[00:00] Belmeria
    You had another daughter.
[00:04] Belmeria
    Where is Ericht Samaya now?
[00:07] Prospera
    She's there.
[00:09] Prospera
    Right at Suletta's side.
[00:12] Prospera
    Beyond the data storm...
[00:14] Prospera
    she's there waiting for us.
[00:18] Belmeria
    It can't be...
[00:20] Belmeria
    you turned a human into a mobile suit...
[00:24] Prospera
    I want to rewrite the world.
[00:26] Prospera
    So that Eri can be happy.
[00:30] Prospera
    I couldn't believe my eyes at first.
[00:33] Prospera
    Eri's biometric code was completely
    synched with the data storm.
[00:38] Prospera
    Even so...
[00:40] Prospera
    her child's body couldn't endure
    the harshness of outer space.
[00:44] Prospera
    I decided to use Lfrith to keep Eri alive.
[00:49] Prospera
    Alive as Aerial.
[00:52] Belmeria
    You used the data storm's network to
    transfer her biometric code, is that it?
[00:58] Prospera
    Eri is nothing more than
    Permet particles now.
[01:02] Prospera
    Without Aerial as her body,
    she'd disintegrate in physical space.
[01:08] Prospera
    But with a Permet score of eight...
[01:11] Prospera
    If we can expand the range of
    the data storm through Quiet Zero...
[01:16] Prospera
    Then Eri...
[01:18] Prospera
    can live in freedom!
[01:22] Prospera
    Won't you help me?
[01:24] Prospera
    Bel?
[01:28] Belmeria
    I can't.
[01:30] Prospera
    Oh?
[01:31] Prospera
    Why is that?
[01:33] Belmeria
    These aren't the principles
    of the Vanadis Institute.
[01:36] Prospera
    But didn't you make enhanced humans?
[01:40] Prospera
    Using an artificial central nervous system
    with resistance to the data storm.
[01:43] Prospera
    That's the Neural Expansion Theory.
[01:45] Prospera
    Dr. Cardo refused to accept it.
[01:50] Belmeria
    Don't...
[01:51] Prospera
    The one who conceived the idea...
[01:53] Prospera
    was you, am I right?
[01:54] Belmeria
    Stop it!
[01:58] Belmeria
    Say no more...
[02:01] Belmeria
    Please.
[02:02] Prospera
    There will be no escape...
[02:05] Prospera
    for you, either.
[03:39] News A
    The terrorist attack at the Asticassia
    School of Technology
[03:43] News A
    has now, with the kidnapping
    of Grassley's Sarius Zenelli...
[03:46] News B
    The group claiming responsibility,
    the Dawn of Fold,
[03:49] News B
    is also said to be involved in
    the recent accident at Plant Quetta...
[03:53] News C
    Jeturk CEO Vim Jeturk
    has been reported dead.
[03:57] News C
    According to some sources, the Group's
    President, Delling Rembran, is injured as well.
[04:02] News D
    With the Benerit Group carrying out
    security operations at its own discretion
[04:06] News D
    under business administrative laws,
[04:07] News D
    growing anti-Spacian sentiment on Earth
    has escalated many protests into riots.
[04:15] News E
    The Group has been heavily
    criticized for its recent actions
[04:19] News E
    and a swift response--
[04:21] Golneri
    It seems our confidential matters
    have been leaked.
[04:24] Kal
    Any clue where Sarius Zenelli is?
[04:27] Shaddiq
    Nothing but the single
    video message he sent.
[04:30] Shaddiq
    The front management company
    is continuing the search.
[04:33] Lauda
    What is Cathedra doing?
[04:35] Lauda
    After two attacks,
    they still can't catch them?
[04:38] Nevola
    Weren't you also there
    during the Open Campus incident?
[04:42] Kal
    All these hardline policies
    have backfired.
[04:45] Golneri
    The Space Assembly League
    is starting to dig around too.
[04:49] Golneri
    At this rate...
[04:51] Nugen
    Yes.
[04:53] Nugen
    We'll have no choice
    but to elect a new president.
[04:58] Henao
    It's just as we predicted.
[05:00] Henao
    You'll run in the election, right?
[05:02] Shaddiq
    I don't intend to miss this chance.
[05:04] Ireesha
    Isn't Miss Miorine going to
    take over for President Delling?
[05:08] Maisie
    Blood alone isn't enough
    to put you at the top.
[05:12] Shaddiq
    Let's see. If she had backing
    from one of the three branches,
[05:16] Shaddiq
    she could--
[05:16] Sabina
    Shaddiq.
[05:18] Shaddiq
    I won't try to be her partner anymore.
    I'm going to the head office.
[05:22] Shaddiq
    Everyone's waiting.
[05:27] Miorine
    So GUND-ARM, Inc.
    has been cleared of suspicion?
[05:31] Lauda
    We've found no evidence of your
    involvement, that's all.
[05:34] Miorine
    I see. Too bad for you.
[05:37] Lauda
    We're going to choose a new president.
[05:40] Lauda
    You should be happy.
[05:41] Lauda
    Now you won't be a trophy
    in the dueling game.
[05:45] Miorine
    I couldn't care less...
[05:47] Miorine
    about all of that.

[06:08] Campus Announcement
    The front is currently
    under a state of emergency.
[06:12] Campus Announcement
    In accordance with school
    emergency regulations,
[06:15] Campus Announcement
    all students are currently
    subject to activity restrictions.
[06:18] Student B
    There are fewer students.
[06:18] Campus Announcement
    Restricted activities can be...
[06:20] Student A
    Can't blame those who left.
[06:21] Campus Announcement
    The Space Assembly League was...
[06:23] Student C
    My parents are picking me up next week.
[06:23] Campus Announcement
    ...created to settle disputes...
[06:27] Secelia
    Aren't you taking time off school, Rouji?
[06:29] Rouji
    What about you, Secelia?
[06:32] Secelia
    If I leave too, no one can hold any duels.
[06:35] Rouji
    So you do have a sense of duty.
[06:37] Secelia
    It's almost the Princess's birthday, right?
[06:41] Secelia
    At least I should be here
    to see who becomes her groom.
[06:47] Chuchu
    Out of the way, Suletta!
[06:48] Chuchu
    Just how long do they have
    to keep Nika in custody?!
[06:52] Suletta
    You can't take that wrench!
[06:54] Nuno
    We're all suspended already.
[06:56] Nuno
    Don't cause any more trouble.
[06:58] Aliya
    Didn't they say they're
    still investigating?
[07:00] Chuchu
    But it's been five days!
[07:02] Ojelo
    They're always suspicious
    of us Earthians, that's all.
[07:06] Chuchu
    Yeah, but even so,
[07:08] Chuchu
    why'd they have to confiscate
    Aerial and my own Demi too?
[07:11] Martin
    Suletta's putting up with it, isn't she?
[07:14] Martin
    Just two more days and our suspension--
[07:18] Chuchu
    You jerks...
[07:20] Ojelo
    What are you doing?
[07:21] Student D
    Get out, terrorists!
[07:24] Student F
    You guys brought the Gundams
    that attacked us, didn't you?
[07:27] Ojelo
    Get real!
[07:29] Martin
    None of us knew anything
    about Sophie and the other girl!
[07:32] Martin
    So quit harassing us, will you?!
[07:36] Student D
    You're protecting your fellow witches.
[07:38] Martin
    Witches?
[07:40] Student E
    Our company staff said so.
[07:42] Student E
    The witches who made the Gundams
    took pilots' lives with their experiments.
[07:47] Suletta
    O-Our Gundam isn't like that--
[07:49] Student E
    You took lives too! In the Rumble Ring!
[07:55] Student E
    Jubeju was... a precious friend to us!
[07:58] Student E
    But you...
[07:59] Student E
    Give us back Jubeju!
[08:01] Student E
    Murderers!
[08:07] Till
    Martin...
[08:08] Suletta
    Mr. Martin!
[08:09] Chuchu
    You creeps are gonna pay for that!
[08:11] Miorine
    Stop it, all of you!
[08:17] Suletta
    Ms... Miorine?
[08:19] Miorine
    I don't think the school will
    ignore direct evidence of assault.
[08:25] Nika
    Thank you very much...
    for treating my injuries.
[08:30] Sabina
    Nika Nanaura.
[08:33] Sabina
    Don't you want to join our group?
[08:35] Nika
    What?
[08:36] Sabina
    I've been watching you.
[08:38] Sabina
    Your skill as a mechanic,
    and your behavior on campus...
[08:42] Sabina
    If you're with us, you can
    continue your studies elsewhere.
[08:47] Sabina
    You could even achieve your dream
    of bridging Earth and Space.
[08:51] Nika
    I've made a decision.
[08:53] Nika
    I shouldn't act like a victim anymore.
[08:56] Nika
    Even if the ends are just,
    I don't want to use the wrong means.
[09:01] Sabina
    Even if it's for Earth's sake?
[09:03] Nika
    Are you an Earthian too?
[09:06] Sabina
    I was until Grassley took me in.
[09:09] Sabina
    Ideals alone can't change reality
[09:12] Sabina
    You can't leave here either.
[09:15] Sabina
    But Shaddiq and I will make it happen.
[09:18] Sabina
    The dream of bridging Earth and Space...
[09:22] Nevola
    I'll cut right to the chase.
[09:24] Nevola
    Obtain the Aerial for us.
[09:27] Elan (Clone 5)
    And what about winning over Suletta Mercury?
[09:30] Kal
    The presidential race is beginning.
[09:32] Kal
    The dueling game is over.
[09:34] Golneri
    Plus...
[09:35] Golneri
    your lackadaisical fighting
    during the Rumble Ring
[09:39] Golneri
    has left us rather disappointed.
[09:41] Elan (Clone 5)
    I was merely observing the situation.
[09:44] Nugen
    The Aerial has been temporarily confiscated
    because of the recent incident.
[09:49] Nugen
    If you want to live,
    carry out your mission at all costs.
SIGN    Benerit Group Front
[09:55] Shaddiq
    What's the latest?
[09:56] Young Employee A
    The company has split into six factions.
[10:00] Shaddiq
    We're in sixth place?
[10:02] Young Employee A
    We'll be number one soon enough.
[10:04] Shaddiq
    That's the plan.
[10:14] Guel
    It feels like...
[10:16] Guel
    I've been gone for ages.
[10:24] Guel
    Lauda, Petra...
[10:28] Guel
    How've you been?
[10:30] Petra
    Mr. Guel?
[10:32] Lauda
    Brother! Brother, you're...
[10:35] Petra
    Mr. Lauda!
[10:36] Guel
    Lauda!
[10:40] Petra
    I think he's just relieved.
[10:43] Petra
    After you disappeared, Mr. Guel,
    and then that terrible event happened...
[10:48] Petra
    Mr. Lauda suddenly had
    to take over the company.
[10:52] Petra
    The Group has kept pressing him to give
    explanations, take responsibility...
[10:58] Petra
    Oh... forgive me.
[11:00] Petra
    Your father...
[11:03] Guel
    Yeah. I'm aware.
[11:07] Petra
    Mr. Lauda didn't even have time to grieve.
[11:11] Petra
    He's been struggling all alone.
[11:14] Petra
    That's why...
[11:16] Guel
    Petra.
[11:17] Guel
    Take care of Lauda.
[11:21] Guel
    I'll handle the rest.
[11:24] Petra
    Mr. Guel!
[11:29] Petra
    Welcome back.
[11:34] Feng
    We couldn't find any record of the
    front management company's involvement.
[11:39] Miorine
    What do you mean?
[11:40] Feng
    Nika Nanaura was taken by other parties
    disguised as front management employees.
[11:46] Miorine
    Can you confirm the departure list?
[11:48] Feng
    Of course!
[11:50] Feng
    But in return, will you grant me a favor?
[11:54] Feng
    I'd like a pass to freely
    enter and exit GUND-ARM, Inc.
[11:58] Miorine
    You want to investigate our company too?
[12:00] Feng
    I'm curious about the Shin Sei
    Development Corporation you acquired.
[12:06] Miorine
    If you inform me of what you find...
[12:11] Guston
    You're going directly?
[12:12] Feng
    The costs for their Gundam repair
    were excessive,
[12:15] Feng
    and a lot of equipment
    was sent to Plant Quetta...
[12:18] Feng
    Is that appropriate
    for a bottom-ranked company?
[12:22] Guston
    Is the Group behind this?
[12:25] Feng
    Even if it requires groundless accusations,
[12:27] Feng
    the higher-ups plan to forcibly
    intervene in the Benerit Group.
[12:30] Feng
    We have to prevent unnecessary fuss.
[12:33] Feng
    It's our role as mediators.
[12:37] Chuchu
    What did you find out?
[12:38] Miorine
    Nika isn't with
    the front management company.
[12:40] Martin
    What?!
[12:42] Lilique
    So where is she, then?
[12:44] Miorine
    They're looking into it for me.
[12:47] Miorine
    Wait until I hear back.
[12:48] Ojelo
    But--
[12:49] Chuchu
    Understood.
[12:51] Chuchu
    We couldn't find out anything on our own.
[12:54] Chuchu
    So... you know...
[12:57] Chuchu
    Thanks.
[13:04] Miorine
    You're welcome.
[13:06] Aliya
    Meanwhile, here you are.
[13:09] Miorine
    Huh?
[13:09] Aliya
    The company's suspended
    from doing business,
[13:12] Aliya
    but we're still incurring
    maintenance costs.
[13:14] Ojelo
    Please authorize these payments as well.
[13:16] Lilique
    And please look over these notifications!
[13:18] Nuno
    I'd like to buy a new app.
[13:21] Suletta
    I...I, uh...
[13:26] Till
    Over here!
[13:27] Miorine; Chuchu; Ojelo; Nuno; Aliya; Lilique & Martin
    Huh?
[13:31] Suletta
    Uh, well, I...
[13:33] Suletta
    I'd like you... to look...
[13:36] Suletta
    at the greenhouse.
[13:43] Miorine
    Lilique! Organize the materials
    for me to check.
[13:46] Lilique
    Right!
[13:52] Miorine
    Aren't you coming?
[13:54] Suletta
    Y-Yes!
[13:56] Prospera
    Hello!
[13:58] Prospera
    Is there anyone home?
[14:01] Aliya
    Who's that?
[14:03] Suletta
    Mom?
[14:04] Ojelo
    "Mom"?!
[14:04] Everyone
    What?!
[14:07] Suletta
    What are you doing here?
[14:08] Prospera
    The investigators finished questioning me.
[14:11] Prospera
    I hadn't seen you at all
    since the incident, right?
[14:14] Suletta
    I see. I'll show you around, then.
[14:17] Prospera
    Don't worry. I can get around by myself.
[14:19] Suletta
    But...
[14:20] Prospera
    You're going out with Ms. Miorine, right?
[14:22] Prospera
    You should look after your bride.
[14:25] Suletta
    Yeah! You're right!
[14:31] Miorine
    Let's go.
[14:32] Suletta
    O-Okay!
[14:34] Suletta
    We'll be back!
[14:35] Prospera
    Have fun!
[14:38] Prospera
    How nice to meet you all.
    I'm Suletta's mother.
[14:46] Elan (Clone 5)
    Sorry about this, Suletta Mercury...
[14:49] Elan (Clone 5)
    But I'm stealing your family member.
[14:54] Elan (Clone 5)
    No response...
[14:56] Elan (Clone 5)
    Wasn't Number Four able to use it?
[15:10] Elan (Clone 5)
    A data storm...
[15:12] Elan (Clone 5)
    Why, all of a sudden...
[15:14] Ericht
    Stay away.
[15:25] Elan (Clone 5)
    Suletta...
[15:27] Elan (Clone 5)
    Mercury?
[15:37] Ericht
    You can't come here.
[15:40] Elan (Clone 5)
    No...
[15:43] Elan (Clone 5)
    Who are you people?
[16:01] Elan (Clone 5)
    What the heck... is this Gundam?
[16:05] Elan (Clone 5)
    This isn't like the Pharact at all!
[16:09] Belmeria
    You're unable to handle it.
[16:17] Elan (Clone 5)
    This is an order from above.
[16:20] Elan (Clone 5)
    You should help, too.
[16:22] Belmeria
    I can't.
[16:24] Elan (Clone 5)
    It must be easier tinkering with this
    than with enhanced humans.
[16:30] Belmeria
    What should I have done instead?
[16:32] Elan (Clone 5)
    Huh?
[16:33] Belmeria
    After my colleagues and research
    went up in flames,
[16:36] Belmeria
    I had to take refuge on Peil's payroll.
[16:40] Belmeria
    But one day... GUND's ideals
    would lead to a better future--
[16:46] Elan (Clone 5)
    Even for human experiments like me?
[16:49] Elan (Clone 5)
    You don't want to die yourself,
[16:51] Elan (Clone 5)
    but you don't give a damn about my future!
[16:54] Belmeria
    You're wrong, I--
[16:54] Elan (Clone 5)
    Like hell I'm wrong!
[16:57] Elan (Clone 5)
    I'm going to report you to the higher-ups.
[17:10] Suletta
    I did as you said
[17:12] Suletta
    and used the Andes model.
[17:14] Miorine
    Yeah.
[17:15] Suletta
    Did you get my emails?
[17:17] Miorine
    I did. Three a day.
[17:20] Suletta
    And I haven't lost any duels.
[17:22] Miorine
    I can tell from your uniform.
[17:26] Suletta
    Are you mad at me, Ms. Miorine?
[17:28] Miorine
    Eh?
[17:30] Suletta
    About what happened at the plant...
[17:35] Miorine
    No, you should be mad at me.
[17:38] Suletta
    Huh?
[17:39] Miorine
    You saved my life and my father's.
[17:42] Miorine
    And yet, I said something awful to you.
[17:47] Miorine
    I wanted to say I was sorry...
[17:49] Miorine
    I should have thanked you.
[17:55] Suletta
    I knew it.
[17:56] Suletta
    It's just like Mom said.
[17:59] Suletta
    She told me that you'd
    understand eventually.
[18:03] Suletta
    That Aerial and I did the right thing.
[18:07] Miorine
    The right thing?
[18:08] Suletta
    Yes! Run and gain one.
    Move forward and gain two!
[18:12] Suletta
    Because I fought without running away,
[18:14] Suletta
    I was able to protect you
    and all of Earth House!
[18:22] Miorine
    How can you smile like that?
[18:24] Suletta
    Huh?
[18:26] Miorine
    I know you rescued me.
[18:29] Miorine
    But... you smashed...
[18:31] Miorine
    smashed another person to death...
[18:34] Miorine
    I can't smile!
[18:36] Miorine
    Right thing or not,
    you shouldn't smile about it!
[18:39] Suletta
    What? B-But only the two of us
    could save everyone.
[18:43] Miorine
    Is that what your mom told you?
[18:45] Suletta
    Yes.
[18:46] Miorine
    Will you do anything
    your mom tells you to?
[18:50] Suletta
    I wouldn't say "anything"...
[18:52] Miorine
    What if she told you to give up your dream
    of building a school at Mercury?
[18:56] Suletta
    I'd be troubled... I guess...
[19:01] Suletta
    But...
[19:02] Suletta
    But if my mom told me to, I'd give up.
[19:08] Miorine
    GUND-ARM, Inc. isn't a tool of war!
[19:11] Miorine
    Didn't we all decide we'd build Gundams
    that can save lives through medicine?!
[19:16] Miorine
    If your mother told you to,
    would you use Gundams to kill people?
[19:31] Suletta
    Yes.
[19:33] Suletta
    If Mom told me to.
[19:35] Suletta
    It's because I did what Mom said,
    that I got to go to school.
[19:39] Suletta
    And make friends.
[19:41] Suletta
    And meet you, Ms. Miorine...
[19:44] Suletta
    So I know my mom is always right.
[19:53] Suletta
    Ms. Miorine?
[20:02] Prospera
    Just a little longer...
[20:03] Prospera
    Wait for me, Eri.
[20:06] Miorine
    Prospera!
[20:09] Miorine
    What are you planning to do with Suletta?
[20:12] Prospera
    She's a good little girl, isn't she?
[20:14] Miorine
    This isn't funny!
[20:15] Miorine
    That girl will do
    anything you tell her to!
[20:18] Miorine
    I won't let you have your way
    with her anymore!
[20:22] Prospera
    And what then?
[20:23] Prospera
    Do you want to have your way
    with her next?
[20:25] Prospera
    Just like your father...
[20:26] Miorine
    You're the one using her as a puppet!
[20:29] Miorine
    My lousy father has nothing
    to do with this!
[20:31] Prospera
    Oh, but I'm afraid he does.
[20:32] Prospera
    Because your father is the object
    of my family's vengeance.
[20:40] Prospera
    I guess that man Rajan
    kept his mouth shut.
[20:44] Miorine
    Wait a second...
[20:45] Miorine
    What do you--
[20:46] Prospera
    I meant exactly what I said.
[20:48] Prospera
    During the Vanadis Incident 21 years ago,
[20:51] Prospera
    Delling Rembran deprived me
    of my husband, my colleagues...
[20:56] Prospera
    and my mentor.
[20:58] Prospera
    In the name of "witch-hunting," that man
    slaughtered everyone at the Institute.
[21:04] Prospera
    We're the only ones who survived.
[21:08] Miorine
    You're lying...
[21:09] Prospera
    You accused Suletta of being a murderer,
[21:13] Prospera
    but you're in the same position.
[21:16] Prospera
    Inside the circle of murderers...
[21:22] Prospera
    I want you to hear them too.
[21:25] Prospera
    The screams and cries of my comrades...
[21:29] Prospera
    "Avenge our deaths...
    Kill that man Delling..."
[21:33] Prospera
    They're whispering it in my ear,
    even as we speak.
[21:42] Miorine
    If you want revenge,
    why don't you adults kill each other?
[21:46] Miorine
    But leave Suletta out of your vengeance!
[21:50] Prospera
    You're quite an admirable bride.
[21:53] Prospera
    Will you cooperate with me, then?
[21:55] Miorine
    Huh?
[21:56] Prospera
    Quiet Zero...
[21:58] Prospera
    At this rate, there'll be a new president,
    and our plan will be ruined.
[22:03] Prospera
    That's why, Miorine Rembran...
[22:05] Prospera
    you must become the next president.
[22:08] Miorine
    Me?
[22:11] Miorine
    I could never...
[22:12] Prospera
    You can do it.
[22:14] Prospera
    After all, you're Delling Rembran's
[22:19] Prospera
    blood-stained daughter.
