[00:07] ---
    Don't! It's a whalesquid! Leave it alone!
[00:26] ---
    Targeting accuracy is lower
    due to undersea conditions.
[00:29] ---
    I'll hit it with my next one!
[00:30] ---
    Come back, Ledo!
[00:31] ---
    If that thing gets riled up,
    it'll become even more violent!
[00:37] ---
    Crap!
[00:42] ---
    Take this!
[00:47] ---
    Charge next shot!
[00:48] ---
    Suggestion: Use of beam weapon
    undersea is inefficient.
[00:52] ---
    Possible damage to allied craft
    has also been taken into account.
[00:55] ---
    In that case...
[01:03] ---
    No!
SIGN    A Soldier's Fate
[02:57] ---
    Yo! Lookin' good!
[03:00] ---
    Knock it off. I'm in no laughing mood.
[03:03] ---
    That reminds me, the alien flew
    back in a little while ago.
[03:09] ---
    He said he did in a whalesquid.
[03:14] ---
    What did he do?!
[03:15] ---
    People have regarded whalesquids as
    sacred creatures since ancient times.
[03:20] ---
    To murder one with no cause whatsoever...
[03:24] ---
    Ledo, what are you thinking?!
[03:27] ---
    The citizens are in shock
    and it's spreading fast.
[03:30] ---
    Rumors are even going around
    that this will bring on a curse.
[03:35] ---
    He's the one that started all this, right?
[03:38] ---
    It's only natural for
    everyone to be anxious...
[03:42] ---
    Seriously?!
[03:43] ---
    What's happening?
[03:51] ---
    Even though it's just superstition...
[03:53] ---
    ...to seafarers, it's the ultimate taboo.
[03:56] ---
    I just hope that nothing comes of this...
[04:10] ---
    Here.
[04:15] ---
    How long will it take?
[04:18] ---
    Estimate: Four hours for DNA
    amplification and analysis.
[04:22] ---
    Hurry.
[04:24] ---
    Roger.
[04:25] ---
    However, chances that results will differ from
    the intrinsic reaction analysis are small.
[04:29] ---
    I know.
[04:31] ---
    I want to find out if the Earth Hideauze
    have any unique characteristics.
[04:34] ---
    Roger.
[04:36] ---
    The Hideauze have even invaded the Earth...
[04:47] ---
    Could I have brought them here from space?!
[04:51] ---
    No, it can't be...
[04:53] ---
    Ensign...
[04:55] ---
    It's possible to do a biological analysis,
[04:57] ---
    but I am unable to obtain information
    on their invasion strategy.
[05:01] ---
    I'll gather info from the fleet.
[05:03] ---
    I need to know their total
    numbers and range of activities--
[05:06] ---
    Someone is approaching.
[05:22] ---
    Okay, that's good.
[05:24] ---
    How do you feel?
[05:27] ---
    Not bad these days, thanks to you, Doctor.
[05:35] ---
    Go easy on your official duties, and think
    about taking a vacation once in a while.
[05:39] ---
    Move to the main ship,
    which has a lot of green...
[05:42] ---
    I like it here.
[05:46] ---
    I may not be able to walk anymore,
[05:48] ---
    but these legs remember well
    just how big this fleet is.
[05:54] ---
    These eyes and ears remember
    what kind of people are aboard.
[05:59] ---
    I want to keep protecting the smiles
    and voices of the people who live here.
[06:05] ---
    That's the proof that I'm alive.
[06:10] ---
    I'm no match for you.
[06:12] ---
    Just when you need to play it safe,
[06:16] ---
    it seems the fleet has gotten
    involved with a whalesquid.
[06:19] ---
    Wonderful...
[06:21] ---
    No matter how old I get, there
    are always new experiences.
[06:27] ---
    You're saying you're not afraid?
[06:29] ---
    No matter what the reality of
    the situation is, accepting it
[06:32] ---
    is a privilege for those of us who are alive.
[06:35] ---
    Privilege?
[06:37] ---
    Of course, if we can't see
    it through to the end,
[06:40] ---
    all we can do is entrust it to the young.
[06:44] ---
    You're right.
[06:47] ---
    You guys must've heard.
[06:50] ---
    There's treasure nobody else has
    looked for in whalesquid territory.
[06:57] ---
    And we're gonna bring it up!
[06:59] ---
    Oodles of it! Barrels full!
[07:02] ---
    Yeah?
[07:03] ---
    Nobody else would dare to dive into
    the middle of a whalesquid lair!
[07:07] ---
    That's the thing.
[07:08] ---
    In the first place, who's confirmed
    that there's treasure in their nest?
[07:14] ---
    There is somebody who saw
    it with his own eyes.
[07:17] ---
    He told me... right before he died.
[07:22] ---
    W-We're repairmen, not salvagers!
[07:26] ---
    And what kind of idiot would be willing
    to mix it up with a whalesquid?!
[07:29] ---
    The idiot who owns that tin can!
[07:32] ---
    With him on our side, even
    monsters are a piece of cake!
[07:34] ---
    D-Don't tell me they're
    already on board with this?!
[07:38] ---
    For that... I need a little time...
[07:41] ---
    What the hell?! He hasn't
    even made the arrangements?
[07:44] ---
    I'll listen once you've actually got
    Spaceboy and the tin can lined up.
[07:48] ---
    Meeting adjourned.
[07:52] ---
    What were you doing?! You were with him!
[07:54] ---
    How could you let him attack a whalesquid?!
[07:59] ---
    All of the ship owners are concerned, too.
[08:03] ---
    Look at all of the requests I've gotten
    demanding that measures be taken.
[08:07] ---
    I won't make any excuses.
[08:08] ---
    It's my fault for not warning
    him properly beforehand.
[08:12] ---
    In other words... there
    are many more of them?
[08:16] ---
    In that case... I will carry out my
    mission by continuing to kill them.
[08:21] ---
    Do you... know what you're saying?!
[08:26] ---
    The Hideauze are a threat to the human race.
[08:30] ---
    A war of extermination is our only choice.
[08:32] ---
    That's just what you say.
[08:35] ---
    We have no reason to kill
    the whalesquids whatsoever.
[08:41] ---
    Unless the threat is eliminated
    completely, there can be no true peace.
[08:46] ---
    Where are you right now?!
[08:48] ---
    This is Gargantia, right?!
[08:51] ---
    The Fleet Commander would like
    a detailed briefing from you.
[08:55] ---
    Good timing. They're here, too.
[08:57] ---
    Would you have the Fleet Commander
    hear you arguing with them?
[09:02] ---
    No, it's fine. I'll report to him.
[09:06] ---
    You two can leave.
[09:26] ---
    Hey, Flange!
[09:30] ---
    What?!
[09:47] ---
    Ledo...
[09:50] ---
    Hideauze...
[09:52] ---
    I mean, tell me about the whalesquid.
[09:55] ---
    How many are there?
[09:57] ---
    What is their combat strength?
    Do they have any weaknesses?
[10:00] ---
    W-Wait a second, Ledo!
[10:03] ---
    Do you still mean to do something
    to them? You better not!
[10:07] ---
    The whalesquid are terrifying
    creatures if you start something,
[10:11] ---
    but they never attack unprovoked.
[10:13] ---
    That's right! Wouldn't you
    feel bad about killing them?
[10:16] ---
    Impossible.
[10:18] ---
    They are enemies that need to be wiped out.
[10:20] ---
    Why can't you understand that?!
[10:22] ---
    After coming all the way to Earth, why
    are you trying to continue your war?!
[10:26] ---
    Don't draw us into a conflict
    that has nothing to do with us!
[10:28] ---
    Right now, your civilization...
[10:33] ---
    I have no idea what you're saying!
[10:35] ---
    At present, your civilization is merely being
    ignored by the Hideauze because of its simplicity.
[10:43] ---
    It is only a matter of
    time before they strike.
[10:45] ---
    When that happens, how
    will you people respond?
[10:49] ---
    I-I don't...
[10:52] ---
    Have specific measures been planned?
[10:54] ---
    Do you people even have a vision
    to develop your civilization?
[10:57] ---
    You don't even think about that, but your
    fellow humans are fighting right now.
[11:06] ---
    It is too late to act when
    the enemy shows hostility.
[11:08] ---
    I will attack before that happens.
[11:11] ---
    Ledo...
[11:13] ---
    You won't change your mind?
[11:15] ---
    I live to kill them.
[11:20] ---
    You don't have to do that.
    Ledo, you're your own person...
[11:34] ---
    Pinion, if you've got a funny
    idea in mind, forget about it.
[11:38] ---
    What's that mean?!
[11:40] ---
    You're thinking of using Ledo and Chamber
    to go deep into whalesquid territory.
[11:46] ---
    What's wrong with that? He's got a beef
    with the whalesquid anyway, right?
[11:51] ---
    If there's treasure at the bottom, I
    can just swoop down and grab it all up.
[11:53] ---
    Even if it means putting the fleet in danger?
[11:56] ---
    No matter what you dredge up, if it's not
    useful to Gargantia, it's meaningless!
[12:00] ---
    Of course it'll be useful!
[12:02] ---
    I'm talkin' about unexplored regions!
    To find unheard-of treasures!
[12:08] ---
    What do you think? Join my team. It's
    gotta get a salvager's blood racing.
[12:12] ---
    Sorry, but I'm not interested in
    a little kid's expedition team.
[12:17] ---
    What's that?!
[12:19] ---
    You wanna bring stuff up for the sake of
    your two-bit pride, so you can brag about it.
[12:24] ---
    You can't dive yourself, so you use other people,
     and you're satisfied with that, huh?
[12:31] ---
    Bellows, you wench!
[12:48] ---
    And I swore I'd get revenge
    for my big brother...
[12:53] ---
    That's just a dream, too...
[12:58] ---
    How's the connection to the Alliance coming?
[13:00] ---
    There is still no response.
[13:02] ---
    And our coordinates?
[13:04] ---
    Analysis: Further parallax observation
    of this planet's orbit is required.
[13:09] ---
    Dammit.
[13:11] ---
    Analysis of the biological
    sample is complete.
[13:14] ---
    What's the result?
[13:16] ---
    Although the composition of the exoskeleton
    has adapted to the environment,
[13:20] ---
    there is no difference between the
    genetic makeup of this and the Hideauze.
[13:24] ---
    Confirmed: They are identical species.
[13:26] ---
    I knew it!
[13:28] ---
    The policy of destruction isn't wrong.
[13:31] ---
    It's necessary for the humans of Earth, too.
[13:34] ---
    Why can't they understand that?
[13:37] ---
    Conjecture:
[13:38] ---
    According to language analysis,
[13:40] ---
    the definition of "survival strategy"
    for the human race of Earth
[13:43] ---
    greatly differs from that of the Alliance.
[13:46] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:49] ---
    The answer to that question is not
    in any standard Alliance dictionary.
[13:53] ---
    However, it exists in Earth language.
[13:56] ---
    Say it.
[13:58] ---
    "Co-existence and co-prosperity".
[14:10] ---
    The sea galaxy is active!
[14:11] ---
    I've never seen anything like it!
[14:13] ---
    What?!
[14:18] ---
    Hey! Are those whalesquid?!
[14:21] ---
    Back up!
[14:34] ---
    Confirmed: Multiple objects
    approaching from the sea.
[14:37] ---
    Conjecture: Based on the noise of
    their propulsion, they are Hideauze.
[14:43] ---
    Chamber, come to me!
[15:19] ---
    Don't go! Please!
[15:25] ---
    Sonic wave transponder is picking up an
    incredible number of them at 10 o'clock!
[15:29] ---
    Depth approximately 30 meters!
[15:31] ---
    30?!
[15:32] ---
    Double the number of patrol craft!
[15:34] ---
    Have all the escorts get up
    to the fleet and stand by!
[15:37] ---
    This can't be happening...
[15:40] ---
    I've never heard of a pod of them
    coming up this close to the surface.
[15:44] ---
    How in the world do we handle this?
[15:46] ---
    At this rate, they'll intersect our course!
[15:50] ---
    Whalesquid! A whole pod
    of them is approaching!
[15:57] ---
    Come on!
[15:57] ---
    Hurry!
[16:03] ---
    Raise it! Raise it!
[16:06] ---
    This is because we let that
    alien on board, dammit!
[16:10] ---
    Please help us!
[16:11] ---
    Please leave us be!
[16:21] ---
    Fleet Commander!
[16:28] ---
    Turn off the siren.
[16:30] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:34] ---
    I'll take command. If you don't mind?
[16:36] ---
    N-No, of course not.
[16:39] ---
    But...
[16:41] ---
    This is Fleet Commander Fairlock.
    I want you all to listen to me.
[16:47] ---
    A pod of whalesquid is approaching the fleet.
[16:50] ---
    There is a substantial number of them,
[16:52] ---
    but as long as we don't make a
    mistake, there is no danger.
[16:56] ---
    As much as possible, do
    not stimulate the pod.
[16:59] ---
    From this moment on, Gargantia is
    going to power down completely.
[17:06] ---
    Ridget, relay this instruction
    to all of the ships.
[17:10] ---
    There are to be no lights or sounds.
[17:13] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[17:22] ---
    After we power down, all citizens
    standby right where you are.
[17:26] ---
    Don't make any unnecessary sounds!
[17:40] ---
    Help!
[17:45] ---
    Main power turning off!
[17:54] ---
    Get out of my way.
[17:56] ---
    No!
[17:58] ---
    Then I have no choice.
[18:05] ---
    No! Don't go! Please!
[18:08] ---
    Let go of me!
[18:09] ---
    Why?! My battle has nothing
    to do with you people!
[18:13] ---
    It does have to do with us!
[18:15] ---
    You mean the fleet?
[18:17] ---
    Then I will not make trouble
    for you. I will leave.
[18:20] ---
    I will fight alone!
[18:21] ---
    That's not it!
[18:23] ---
    I don't want you to do something
    this dangerous! I...
[18:30] ---
    Ridget...
[18:33] ---
    I told you before. Comply with our policies.
[18:37] ---
    I refuse!
[18:38] ---
    I can't allow that.
[18:41] ---
    If the whalesquid attack the
    fleet, you can do as you like.
[18:45] ---
    But as long as they don't, I'm
    keeping you on a short leash.
[19:41] ---
    They're directly under the fleet right now.
[20:29] ---
    Ledo...
[20:30] ---
    Don't touch me!
[20:36] ---
    As long as I am here, I
    cannot carry out my mission.
[20:40] ---
    I am a soldier.
[20:49] ---
    Ledo. No...
[20:55] ---
    I want Ledo and Chamber to work for me.
[20:58] ---
    If we team up, I'll be able to
    salvage from whalesquid territory.
[21:03] ---
    Are you serious?!
[21:05] ---
    Would I be able to joke
    about somethin' like this?
[21:09] ---
    They've already agreed.
[21:11] ---
    We'll be apart from Gargantia.
[21:14] ---
    So sign it already.
[21:19] ---
    Fleet Commander, I also seek permission
    to accompany them with my ships.
[21:27] ---
    Flange...
[21:28] ---
    You too? Why?!
[21:31] ---
    If a major ship owner like you leaves, the
     fleet's defensive capability drops sharply!
[21:36] ---
    The legacy of a once-great age
    is lying on the ocean floor.
[21:41] ---
    If we can reclaim even
    a small amount of it...
[21:44] ---
    I don't want any hard feelings over this.
[21:47] ---
    This is unbelievable...
[21:49] ---
    Never. I won't let the
    narrow interests of the few
[21:52] ---
    jeopardize all of Gargantia! My answer is...
[22:01] ---
    Fleet Commander!
[22:03] ---
    Fleet Commander!
[22:04] ---
    Oh, no! Call Dr. Oldham!
[22:06] ---
    Fleet Commander!
[22:08] ---
