    Target altitude reached.
[00:09] ---
    Okay. We're switching to scenario 2-A.
[00:11] ---
    Gripen, switch to flight mode "jagt."
[00:16] ---
    You will encounter the enemy in 30 seconds.
[00:18] ---
    EPCM is active.
[00:20] ---
    Roger.
[00:21] ---
    Switching to autonomous

    We're only at the simulator stage,
    and look at her.
[02:16] ---
    B-But this is after she's been awake
    longer than usual for her.
[02:21] ---
    Her consciousness level was stable.
[02:23] ---
    Yeah. Thanks to you,
    our Sleeping Beauty has improved a lot.
[02:29] ---
    But "being awake" and "being able to pilot
    a plane" are two very different things.
[02:34] ---
    We're nowhere near where we need to be.
[02:36] ---
    Upsetting.
[02:38] ---
    I don't want you thinking that
    this is my true strength.
[02:42] ---
    Damn right.
[02:43] ---
    If you perform like that
    at the test next week,
[02:46] ---
    I'll sign the paperwork to scrap
    you right then and there.
[02:49] ---
    But this isn't anything like a Daughter.
[02:52] ---
    I can't fly right in this thing.
[02:55] ---
    Wow, this setup is incredible.
[02:58] ---
    What don't you like?
[02:59] ---
    The control systems are all wrong.
[03:01] ---
    It's slow to respond.
[03:03] ---
    There's no feedback from external stimuli.
[03:07] ---
    We rushed to get that thing made.
[03:10] ---
    And that NFI only got
    added after it was built.
[03:14] ---
    NFI?
[03:17] ---
    That.
[03:18] ---
    Those things on both sides
    of the seat are the NFI.
[03:21] ---
    The Neural Fusion Interface.
[03:23] ---
    It links the Daughter's controls
    with your sensory organs.
[03:27] ---
    It expands your neural network out
    to the very tip of the airframe.
[03:31] ---
    So you can fly with just a thought?
[03:33] ---
    Not quite.
[03:35] ---
    It's the same way a human moves their limbs.
[03:38] ---
    If you want to move to the right,
    the elevons will activate.
[03:42] ---
    If you want to decelerate,
    the engines will decrease their output.
[03:45] ---
    Wow, that's amazing.
[03:48] ---
    Wait, does that mean that if you
    had to pilot a plane like normal,
[03:52] ---
    you'd be really bad at it?
[03:54] ---
    Your lack of understanding shocks me.
[03:57] ---
    Your ignorance exceeds my imagination
    and inspires me to rage.
[04:00] ---
    You should try it too, then.
[04:02] ---
    No, I...
[04:04] ---
    Go ahead.
[04:06] ---
    We need to reset all the settings, anyway.
[04:09] ---
    You've flown a Cessna, right?
[04:14] ---
    The die has been cast.
[04:20] ---
    Wow... this skips almost all
    of the pre-flight checklist!
[04:24] ---
    The airframe computer will auto-adjust
    its own attitude to a certain degree.
[04:28] ---
    Pretty handy, right?
[04:30] ---
    Well, even if you crash, you'll live.
[04:32] ---
    So don't worry about a thing.
[04:45] ---
    You've got good instincts.
[04:47] ---
    I thought you'd have a harder time with it.
[04:51] ---
    If this was a real plane,
    I'd be too scared to do anything.
[04:53] ---
    Pretty impressive, though.
[04:57] ---
    Oh no...
[05:04] ---
    Flying in an empty sky
    is pretty dull, right?
[05:08] ---
    Seriously?
[05:09] ---
    If that thing gets on your six,
    you're a dead man.
[05:11] ---
    That's not fair!
[05:23] ---
    Fine! I'll let it get ahead of me
    and shoot it down from behind!
[05:39] ---
    I managed to get it in front of me,
[05:41] ---
    but it's hard to get the plane
    back into the fight quickly.
[05:44] ---
    Kei.
[05:45] ---
    I demand an explanation.
[05:48] ---
    Everyone says that your flying
    is more stable than mine.
[05:51] ---
    Impossible. You must have
    been cheating somehow!
[05:55] ---
    No way.
[05:56] ---
    Anyway, this thing is really easy to fly.
[05:58] ---
    It's not defective at all.
[06:00] ---
    It feels like I could pilot the real thing
    if I had a few more tries with this.
[06:07] ---
    Well?
[06:10] ---
    That was an amazing experience.
[06:12] ---
    Can I try it again sometime?
[06:15] ---
    Sure, depending on how Gripen's looking.
[06:18] ---
    Her test flight is in seven days, after all.
[06:21] ---
    Oh, I see.
[06:23] ---
    Okay, let's both do our best!
[06:26] ---
    Why are you telling me what to do?
SIGN    Sunoken
SIGN    No Smoking
[07:31] ---
    We figured out why Gripen's
    been doing better.
[07:34] ---
    Or more precisely, we figured
    out what's going on.
[07:38] ---
    But...
[07:40] ---
    Look at this.
[07:44] ---
    This is Gripen's EGG graph.
[07:46] ---
    Her brainwave pattern, essentially.
[07:51] ---
    It's started to get unstable.
[07:53] ---
    Yes.
[07:54] ---
    When this unstable state continues,
    she loses consciousness.
[07:59] ---
    But...
[08:02] ---
    The graph below shows your brain waves.
[08:03] ---
    When Gripen's EGG graph is
    influenced by your brain waves...
[08:09] ---
    This is...
[08:10] ---
    The oscillation synchronizes,
    and it stabilizes.
[08:13] ---
    It happens whenever you're
    within about ten meters.
[08:17] ---
    We'll need to get some more
    data to find the exact number.
[08:24] ---
    But it's impossible for someone's
    brain waves to synchronize
[08:27] ---
    with someone else's without
    even a millisecond of lag.
[08:30] ---
    Not unless the patterns were
    established in advance.
[08:35] ---
    Established in advance?
[08:40] ---
    Let me ask you something.
[08:42] ---
    You never met her before
    you left Shanghai, right?
[08:47] ---
    No...
[08:50] ---
    Well, whatever.
[08:52] ---
    As long as you're near her, she's stable.
[08:57] ---
    All we need to do now is adjust
    the intervals where she's awake.
[09:00] ---
    We can't have you going up in the air with
    her to keep her stable, after all.
[09:11] ---
    Hey. Sounds like you're doing good.
[09:13] ---
    Thanks to you.
[09:15] ---
    When you are near, I feel better.

    Those bastards.
[10:04] ---
    They destroyed the whole city!
[10:08] ---
    This is awful.
[10:10] ---
    Why did they have to go this far?
[10:14] ---
    They didn't need to destroy every
    building in the city, did they?
[10:17] ---
    The city of Changshu was wiped
    from the face of the earth.

    Open it at home.

[10:41] ---
    So it's my way of saying thanks.
[10:42] ---
    Okay, I'll take it.

    Thanks.
[10:47] ---

[15:16] ---
    Kei, you jerk!
[15:22] ---
    Kei, thank you for everything.
[15:26] ---
    Because of you, I'm not
    scared of flying anymore.
[15:31] ---
    I'll do my best on my test flight.
[15:33] ---
    I told someone at the TRDI
    that I wanted to thank you,
[15:37] ---
    and they said, "Give him something
    handmade! Guys always fall for that,"
[15:42] ---
    so I read a lot of books, and then
    decided to make a muffler for you.
[15:46] ---
    Did you fall for it?
[15:48] ---
    I need to apologize to you.
[15:52] ---
    I've been hiding something big from you.
[15:56] ---
    I'm made from Xi parts.
[16:00] ---
    I'm told they extracted the core from
    a crashed Xi and grew me in a tube,
[16:05] ---
    using it as part of my spine.
[16:08] ---
    I can't really explain what
    makes me different than a Xi.
[16:13] ---
    But... I want you to know that
    I have no memories of being a Xi.
[16:19] ---
    My first memories are of being Gripen,
[16:22] ---
    and telling myself I had
    to protect humanity.
[16:27] ---
    I fly for humanity,
    and I fight for humanity.
[16:31] ---
    I thought that was normal.
[16:34] ---
    Because that's why the JAS39 was created.
[16:39] ---
    I was going to tell you this sooner...
[16:44] ---
    But when we went to the shrine,
[16:47] ---
    you said you hated the Xi,
[16:49] ---
    so I didn't.
[16:52] ---
    I didn't want you to hate me.
[16:56] ---
    But I can't keep lying forever.
[16:59] ---
    So I used all my courage
    to write this letter.
[17:03] ---
    I'm praying you'll come
    to see me tomorrow.
[17:09] ---
    I hate the Xi.
[17:15] ---
    But I don't hate you!

    Yes, this morning.
[17:35] ---
    And you decided to show up 'cause of it, huh?
[17:39] ---
    You really are easy.
[17:44] ---
    But... that's how she really feels.
[17:48] ---
    Those are her words, not the
    words of a program or a Xi.
[17:53] ---
    That, at least, I want you to understand.
[17:56] ---
    Right...
[17:58] ---
    Can she fly?
[18:00] ---
    It's a bit of a brute-force method,
[18:02] ---
    but we put her to sleep so she'd
    be awake when we needed her.
[18:06] ---
    We can probably at least fool them
    for the duration of the test flight.
