[00:00] Teacher A
    When Permet was discovered
    within minerals,
[00:03] Teacher A
    its special information-sharing properties
    became the basis for all these theories.
[00:09] Teacher A
    Today, it's responsible for controlling
    and managing systems of every kind.
[00:13] Suletta
    Excuse me!
[00:15] Suletta
    Is it used in the monorail too?
[00:17] Teacher A
    Yes.
[00:18] Teacher A
    Permet links connect all the transit cars
    on campus to central dispatch.
[00:24] Teacher A
    This prevents uneven data distribution...
[00:33] Professor
    LP041, Suletta Mercury...
[00:36] Professor
    Passed.
[00:38] Ojelo
    Suletta seems surprisingly cheerful.
[00:41] Nuno
    I was worried when she lost
    the title of Holder to Guel...
[00:45] Aliya
    There's no way she's okay.
[00:47] Aliya
    They took Aerial too, after all.
[00:49] Lilique
    She must be hurting...
[00:51] Lilique
    Then there's Ms. Miorine...
[00:53] Lilique
    For things to end like that...
[00:57] Suletta
    For today's lunch, I tried making
    ramoodles with lots of toppings!
[01:02] Suletta
    Let's eat!
[01:05] Ojelo
    Suletta, during today's class, you--
[01:08] Suletta
    Was I cool?
[01:09] Ojelo
    Huh?
[01:11] Suletta
    Asking a question in class in a cool way.
[01:16] Lilique
    That was on your wish list too?
[01:18] Suletta
    I can cross two things off today!
[01:21] Suletta
    Going to class every day,
[01:22] Suletta
    and eating lunch with all of you...
[01:25] Suletta
    is so much fun!
SIGN    Episode 18
[03:05] Guel
    Please!
[03:06] Guel
    Our company needs your support!
[03:10] Sponsor B
    Your subsidiary merger plan...
    Remind me, when it was due?
[03:15] Sponsor C
    Financing is pointless
    if you can't meet your goals.
[03:18] Sponsor C
    Even for the son of Vim Jeturk.
[03:23] Guel
    It's no use.
[03:24] Guel
    The financiers won't say yes.
[03:26] Guel
    They must be thinking
    I have no track record...
[03:30] Prospera
    If you need a track record,
[03:32] Prospera
    doesn't your company have a new
    mobile suit model you haven't announced?
[03:37] Miorine
    A new model?
[03:41] Miorine
    A Gundam?!
[03:43] Guel
    Our next-generation concept model,
    the Schwarzette.
[03:46] Guel
    I'd heard my dad
    was developing something, but...
[03:50] Miorine
    You snake!
[03:51] Miorine
    You can't share Gundam
    technology without my consent!
[03:55] Miorine
    And you, Guel! Why didn't you tell me?!
[03:57] Guel
    It's news to me too, okay?!
[03:59] Prospera
    It was before you acquired us.
[04:01] Prospera
    He was so insistent that we go
    into the drone business together.
[04:07] Prospera
    And since Shin Sei was at the bottom
    of the pecking order...
[04:13] Miorine
    So? What are you proposing?
[04:15] Prospera
    That machine...
[04:17] Prospera
    Why don't you announce
    it was developed jointly
[04:19] Prospera
    between GUND-ARM, Inc. and Jeturk?
[04:23] Prospera
    Then you can also promote
    your union to the rest of the Group.
[04:28] Miorine
    No can do.
[04:30] Miorine
    GUND-ARM, Inc. won't be involved
    in mobile suit development.
[04:35] Miorine
    We decided that we'd use Gundam
    technology for medical purposes.
[04:39] Prospera
    To win the presidential race,
    you likewise need a track record.
[04:45] Prospera
    If you want to stick to your principles,
    you should use them in your concept.
[04:50] Prospera
    Please don't forget.
[04:52] Miorine
    I know.
[04:54] Miorine
    Now it's my turn to fulfill my promise.
[04:57] Prospera
    Thank you very much.
[04:58] Miorine
    Sure, but where are you, anyway?
[05:02] Prospera
    At Grassley.
[05:03] Miorine
    What?!
[05:04] Prospera
    They were eager to chat.
[05:07] Prospera
    And they insisted on inviting me...
[05:10] Miorine
    Whaaaa?!
[05:15] Godoy
    Dr. Winston...
[05:17] Godoy
    Any progress?
[05:19] Belmeria
    Please give me a little more time
    to adjust the programming.
[05:23] Godoy
    Applying parallel distribution
    is your specialty.
[05:26] Godoy
    We'll continue to rely on you.
[05:29] Belmeria
    What in the world
    is the mobile suit in this file?
[05:33] Godoy
    It's exactly what the specs say.
[05:35] Godoy
    A GUND-Bit in mobile suit form,
    to expand Aerial's data storm network.
[05:41] Godoy
    It's called a Gundnode.
[05:44] Prospera
    My cooperation?
[05:45] Shaddiq
    Yes.
[05:47] Shaddiq
    We'd like to make Shin Sei's
    GUND-ARM technology
[05:49] Shaddiq
    part of the Group's core business.
[05:51] Prospera
    Hasn't Grassley been a denier of Gundams?
[05:55] Shaddiq
    If we're to quickly restore
    our credibility,
[05:57] Shaddiq
    we can't afford to be picky
    about the means.
[06:01] Prospera
    I hear you were unable
    to recover the Gundam types
[06:04] Prospera
    used in the attack on the Open Campus...
[06:07] Shaddiq
    Yes.
[06:08] Shaddiq
    It seems they had built-in
    self-destruct protocols.
[06:12] Shaddiq
    It's unfortunate...
[06:13] Prospera
    If you wanted a Gundam,
[06:15] Prospera
    wouldn't you try to obtain one
    even in a damaged state?
[06:19] Prospera
    Or could it be...
[06:21] Prospera
    that their recovery would cause
    you some inconvenience?
[06:27] Miorine
    Shaddiq!
[06:29] Shaddiq
    Why hello, Miorine.
[06:31] Shaddiq
    Glad to see you looking well, Guel.
[06:33] Guel
    Shaddiq.
[06:34] Guel
    Dealing with Miorine's subsidiary
    without her permission...
[06:37] Guel
    What are you trying to do?
[06:38] Shaddiq
    Canvassing, of course.
[06:39] Shaddiq
    I'm enlisting companies
    to support my election as president.
[06:43] Miorine
    You're running, too?
[06:45] Shaddiq
    My marriage to you
    didn't pan out, after all.
[06:50] Shaddiq
    Congratulations on your engagement.
[06:52] Shaddiq
    While you were all dueling,
    I'd already earned Peil's support.
[06:56] Guel
    What?
[06:57] Shaddiq
    Your opponents in the presidential race...
[07:00] Shaddiq
    are two of the three branches.
[07:03] Shaddiq
    The vote is in two weeks.
[07:05] Shaddiq
    I'm looking forward to it.
[07:08] Suletta
    I've checked the temperature
    and adjusted sunlight patterns...
[07:12] Suletta
    Oh wait, the fertilizer! That was close...
[07:15] Chuchu
    Suletta!
[07:17] Suletta
    Yes?
[07:18] Chuchu
    Aren't you pissed off at Miorine?
[07:22] Chuchu
    She's succeeding the father
    she hated so much,
[07:25] Chuchu
    and she threw you aside
    for that Jeturk blowhard.
[07:29] Chuchu
    How selfish can she be?
[07:32] Suletta
    Ms. Miorine did nothing wrong.
[07:34] Chuchu
    What?! But why?!
[07:37] Suletta
    I'm the one at fault.
[07:39] Suletta
    I broke my promise to Ms. Miorine.
[07:43] Suletta
    It was foolish of me to think
    I was ever a match for her.
[07:48] Lauda
    How long are you going to
    hang around here?
[07:50] Chuchu
    You creeps...
[07:51] Lauda
    Both Miorine and the title of Holder
    belong to my brother now.
[07:56] Lauda
    Nobody needs you any more.
[07:58] Lauda
    You empty Mercurian wench.
[08:01] Chuchu
    Watch your mouth!
[08:03] Lauda
    I've no intention of fighting you.
[08:04] Chuchu
    What'd you say?!
[08:05] Lauda
    Chuatury Panlunch.
[08:07] Lauda
    You saved me during the Open Campus.
[08:09] Lauda
    Thank you.
[08:15] Felsi
    Thanks!
[08:18] Chuchu
    That's got nothing
    to do with this, damn it!
[08:21] Suletta
    Mr. Lauda is right.
[08:24] Suletta
    Though I never had anything to begin with,
[08:27] Suletta
    I called myself the Holder, and the groom.
[08:31] Suletta
    It was all a mistake.
[08:34] Suletta
    Why didn't I realize it before now?
[08:39] Chuchu
    You know that's not true.
[08:43] Suletta
    Ms. Chuchu, what are you--
[08:45] Chuchu
    Let's go...
[08:46] Chuchu
    to see Miorine.
[08:51] Martin
    To the head office?!
[08:53] Chuchu
    We're going to meet with Miorine.
[08:54] Chuchu
    Martin, you hold the fort.
[08:56] Aliya
    Feed the animals too.
[08:58] Martin
    W-Wait a second! All of you are going too?
[09:01] Till
    Someone has to helm the ship.
[09:02] Nuno
    You're still injured, right?
[09:05] Lilique
    If no one stays behind,
    we might get vandalized again!
[09:09] Ojelo
    Staying active takes our minds
    off of things, right?
[09:12] Suletta
    Ms. Chuchu!
[09:13] Suletta
    I'm fine, really.
[09:16] Suletta
    I've already accepted that Ms. Miorine--
[09:19] Chuchu
    Shut up.
[09:19] Suletta
    Ow!
[09:20] Chuchu
    Listen!
[09:21] Chuchu
    It's wrong that you're pretending
    you're okay with it!
[09:25] Chuchu
    Tell Miorine straight out
    what's on your mind!
[09:27] Chuchu
    I won't accept anything less!
[09:30] Suletta
    Right...
[09:31] Ojelo
    It's settled, then!
[09:34] Lilique
    Let's go, Ms. Suletta!
[09:37] Martin
    Can't you just talk on the phone?
[09:38] Till
    You've changed, Chuchu.
[09:40] Chuchu
    Huh?
[09:41] Aliya
    You've always chosen fists
    over talking things out...
[09:44] Aliya
    What happened, huh?
[09:46] Chuchu
    I thought about what Nika would do.
[09:50] Chuchu
    When those Jeturk punks
    thanked me earlier,
[09:53] Chuchu
    I think I finally understood
    how Nika feels.
[09:58] Chuchu
    So, anyway... we're off.
[10:00] Aliya
    If the bullies come back,
    don't try anything crazy.
[10:06] Elan (Clone 5)
    What are you drawing, eh?
[10:08] Norea
    Why should I tell you?
[10:11] Elan (Clone 5)
    If you think I'm a threat, don't worry.
[10:13] Elan (Clone 5)
    When it comes to Grassley
    and the Dawn of Fold being connected...
[10:17] Elan (Clone 5)
    I haven't breathed a word to anyone else.
[10:19] Elan (Clone 5)
    Despite how I look,
    I'm pretty tight-lipped.
[10:22] Nika
    Excuse me!
[10:23] Elan (Clone 5)
    Huh?
[10:23] Nika
    You are Mr. Elan, aren't you?
[10:26] Nika
    You seem so different--
[10:29] Elan (Clone 5)
    I'm a different person.
[10:29] Nika
    What?
[10:30] Elan (Clone 5)
    I'm not the Elan Ceres you all knew.
[10:34] Elan (Original)
    You should have nominated me
    as a presidential candidate.
[10:38] Nugen
    The Peil Grade rendered its judgment.
[10:40] Nugen
    It's not yet time
    for you to take the stage.
[10:43] Nika
    An evaluation system?
[10:45] Elan (Clone 5)
    Peil uses its own unique AI
    to select the company's leaders.
[10:51] Elan (Clone 5)
    The one who received the top grade...
[10:54] Elan (Clone 5)
    was the real Master Elan Ceres.
[10:57] Elan (Clone 5)
    But when these stupid
    bride-catching games began,
[11:01] Elan (Clone 5)
    he needed a backup
    who could pilot a mobile suit.
[11:05] Nika
    In order to win duels?
[11:08] Elan (Clone 5)
    There was that...
[11:09] Elan (Clone 5)
    but also, we were initially guinea pigs
    used to master Gundam technology.
[11:15] Elan (Clone 5)
    Pilots implanted with resistance
    to data storms.
[11:18] Elan (Clone 5)
    That's us, the Enhanced Persons.
[11:21] Elan (Clone 5)
    We still can't help dying, though...
[11:23] Nika
    Then, if you pilot the Pharact...
[11:25] Elan (Clone 5)
    I'll die.
[11:28] Elan (Clone 5)
    Anyone who pilots a Gundam will.
[11:30] Elan (Clone 5)
    The odd ones here
    are that Mercurian girl and her Aerial.
[11:34] Elan (Clone 5)
    Tell me, what the hell are those two?
[11:36] Norea
    You sure know how to run your mouth.
[11:39] Elan (Clone 5)
    There's no use hiding it now.
[11:41] Elan (Clone 5)
    What about you? Is there any reason
    for you to pilot a Gundam?
[11:45] Norea
    None.
[11:46] Elan (Clone 5)
    Really?
[11:47] Norea
    I said I have none.
[11:51] Elan (Clone 5)
    I see.
[11:52] Elan (Clone 5)
    You're hollow inside, so you tell yourself
    it's for the Earthians' sake.
[11:57] Elan (Clone 5)
    Whoopsie!
[12:02] Norea
    I want to kill every
    last one of you Spacians.
[12:05] Norea
    What other reason do I need?
[12:07] Elan (Clone 5)
    You don't really want
    to pilot a Gundam either, do you?
[12:10] Norea
    Shut your mouth!
[12:12] Elan (Clone 5)
    Let's be honest with each other.
    Since both our lives are so cheap.
[12:17] Grassley Exec A
    All of them?
[12:19] Shaddiq
    Yes.
[12:20] Shaddiq
    Hurry with due diligence
    on every facility on that list.
[12:23] Grassley Exec B
    Aren't we selling these off
    far too cheaply?
[12:26] Shaddiq
    That's not as important as
    my father's life.
[12:29] Shaddiq
    The Earth companies
    on the list are first priority.
[12:33] Henao
    The transfer of the Group's businesses
    seems to be going well.
[12:36] Shaddiq
    No one within the companies
    suspects a thing.
[12:40] Henao
    I'll file a report
    with the Space Assembly League.
[12:43] Guel
    He's way ahead of us.
[12:45] Prospera
    It seems he's already gained
    considerable support.
[12:49] Miorine
    I expected Shaddiq would make a bold move,
[12:52] Miorine
    but not that he'd team up with Peil.
[12:54] Prospera
    I wonder if this will give you
    any hints, but...
[12:58] News Report
    Though these initially looked like
    protests by demonstrators,
[13:01] News Report
    armed Earthian groups have begun
    attacking Benerit Group facilities.
[13:06] News Report
    The use of heavy weapons
    has been confirmed...
[13:08] Miorine
    Riots?
[13:08] News Report
    with both sides suffering losses.
[13:09] Prospera
    They're protesting
    the lack of corporate governance
[13:11] News Report
    This now appears to be a civil war.
[13:12] Prospera
    regarding this terrorism.
[13:14] Prospera
    It was enforcing unfair security measures
[13:14] News Report
    Explosions continue to be heard
     and refugees line the streets.
[13:16] Prospera
    in the name of criminal investigation.
[13:20] Guel
    Their anger... won't be ended by violence.
[13:25] Miorine
    In that case, why don't we try ending it?
[13:28] Guel
    What?
[13:29] Miorine
    We'll speak directly to the protesters.
[13:32] Miorine
    If we can calm them down,
    that'll be our track record.
[13:34] Guel
    You want to go to Earth?!
[13:36] Miorine
    Naturally.
[13:38] Prospera
    You'll be talking to armed people.
[13:40] Prospera
    If you don't make a show of force,
[13:43] Prospera
    you can't negotiate on even terms.
[13:49] Miorine
    Then...
[13:50] Miorine
    We'll use Aerial.
[13:52] Prospera
    Aerial?
[13:54] Miorine
    We'll follow school regulations
    and won't bring weapons.
[13:58] Miorine
    I won't let another Plant Quetta happen.
[14:01] Miorine
    It will provide
    a concept of our principles.
[14:04] Miorine
    We'll demonstrate through this negotiation
[14:07] Miorine
    that I and GUND-ARM, Inc...
[14:10] Miorine
    that the Benerit Group of the future...
[14:13] Miorine
    will save lives without fighting.
[14:19] Shaddiq
    To Earth?
[14:20] Sabina
    They intend to bring
    the Quinharbor riots to an end.
[14:24] Jeturk Student A
    Mr. Guel is awesome, right?
[14:27] Jeturk Student B
    He reclaimed the title of Holder
    right after re-enrolling.
[14:30] Jeturk Student C
    Now I hear he's going to Earth...
[14:32] Jeturk Student D
    I wish he'd been
    the leader from the beginning.
[14:34] Jeturk Student B
    When you've got it, you've got it.
[14:36] Jeturk Student C
    And you've got nothing, right?
[14:38] Jeturk Student B
    Shut up.
[14:44] Feng
    Excuse me!
[14:45] Feng
    I'm trying to get to my drop-off point.
[14:48] Feng
    Can you help me find my way?
[14:50] Belmeria
    Where are you headed?
[14:51] Feng
    Hangar 78.
[14:54] Belmeria
    That number is...
[14:56] Feng
    It's the one you at Shin Sei
    always request at Plant Quetta.
[15:03] Feng
    Do you mind if we have a word?
[15:08] Martin
    I learned my friend was...
    committing a crime and turned her in.
[15:14] Martin
    A crime is a crime.
[15:16] Martin
    As head of the House,
    I wanted to protect everyone!
[15:19] Martin
    I've done nothing wrong!
[15:21] Martin
    I did the right thing, didn't I?
[15:24] Martin
    Huh?
[15:27] Martin
    Whoa!
[15:30] Secelia
    You...
[15:31] Secelia
    You're a double-crossing
    little rat, aren't you?
[15:35] Rajan
    I believe I advised you
    to use your own judgment.
[15:39] Miorine
    And we've decided.
    Got a problem with that?
[15:43] Rajan
    I'd like to have some of my men
    join you for your own security.
[15:48] Kenanji
    Dominicus commander Kenanji Avery,
    at your service!
[15:51] Guel
    Commander Kenanji?!
[15:53] Kenanji
    Yes. Something wrong?
[15:55] Guel
    Oh, uh... nothing.
[15:57] Miorine
    Thank you for your assistance.
[15:59] Kenanji
    The pleasure is mine.
[16:00] Kenanji
    Well, well... you're not like
    your no-nonsense father.
[16:06] Ojelo
    We told you, we want to see Miorine.
[16:09] Haro
    Do you have an appointment?
[16:11] Chuchu
    Why do we need an appointment
    to meet with our buddy?!
[16:14] Lilique
    Maybe we should just
    turn in an application...
[16:18] Prospera
    Suletta is here?
[16:20] Godoy
    What should we do?
[16:26] Prospera
    Eri?
[16:29] Ojelo
    Go get 'er!
[16:32] Ojelo
    Why does she need a normal suit, though?
[16:35] Aliya
    Who knows...
[16:39] Suletta
    What's Ms. Miorine doing here?
[16:49] Suletta
    Aerial!
[16:51] Suletta
    Why are you here?
[16:55] Suletta
    Can I... come inside?
[17:07] Suletta
    Everyone!
[17:11] Suletta
    I thought I'd never see you again...
[17:16] Suletta
    Ms. Miorine said
    she didn't need me anymore.
[17:20] Suletta
    No, it can't be helped.
    I'm the one who broke our promise.
[17:27] Suletta
    I've moved forward. Like Mom says...
[17:31] Suletta
    But...
[17:33] Suletta
    I don't know what to do...
[17:35] Suletta
    I'm not the Holder anymore,
[17:37] Suletta
    and I don't have to duel.
[17:39] Suletta
    I study with my friends,
[17:41] Suletta
    and we can chat together over lunch.
[17:45] Suletta
    But even then, with Ms. Miorine gone...
[17:47] Suletta
    it hurts not being able to see her.
[17:52] Suletta
    "Move forward, gain two..."
[17:54] Suletta
    Right now...
[17:56] Suletta
    I can't believe that.
[18:18] Suletta
    Where am I?
[18:25] Ericht
    Mercurian year 154, day 63.
[18:29] Ericht
    Today's game was "DiggingKing."
[18:32] Ericht
    I won with a score of six to four.
[18:35] Ericht
    You cried, wanting a rematch...
[18:38] Ericht
    so Mom gave you hot cocoa
    and one honey-flavored candy.
[18:44] Suletta
    Aerial?
[18:45] Ericht
    My heating unit was broken
    from the solar storms,
[18:48] Ericht
    so you took your half-empty mug
    and held it to my cockpit.
[18:53] Ericht
    You said it would warm me.
[18:55] Suletta
    You're Aerial, aren't you?
[18:57] Suletta
    Why do you look like me...?
[18:58] GUND-Bit 1
    The door has opened.
[19:01] GUND-Bit 2
    We don't need the key anymore.
[19:04] Suletta
    Everyone? "Key"?
[19:06] GUND-Bit 3
    The key is you, Suletta.
[19:09] GUND-Bit 4
    Eri can only live inside the data storm,
    so you filled in for her.
[19:14] GUND-Bit 5
    Eri has no physical form,
    so you filled in for her.
[19:16] GUND-Bit 6
    Eri's body, her arms and legs,
    her extended consciousness...
[19:22] GUND-Bit 7
    That's us, the Children of the Coven.
[19:26] Suletta
    What do you mean?
[19:27] Suletta
    Filled in for her?
[19:29] Ericht
    You're all repli-children
    created from my genes.
[19:35] GUND-Bit 8
    17 years ago, when Mom...
[19:37] GUND-Bit 9
    Don't you remember?
[19:39] GUND-Bit 10
    But it's fine now.
[19:41] GUND-Bit 10
    Quiet Zero will create
    a world where Eri can live!
[19:45] GUND-Bit 11
    So we don't need you anymore, Suletta!
[19:48] Suletta
    No... You're wrong...
[19:51] Suletta
    After all, I...
[20:31] Ericht
    Do you understand?
[20:33] Ericht
    At score eight,
    I can move of my own free will.
[20:37] Ericht
    I'll no longer need a pilot.
[20:41] Suletta
    No...
[20:42] Ericht
    And that's why
[20:43] Ericht
    you can't cling to me anymore--
[20:45] Suletta
    No! Stop! Wait a minute!
[20:48] Ericht
    Not to me, or to Mom.
[20:50] Suletta
    Aerial!
[21:08] Prospera
    Suletta...
[21:11] Suletta
    Mom?
[21:14] Suletta
    It's not true, is it?
[21:17] Suletta
    Is something wrong with Aerial?
[21:20] Prospera
    No...
[21:23] Prospera
    It's just as Ericht said.
[21:26] Prospera
    Go back to the school, Suletta.
[21:30] Prospera
    It has all you need to fill your heart.
[21:51] Prospera
    Are you sure about this, Eri?
[21:54] Prospera
    What if she came with us...?
[22:00] Prospera
    You're right.
[22:01] Prospera
    Suletta deserves to live freely,
    doesn't she?
