[00:06] ---
    This is the Sea of Mist I heard tell of.
[00:08] ---
    Is it true that nobody's ever
    come back alive from it?
[00:12] ---
    That's just a rumor.
[00:26] ---
    There it is! This is gonna be a big haul!
[00:29] ---
    All stop!
[00:31] ---
    Alright, boss of the tin can, you're on!
[00:35] ---
    I'm going to begin aggressive maneuvers.
[00:43] ---
    Hideauze colony drawing near.
[00:47] ---
    They've got overwhelming numbers.
[00:49] ---
    Affirmative. Conjecture: On the other hand,
    in the area of fighting power, I am superior.
[00:55] ---
    Suggestion: Carry out an independent mission.
[00:57] ---
    That was the idea!
[01:04] ---
    Alright!
[01:06] ---
    Preparing fusillade.
[01:08] ---
    That'll save us some effort.
[01:11] ---
    Too slow!
[01:17] ---
    At this rate, I can take
    out any number of them.
[01:19] ---
    Affirmative.
[01:21] ---
    It appears the Earth-type Hideauze are much
    weaker than the ones we've encountered.
[01:26] ---
    Their combat efficiency is 1/120th of mine.
[01:29] ---
    With current armaments, it is possible to
    continue attacking and drive them away.
[01:33] ---
    No, I'm going to massacre
    the whole lot of them.
SIGN    Deep Sea Secret
[03:12] ---
    Alright, maintain current
    course. Watch the depth gauge.
[03:16] ---
    He's sure it's this way?
[03:18] ---
    I don't wanna get lost in the
    middle of a bunch of whalesquid.
[03:21] ---
    They're supposed to be cursed, too.
[03:23] ---
    Cut it out!
[03:24] ---
    Leave it to me!
[03:27] ---
    If we do everything according to
    plan, there's nothin' to worry about!
[03:31] ---
    I won't panic again.
[03:48] ---
    Bro, we're in deep shit here. I've never
    seen this many whalesquid at once.
[03:52] ---
    Keep your cool. As long as we
    don't agitate them, we'll be fine.
[03:56] ---
    We're taking a roundabout
    route, towards 10 o'clock.
[03:58] ---
    10 o'clock! Roger!
[04:13] ---
    Bro! That's...
[04:15] ---
    Yeah. Like we thought. A genuine treasure island.
[04:20] ---
    Did humans really create something
    as incredible as this?
[04:24] ---
    I'll check it out. You
    stay here and keep watch.
[04:27] ---
    Be careful, Bro!
[04:29] ---
    Worrywart. I'll be right back.
[04:37] ---
    I'm inside. There are gigantic
    machines around.
[04:41] ---
    This place isn't just accommodations.
    It's an industrial facility.
[04:46] ---
    Whalesquid!
[04:47] ---
    This is amazing!
[04:49] ---
    I'm not talking lousy spare parts, but
    genuine remains of the past civilization!
[04:56] ---
    Bro, you've seen enough.
[04:59] ---
    Either way, the two of us
    can't bring it up alone.
[05:01] ---
    Even if we do come back, first I
     need to get a rough idea of the area.
[05:06] ---
    Right now, I'm heading for the door.
[05:09] ---
    What's this huge one?
[05:11] ---
    Oh, no! This is a whalesquid nest!
[05:13] ---
    Bro!
[05:26] ---
    Goddammit! You bastards!
[05:28] ---
    Pinion! Get away!
[05:33] ---
    Bro!
[05:39] ---
    Bro. I'm back...
[05:57] ---
    Warning: Due to current maximizing,
    23% of my energy has been consumed.
[06:03] ---
    Operating underwater is inefficient.
[06:05] ---
    I know. That's why I've
    got the handheld weapon.
[06:18] ---
    What the...?!
[06:20] ---
    The main force?!
[06:21] ---
    Firing proximity fuse.
[06:24] ---
    Roger!
[06:35] ---
    The hell... So they can be killed...
[06:38] ---
    They're not demons or anything like that!
[06:40] ---
    What'd I tell you?
[06:42] ---
    Ledo, how you doin' down there?
[06:44] ---
    No problem.
[06:45] ---
    Alright! Just keep it up. Lure
    those bastards out of their nest.
[06:48] ---
    In another five minutes,
    we're gonna be ready to go.
[06:51] ---
    Understood.
[07:00] ---
    Right up ahead...
[07:15] ---
    Warning: Density of enemy signs increasing.
[07:27] ---
    Number of simultaneous targets is excessive.
    Recommendation: Retreat.
[07:32] ---
    We're ready up here! Just say the word!
[07:34] ---
    Understood!
[07:39] ---
    Alright! Now!
[07:40] ---
    Okay!
[07:41] ---
    Drop 'em!
[07:50] ---
    Anti-shock barrier.
[08:01] ---
    No damage incurred. Turning off shelter mode.
[08:06] ---
    Situation report?
[08:07] ---
    Currently, 67% of the enemy's offensive
    capability has been eliminated.
[08:12] ---
    It continues to decrease.
[08:13] ---
    Good.
[08:21] ---
    I see. Once you're done there, move
    on to the next spot as per the plan.
[08:25] ---
    It's workin' perfectly! Keep tossin' em!
[08:28] ---
    Yeah!
[08:29] ---
    Fine, but is that Yunboro gonna be okay?
[08:32] ---
    It's fine. That tin can
    ain't your average Yunboro.
[08:36] ---
    Then I won't hold back!
[08:46] ---
    Look at all those lightbugs!
    That spray of water was glowing!
[08:49] ---
    Even though fish can't live
    here, there are whalesquid, huh?
[08:53] ---
    Where to next?
[08:54] ---
    Inference: It appears the enemy force has
    retreated, likely to defend their base.
[08:59] ---
    Their base... Is that the nest
    Pinion was talking about?
[09:02] ---
    Echolocation analysis
    complete. Now displaying.
[09:08] ---
    That...
[09:38] ---
    What is this?!
[09:44] ---
    Warning: Overall level of
    fatigue near the limit.
[09:47] ---
    Recommendation: Temporarily retreat and
    then attack again later at full power.
[09:51] ---
    I'd be a fool to let this chance get away.
[09:54] ---
    Roger. Continuing the mission.
[09:57] ---
    Ion concentration rising.
    Electrolysis reaction in progress.
[10:05] ---
    Confirmed: Discharge of strong
    electromagnetic field in the target range.
[10:08] ---
    What?!
[10:11] ---
    Anti-shock barrier.
[10:20] ---
    What is that?!
[10:21] ---
    Don't tell me it's the curse...
[10:23] ---
    This is Pinion. Ledo, can you hear me?!
[10:27] ---
    Hey, Ledo! Tin can! What's wrong?! Answer me!
[10:35] ---
    Ledo here.
[10:37] ---
    So you're alright?!
[10:40] ---
    Okay! Let's keep it goin' here, too!
[10:42] ---
    Yeah!
[10:49] ---
    I let my guard down. Still, contrary to
    their looks, they're all pretty weak.
[10:53] ---
    Conjecture: A lack of natural
    enemies has resulted in devolution.
[10:56] ---
    You can analyze it later.
[11:00] ---
    How much energy do we have left?
[11:02] ---
    53%.
[11:03] ---
    Okay!
[11:08] ---
    Alright! Ledo and the tin can did it!
[11:12] ---
    Now we can take all the treasure we want!
[11:14] ---
    Yeah!
[11:15] ---
    Everyone, prepare for landing!
[11:22] ---
    Watch me, Bro.
[11:28] ---
    Can you see anything?
[11:30] ---
    Not a thing. The mist is too thick.
[11:33] ---
    I hope the hottie is okay.
    After all, Pinion is in charge.
[11:40] ---
    The least he could do is
    issue a progress report.
[11:43] ---
    Right now, all we can do
    is put our faith in Pinion.
[11:55] ---
    What is this?
[11:56] ---
    Conjecture: Hideauze in
    the process of growing.
[11:59] ---
    They're Hideauze children...
[12:02] ---
    Much is unknown about the Hideauze life
    cycle. This is valuable information.
[12:16] ---
    They're Hideauze?
[12:17] ---
    Individual organism response analysis
    complete. All patterns match the Hideauze.
[12:22] ---
    Henceforth, I will refer
    to them as Hideauze larvae.
[12:38] ---
    A spawning ground...
[12:39] ---
    Continuing the mission.
[12:50] ---
    What was that?
[12:51] ---
    Conjecture: This facility's
    administration block.
[13:02] ---
    What's that?
[13:03] ---
    Conjecture: A type of storage medium
    used in extreme environments.
[13:08] ---
    Can the data be salvaged?
[13:12] ---
    Successfully accessed. Now
    searching for data standard.
[13:16] ---
    Approximate standard discovered.
    Reasoning engine activated.
[13:20] ---
    Will attempt to restore as well as translate.
[13:23] ---
    Restoration complete.
[13:25] ---
    Alright. Open it.
[13:28] ---
    Impossible to disclose data.
[13:29] ---
    Impossible?
[13:31] ---
    This facility is clearly a research
    facility from the ancient civilization.
[13:36] ---
    However, this material is considered classified
     information by the Galactic Alliance of Humankind.
[13:40] ---
    Classified information?
[13:44] ---
    What's the point of that
    at a time like this?!
[13:47] ---
    It is military protocol.
[13:48] ---
    Look at where we are!
[13:50] ---
    The highest-ranking person on
    site has the right to command.
[13:55] ---
    Am I right?!
[13:57] ---
    Affirmative.
[13:58] ---
    Who's the highest-ranking person here?!
[14:01] ---
    Ensign Ledo.
[14:03] ---
    Ensign Ledo orders pilot support
    enlightenment interface system Chamber
[14:08] ---
    to release the classified information!
[14:10] ---
    Roger. The order will be carried out.
[14:28] ---
    Don't be hasty. We need
    to scout it out first.
[14:33] ---
    Make sure of your sounding and footing.
[14:34] ---
    We know!
[14:38] ---
    I'm counting on you, Ledo!
[14:44] ---
    The human race must now start
    walking on its own two legs.
[14:48] ---
    And the person who has volunteered to take
    that first step is right here, Ryan Matsumoto.
[14:53] ---
    This is a dangerous mission...
[14:56] ---
    That's because it's never been done before.
[14:58] ---
    However, we're backed up by a wonderful
    staff, so with their help, this mission...
[15:09] ---
    Now, with the fifth ice age almost upon us,
[15:12] ---
    the necessity of our research
    has reached a critical level.
[15:17] ---
    However, hasty scientific developments
    destroy old traditions
[15:22] ---
    and ruin people's happiness,
    or so many of you fear.
[15:29] ---
    But actually, religion and traditions have
    changed along with scientific advances.
[15:34] ---
    And because of our continuous research,
    happiness may be attainable for the first time.
[15:40] ---
    I take this opportunity to announce
    the birth of a free science citadel.
[15:45] ---
    The activities of the Self-evolving
    Movement, nicknamed the Evolvers,
[15:49] ---
    are drawing various protests
    from all over the world.
[15:53] ---
    I think it's very unfortunate.
[15:56] ---
    What about the doubts over
    human genome manipulation,
[15:58] ---
    which also violates international
    treaty provisions?
[16:00] ---
    Solving the problem that we're up against
    requires a more flexible response.
[16:07] ---
    I would have to say that current
    international regulations are behind the times.
[16:13] ---
    As a response to the increasing problem
    of the earth's cool-down period,
[16:16] ---
    there are calls for the immediate
    development of space.
[16:21] ---
    Right now in the Continental Union,
[16:24] ---
    the development is proceeding apace of
    a space station and interstellar immigration ship.
[16:29] ---
    This space development
    technology is essential,
[16:34] ---
    but we can't say that it's perfect.
[16:38] ---
    After all, machines aren't going into space.
[16:42] ---
    We humans are.
[16:49] ---
    Since last week's shocking
    leak of inside information,
[16:54] ---
    the worldwide opposition movement
    against the Evolvers has stepped up.
[16:59] ---
    The Continental Union didn't wait
    for a United Nations resolution
[17:03] ---
    before dispatching a foreign fleet.
[17:06] ---
    Meanwhile, there are a great number of
    countries that stand by the Evolvers.
[17:10] ---
    It's expected that the situation
    will become even more complicated.
[17:25] ---
    And so, the immigrants
    searched for a viable planet,
[17:29] ---
    a search that would take at least
    dozens, maybe hundreds of years.
[17:33] ---
    There was only one way to
    salvage this situation.
[17:36] ---
    They applied mechanical
    engineering to biology.
[17:41] ---
    By evolving the human body, we became
    able to adapt to the vacuum of space,
[17:46] ---
    astronomical distances,
    and a vast amount of time.
[17:56] ---
    The symbiont is a marvelous invention.
[17:59] ---
    It can breathe oxygen underwater and
    withstand the water pressure of the deep sea.
[18:04] ---
    Eventually, I'm sure it'll adapt
    to the absolute zero vacuum.
[18:08] ---
    It gets nutrition support from
    the symbiotic nanomachines.
[18:11] ---
    It's similar to photosynthesis,
    but is even more efficient.
[18:15] ---
    Papa!
[18:19] ---
    Papa!
[18:23] ---
    We have to say bye-bye to Papa.
[18:25] ---
    Papa is going away?
[18:26] ---
    No, we'll be able...
[18:27] ---
    Last week, the controversial
    Evolvers were under fire again
[18:30] ---
    when their internal information
    regarding recruiting was leaked
[18:34] ---
    and it became clear that a number
    of atrocious human experiments
[18:37] ---
    violating international law had taken place.
[19:02] ---
    While Earth's sustainable humanosphere is
    rapidly decreasing due to the cooling trend,
[19:07] ---
    the war between the Continental Union and
    the Evolvers over escaping Earth is escalating.
[19:15] ---
    Currently, the chief battlefields are in
    orbit and at floating launch facilities,
[19:19] ---
    but it's thought that the
    war will continue to expand.
[19:24] ---
    We've discovered that the Continental Union
    is working on a large-scale wormhole drive.
[19:30] ---
    The facility includes a self-destruct system.
[19:33] ---
    After completion, they'll simultaneously
    destroy it and escape the Solar System,
[19:37] ---
    thereby stranding us on Earth,
    except now we know their plan.
[19:42] ---
    This is our chance!
[19:44] ---
    By attacking and seizing the
    wormhole drive for ourselves,
[19:48] ---
    we Evolvers will be able to spread the
    domain of the living to unknown galaxies.
[19:54] ---
    The Evolvers will dwell in infinite
    space and achieve eternal prosperity!
[20:20] ---
    That is the end of the recorded
    information I could play back.
[20:23] ---
    Several points of contradiction
    with official Alliance information are noted.
[20:27] ---
    Its credibility is extremely low.
[20:29] ---
    Then what was that?!
[20:32] ---
    Who made it and for what purpose?!
[20:36] ---
    Hypothesis: It is possible the enemy
    created it to manipulate information.
[20:40] ---
    The enemy?! What's the enemy?!
[20:43] ---
    I thought the Hideauze
    were a lower form of life!
[20:55] ---
    Surviving Hideauze discovered.
    I will destroy it.
[21:00] ---
    No!
[21:19] ---
    Set all equipment-related stuff to starboard!
[21:23] ---
    What the hell is Ledo doin'?
[21:26] ---
