[00:06] Komaki
    On April 19th, 1973,
[00:14] Komaki
    a race of extra-terrestrial lifeforms
    launched a landing unit from the moon,
[00:18] ---
    which touched down on Earth.
SIGN    Years Later
[00:32] Komaki
    Ever since, mankind has been engaged
    in all-out war with this alien species.
[00:38] Komaki
    The population of Earth has fallen
    and is now one to two billion.
[00:42] ---
    As the invaders were Beings
[00:44] ---
    of Extra-Terrestrial origin who were
    Adversarial to the human race,
[00:49] ---
    they were named the BETA.
[00:52] ---
    In order to cope with the threat they posed,
[00:54] ---
    humans developed the Tactical Surface Fighter.
[00:57] ---
    In July of 1998, the BETA
    advance on Japan began,
[01:01] ---
    and before long, the Kitakyushu
    and Chugoku regions were lost.
[01:05] ---
    On August 15th, the imperial
    capital of Kyoto finally fell,
[01:11] ---
    and the battlefield expanded
    into eastern Japan.

[03:06] Locker sign
    Komaki
[03:08] Locker sign
    Sado was fortified early on, so it could be
    the keystone of the Sea of Japan's defense.
[03:13] Komaki
    What happened to the two TSF battalions
    that are supposed to be assigned here?
[03:17] Kusano
    They were sent to Niigata as backup
    to deal with the BETA advance.
[03:21] Kusano
    And to top it off, the two remaining squadrons
[03:23] ---
    had a lot of their manpower sent with them.
[03:27] Komaki
    So the idea is to have
    new pilots pick up the slack?
[03:30] Kusano
    That goes for me, too. I arrived
    from Yokohama a week ago.
[03:34] Komaki
    So they put two rookies together?
[03:43] Kusano
    If Niigata falls and the mountains in
    Gunma and Nagano become BETA territory...
[03:45] Troops
    Lunchtime.
[03:47] Troops
    Hey, appreciate it.
[03:48] Kusano
    That'll put the entire Kanto plain
    within Laser-class firing range.
[03:53] Komaki
    Tokyo and your Yokohama would
    be in danger of falling, then.
[04:00] Kusano
    We have to keep that from
    happening, no matter what.
[04:04] Komaki
    My old squadmates were all motivated
    to protect their hometowns, too.
[04:09] Komaki
    But over half of them never made
    it back from our first sortie.
[04:14] Komaki
    They couldn't survive the
    eight minutes of death.
[04:17] Kusano
    I know about it.
[04:19] Kusano
    But I still intend to protect this country.
[04:37] Komaki
    Weren't the civilians told to evacuate?
[04:40] Kusano
    A mandatory evacuation order was issued,
[04:43] ---
    but they'd bs abandoning the place
    where they've spent their lives.
[04:46] Kusano
    Or the place their families
    would be returning to visit.
[04:49] Kusano
    Many have refused to leave.
[04:53] Kusano
    Not to mention, with the
    fall of western Japan,
[04:56] Kusano
    it's not even clear where they'd be sent.
[05:00] Komaki
    The people aren't being
    shown the way forward...
