[00:01] Guston
    Yes... Take it to the
    Benerit Group's head office front.
[00:06] Guston
    I have an idea for a pilot.
[00:31] Student D
    How many days has it been?
[00:33] Student H
    I could use a shower.
[00:35] Student E
    How long are they going to keep us here?
[00:38] Student F
    Until they let us relocate...
[00:40] Student G
    It's not like we did anything wrong...
[00:43] Student H
    I'm so sick of this.
[00:45] Suletta
    Does everyone have enough blankets?
[00:48] Suletta
    If you need one, speak up!
[00:50] Secelia
    I'll take one.
[00:51] Suletta
    Sure!
[00:53] Secelia
    Why are you doing all this, huh?
[00:57] Suletta
    Because I can move around!
[01:00] Student G
    Hey! Could we have some, too?
[01:02] Suletta
    Oh, right!
[01:04] Secelia
    Mercurian Miss...
[01:06] Secelia
    Have you changed?
[01:10] Suletta
    I guess so.
SIGN    Episode 21
[02:47] Guel
    How's Petra?
[02:48] Felsi
    They say she's still at risk.
[02:51] Felsi
    They're going to save her, aren't they?
[02:53] Felsi
    She'll be okay, right?
[02:55] Felsi
    I can't get hold of Mr. Lauda, either.
[02:59] Guel
    I'll try contacting him myself.
[03:01] Guel
    You guys get some rest.
[03:06] Guel
    Damn it...
[03:08] Kenanji
    This is an analysis of that machine...
[03:11] Kenanji
    There's no doubt
    it's the same Gundam as before.
[03:14] Kenanji
    I couldn't find anything that would
    let us identify the pilot.
[03:18] Rajan
    That we didn't notice
    Shaddiq Zenelli was harboring them...
[03:22] Rajan
    was a failure on our part.
[03:24] Kenanji
    I guess the Space Assembly League
    will make its move now.
[03:26] News
    Having learned that
    Miorine Rembran has been chosen to be ...

[03:30] Rajan
    At a time like this...
[03:30] News
    next president of the Benerit Group...
[03:33] Guel
    Where's Miorine? Is she back?
[03:35] Rajan
    Yes.
[03:36] Rajan
    But she has yet to...
[03:50] Guel
    I heard what happened at Quinharbor.
[03:54] Miorine
    Where did I go wrong?
[03:56] Miorine
    The town was destroyed...
[03:59] Miorine
    and so many people...
[04:02] Guel
    Don't shoulder everything yourself.
    It's not your fau--
[04:04] Miorine
    It was me.
[04:05] Miorine
    The people on Earth...
[04:08] Miorine
    and the school...
[04:10] Miorine
    it's all...
[04:12] Guel
    Right now, Rajan is speaking
    to the board members.
[04:15] Guel
    We have to set
    the Group's direction.
[04:19] Guel
    Also...
[04:20] Guel
    We have Shaddiq in custody.
[04:24] Shaddiq
    I hear you're going to be president.
[04:26] Shaddiq
    My condolences.
[04:28] Miorine
    Is that all you have to say?
[04:31] Shaddiq
    How are Sabina and the others?
[04:32] Miorine
    They're all unhurt.
[04:37] Shaddiq
    It was all my plan.
[04:39] Shaddiq
    I'd like you to go easy on them.
[04:42] Miorine
    It was too dazzling.
[04:44] Miorine
    Your ideal of putting Earth
    and space on equal terms.
[04:50] Miorine
    That's why you did it the wrong way.
[04:53] Shaddiq
    Still, someone has to do it.
[04:55] Shaddiq
    Even if it's just so there won't be
    more people like us.
[05:00] Miorine
    When did you involve
    the Assembly League?
[05:02] Shaddiq
    I made contact long ago.
[05:05] Shaddiq
    But I suppose
    I decided to cross the line when...
[05:10] Miorine
    What a fool.
[05:12] Shaddiq
    Do you think I'm despicable
    for using even cowardly means?
[05:16] Miorine
    No.
[05:18] Miorine
    I'm just as guilty.
[05:22] Student A
    I can't eat this stuff anymore.
    Isn't there anything better?
[05:26] Student B
    Not likely, in this state.
[05:28] Student A
    I want something different!
[05:31] Suletta
    Here you are!
[05:32] Student A
    Huh?
[05:33] Student A
    What are these?
[05:34] Suletta
    They're tomatoes!
[05:35] Student B
    I can tell that by looking at them, but...
[05:37] Suletta
    Please, just take a bite.
[05:39] Suletta
    Bite in!
[05:45] Student A
    Y-Yummy...
[05:46] Student B
    Huh? Seriously?
[05:49] Student B
    It's good!
[05:50] Student A
    Right?
[05:51] Student B
    Yeah!
[05:52] Girl Student 1
    I should've listened to my mom...
    and gone home sooner.
[05:56] Chuchu
    Here.
[05:58] Student 2
    Thanks.
[06:00] Chuchu
    Don't thank me...
[06:02] Chuchu
    Thank Suletta.
[06:05] Nuno
    Hey, Suletta...
[06:06] Suletta
    Yes?
[06:07] Nuno
    Wasn't the greenhouse crushed too?
[06:10] Suletta
    Well, the truth is...
[06:13] Suletta
    I was refrigerating
    the ones we hadn't eaten.
[06:16] Ojelo
    Whoa! This is awesome!
[06:18] Nuno
    That's quite a lot.
[06:20] Till
    What should we do with them?
[06:21] Suletta
    Since the power is still unstable,
    maybe we should hand them all out.
[06:25] Chuchu
    Sounds good. Let's do it.
[06:27] Martin
    Don't you have to ask Miorine?
[06:29] Suletta
    I'm sure Ms. Miorine would say,
    "Just hurry up and do it."
[06:34] Ojelo
    Yeah, sounds like her.
[06:39] Ojelo
    Thank goodness we had all these carts!
[06:41] Lilique
    We'll carry everything to the tents!
[06:43] Aliya
    Let's go back and get ready
    to hand things out.
[06:45] Suletta
    I'll help!
[06:49] Martin
    Nika!
[06:53] Martin
    I've been thinking...
    we need to talk one more time.
[06:58] Martin
    Um...
[07:00] Nika
    I...
[07:01] Nika
    Once the recovery work
    is done, I'm dropping out.
[07:04] Nika
    Oh, but that doesn't mean
    I've given up on school.
[07:07] Nika
    First I have to turn myself in
    and make amends...
[07:10] Nika
    then I can return to school
    in my own right.
[07:14] Nika
    I still don't want to give up on the dream
    of bridging Earth and space.
[07:24] Martin
    I'm so sorry.
[07:26] Martin
    It's not like I wanted
    to punish you, but...
[07:30] Martin
    What was I supposed to do?
[07:32] Nika
    If I'd been alone, I'd have given up.
[07:37] Nika
    But since I met you all...
[07:39] Nika
    Because you opened my eyes, Martin...
[07:42] Nika
    I can keep trying.
[07:46] Martin
    If you're ever in trouble,
    you can always tell me.
[07:50] Martin
    I'm the head of the House!
[07:53] Nika
    Thank you.
[07:55] Suletta
    Have some!
[07:56] Rouji's Haro
    Thank you very much.
[07:58] Rouji's Haro
    LP041, Suletta Mercury...
[08:01] Chuchu
    I guess that's about everyone.
[08:03] Suletta
    Right...
[08:05] Belmeria
    Suletta!
[08:07] Suletta
    Ms. Belmeria and...
[08:10] Guston
    Are you Prospera Mercury's daughter?
[08:13] Suletta
    Yes.
[08:14] Guston
    I'm Guston Parche, an inspector
    of the Space Assembly League.
[08:18] Suletta
    Assembly... League?
[08:19] Till
    An administrative body that mediates
    political problems among the fronts.
[08:24] Chuchu
    What does a bureaucrat like you
    want with us?
[08:27] Guston
    There's something we'd like to ask of you.
[08:35] Nugen
    The combat actions at the school front
    that endangered civilian students...
SIGN    The Space Assembly League Front
[08:40] Nugen
    The abduction of Grassley's CEO...
[08:42] Nugen
    These were all crimes committed
    within the Group.
[08:46] Golneri
    And the armed suppression of
    anti-Spacian demonstrations on Earth
[08:52] Golneri
    has resulted in many casualties.
[08:55] Kal
    Furthermore, we've confirmed
    they were secretly developing Quiet Zero,
[08:58] Kal
    a weapon of mass destruction.
[09:01] Nevola
    At present,
    the Benerit Group can only be called
[09:03] Nevola
    a threat to peace among the fronts.
[09:07] Chairman
    The courageous whistleblowing
    of Peil Technologies is to be commended.
[09:11] Chairman
    For the peace and tranquility of
    the fronts, the Space Assembly League
[09:16] Chairman
    hereby proposes a forcible intervention
[09:20] Chairman
    against the Benerit Group for the
    purpose of dissolving the conglomerate.
[09:30] Chairman
    By the unanimous consent
    of all members,
[09:32] Chairman
    and under the authority of
    Article 7 of the League Charter,
[09:37] Chairman
    the forcible intervention
    against the Benerit Group...
[09:40] Chairman
    is hereby approved.
[09:44] News
    According to their joint statement,
[09:46] News
    the League will act to resolve
    the unrest within the Benerit Group...

[09:49] Rajan
    Peil chose now to jump ship...
[09:52] Guel
    Haven't you been able to
    track down Prospera Mercury yet?
[09:55] Kenanji
    We searched Shin Sei's terminals,
[09:58] Kenanji
    but all data about Quiet Zero
    had already been erased.
[10:02] Guel
    What about the Mobile Suit
    Development Council and Cathedra?
[10:05] Rajan
    They've decided to second
    the Assembly League.
[10:12] Rajan
    It's from President Sarius.
[10:15] Miorine
    I'm glad to see you're well, Mr. President.
[10:18] Sarius
    Never mind the pleasantries.
[10:20] Sarius
    This is about the Assembly League.
[10:23] Miorine
    The situation is frustrating.
[10:25] Miorine
    Cathedra can no longer hold them back...
[10:29] Sarius
    You should have learned
    more from Delling.

[10:35] Sarius
    You must cut off me and Grassley.
[10:38] Miorine
    Huh?
[10:39] Sarius
    Pin all the responsibility on us
    and minimize the damage.

[10:44] Miorine
    But that means...
[10:46] Sarius
    You must think of the Group's
    continued existence first...

[10:50] Sarius
    Miorine Rembran.
[10:56] Miorine
    I can't do that.
[10:58] Miorine
    I never want to sacrifice...
[11:01] Miorine
    anyone else.
[11:05] Suletta
    Quiet Zero?
[11:07] Belmeria
    It's a system that establishes and extends
[11:11] Belmeria
    a data storm network deployed by Aerial
    and mobile suit-type GUND-Bits.
[11:15] Belmeria
    All systems that use Permet
    will be under its influence.
[11:20] Ojelo
    Data storm...?
[11:22] Nuno
    Is there anything that
    doesn't use Permet?!
[11:25] Till
    No. At least not in the fronts.
[11:28] Chuchu
    But doesn't that mean this whatsit
    will take over everything?!
[11:31] Guston
    Prospera Mercury plans to use Quiet Zero
[11:35] Guston
    to create a gigantic data storm network
    within the Earth Sphere.
[11:39] Guston
    If control of the fronts is lost,
[11:42] Guston
    at worst, there could be
    massive loss of life.
[11:46] Guston
    We must stop her before Benerit
    and the League come into conflict.
[11:50] Guston
    I ask for your cooperation, too.
[11:55] Suletta
    Reasoning with Mom...
[11:58] Suletta
    is probably impossible.
[12:01] Guston
    That can't be true.
    Surely you, her daughter...
[12:05] Suletta
    I'm not her real daughter.
[12:08] Nika
    Huh?
[12:09] Ojelo
    Wait, wh-what are you...
[12:12] Nuno
    You're adopted?
[12:13] Suletta
    Oh, uh... well,
    we're genetically related, but...
[12:17] Belmeria
    Suletta--
[12:19] Suletta
    It's fine.
[12:20] Suletta
    I want everyone to hear.
[12:23] Suletta
    About my mom, me, and...
[12:26] Suletta
    about Aerial.
[12:32] Suletta
    To my mom, there's only one
    real daughter... that's Aerial.
[12:36] Suletta
    Or rather, Ericht.
[12:39] Suletta
    Oh, and Ericht is...
    sort of my big sister, or...
[12:43] Suletta
    I guess I'm what they call a repli-child,
[12:47] Suletta
    made from Ericht's genes.
[12:51] Suletta
    Long ago, Mom was researching
    GUND technology.
[12:55] Suletta
    But when the Vanadis Incident
    happened 21 years ago...
[12:59] Suletta
    she fled to Mercury with Ericht.
[13:02] Suletta
    Ericht's body was weakened,
    and she was about to die.
[13:06] Suletta
    That's when Mom used GUND technology
[13:10] Suletta
    to transfer Ericht's
    biometric code to Aerial.
[13:15] Suletta
    That means Aerial is now... Ericht's body.
[13:20] Suletta
    But it seems Ericht can only live
    inside this data storm thing.
[13:26] Suletta
    So Mom's trying to create a place
    where she can live freely.
[13:31] Suletta
    They said I was just a key
    to get to that point.
[13:36] Suletta
    I loved my mom dearly.
[13:40] Suletta
    I still do.
[13:42] Suletta
    Thanks to Mom, I was able to go to school
[13:45] Suletta
    and meet all of you.
[13:48] Suletta
    But what's most precious to Mom...
[13:52] Suletta
    is Ericht.
[13:54] Suletta
    No matter what I say,
    I don't think she'll listen.
[13:59] Suletta
    I'm sorry I can't be of more use.
[14:07] Guston
    If there's another option
    than reasoning with her...
[14:11] Suletta
    Huh?
[14:12] Guston
    There's a machine the Assembly League
    confiscated during the Vanadis Incident.
[14:17] Guston
    It's a Gundam
    they nicknamed a "monster"...
[14:22] Guston
    We'd like you to pilot that Gundam.
[14:26] Belmeria
    Hold it!
[14:27] Belmeria
    You mean the Calibarn?
[14:29] Belmeria
    That machine has no filter
    against data storms!
[14:33] Belmeria
    When she operates it, she'll...
[14:35] Guston
    If persuasion's out of the question,
    it's our only option.
[14:41] Nika
    Would you just back off, Ms. Belmeria?
[14:44] Martin
    Nika?
[14:45] Nika
    At Peil, how many pilots did you
    sacrifice in your Gundam experiments?!
[14:51] Nika
    Like Elan Ceres...
[14:54] Nika
    Now you're making Suletta expendable?
[14:57] Belmeria
    No. That's not what I--
[14:59] Nika
    Then why?
[15:00] Belmeria
    I don't know.
[15:03] Nika
    Huh?
[15:03] Belmeria
    Shameful, isn't it?
[15:05] Belmeria
    For an adult my age...
[15:08] Belmeria
    On that day, 21 years ago...
[15:11] Belmeria
    If only I'd died with the others...
[15:14] Belmeria
    I've had that thought again and again...
[15:18] Belmeria
    But still, I...
[15:23] Belmeria
    Forgive me.
[15:26] Belmeria
    I'm so sorry!
[15:29] Nika
    You're too selfish.
[15:31] Nika
    Suletta, you can't pilot that thing!
[15:34] Suletta
    Why didn't I realize until now?
[15:37] Nika
    Huh?
[15:38] Suletta
    I've never been under
    the Gundam's curse...
[15:42] Suletta
    because Ericht was taking it on herself.
[15:45] Suletta
    It must be...
[15:47] Belmeria
    Only Ericht... was able to
    fully synchronize with the data storm.
[15:52] Belmeria
    That's why you were never affected.
[15:59] Suletta
    I...
[16:01] Suletta
    want to talk to Ericht.
[16:04] Suletta
    And with my mom, one more time.
[16:06] Nika
    Suletta!
[16:07] Chuchu
    Wait a minute!
[16:08] Chuchu
    Do you really have to do it?
[16:11] Ojelo
    You might die!
[16:12] Lilique
    Ms. Ericht won't protect you this time!
[16:15] Suletta
    When I was handing out the tomatoes...
[16:18] Suletta
    I realized something.
[16:20] Suletta
    Even if I don't gain anything,
[16:22] Suletta
    I have to do what I can.
[16:27] Suletta
    Take me there.
[16:29] Suletta
    To the Gundam.
[16:58] Staff A
    Aerial and Quiet Zero
    have established interconnection.
[17:02] Godoy
    Are you ready, Madam President?
[17:04] Prospera
    Yes.
[17:06] Prospera
    Let's go.
[17:08] Assembly League Operator A
    Attention all ships! Go to Level 4 alert!
[17:11] Assembly League Operator A
    We're entering the fleet's
    combined search area.
[17:15] Assembly League Operator B
    Permet ID codes detected
    near Lagrange 2 satellite cloud!
[17:20] Chairman
    Are they Benerit vessels?
[17:22] Assembly League Operator B
    No...
[17:23] Assembly League Operator B
    Something bigger than that.
[17:31] Guel
    Don't tell me... that's...
[17:34] Guel
    Quiet Zero?!
[17:37] Vice Chairman
    What do we do?
[17:38] Chairman
    We'll capture it, as planned.
[17:40] Chairman
    It'll be good evidence
    for our accusation of Benerit.
[17:44] Staff B
    Fleet-scale Permet ID codes detected.
[17:47] Staff B
    All belong to the Assembly League fleet.
[17:50] Prospera
    Eri...
[17:52] Prospera
    Please.
[18:11] Assembly League Operator A
    Objects from Quiet Zero!
[18:13] Assembly League Operator A
    They appear to be mobile suits.
[18:14] Chairman
    Cargores...
[18:16] Chairman
    Launch.
[18:39] Assembly League Pilot A
    Are these things unmanned?
[18:46] Assembly League Pilot C
    Assume anti-drone formation!
[18:48] Assembly League Pilot B
    No use! They're too maneuv--
[18:52] Staff A
    Quiet Zero receiving
    multi-layer calls from all elements.
[18:55] Staff B
    Beginning creation of data storm space.
[19:16] Assembly League Operator A
    We've lost control of our Permet links!
[19:18] Assembly League Operator A
    The fleet command system is inoperable!
[19:20] Operator
    We've been overridden.
[19:21] Chairman
    What?
[19:23] Assembly League Pilot C
    Come on! Move, damn it!
[19:25] Assembly League Pilot C
    Move!
[19:46] Chairman
    You damned witches!
[19:52] Staff A
    Override of all Assembly League vessel
    and mobile suit systems complete.

[19:59] Prospera
    Well done.
[20:01] Prospera
    Thank you, Eri.
[20:04] Prospera
    It's finally begun.
[20:07] Prospera
    The world I'm creating for you!
[20:14] Guel
    The Assembly League fleet...
[20:16] Guel
    that easily...
[20:19] Rajan
    Announce a state of emergency
    to all of Lagrange 4.
[20:22] Rajan
    Evacuate from this sector...
[20:22] Miorine
    Not again... More lives...
[20:25] Kenanji
    We'll arrange it at once!
[20:27] Miorine
    I...
[20:28] Guston
    The entire fleet was destroyed?
[20:30] Nuno
    What? No way!
[20:32] Ojelo
    Is this Quiet Zero thing that crazy?
[20:37] Guston
    At least we've pinpointed their location.
[20:40] Guston
    We'll approach via
    the head office front--
[20:41] Chuchu
    Hold it, old man!
[20:43] Chuchu
    Take us with you, too.
[20:45] Chuchu
    You can let us leave this front,
    can't you?
[20:47] Guston
    "Old man..."?
[20:49] Suletta
    Ms. Chuchu, a minute ago, you...
[20:51] Chuchu
    Of course, I'm still opposed to it!
[20:53] Chuchu
    But that's why we can't
    let you go alone, Suletta.
[20:57] Martin
    I...
[20:58] Chuchu
    Huh?
[20:59] Martin
    ...will never again...
[21:00] Martin
    abandon one of my housemates!
[21:04] Elan (Clone 5)
    How nice.
[21:06] Elan (Clone 5)
    Take me with you, too.
[21:08] Suletta
    Mr... Elan...?
[21:10] Nika
    Why... are you here?
[21:12] Elan (Clone 5)
    With security this tight,
    there's no way I could escape alone.
[21:18] Elan (Clone 5)
    There's somewhere I want to go.
[21:20] Elan (Clone 5)
    If you'll let me walk away,
    I'll lend you a hand.
[21:23] Elan (Clone 5)
    Though I refuse to pilot a Gundam.
[21:27] Aliya
    Has he changed personalities again?
[21:28] Lilique
    Yeah!
[21:29] Elan (Clone 5)
    I'm sorry for messing with you
    all those times.
[21:32] Elan (Clone 5)
    My apologies.
[21:34] Suletta
    Will you tell me about
    the Mr. Elan I knew?
[21:40] Elan (Clone 5)
    As much as I know myself.
[21:43] Suletta
    Thank you very much.
[21:46] Guston
    I really hate... being an adult.
[21:58] Lauda
    It's her fault.
[22:01] Lauda
    Petra... the school...
[22:03] Lauda
    and how my brother changed...
[22:09] Lauda
    Miorine!
