[00:02] Noid
    Is he really on Mars?
[00:04] Ash
    Who?
[00:06] Noid
    The suspect.
[00:07] Noid
    The one seen at the site of
    Dr. Roy Junghardt's murder.
[00:11] Noid
    That red figure.
[00:13] Ash
    He's there.
[00:14] Noid
    I'm worried.
[00:15] Ash
    Well, don't be.
[00:18] Ash
    Aletheia, the group that oversees Neans,
    is covering up both murders.
[00:23] Noid
    That sounds like typical Aletheia.
[00:26] Ash
    Electromagnetic waves were observed
[00:28] Ash
    at the time of the second murder,
    just like in Dr. Jung's case.
[00:31] Ash
    They said the victim was human, but...
[00:33] Noid
    There's a chance the victim was a Nean?
[00:36] Ash
    Aletheia wouldn't be on the move
    if a Nean wasn't involved.
[00:40] Ash
    The first happened on Earth,
    the second on Mars.
[00:43] Ash
    It's just common sense
    to follow that line in an investigation.
[00:45] Noid
    Investigator Ash, that doesn't seem like a
    very convincing reason for us to go to Mars.
[00:51] Ash
    It's just instinct, okay?
[00:54] Newscaster
    The video appears to become
    distorted in the vicinity
[00:58] Newscaster
    of this individual who seems
    to be the suspect.
[01:01] Ash
    It would seem this thing you call
    "instinct" warrants further research.
[02:40] Rouge
    You're late.
[02:41] Rouge
    And these are all for you.
[02:43] Naomi
    Now, don't get mad.
[02:50] Emily
    Bro!
[02:51] Miguel
    Whoa, cool!
[02:53] Emily
    I want a picture, too!
[02:54] Grandma
    Miguel, Emily, don't run
    around inside. It's dangerous.
[02:58] Smith
    I'll head over there tomorrow.
[03:00] Smith
    You have to see our latest product.
[03:08] Jill
    Hold up! I'm getting on!
[03:21] Emily
    No fair!
[03:22] Emily
    Let me see it!
    You've had it the whole time!
[03:26] Miguel
    You're too little to use it!
[03:27] Emily
    No!
[03:28] Naomi
    Hey, you two. Take a look at that.
[03:32] Miguel
    Whoa! What is that?!
[03:34] Naomi
    That's a Vostok-class second-class
    armored space defense craft.
[03:38] Miguel
    Vos-what?
[03:39] Naomi
    A battleship.
[03:40] Naomi
    During the great war, it traveled around Mars,
    right on the front line,
[03:45] Naomi
    fighting intense battles around the clock
    against any Usurpers in orbit.
[03:50] Miguel
    Usurpers?
[03:51] Naomi
    Once upon a time,
[03:54] Naomi
    aliens came from far beyond our galaxy.
[03:57] Naomi
    They were very friendly,
    so mankind called them "Visitors."
[04:02] Naomi
    After that, more aliens came. However!
[04:06] Naomi
    These aliens were very mean,
    and they attacked humanity!
[04:11] Naomi
    So mankind called them "Usurpers."
[04:15] Naomi
    The humans and Usurpers
    never came to an understanding,
[04:17] Naomi
    so in the end, a great space war broke out!
[04:20] Naomi
    Mars was humanity's last line of defense!
[04:22] Naomi
    Now, look to your right.
[04:24] Naomi
    You can see the wreckage of the
    weapons used to fight the Usurpers!
[04:28] Naomi
    It was one terrible battle after another!
[04:31] Naomi
    Humans made every kind of weapon
    you could imagine to fight the Usurpers!
[04:36] Naomi
    And do you know what the best,
    most powerful one of all was?
[04:40] Miguel
    Missiles!
[04:40] Naomi
    Bzzt.
[04:41] Emily
    Beams! Really strong beams!
[04:43] Naomi
    Tsk, tsk, tsk.
[04:45] Naomi
    The correct answer is...
[04:47] Naomi
    Neans!
[04:47] Miguel
    Neans?
[04:48] Naomi
    Neans fought alongside
    humans against the Usurpers.
[04:53] Emily
    Are you a Nean?
[04:54] Miguel
    Of course she's not!
[04:56] Miguel
    Neans have scars on their faces.
[05:00] Emily
    Mister, you're a Nean, aren't you?
[05:02] Emily
    Have you ever killed someone?
[05:06] Donald
    Huey? Kill someone?
    That sure would be scary!
[05:09] Miguel
    You didn't know?
[05:10] Miguel
    The Neans have to follow the Asimov Code.
[05:14] Emily
    Muffymoff?
[05:15] Huey
    The Asimov Code.
[05:17] Huey
    It's programmed into our hearts
    that we can't harm humans.
[05:22] Donald
    He can't kill people,
[05:23] Donald
    but Huey used to be a soldier,
    and he was an absolute star in the war.
[05:27] Donald
    When he took on that war machine—
[05:28] Bianca
    Dear, don't talk about such scary things.
[05:31] Bianca
    You'll ruin our vacation.
[05:34] Huey
    My duty now is serving the mister
    and missus here.
[05:37] Bianca
    Huey, isn't it about time for your Nectar?
[05:41] Huey
    I'm all right for now.
[05:43] Huey
    Thank you for your concern.
[05:45] Huey
    Ma'am, shall I bring you a blanket?
[05:55] Naomi
    Just give her some.
[06:02] Naomi
    Wow. Some grown-up you are.
[06:03] Rouge
    I'm not a grown-up.
    I'm a precious little child.
[06:06] Jill
    I totally get how you feel.
[06:09] Jill
    When you love something,
    you don't want anyone else taking it, right?
[06:12] Jill
    That's chocolate from Broma, isn't it?
[06:14] Jill
    I love that stuff.
[06:16] Jill
    And you really know a lot
    about the war on Mars, huh?
[06:19] Naomi
    Aw, well, I wouldn't say I don't.
[06:22] Jill
    Are you, perhaps, a beautiful
    historian of some kind?
[06:25] Rouge
    She's just a history-loving military nerd.
[06:29] Jill
    A student, then?
[06:31] Naomi
    Yeah, something like that.
[06:34] Naomi
    Could you maybe stop
    taking pictures, though?
[06:37] Jill
    Sorry about that.
    The camera just loves you.
[06:39] Rouge
    What is that, anyway?
[06:42] Jill
    My partner.
[06:43] Naomi
    That's an optical camera, isn't it?
[06:45] Rouge
    A camera? It's huge.
[06:46] Jill
    It's bulky, moody,
    and the biggest pain in the ass,
[06:51] Jill
    but it's saved me so many times.
[06:53] Jill
    It's the best partner I could have.
[06:55] Jill
    I'm Jill, a journalist.
[06:58] Jill
    I've been studying the
    presence of Neans in society.
[07:02] Jill
    Mars has a lot of Neans working in combat
    and the development of the planet,
[07:06] Jill
    but there are some who face discrimination.
[07:09] Jill
    And what about you two?
[07:11] Jill
    What brings you to Wellstown?
[07:13] Rouge
    Um...
[07:15] Rouge
    We're going after some bad guys.
[07:17] Jill
    Bad guys?
[07:18] Naomi
    That's the premise of this trip we're taking as
    two cringeworthy history-loving military nerds!
[07:21] Naomi
    Aw, man! Now she knows how cringe we are!
[07:26] Naomi
    I'm Naomi Orthmann.
[07:28] Jill
    Pleasure.
[07:30] Naomi
    Go on.
[07:32] Rouge
    Rouge Redstar.
[07:36] Jill
    Rouge?
[07:37] Jill
    That's a nice name.
[07:38] Rouge
    Thanks.
[07:41] Naomi
    A journalist,
[07:42] Naomi
    a grandma with her grandkids,
[07:44] Naomi
    tourists and their Nean servant,
[07:47] Naomi
    a salesman...
[07:50] Naomi
    and a mystery.
[07:51] Miguel
    Grandma told us that kids
    can't go by themselves!
[07:55] Emily
    But I want to see outside!
[07:56] Naomi
    Want to go out on the deck?
[07:58] Naomi
    Why don't we take you?
[08:00] Emily
    Yay!
[08:01] Miguel
    Really?
[08:02] Naomi
    Yeah, really.
[08:03] Naomi
    Dah-da-dah! This nice lady
    here will take you!
[08:08] Miguel
    Cool! Let's go!
[08:09] Emily
    Yay!
[08:10] Rouge
    Wait, I, uh...
[08:12] Naomi
    They say if you love your kids,
    send them out into the world, right?
[08:15] Naomi
    Go climb the stairs to adulthood.
[08:19] Emily
    I'm gonna show this to my mom.
[08:21] Rouge
    Your mom?
[08:22] Miguel
    She's in a hospital in Wellstown.
[08:25] Emily
    She can't go outside.
[08:28] Emily
    So we're going to show her a bunch of it.
[08:34] Miguel
    That's it! Gimme back the camera!
[08:40] Naomi
    Excuse me, sir. What do you do for a living?
[08:44] Naomi
    No, wait! I'll guess!
[08:46] Naomi
    I'm doing my first ever
    "guess the occupation" quiz show!
[08:50] Naomi
    I bet you're...
[08:51] Naomi
    Hmm...
[08:53] Naomi
    An assassin for some
    underground organization?
[08:56] Naomi
    A member of a birding group on Mars? No?
[08:59] Naomi
    You look like you're pretty smart...
[09:01] Naomi
    IT stuff? Company president?
    Wait, I'll get it...
[09:05] Naomi
    Give me a hint!
[09:09] Afdal
    I work with bodies.
[09:14] Naomi
    You're a masseur?
[09:20] Rouge
    Let's go inside.
[09:23] Mercenary Leader
    Target located.
[09:25] Mercenary Leader
    Initiate the operation.
[09:26] Herman
    Bring her back alive.
[09:29] Mercenary Leader
    Roger.
[09:32] Rouge
    Some scary people who seem
    to want us are here.
[09:35] Naomi
    No, we don't know that yet.
[09:38] Naomi
    Could just be some military
    nerds out on a jaunt.
[09:40] Johnny
    So then the doves they let loose are
    instantly toasted by the ray guns...
[09:57] Voice
    The bus has made an emergency stop.
[10:00] Voice
    All passengers, please follow
    the crew's instructions.
[10:04] Johnny
    "Crew"? Wait, me?!
[10:05] Voice
    All passengers, please...
[10:12] Mercenary Leader
    Hand over the woman shown.
[10:14] Mercenary Leader
    Once our objective is met,
    we will guarantee your safety.
[10:17] Mercenary Leader
    Repeat: hand over the woman shown.
[10:19] Mercenary Leader
    Once our objective is met,
    we will guarantee your safety.
[10:21] Smith
    Where did that chick go?!
[10:22] Smith
    She was sitting right here!
[10:24] Jill
    We can't just hand a girl over
    to those ruffians!
[10:26] Donald
    Looks like they're mercenaries.
[10:29] Donald
    They said they'll guarantee our safety
    if we hand her over!
[10:32] Grandma
    Guys like that never keep their word.
[10:34] Grandma
    We're witnesses. They won't
    let us leave here unharmed.
[10:37] Smith
    So what do we do, then?!
[10:42] Smith
    Hey! Do something!
[10:44] Johnny
    What am I supposed to do?!
[10:45] Johnny
    I haven't driven one of these
    on my own in ages!
[10:48] Grandma
    Start driving! Hurry!
[10:49] Johnny
    Uh... Where's the manual...
[10:51] Grandma
    Oh, just move!
[10:53] Rouge
    I'll take care of this.
[10:54] Naomi
    I'd rather not let anyone
    find out who we are.
[10:57] Rouge
    I'll be careful.
[10:59] Naomi
    Oh, hell.
[11:09] Rouge
    Three minutes.
[11:10] Naomi
    Three seconds.
[11:10] Rouge
    Two minutes.
[11:11] Naomi
    Ninety seconds.
[11:12] Rouge
    Understood.
[11:13] Naomi
    Thank ya.
[11:15] Mercenary2
    Don't move!
[11:17] Mercenary2
    Don't try anything funny.
[11:38] Rouge
    Huh?
[11:45] Johnny
    You can drive?!
[11:47] Grandma
    I was a driver when I was younger!
[11:49] Grandma
    Ever heard of the Sonic Lady?
[11:51] Grandma
    Well, that's me!
[11:59] Naomi
    One hundred twenty seconds.
    You're over by thirty.
[12:02] Rouge
    Stickler.
[12:03] Naomi
    Try to be punctual, please.
[12:04] Smith
    Hey!
[12:06] Smith
    What the hell did you guys do?!
[12:10] Afdal
    It just grazed you.
[12:11] Afdal
    Be glad that was only a stray bullet.
[12:14] Huey
    Are you all right?
[12:14] Donald
    You useless trash!
[12:16] Donald
    Can't you even protect your master?!
[12:18] Afdal
    You got shot too, didn't you?
[12:22] Afdal
    All the bullets passed through,
    and your intake unit is undamaged.
[12:25] Afdal
    You'll be fine.
[12:27] Naomi
    The correct answer was "a doctor"?
[12:30] Johnny
    There's a forest over there!
[12:31] Grandma
    Perfect!
[12:38] Grandma
    Better hold on tight, or you'll be thrown out!
[12:51] Johnny
    It's no use.
[12:52] Johnny
    The cable's completely shot.
[12:54] Smith
    So what are you gonna do?!
[12:56] Smith
    I need to get to Wellstown today!
[12:59] Naomi
    There should be a military facility
    left over from the war up ahead.
[13:03] Naomi
    We might find replacement parts there.
[13:05] Naomi
    I'll go look.
[13:06] Bianca
    You're quite knowledgeable.
[13:08] Naomi
    I'm a history-loving military nerd.
[13:10] Johnny
    It's an RG200 cable.
[13:12] Johnny
    One just like this.
[13:14] Naomi
    Roger.
[13:15] Grandma
    You're going with her!
[13:17] Johnny
    Huh?!
[13:18] Rouge
    Me, too.
[13:20] Rouge
    I'll go, too.
[13:21] Naomi
    You stay here.
[13:23] Rouge
    Huh?
[13:24] Rouge
    I'm going.
[13:25] Naomi
    And what if those guys come back?
[13:28] Naomi
    Rouge! House!
[13:30] Rouge
    Grr...
[13:33] Rouge
    Woof!
[13:35] Jill
    Nice! When did you get this shot?
[13:37] Jill
    I think these guys are SOA.
[13:39] Rouge
    SOA?
[13:41] Jill
    Suns of Ares. SOA for short.
[13:44] Jill
    A private security company—
    or in other words, mercenaries.
[13:47] Jill
    It means someone hired them.
[13:49] Rouge
    Yo. Hey.
[13:51] Jill
    Still, this really is a great shot.
[13:54] Jill
    You could win a Pulitzer Prize with this.
[13:56] Emily
    I can take pictures like that, too!
[13:58] Miguel
    You're still too little for that.
[14:01] Emily
    Wait!
[14:04] Jill
    I guess what you said about going after
    bad guys wasn't just make-believe.
[14:08] Rouge
    It was.
[14:10] Jill
    You saved my skin.
[14:12] Jill
    Thanks.
[14:15] Rouge
    I just... follow orders. That's all.
[14:19] Jill
    You're free.
[14:22] Rouge
    Free?
[14:23] Rouge
    Me?
[14:25] Jill
    "Free" means you can make your own choices.
[14:27] Jill
    Right?
[14:40] Rouge
    Let's take a great picture and prove to
    your brother that you're not too little.
[14:46] Emily
    Yeah!
[14:47] Emily
    Let's go!
[14:55] Johnny
    There's a person!
[14:57] Naomi
    A Nean.
[14:59] Naomi
    One who fought alongside humans, huh?
[15:07] Huey
    Thank you.
[15:18] Emily
    What is that?
[15:20] Eden
    A Usurper war machine.
[15:25] Eden
    Also known as a Cylinder Head.
[15:31] Eden
    If it's not turned on...
[15:34] Eden
    It's just scrap.
[15:37] Emily
    What are you doing?
[15:39] Eden
    Inspecting battlefield wreckage.
[15:41] Eden
    This whole area was the
    site of a fierce battle.
[15:46] Eden
    This one's dead, too.
[15:48] Eden
    Won't get any money out of this.
[15:50] Rouge
    Who are you?
[15:56] Miguel
    Emily!
[15:58] Grandma
    Emily!
[15:59] Jill
    What's wrong?
[16:00] Grandma
    I can't find Emily.
[16:03] Naomi
    Huh? Wait, is Rouge missing, too?
[16:06] Smith
    She didn't run away, did she?!
[16:20] Rouge
    Emily?!
[16:25] Eden
    Don't move!
[16:26] Eden
    This type reacts to movement.
[16:30] Eden
    Just hold still and keep quiet.
[16:32] Eden
    It'll go back into sleep mode eventually.
[16:37] Eden
    Uh...
[16:41] Eden
    Run!
[16:58] Mercenary Leader
    Found her!
[16:59] Mercenary Leader
    That's... a Cylinder Head!
[17:12] Donald
    What's that?
[17:13] Miguel
    Emily...
[17:30] Mercenary Leader
    Damn it! How is it so—
[18:06] Huey
    It can't be...
[18:11] Miguel
    Emily!
[18:12] Naomi
    Rouge?!
[18:15] Naomi
    Huh?
[18:18] Johnny
    The repair's done!
[18:21] Eden
    Move! Quick!
[18:22] Eden
    There's a nasty one coming!
[18:24] Naomi
    Who are you?
[18:29] Smith
    You're kidding me...
[18:36] Grandma
    Time to move!
[18:51] Naomi
    Rouge! Where were you?!
[18:53] MR
    It deflected it?!
[18:59] Naomi
    Stick closer! Get inside the barrier!
[19:02] MR
    You and your selfish demands!
[19:08] Grandma
    Hang on!
[20:33] Emily
    Hey, where's Rouge?
[20:36] Jill
    Maybe we should go back.
[20:38] Naomi
    Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine.
[20:40] Eden
    Hey, I like that.
[20:44] Naomi
    Who are you?
[20:55] Miguel
    You took this? It's awesome!
[21:01] Rouge
    I have an older brother, too,
    so I know how you feel.
[21:06] Emily
    Thank you!
[21:10] Naomi
    You're a real grown-up now.
[21:13] Rouge
    The precious little child went out into the
    world and climbed the stairs to adulthood.
[21:17] Naomi
    So it goes.
