[00:13] ---
    Okay! Let's adjust the suspension.
[00:17] ---
    Good work.
[00:20] ---
    With this, the interlocking is complete.
[00:22] ---
    I appreciate this.
[00:24] ---
    Anyway, you've got an incredible fleet here.
[00:27] ---
    Thank you for informing us about the pirates.
[00:31] ---
    You're welcome here.
[00:33] ---
    Thanks.
[00:35] ---
    I know we're in good hands.
[00:39] ---
    Fleet Commander, the interlocking
    process is complete.
[00:43] ---
    Good. And what about him?
[00:46] ---
    Actually...
SIGN    The Flute of Recollection
[02:25] ---
    Alright! Tighten the wire!
[02:30] ---
    Chief! That's in the way! Move it!
[02:34] ---
    Hey! You don't just set it down
    wherever you feel like it!
[02:37] ---
    Where... to move it?
[02:39] ---
    Over there!
[02:42] ---
    See? By the other cargo!
[02:45] ---
    Okay. Move it over there.
[02:47] ---
    Roger.
[02:54] ---
    W-What the...?!
[02:55] ---
    I told you not to fly!
[03:03] ---
    C-Chamber!
[03:06] ---
    Hey, are you alright?!
[03:10] ---
    Idiot! Don't cut that rope!
[03:13] ---
    Hey! Can you get yourself out of this?
[03:22] ---
    We haven't decided how to handle
    your right of residence yet.
[03:27] ---
    So if you don't mind, please use
    this area as your quarters for now.
[03:30] ---
    Here?!
[03:32] ---
    Is there a problem with it?
[03:33] ---
    This place is a dump!
[03:35] ---
    This... is fine.
[03:38] ---
    Chamber... nearby. Convenient.
[03:41] ---
    That's all you care about?
[03:42] ---
    No problem...
[03:44] ---
    And one more thing. Here's your invoice.
[03:47] ---
    In...voice?
[03:50] ---
    A demand to pay for damages incurred
    to the hangar while rendering service.
[03:54] ---
    Wait a second, Ridget! Ledo is the
    one who drove the pirates away!
[03:59] ---
    The destruction of the hangar
    has nothing to do with that.
[04:02] ---
    But Ledo just got here!
    He doesn't know the rules!
[04:07] ---
    We're exempting him from electricity
    expended while staying here, water fee,
[04:10] ---
    and the freight charge of hauling
    this oversized cargo around.
[04:16] ---
    So it's not just a one-sided deal.
[04:20] ---
    Ledo! Are you okay with this?
[04:24] ---
    Query: What is the specific
    nature of this "deal"?
[04:30] ---
    Hey! This Yunboro's in the way!
[04:33] ---
    Move... where?
[04:34] ---
    For cryin' out loud... Get the next load.
[04:38] ---
    Put it in the same place as before!
[04:41] ---
    Chamber, move it over there.
[04:43] ---
    Roger.
[04:45] ---
    Stop flying, dammit!
[04:47] ---
    That's an impressive Yunboro...
[04:50] ---
    Does it understand when other
    people besides you talk to it?
[04:54] ---
    Understands...
[04:55] ---
    Could it do what I say?
[04:59] ---
    Based on the allowable
    scope of military protocol,
[05:02] ---
    it is possible to transfer command authority.
[05:04] ---
    In other words...?
[05:05] ---
    Possible...
[05:07] ---
    I see. Alright...
[05:09] ---
    Chief! I got a good idea!
[05:15] ---
    Alright! Good enough.
[05:24] ---
    Delivery for you!
[05:25] ---
    Thanks.
[05:29] ---
    He's working hard...
[05:35] ---
    Huh?
[05:36] ---
    What the hell's his deal? He makes the tin
    can do all the work while he slacks off!
[05:42] ---
    I wonder what happened...
[05:43] ---
    That's a dimwit if I ever saw one! Like I
    said before, he should just be deep-sixed...
[05:48] ---
    He might be just taking a break, right?!
[05:58] ---
    That's the way to do it!
[06:01] ---
    I fail to see any meaning in your behavior.
[06:06] ---
    It's nothing more than a meditation tool.
[06:12] ---
    Still, hot as it is, they're
    sure wasting a lot of energy.
[06:16] ---
    There's no discipline at all here.
    What's their instructor doing?
[06:19] ---
    Conjecture: Children's drills
    here do not have an instructor.
[06:24] ---
    Then how can they be raised as
    productive members of society?
[06:28] ---
    Query: What is the next order?
[06:30] ---
    Hold on!
[06:31] ---
    I'm first!
[06:33] ---
    No fair!
[06:34] ---
    Say something!
[06:35] ---
    Fly up to the sky!
[06:36] ---
    Obstructions prevent completion of duties.
    Query: Permission to clear them away?
[06:41] ---
    Granted. But take care not to hurt anyone.
[06:45] ---
    Roger.
[06:49] ---
    Ledo!
[06:50] ---
    How's it going?
[06:52] ---
    Standing by...
[06:53] ---
    "Standing by"? Oh...
[06:57] ---
    What's that? Are you making something?
[07:01] ---
    I... don't know.
[07:02] ---
    You're making something but you don't
    know what it is? How strange.
[07:07] ---
    That's an unusual material.
[07:09] ---
    Hideauze nail. No have... on this planet?
[07:15] ---
    It's so beautiful!
[07:18] ---
    If you want... I give.
[07:19] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:25] ---
    Say, would you like to take
    a little walk with me?
[07:32] ---
    This'll be a great souvenir
    for my little brother.
[07:34] ---
    Little... brother?
[07:35] ---
    Uh-huh. His name's Bebel. He's
    really good working with his hands.
[07:41] ---
    What does "little brother" mean?
[07:43] ---
    "Little brother" is a brother
    who's younger than you...
[07:49] ---
    Um... in your family...
[07:51] ---
    Fam...ily...?
[07:53] ---
    In ancient society,
[07:54] ---
    that label was applied to societal units
    comprised of mates and blood relations.
[08:01] ---
    They had that custom?
[08:04] ---
    You don't have a family, Ledo?
[08:06] ---
    Inefficient. Unnecessary.
[08:09] ---
    Inefficient...?
[08:11] ---
    It sounds like you lived
    in a rough place, Ledo.
[08:16] ---
    Bebel wants to ask you about space.
[08:20] ---
    About... space?
[08:21] ---
    Yep. He's really interested in the stars and
    vehicles you use to travel through space.
[08:28] ---
    But his body is weak, so he
    can't walk around as he likes.
[08:33] ---
    Body... is weak?
[08:35] ---
    He's got like a disease... in the chest.
[08:40] ---
    In the Galactic Alliance, frail humans
    are eliminated and disposed of.
[08:45] ---
    Humans who cannot participate
    in battle are useless.
[08:49] ---
    Useless! That's... Ledo,
    were you okay with that?
[08:54] ---
    Don't... understand... question.
[08:56] ---
    I see...
[09:00] ---
    Will I be able to gain useful
    information by talking to that person?
[09:04] ---
    Information?
[09:07] ---
    In that case, why not meet Dr. Oldham?
[09:10] ---
    Old...ham...?
[09:12] ---
    He's a doctor, but people
    call him "the Sage".
[09:15] ---
    He's the smartest person in all of Gargantia.
[09:32] ---
    Over here!
[09:42] ---
    Hello! Dr. Oldham!
[09:46] ---
    Amy!
[09:46] ---
    Doctor, Amy's here!
[09:49] ---
    Hello.
[09:50] ---
    Doctor...
[09:51] ---
    Hi, Amy.
[09:54] ---
    I brought someone here today.
[09:58] ---
    Could it be that you're Ledo?
[10:02] ---
    He says he's got something
    to ask you, Doctor.
[10:06] ---
    Well, I've still got work
    to do, so I'm taking off.
[10:09] ---
    You're busy, huh?
[10:11] ---
    Ledo, I'll come by to pick you
    up later, so wait downstairs.
[10:21] ---
    I would like you to provide information.
[10:25] ---
    I've heard the rumors,
[10:29] ---
    but is that the voice of the
    machine that can understand words?
[10:32] ---
    That... is correct.
[10:34] ---
    Lost technology. I never imagined I'd be
    able to lay my eyes on the real thing...
[10:40] ---
    Can I... ask question?
[10:42] ---
    Of course, although I'm not sure I'll know the answer.
[10:45] ---
    Please, sit.
[10:50] ---
    What do you want to ask?
[10:53] ---
    I would ask about how to return
    to the Galactic Alliance.
[10:56] ---
    I'm afraid I don't possess any
    knowledge pertaining to that subject.
[11:02] ---
    As you can see, we've lost the
    majority of ancient wisdom.
[11:06] ---
    Particularly regarding the technology
    of traveling to the stars...
[11:11] ---
    Currently, this is the knowledge of
    the heavens that's been left to us.
[11:15] ---
    I doubt this is what you're looking for...
[11:19] ---
    I apologize for being of no help.
[11:22] ---
    It... can't be helped.
[11:25] ---
    Can I ask... one more question?
[11:28] ---
    Certainly, go right ahead.
[11:31] ---
    I would ask for your explanation
    of the structure of this fleet.
[11:35] ---
    Explanation?
[11:39] ---
    This fleet is inefficient.
[11:41] ---
    The chain of command and training
    of children are defective,
[11:44] ---
    while the behavior of the
    citizenry is disorganized.
[11:48] ---
    And I cannot comprehend the
    purpose of caring for the weak.
[11:54] ---
    I see. So that's how it looks
    to a visitor from the stars.
[11:59] ---
    I beg your pardon.
[12:00] ---
    This efficiency that you speak
    of has a rather narrow range.
[12:05] ---
    Let's see... I think you should meet Bebel.
[12:11] ---
    Will I attain any useful information
    by conversing with that person?
[12:16] ---
    Whether it's useful or not
    is up to you to decide.
[12:31] ---
    I see. So even the doctor didn't know...
[12:37] ---
    Bebel! I'm home!
[12:40] ---
    Welcome back, Sis.
[12:51] ---
    He's Ledo?
[12:53] ---
    He really is your friend, Sis!
[12:57] ---
    You're awesome, Sis!
[12:59] ---
    Nice to meet you. I'm Bebel.
[13:02] ---
    Nice to... meet you.
[13:05] ---
    This is Amy's "little brother"?
[13:10] ---
    Sit down, if you'd like.
[13:12] ---
    Ledo said he wanted to meet you, Bebel!
[13:15] ---
    Really?
[13:16] ---
    That's... right.
[13:20] ---
    I would like you to provide information.
[13:23] ---
    Is that...
[13:25] ---
    Uh-huh! This is Chamber's
    communications device.
[13:28] ---
    Wow! It really can talk!
[13:31] ---
    Chamber...
[13:32] ---
    I am an artificial intelligence
    created to aid my pilot.
[13:37] ---
    Cool! You understand Earth language, too!
[13:42] ---
    Amy, are you in there?!
[13:43] ---
    We don't have enough people,
    so we need your help...
[13:45] ---
    Oh?
[13:46] ---
    Huh? The hottie?!
[13:48] ---
    Already inviting him home?
[13:50] ---
    It's not like that!
[13:52] ---
    Sorry, I have to work again.
[13:55] ---
    See you later.
[13:56] ---
    Just when it was getting good...
[13:58] ---
    When what was getting good?
[14:00] ---
    I told you, it's nothing like that!
[14:02] ---
    Well, Bebel, take care of Ledo, okay?
[14:04] ---
    Don't be in such a rush that you trip!
[14:06] ---
    I know...!
[14:08] ---
    Amy!
[14:09] ---
    Sorry, my sister never stops moving.
[14:11] ---
    I... don't mind.
[14:13] ---
    Ledo, are you really from space?
[14:18] ---
    I've always wondered!
[14:20] ---
    What's life like in space?
[14:25] ---
    With the Galactic Alliance, the main
    mission is fighting the Hideauze.
[14:29] ---
    Hideauze...?
[14:33] ---
    An alien life-form that threatens
    the existence of the human race.
[14:36] ---
    Have you always been fighting them?
[14:40] ---
    The war has been going on since the
    formation of the Galactic Alliance.
[14:45] ---
    Wow...
[14:47] ---
    It must be totally different
    from how life is here.
[14:51] ---
    Doesn't it wear you out?
[14:53] ---
    The only exhausted people are dead.
[14:58] ---
    Dead... I see. It's rough, huh?
[15:04] ---
    Are you used to things here?
[15:10] ---
    I cannot comprehend the organizational
    structure of Gargantia.
[15:14] ---
    Organization?
[15:17] ---
    Query: What is the reason for running such
    an inefficient and useless operation?
[15:22] ---
    The fleet isn't an organization.
    It's just everyone coming together.
[15:28] ---
    Sometimes we fight, sometimes help each
    other... And that's just how we live.
[15:34] ---
    Query: What is the significance of that?
[15:36] ---
    As long as everyone can live free
    of worry, that's all that matters.
[15:41] ---
    The answer is unclear.
[15:43] ---
    The behavioral objective of the human race
    is subjugating the enemy, the Hideauze.
[15:48] ---
    Without that, the human race
    has no stable development.
[15:52] ---
    Really?
[15:54] ---
    Humans like you are culled immediately
    by the Galactic Alliance.
[15:59] ---
    Culled...
[16:02] ---
    But if that's the case, what would
    become of the Galactic Alliance
[16:05] ---
    if the Hideauze are beaten completely?
[16:08] ---
    What are you going to do, Ledo?
[16:11] ---
    I would stand by until I
    receive further instructions.
[16:15] ---
    Then what if those instructions don't come?
[16:19] ---
    I will just continue to stand by.
[16:23] ---
    Then you're the same as us, huh?
[16:26] ---
    Same?
[16:29] ---
    After all, "standing by" means
    continuing to live, right?
[16:40] ---
    Ledo, I heard Joe took your Yunboro away?
[16:44] ---
    It's a shame, the hero being sidelined.
[16:49] ---
    Ledo?
[16:51] ---
    Query: Are my actions beneficial?
[16:54] ---
    Yours, Ledo?
[16:57] ---
    You routed the pirates, remember?
[17:02] ---
    Right now, all I am doing
    is observing Chamber.
[17:06] ---
    You're just not used to it here.
[17:10] ---
    I am unable to determine
    my own course of action.
[17:13] ---
    Course of action, huh?
[17:16] ---
    First of all, why don't you knock off
    that kind of military-style thinking?
[17:20] ---
    Knock... off?
[17:22] ---
    That's right. Be more flexible with...
[17:27] ---
    Rain!
[17:28] ---
    Collect the rain!
[17:29] ---
    What is this?! What's happening?!
[17:31] ---
    Weather phenomena. It is not poisonous.
[17:34] ---
    This is an emergency situation!
    Have your Yunboro gather the rain!
[17:38] ---
    Fresh water is precious!
[17:40] ---
    What... should I do?
[17:41] ---
    There's a tarp over there! Spread
    it out to collect the water!
[17:45] ---
    Chamber!
[17:47] ---
    Roger!
[18:27] ---
    Right! Just like that!
[18:32] ---
    There is a change in your brainwaves.
[18:35] ---
    I'm just wondering about how
    our side is doing in the war.
[18:38] ---
    Given the present circumstances,
    such consideration is meaningless.
[18:42] ---
    I know.
[18:43] ---
    I spy the handsome guy!
[18:45] ---
    He really is good-looking...
[18:47] ---
    But I kind of feel sorry for him, all
    alone in a place he knows nothing about...
[18:53] ---
    I can tell, he'll be fine!
[18:56] ---
    Right?
[18:58] ---
    You're worried about him,
    aren't you?! Get over there!
[19:05] ---
    Ledo...
[19:06] ---
    You're soaked. You're gonna catch a cold.
[19:09] ---
    Dry off at my place.
[19:14] ---
    Sure seems like it was some squall.
[19:17] ---
    That was my first observation
    of concentrated rain.
[19:21] ---
    Is there rain in space, too?
[19:23] ---
    No.
[19:24] ---
    Are there oceans?
[19:25] ---
    No.
[19:27] ---
    And people who are sick, like me...
[19:30] ---
    Do not exist.
[19:32] ---
    But I don't think of myself as unnecessary.
[19:38] ---
    I...
[19:40] ---
    I have my big sister.
[19:42] ---
    Amy?
[19:44] ---
    My sister needs me.
[19:47] ---
    Somebody must need you, too, Ledo. That's
    why you've been able to survive all this time.
[19:55] ---
    In the war, only those who can be
    of service are needed to survive.
[20:00] ---
    Then what about the opposite? Isn't
    there someone whom you need, Ledo?
[20:07] ---
    My sister and I need each other.
[20:11] ---
    And more than anything, I need myself.
[20:16] ---
    That's why I'm alive.
[20:17] ---
    I...
[20:20] ---
    To the Alliance, a useful existence
    has no attachment to survival.
[20:24] ---
    Then what was this to you, Ledo?
[20:27] ---
    That...
[20:29] ---
    Sis told me you were making it,
    but didn't know what it was.
[20:34] ---
    This has to be a flute, right?
[20:37] ---
    It's not necessary at all for war.
[20:40] ---
    Flu...te...?
[20:42] ---
    Yeah. It can produce a sound.
[21:03] ---
    Ledo, what's wrong?
[21:06] ---
    You're crying.
[21:08] ---
    This is...
[21:10] ---
    Did I say something wrong?
[21:12] ---
    No! I... don't know...
[21:16] ---
    Why...?
[21:18] ---
    You must have recalled something sad.
[21:21] ---
    Oh... really?
[21:24] ---
    Bebel...
[21:25] ---
    What?
[21:26] ---
    I... want that... one more time...
[21:29] ---
    Of course!
[21:37] ---
    I made some tea!
[21:39] ---
    Saaya's recommendation. It's good!
[21:49] ---
    Chamber, you still don't
    know our coordinates?
[21:52] ---
    Lack of observational data.
    More time is necessary.
[21:56] ---
    I see...
[21:58] ---
    It looks like I need to learn a
    little more about this planet.
[22:01] ---
    Unnecessary. Eventually, you
    will rejoin the main unit.
[22:07] ---
    Yeah. I know.
