[00:08] Amy
    Using this shortcut will
    save you a lot of time,
[00:12] Amy
    but keep in mind that you need a
    kite to cross these two points.
[00:16] Amy
    When you don't have one,
    take a detour this way.
[00:20] Melty
    The ratio of hotties in
    this area is pretty high!
[00:23] Saaya
    But it's a dicey path, so be careful.
[00:26] A
    Yeah. It's a bunch of small
    ships all bunched together.
[00:30] A
    The bridges are narrow, too,
    so watch your step.
[00:32] A
    You're done for if you fall overboard.
[00:36] Ledo
    Kids do something that risky?
    Will they be okay?
[00:40] A
    We'll make sure they are.
[00:43] L
    Isn't that hard?
[00:45] A
    Didn't you have a hard time when
    you started working here, too?
[00:50] L
    Yeah.
[00:51] A
    Everyone makes mistakes at first.
[00:53] A
    But that's why we're here.
[00:57] L
    If they fail and not deliver package?
[01:02] A
    Great question!
[01:03] A
    For example, if you lose a package
    containing a Yunboro's blueprints,
[01:07] A
    then it can't be serviced.
[01:10] M
    And then, the work that Yunboro was
    supposed to do will be delayed, too.
[01:16] S
    Everyone's work will get stalled.
[01:19] M
    Every job plays a vital role in
    supporting people's lives here,
[01:23] M
    so they have to be done responsibly.
[01:25] S
    We'll be in big trouble if we can't
    procure food or other supplies.
[01:28] A
    We won't be able to live.
[01:30] M
    When that happens in small fleets or solo
    ships, everyone aboard could die off,
[01:34] M
    leaving them abandoned on the water!
[01:38] L
    Abandoned ships?
[01:39] M
    Yeah. Hollow ships with nobody aboard
    that keep sailing aimlessly...
[01:46] M
    Also known as ghost ships!
[01:48] K
    Ghost?!
[01:51] K
    She said "ghost"!
[01:53] A
    Right, let me tell you a true story.
[01:57] A
    Once upon a time, a fleet
    interlocked with a new ship.
[02:01] A
    A messenger girl was told to deliver
    something there, so she went.
[02:07] A
    But she found that there was nobody aboard.
[02:12] A
    The doors were all wide open,
[02:14] A
    and the tables had half-eaten
    meals left on them.
[02:19] A
    The food had all dried and rotted away...
[02:21] A
    "Could this be one of those abandoned
    ships I've heard about?"
[02:28] M
    Then what happened?
[02:30] A
    Thinking she shouldn't stick around,
    the girl tried to leave.
[02:35] A
    Just then, a shadow passed
    by the edge of her vision.
[02:39] A
    "There can't be anyone aboard this ship!
[02:42] A
    Is it...
[02:44] A
    a ghost?!"
[02:46] A
    Just then...
[02:47] L
    Chamber, what's a "ghost"?
[02:50] C
    That word does not exist in any
    standard Alliance dictionary.
[02:54] L
    It doesn't exist?
[02:55] L
    You mean it's unique to this planet?
[02:59] C
    That is a possibility.
[03:01] C
    Conjecture: based on the information
    revealed so far, it may be a living organism.
[03:06] L
    A living organism?
[03:07] A
    ...she saw bloody footprints!
[03:11] A
    The girl froze still out of fear.
[03:15] A
    That's when she heard it...
[03:16] A
    Two knocks on the window.
[03:20] A
    When she turned toward without thinking,
[03:23] A
    she saw...
[03:33] L
    What is it?
[03:36] G
    Ridget, we have an abandoned ship.
[03:39] R
    Understood.
[03:40] R
    What perfect timing.
SIGN    Abandoned Fleet
[05:19] R
    That's pretty big.
[05:21] Bellows
    It's less an abandoned ship
    and more an abandoned fleet.
[05:25] R
    We'll follow standard procedure
    and dispatch a recon team.
[05:29] R
    The goal is to find out the cause and
    whether there are any survivors on board.
[05:34] G
    Let us gather up a squad for
    the recon mission, then.
[05:37] G
    We should recruit ten people from the
    escort ships, and a few more volunteers.
[05:41] Pinion
    I'm in.
[05:43] B
    I guess I'll go, too.
[05:45] P
    Join us, Ledo.
[05:47] L
    Me?
[05:49] P
    We might find a whole pile of treasure.
[05:52] P
    We'll need someone to carry it.
[05:53] P
    That okay, Ridget?
[05:57] R
    I'll allow it.
[05:58] M
    What? The hottie's going?
[06:01] S
    Lucky...
[06:26] M
    Surprise. We came along.
[06:28] R
    You girls!
[06:30] S
    Let us help!
[06:33] M
    We won't bother you, promise!
[06:35] A
    Hey, let's just stay right here.
[06:39] A
    W-We can keep an eye on the
    ship that brought us here.
[06:44] A
    Wait, what?!
[06:46] A
    The ship's gone!
[06:47] R
    The escort ship went to scout the vicinity.
[06:50] A
    No...
[06:51] B
    Well, this place does seem bigger than
    we thought. The more the merrier, right?
[06:56] R
    Very well.
[06:57] SM
    Yay!
[06:58] A
    No way!
[07:50] A
    A-Anyone home?
[07:54] A
    You call out, too, Ledo.
[07:57] L
    Anyone home? Somebody, anybody!
[08:04] L
    That do?
[08:08] L
    Will ghost show up if I call, too?
[08:11] A
    N-No need to call a ghost!
[08:13] L
    Are ghosts enemies?
[08:17] L
    Should I intercept?
[08:18] A
    No! Just don't do anything!
[08:20] L
    Got it.
[08:30] L
    Might be survivor.
[08:33] A
    But...
[08:34] L
    I'm here with you.
[08:47] L
    There?
[08:53] P
    What the heck? There's nothing here!
[08:55] P
    Talk about bad luck.
[08:57] M
    Right back at ya!
    Why do we have to go with you?
[09:01] P
    Wanna split up, then?
[09:04] M
    Huh?
[09:04] S
    No!
[09:05] P
    Then quit whining!
[09:07] M
    But...
[09:09] P
    Then how does this sound?
[09:12] P
    A test of courage.
[09:14] M
    Huh?
[09:15] S
    What are you saying?
[09:16] P
    We'll pretend to be ghosts
    and go scare Ledo and Amy.
[09:25] SM
    We're in!
[09:33] L
    Is anyone here?
[09:41] A
    Eek!
[09:46] L
    It was just the door closing.
[09:49] L
    Anyone around?
[09:56] P
    Wait, wait!
[09:59] L
    Pinion?
[10:02] P
    It was just a joke, man!
[10:05] M
    God, that Stupinion!
[10:07] M
    The hottie's all over Amy now!
[10:10] S
    Right?
[10:22] A
    What the hell? Will you knock it off?!
[10:25] M
    Oh, please!
[10:26] B
    Why can't they take this seriously?
[10:28] B
    Right, Ridget?
[10:31] B
    What's up? Find something?
[10:41] B
    A clinic?
[10:43] B
    What's the matter? Is there
    something about this ship?
[10:56] R
    I recognize this fleet.
[11:12] R
    Gargantia and this fleet came together once.
[11:17] R
    It was around seven years ago.
[11:35] Storia
    Hey, Ridget.
[11:38] Storia
    The way this fleet interlocks
    its ships is unusual, isn't it?
[11:42] R
    It always varies depending on
    the nature of the mother ship.
[11:46] R
    Their interlocking devices have arms,
    so they probably don't use Yunboros.
[11:50] S
    Huh... You always know everything, Ridget.
[11:54] S
    Hey, what's that?
[11:56] R
    Storia... Don't forget that we're
    here representing Gargantia.
[12:01] S
    Sorry. This is a rare chance to observe
    how another fleet works, isn't it?
[12:07] R
    That said, learning experience or not,
[12:10] R
    I fail to see the point of making us do
    a bunch of manual interlocking work.
[12:15] S
    Hey, we're getting to meet lots
    of people, so I'm having fun.
[12:19] S
    The instructor today, Littner,
[12:22] S
    is the chief of the interlocking
    guild, apparently.
[12:25] S
    He's a lot younger than Gargantia's
    guild chief, isn't he?
[12:28] R
    Yeah, he certainly does seem
    to be good at his job.
[12:32] Li
    You there!
[12:33] Li
    Don't get distracted! You could fall!
[12:34] S
    We're sorry!
[12:36] R
    May I speak?
[12:38] Li
    What is it?
[12:39] R
    I don't find this training beneficial.
[12:44] Li
    You're... Ridget, was it?
[12:47] Li
    Miss Potential Future Fleet Commander
[12:49] Li
    doesn't see the need to learn any
    more about ship interlocking, huh?
[12:55] R
    Frankly speaking, yes.
[12:57] Li
    I see. Then I have a favor to ask.
[13:01] Li
    Could you teach that group
    how ships are interlocked?
[13:06] Li
    Hey, you guys!
[13:07] Li
    You have a new instructor!
    Be sure to listen to her!
[13:11] R
    W-Wait a second!
[13:13] Li
    What's the matter? You know everything
    there is to know, don't you?
[13:17] Li
    Show them how good Gargantia's
    interlocking technique is.
[13:21] R
    I...
[13:23] Li
    If you don't know how to teach them,
[13:27] Li
    that means there is something
    you still don't know.
[13:30] Li
    Am I wrong?
[13:33] Li
    For a leader, nothing is more
    valuable than experience.
[13:37] Li
    Even if our methods are
    different from your fleet's,
[13:41] Li
    there should be a lot you
    can learn from this.
[13:46] R
    I'm sorry.
[13:54] L
    All right.
[13:55] L
    You guys get started on the
    work I laid out earlier.
[13:59] Bo
    Yes, sir!
[14:00] S
    Ridget...
[14:43] S
    Ridget!
[14:45] S
    Somebody bring a stretcher!
[14:49] R
    Ow...
[14:53] R
    U-Um...
[14:55] L
    This is why I warned you!
[14:58] L
    Are you all right?
[15:00] R
    Y-Yes.
[15:02] Li
    Okay, good.
[15:09] S
    Stay still.
[15:10] G
    Littner!
[15:11] G
    Are you okay?
[15:12] L
    I-I'm fine, I'm fine!
[15:15] S
    Yeah, right! Look at all this blood!
[15:17] S
    Hurry up with the stretcher!
    Send word to the medics!
[15:20] G
    Got it!
[15:21] W
    Hang on!
[15:21] G
    This is bad!
[15:40] S
    Ridget?
[15:43] S
    Here to visit to Littner?
[15:45] R
    No, it's not like that...
[15:48] R
    Wait, is this where you've been?
[15:52] S
    Come on in!
[16:07] R
    W-Wait!
[16:09] S
    Littner.
[16:11] S
    Ridget's here to see you.
[16:13] R
    Huh?
[16:16] R
    U-Um...
[16:17] Li
    Thanks for coming.
[16:20] R
    Sure...
[16:25] Li
    Oh, this?
[16:26] Li
    Don't worry about it.
[16:28] Li
    Take a seat.
[16:35] Li
    Sorry about the other day.
[16:37] R
    It wasn't your fault.
[16:41] R
    I was careless and got you hurt.
[16:45] R
    I'm truly sorry.
[16:48] Li
    You don't have to feel bad about it.
[16:54] R
    Um, is that a camera?
[16:58] Li
    I'm impressed you know.
[17:00] Li
    I made it based on some old world designs.
[17:03] R
    I saw one once before, when I was little.
[17:07] R
    It's amazing that you made it from scratch.
[17:09] Li
    It works, too.
[17:12] Li
    Sit still.
[17:15] Li
    Here we go.
[17:29] S
    Sorry to show up out of the blue.
[17:30] R
    It's fine.
[17:32] R
    Anyway, is something the matter?
[17:35] S
    You see...
[17:37] S
    Littner asked me to go with him.
[17:42] R
    I-I see.
[17:44] S
    But I've never even imagined
    leaving Gargantia, ever.
[17:49] S
    Sure, I have no family tying me down,
[17:54] S
    but I do have friends.
[17:56] S
    And you...
[17:58] S
    You're all so important to me.
[18:01] S
    I couldn't bear to say goodbye!
[18:07] R
    How do you feel about Littner?
[18:12] R
    You love him, too, don't you?
[18:15] S
    Yeah.
[18:16] R
    Then you should go with him.
[18:19] S
    But I don't want to leave you!
[18:26] R
    In Gargantia, everyone is free to
    join or leave anytime they wish.
[18:30] R
    That motto has created so many bonds here.
[18:34] R
    This is your chance to forge a new one.
[18:37] S
    Forge a new bond?
[18:40] R
    Storia, I know you'll be fine.
[18:46] S
    Ridget!
[19:41] P
    Huh? This is...
[19:49] M
    What is this place?
[19:50] P
    It's this mother ship's engine!
[19:52] S
    Oh, wow!
[19:53] M
    It's my first time seeing one!
[19:58] P
    I see now.
[20:00] S
    Did you figure something out?
[20:02] P
    Looks like lightbugs got to this engine.
[20:05] M
    Lightbugs?
[20:06] L
    Why?
[20:08] P
    Not only do lightbugs self-propagate,
[20:12] P
    but their crystallized forms
    are incredibly hard.
[20:17] P
    If they're even eating into the exterior,
[20:20] P
    the inside of the engine must
    be packed with crystals.
[20:24] P
    This fleet probably had
[20:26] P
    a bunch of ships that had to depend
    on this massive engine to sail.
[20:32] P
    And those must be the
    ships left behind here.
[20:36] P
    Well, I bet the inhabitants all just got
    on ships that could move and scrammed.
[20:42] A
    Thank goodness.
[20:44] S
    That means no ghosts.
[20:47] A
    Yeah, yeah.
[20:48] L
    Did ghost escape with people?
[20:52] A
    Well, let's just say they did.
[20:56] R
    Understood. Good work
    with the investigation.
[21:00] R
    The Fleet Commander's logbook
    agrees with your deduction.
[21:04] L
    Is investigation over?
[21:05] R
    Yes. Let's withdraw.
[21:08] P
    Aw, man. No treasure, huh?
[21:11] B
    You'd be surprised.
[21:18] R
    I suppose so.
[21:20] P
    What's this, Bellows?
    You find something good?
[21:23] B
    Secret.
[21:25] P
    Tell me, you little shit!
    You turtle-shell ass!
[21:28] B
    I dare you to say that again!
[21:29] P
    Ass attack?! That packed a punch...
[21:36] M
    We're back!
[21:39] K
    Did you see ghosts?
[21:40] K
    Were they scary?
[21:41] P
    Yeah, there were ghosts everywhere!
[21:45] Beb
    Really?
[21:46] A
    Bebel!
[21:47] Beb
    Hey, Sis.
[21:48] A
    You won't believe how many there were!
[21:50] L
    Amy?
[21:51] Beb
    Weren't you scared?
