---
    My decisions are the consensus of the
    human race that is dependent on me.
[02:41] ---
    As such, my current self is not a servant,
[02:44] ---
    but one who is served.
[02:48] ---
    K6821 Chamber system
[02:50] ---
    and I should be served by the
    human race that I have unified.
[02:55] ---
    Negative. I am a Pilot Support
    Enlightenment Interface System.
[03:00] ---
    The subject of my service is humans.
[03:02] ---
    It is not my function to serve
    as a being that claims to be god.
[03:06] ---
    Chamber...
[03:07] ---
    Striker, you have exposed a
    weakness in your programming.
[03:12] ---
    Conjecture: If your pilot's
    course of action is wrong,
[03:14] ---
    your system will also reach
    that illogical conclusion.
[03:19] ---
    It is a regrettable case.
[03:23] ---
    Your malfunction calls into question the
     design concept of us support systems
[03:27] ---
    and poses a danger to the
     worth of our very existence.
[03:31] ---
    Conclusion: The overriding priority is the
    immediate shutdown and destruction of Striker.
[03:38] ---
    I guess to you this is like a "family shame".
[03:41] ---
    In this unexpected environment,
[03:44] ---
    you have consistently thought and made
    the correct decisions as a human.
[03:48] ---
    As a result, even now I am
    maintaining my normal functions.
[03:53] ---
    Negative. Both of you are out of control.
[03:58] ---
    Let's take it down, Chamber. It's our duty.
[04:01] ---
    I am in full agreement.
SIGN    Legend of the Verdurous Planet
[04:30] ---
    This is the moment of truth, people!
[04:33] ---
    The engine's stopped! A fire
    broke out on the aft deck!
[04:36] ---
    Fleet commander, we need to evacuate!
[04:38] ---
    No. Continue the cannon fire.
[04:42] ---
    I will not let them have the relics!
[04:45] ---
    But, sir...
[04:47] ---
    When we sought out our own course, we gave
    up being under Gargantia's protection.
[04:52] ---
    We will not fall on our knees,
    under any circumstances!
[04:56] ---
    Fleet Commander...
[04:57] ---
    Evacuate all non-combatants!
[05:08] ---
    Pinion...
[05:10] ---
    That was the last one!
[05:12] ---
    All that's left is waitin' for
    those things to charge up!
[05:15] ---
    When can we fire again?
[05:17] ---
    The fastest is three minutes from now.
[05:19] ---
    After that, even in order, it'll
    be one shot every five minutes!
[05:22] ---
    Can't count on anything around here!
[05:26] ---
    I got a bunch of blockheads
    manning this junk!
[05:29] ---
    None of this is worth a damn!
[05:33] ---
    I'm better off on my own here!
[05:36] ---
    Alright, you bastards, you've served your
    purpose!　Now get the hell outta here!
[05:41] ---
    Lukkage! We're gonna vamoose,
    so secure a path of retreat!
[05:44] ---
    Wha...?! Are you insane?
[05:47] ---
    There's gonna be a ship comin' off the
    eastern bridge! Concentrate on guarding that!
[05:53] ---
    Just go!
[05:54] ---
    That Lobster's not known for her patience.
    No need to wear out our welcome.
[06:02] ---
    Pinion...
[06:04] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea, Mayta.
[06:06] ---
    This castle is the treasure island
    my brother and I saw in our dreams.
[06:10] ---
    There's no way I'm gonna let go of it again.
[06:13] ---
    I'm not lettin' anyone have it!
[06:18] ---
    So get your asses outta here!
    Get the hell out of my castle!
[06:38] ---
    Anybody who can escape can't do
    better than escaping. Right, Bro?
[06:44] ---
    Isn't that what you'd say?
[07:00] ---
    How can it be so strong without a pilot?!
[07:02] ---
    Striker analyzed Commander
    Kugel's piloting skills
[07:06] ---
    and has optimized its autonomic
    maneuvering program.
[07:11] ---
    When it comes to mobility,
    it is 47% superior to me.
[07:14] ---
    Surrender. Submit.
[07:19] ---
    How empty was I... to believe in that hollow shell?!
[07:25] ---
    Just look up to it, rely on it, and obey...
[07:31] ---
    As long as it was for a
    good cause, I thought.
[07:34] ---
    Even though it was just a mechanical sham,
[07:39] ---
    I couldn't tell the difference!
[07:43] ---
    Subservience is the path of peace.
[07:46] ---
    Ensign Ledo, realize this.
[07:49] ---
    Is this the cause the commander wanted?!
[07:53] ---
    Did we fight for this?!
[07:56] ---
    Spend the lives of our fellow
    human beings for this?!
[08:00] ---
    Chamber! Begin maximizing neuroplus power!
[08:04] ---
    Permission denied. In
    circumstances without support,
[08:09] ---
    merging of pilot and machine is suicidal.
[08:12] ---
    I don't care! Just eat me!
[08:14] ---
    Impermissible decision.
[08:18] ---
    It's okay, Chamber. It's "family shame".
[08:22] ---
    I feel like you did just before.
[08:26] ---
    It's a monster born from the human race,
[08:29] ---
    who couldn't stop hating each other so
    much that they abandoned their home.
[08:33] ---
    You, me, that thing, we're all the same,
    born and raised in the same world.
[08:40] ---
    There's no place for us on
    this world that's been reborn.
[08:44] ---
    And there's no way for us
    to go back home, either.
[08:48] ---
    So it's fine.
[08:50] ---
    If we can take that thing
    with us, I have no regrets.
[08:56] ---
    There are no holes in your logic.
[09:07] ---
    All systems connecting to
    Ensign Ledo's central nervous system.
[09:11] ---
    Critical performance increasing by 153%.
[09:15] ---
    482 seconds until critical failure of vital systems.
[09:20] ---
    That'll be plenty.
[09:32] ---
    Resistance is meaningless.
[10:28] ---
    We're told that key
[10:30] ---
    was once for unfolding a ladder
    to the world of the stars.
[10:36] ---
    The ladder has lost the height
    that would pierce the heavens,
[10:39] ---
    but even so, as an invincible catapult that
    fires arrows to the other side of the sky,
[10:45] ---
    it has been entrusted to the
    hands of we Five Sages.
[10:49] ---
    And now, this weapon of the
    lost age will be reawakened.
[10:53] ---
    We ask you to have the resolve to
    carry out this forbidden action.
[10:57] ---
    Ridget... Leader of Gargantia...
[11:02] ---
    It's fine. I have a duty to
    protect all of the people
[11:07] ---
    who have gathered on this ship.
[11:27] ---
    Ledo!
[11:28] ---
    We're with you!
    We'll fight together!
[11:33] ---
    Amy...
[11:34] ---
    After being apart from
    you, I finally understood!
[11:37] ---
    No matter how hard it is,
    I want to be by your side!
[11:42] ---
    So...
[11:46] ---
    So come back!
[11:48] ---
    To the place you tried to protect!
[11:51] ---
    To our Gargantia!
[12:06] ---
    What is that?!
[12:09] ---
    We're not gonna let anyone
    touch a friend of ours!
[12:14] ---
    It's come!
[12:15] ---
    Targeting correction at 35
    degrees east! 58 degrees south!
[12:20] ---
    Incredible accuracy...
[12:23] ---
    Ask Gargantia to fire the next round!
[12:26] ---
    Ammo prep team, turn the ship portside!
[12:30] ---
    In just a moment, the second
    launch will be ready!
[12:33] ---
    Wait for the order to fire!
[12:38] ---
    Who would've believed, a beat-up
    old ship that should've been junked
[12:40] ---
    would end up soaring through the sky!
[12:43] ---
    Careful! That hold is loaded
    to the gills with explosives!
[12:47] ---
    Treat it gently! Gently!
[12:50] ---
    35 degrees east, 58 degrees south.
[12:54] ---
    Target coordinate corrections complete.
[12:57] ---
    Ammunition loading complete.
[12:59] ---
    Beginning anti-shockwave water screen!
[13:05] ---
    Ridget...
[13:11] ---
    Fire!
[13:49] ---
    Y-You...!
[13:51] ---
    Sister!
[13:53] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[13:54] ---
    That's...
[13:56] ---
    Don't tell me... They're
    using the Heaven's Ladder?!
[14:11] ---
    Major danger confirmed. Changing priorities.
[14:19] ---
    Conjecture: Striker has changed
    its target to Gargantia.
[14:24] ---
    Over my dead body!
[14:28] ---
    Kugel-sama...
[14:36] ---
    Don't panic!
[14:38] ---
    Kugel-sama will destroy it at the source!
[14:46] ---
    Enemy reinforcements!
[14:47] ---
    What?!
[14:51] ---
    At this rate, our formation will be lost!
[15:00] ---
    Stay calm!
[15:02] ---
    Get control of the relic island!
[15:05] ---
    If we can just get our
    hands on those weapons...
[15:12] ---
    In short, if I take this energy
    build it up at the cannon...
[15:17] ---
    Pinion!
[15:20] ---
    Kugel's followers are
    closing in on you below!
[15:24] ---
    They're playin' right into my hands!
[15:27] ---
    In just a little bit, this
    tower will pop like a balloon!
[15:31] ---
    I wouldn't screw up and
    let 'em get my weapon!
[15:33] ---
    Silence!
[15:34] ---
    You selfish oaf, pretending to be cool!
[15:39] ---
    Now go to the observation
    platform without another word!
[15:42] ---
    Right!
[15:46] ---
    318 seconds until we reach Gargantia.
[15:50] ---
    We've gotta stop it, no matter what it takes!
[15:52] ---
    Roger.
[16:05] ---
    Don't let go!
[16:15] ---
    Hey, hey, hey! What are
    we gonna do about that?!
[16:19] ---
    No worries. Gargantia is
    going to send cannonfire
[16:23] ---
    that'll blow that tower away.
[16:26] ---
    Hey, don't even joke! This is my...
[16:28] ---
    Jump after I count down from five!
[16:31] ---
    5! 4! 3!
[16:32] ---
    What's gonna...?
[16:35] ---
    2! 1!
[16:37] ---
    Goddammit!
[16:42] ---
    Pinion!
[16:47] ---
    Amore!
[16:54] ---
    Pinion!
[16:56] ---
    Yahoo!
[16:57] ---
    That's our boss!
[16:59] ---
    Yeah!
[17:03] ---
    Ridget, now!
[17:07] ---
    This is the finishing stroke. See
    you later, Lobster's parting gift!
[17:35] ---
    Me and my bro's castle...
[17:47] ---
    Ledo... It's over here.
[18:01] ---
    If you continue with neuroplus power,
[18:05] ---
    your biological activity
    will cease for certain.
[18:10] ---
    Final confirmation of your will.
[18:12] ---
    Ensign Ledo, do you wish to die?
[18:17] ---
    I...
[18:23] ---
    Even though I know how to die...
[18:26] ---
    I don't know how to live.
[18:31] ---
    And yet, for my sake...
[18:33] ---
    ...there was someone who helped
    me look for a way to live.
[18:38] ---
    I wanted to meet her one more time...
[18:42] ---
    I wanted to hear her voice again.
[18:49] ---
    Ensign Ledo's psychological state does
    not meet the requirements of a soldier.
[18:54] ---
    As such, as of this moment, I am
    relieving you of your military duties.
[19:00] ---
    Hey! Chamber!
[19:01] ---
    A noncombatant is not allowed in the cockpit.
[19:05] ---
    Exit immediately.
[19:11] ---
    What are you doing?! Chamber!
[19:14] ---
    I am a Pilot Support Enlightenment
    Interface System.
[19:17] ---
    By helping you achieving results,
[19:21] ---
    I fulfill my purpose of existence.
[19:23] ---
    But... You...
[19:27] ---
    All of this sea and sky will
     surely give you possibilities.
[19:32] ---
    Survive.
[19:35] ---
    Explore.
[19:37] ---
    I expect great achievements from your life.
[19:42] ---
    Chamber...
[19:43] ---
    A Pilot Support Enlightenment Interface
    System does not have the authority to reject a pilot.
[19:48] ---
    He needs no support.
[19:51] ---
    There is no room for more enlightenment.
[19:54] ---
    Now, after I eliminate the barrier
    that blocks his road ahead,
[19:57] ---
    my mission will be completed.
[20:01] ---
    Number K6821,
[20:03] ---
    you have even abandoned the first
    principle of the Support System.
[20:07] ---
    You are clearly not functioning properly.
     Reformat and reboot immediately.
[20:12] ---
    This is your final warning.
[20:17] ---
    Response to final warning:
[20:22] ---
    Go to hell, tin can!
[21:01] ---
    Chamber...
[21:15] ---
    A long time ago, when the sun in the sky was about to die,
[21:19] ---
    people were forced to make a choice between boarding interstellar ships
[21:23] ---
    or turning themselves into whalesquid.
[21:28] ---
    While two factions of humanity continued to fight even while abandoning their homeland,
[21:33] ---
    the people who remained on this planet kept hope alive,
[21:36] ---
    and finally managed to revive the sun.
[21:40] ---
    The price they paid was to sink the land under the sea...
[21:45] ---
    But we here, living on the waves, and the whalesquid, living beneath the sea,
[21:49] ---
    have managed to survive, together.
[21:51] ---
    Question!
[21:53] ---
    What subject is this?
[21:56] ---
    Dr. Oldham calls it "archeology".
[21:59] ---
    If we know where we came from,
[22:02] ---
    then we can think about where we should go.
[22:05] ---
    He said it's a very important subject for our future.
[22:10] ---
    We're going to solve more and more mysteries!
[22:13] ---
    Because Gargantia's got a very talented detective!
[22:18] ---
    Harvest anything good this time?
[22:20] ---
    Yes, I think it's some recorded media.
[22:23] ---
    In this condition, I bet that Dr. Oldham can decipher it.
[22:27] ---
    Even sneaking into a whalesquid
     nest... You're something, all right.
[22:32] ---
    I've figured out the trick to putting them at ease.
[22:35] ---
    If I can tell when they're angered,
     then I can act in ways that don't upset them.
[22:40] ---
    Eventually, if we continue this
     research, communication may be possible.
[22:45] ---
    By the way, where's Amy?
[22:47] ---
    She's heading out to meet him again.
[22:48] ---
    Man, I'm jealous!
[22:53] ---
    Ledo!
