    I repeat, no BETA activity detected.
[00:19] Abe
    We've made it back.
[00:22] Abe
    And I've never forgotten the
     frustration I felt when we left.
[00:25] Abe
    But that ends now. It's time we
    show the BETA what mankind can do!

[02:56] Takeru
    This is the beginning of
     mankind's counterattack.

    This is Stingray-1 to HQ!
[03:33] Stingray-1

    They're targeting the TSF carriers!
SIGN    Operation 21st
[03:46] Pyatkh
    Phase 2 of the operation is underway.
[03:48] Pyatkh
    The IJN Combined Fleet 2nd Squadron
    is maintaining attack. Casualty rate is 40%.
[03:53] Suyama
    Whiskey Unit has successfully landed.
[03:55] Suyama
    They've secured Old Yahata and
    Old Kawaharada. Casualty rate is at 7%.
[04:01] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to all units.
[04:02] Haruka
    Echo landing force is currently heading
    south towards Ryotsu Bay at full speed.
[04:07] Hasegawa
    Landing unit casualties are significant,
    but not enough to hinder the objective.
[04:10] Hasegawa
    Confirmed 81 craft, including 49 TSF carriers,
     have sunk. Another 52 are heavily damaged...
[04:15] Takeru
    We started taking a hell of a lot of
    losses as soon as things kicked off.
[04:19] Takeru
    I know it's part of the plan,
[04:20] Takeru
    but having to sit here and watch
    our guys go down like this is rough.
[04:25] Isumi
    Valkyrie-1 to squadron.
[04:27] Isumi
    Echo is ready to touch down at Ryotsu Bay.
[04:30] Isumi
    But our advance forces have been cut down
    to size by Laser-Class fire from the coast.
[04:34] Isumi
    Be ready to move out at any moment.
[04:36] A-01
    Roger that!
[04:38] Pyatkh

    formally known as Ryotsu is under our control.
[05:43] IJA Pilot
    Ryotsu Port is now secure.
[05:44] Daiwa Operator 1
    Copy that. Second Armored Unit,

[05:47] Daiwa Operator 1
    Sweep the area for remaining hostiles.
SIGN    184 Minutes Since Operation Start, 40km Off West-southwest Coast of Sadogashima
[05:50] Pyatkh
    Whiskey is collectively at 33% casualties.
[05:52] Pyatkh
    Echo is at 13%.
[05:55] Pyatkh
    Both are still capable
    of proceeding with the mission.
[05:57] Pyatkh
    Whiskey's main force is forming a defensive
    line across Old Sawane and Old Takase.
[06:01] Pyatkh
    The detached force has abandoned
    Old Kubota, and is moving westward.
[06:05] Suyama
    Echo's main force has secured
    Old Matsugasaki, and is continuing northward.
[06:09] Ozawa
    I am hereby announcing the
    transition to Phase 4 of the operation.
[06:14] Pyatkh
    HQ to all forces.
    The operation is now in Phase 4.
[06:18] Pyatkh
    I repeat, the operation is moving onto Phase 4.
[06:21] Yuuko
    The Imperials are doing
    a good job of holding out.
[06:24] Ozawa
    Executive Officer Kouzuki...
[06:26] Ozawa
    Japan has long dreamed of
    eradicating the hive on Sadogashima.
[06:29] Ozawa
    This may be a joint operation with the UN,
[06:31] Ozawa
    but we consider it to be a personal battle,
    with the survival of our empire on the line.
[06:35] Ozawa
    It's only natural that our
    soldiers would do their utmost.
[06:38] Yuuko
    You've got a point. My apologies, Admiral.
[06:42] Ozawa
    If anything, I'm impressed by
    the Far East UN's forces...
[06:45] Ozawa
    It's admirable how they fight so
     fiercely after losing their homes.
[06:49] Yuuko
    This battle is personal for them too, sir.
[06:53] Yuuko
    A lot of them consider it
    a first step to retaking Asia.
[06:57] Haruka
    Valkyrie squad has occupied Old Kaminiibo.
    They're maintaining high alert.
[07:01] Yuuko
    That's way ahead of schedule.
    Impressive, Isumi.
SIGN    Operation 21st
[07:06] Pyatkh
    The UN Orbital Fleet has confirmed
    that re-entry shells have separated.
[07:09] Pyatkh
    Their payload has entered the atmosphere.
[07:10] Yuuko
    What's A-02's current location,
    Lieutenant Pyatkh?
[07:13] Pyatkh
    Currently passing through the vicinity of
    Nagaoka in Niigata Prefecture.
[07:17] Pyatkh
    All systems functional.
    The operation can proceed as planned.
[07:19] Ozawa
    A-02... that's the new weapon, yes?
[07:23] Ozawa
    For the sake of everyone
    fighting on Sadogashima,
[07:26] Ozawa
    I hope it can live up to the rumors.
[07:30] Yuuko
    Of course.
[07:31] Takeru
    Valkyrie-11 here. That's eight Grappler-Class
    down. No reinforcements in sight.
[07:35] Takeru
    Doesn't seem like a coordinated attack.
[07:37] Hayase
    Valkyrie-2, copy that.
    All units, let's resupply, and quickly.
[07:40] Isumi
    Valkyrie-1 to all units.
    A-02 is en route, as planned.
[07:44] Isumi
    Don't let a single BETA get in its way.
[07:47] Isumi
    And that goes double for keeping
    the staging position for Plan B clear.
[07:50] Isumi
    The pride and glory of Alternative IV's
    special task force are on the line here.
[07:54] Isumi
    Let's make sure the Imperials and
     UN soldiers see this was worth it!
[07:57] Isumi
    You hear me?!
[07:58] A-01
    Yes, ma'am!
[07:59] Takeru
    Whiskey's down 30%.
[08:02] Takeru
    The captain's gotta be worried
    about her sister.
[08:05] Takeru
    Just like Meiya, with Tsukuyomi-san.
[08:08] Takeru
    Harsh as this world is,
    it's not like people want to die.
[08:12] Takeru
    They're all fighting to give humanity a future.
[08:15] Takeru
    We've got a responsibility to make sure
[08:17] Takeru
    those intentions, and sacrifices,
    don't go to waste.
[08:19] Takeru
    And I'm not afraid of bearing
    that burden anymore.
[08:22] Meiya
    Takeru...
[08:23] Takeru
    What's up?! BETA?!
[08:25] Meiya
    No, it's not them. You need to resupply.
[08:28] Takeru
    Oh, right... You scared me for a sec.
[08:32] Takeru
    We'll swap places, then. You keep an eye out.
[08:34] Meiya
    A moment, Takeru.
[08:36] Meiya
    Are you all right?
[08:39] Meiya
    Perhaps it's needless worry...
    but I was curious.
[08:43] Meiya
    Is everything fine?
[08:44] Takeru
    Yeah. The captain had me go
    through a bit of hypnotherapy.
[08:48] Takeru
    I've had no trouble
    holding it together, thanks to that.
[08:51] Meiya
    That's wonderful to hear.
[08:54] Isumi
    Valkyrie-1 to all units.
    The Orbital Divers are incoming.
[08:58] Isumi
    I want all of you braced for
    re-entry shell impacts.
[09:00] Isumi
    Don't look at the projected
    entry course and relax, either.
[09:03] Isumi
    When the enemy opens fire,
    it could send debris our way.
[09:05] A-01
    Roger!
[09:07] Operator
    Landing points for Sauber,
    Ghost, Razor, and Juliet confirmed.
[09:28] Takeru
    This is what war with the BETA is like?
[09:31] Operator
    Sauber squad, proceed to the lower stratum.
[09:36] Pyatkh
    Whiskey, Juliet, and Kilo groups have
    occupied the first ten levels of the hive.
[09:40] Pyatkh
    Lima group has made it to the 11th stratum,
     and are currently in Hall M15.
[09:44] Suyama
    No organized BETA resistance so far.
[09:46] Suyama
    The diversion operations
    on the surface are still in effect.
[09:49] Suyama
    No additional casualties
    among diversionary forces.
[09:51] Sauber-1
    This is Sauber-1 to command post.
SIGN    227 Minutes Since Operation Start, 440m Beneath the Hive on Sadogashima
[09:53] Sauber-1
    We're in the 12th stratum
    and have just secured hall M19.
[09:56] Pyatkh
    Command post, copy that.
    Proceed to the hive's main shaft.
[10:00] Sauber-1
    Sauber-1, copy that.
[10:01] Sauber-1
    Ghost squad, I want a route scan.
[10:03] Sauber-1
    Razor squad, I want you on alert
    and watching the drift in front of us.
[10:06] Ghost-1/Razor-1
    Roger.
[10:07] Razor-1
    This is Razor-1, I've got hits on both
    sonic and seismic! They're below us!
[10:11] Sauber-3
    Estimated count is...
[10:13] Sauber-3
    O-Over 40,000!
[10:15] Sauber-1
    All units, fall back to hall N17!
[10:18] Sauber-1
    We'll rendezvous with the rear
    guard and face them down!
[10:20] Sauber-1
    Let Lima group in the rear
    know what's going on!
[10:22] Sauber-2
    Roger!
[10:24] Sauber-1
    This is Sauber-1 to command post.
[10:25] Sauber-1
    There are 40,000 BETA moving up from
    the 14th stratum, headed for the surface!
[10:30] Sauber-3
    Commander, these sonic readings
    don't make any sense.
[10:33] Sauber-3
    They're moving above us,
    where there shouldn't be any shafts!
[10:35] Sauber-1
    That's impossible! They'd have be
    digging another shaft as we speak!
[10:39] Ghost-1
    There's no other explanation!
    They're digging their way to the surface!
[10:40] Sauber-1
    Shit! Send an emergency heads-up
    to the rest of the strike force!
[10:43] Sauber-2
    No good! The wired connection is down!
[10:45] Sauber-1
    What?!
[10:47] Sauber-3
    There you bastards are!
[10:59] Takeru
    What's causing these tremors?
[11:01] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to all units. We've lost
    contact with the entire hive strike force.
[11:06] Takeru
    A huge force like that? No way...
[11:06] Haruka
    The operation is now moving to Test Plan B.
[11:08] Takeru
    Were they seriously wiped out that quickly?
[11:08] Haruka
    A-02's new objective is
    neutralization of the hive.
[11:12] Isumi
    Valkyrie-1, copy that.
[11:14] Isumi
    We will continue to secure
    A-02's staging point.
[11:17] Haruka
    BETA are exiting the hive's assorted
    gates as we speak. Maintain alert.
[11:22] Takeru
    The Imperials and UN
    went hard on the distraction...
[11:26] Takeru
    But there are still a lot of BETA left?
[11:28] Isumi
    Hayase, Munakata,
[11:30] Isumi
    we're lucky that there's no Laser-Class,
    but there's plenty of everything else.
[11:33] Isumi
    We'll take them on in our individual flights.
[11:34] Hayase/Munakata
    Roger that!
[11:35] Munakata
    We're taking the 18 on the left.
[11:37] Munakata
    C-Flight, follow me!
[11:39] Touko/Kashiwagi/Akane
    Roger!
[11:41] Isumi
    The 22 on the right are ours, A-Flight.
[11:44] Isumi
    Move out!
[11:45] Chizuru/Mikoto/Tama/Sakura
    Roger!
[11:47] Hayase
    We've only got 19 in the middle.
[11:49] Hayase
    Let's wrap them up, and swipe
    a few from the other flights!
[11:52] Hayase
    Show them what Storm Vanguards are made of!
[11:54] Takeru/Meiya/Ayamine
    Roger!
[12:13] Hayase
    B-Flight has eliminated all BETA.
[12:16] Munakata
    Likewise. C-Flight's done on our end.
[12:19] Isumi
    Can't believe Hayase's team got the drop
    on us again. She stole three of our kills.
[12:24] Munakata
    That's in addition to the two
    she snatched from B-Flight.
[12:27] Hayase
    What can I say?
    My people are good at their jobs!
[12:32] Isumi
    I take it they've finally
    earned your approval, then?
[12:35] Hayase
    Well, you can be a hotshot during training,
    but that doesn't actually prove anything.
[12:39] Hayase
    It's real combat that you can brag about.
[12:41] Munakata
    You hear that, Shirogane?
[12:45] Isumi
    Everything all right?
[12:46] Sakura
    Yes. I'm doing okay.
[12:50] Isumi
    Okay, all flights,
    head to the coordinates and—
[12:53] Touko
    Captain!
[12:54] Isumi
    What is it, Kazama?
[12:56] Touko
    All the BETA in the vicinity of the hive...
    are headed our way.
[13:01] Mikoto
    No way! Were the diversionary
    forces wiped out?!
[13:04] Chizuru
    Their markers are still active.
[13:06] Chizuru
    Over half of them
    are still intact, so why...?
[13:08] Ayamine
    Only the BETA could answer that.
[13:11] Kashiwagi
    Well said, Ayamine! We're not gonna
    get any answers worrying about it.
[13:15] Akane
    We've just got to fight!
[13:17] Akane
    We need to hold the
     staging position, no matter what!
[13:19] Meiya
    Indeed. Fulfilling our mission
    is the only way
[13:22] Meiya
    we can repay those who passed on before us.
[13:25] Isumi
    Gather all the resupply
    containers as you can!
[13:28] Isumi
    We're gonna set up a defensive line
    at the Niibo dam,
[13:31] Isumi
    200 meters from the staging point.
[13:33] A-01
    Roger that!
[13:34] Isumi
    Valkyrie-1 to HQ, we've got
    a division-sized herd headed our way.
[13:38] Isumi
    Requesting artillery support.
[13:40] Pyatkh
    HQ to all operational fleets.
[13:43] Pyatkh
    Please target the following coordinates
    with your fire support.
[13:53] Touko
    Here comes the artillery!
[14:01] Munakata
    What a relief. Here's hoping
    this actually clears them out.
[14:08] Munakata
    Laser-Class?!
[14:09] Isumi
    All units, fall back to the defensive line!
    Use the cliffs for cover!
[14:14] Pyatkh
    70% of the fusillade was shot down.
[14:16] Pyatkh
    The BETA forces are still headed
    toward A-02's staging position
[14:19] Pyatkh
    at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
[14:22] Pyatkh
    From the amount of interceptor fire,
    we estimate at least 100 Laser-Class.
[14:25] Yuuko
    This isn't good. We didn't
    anticipate a reserve force this big.
[14:30] Ozawa
    XO, we should switch to
    anti-laser rounds immediately.
[14:34] Ozawa
    That strain always prioritizes flying objects.
[14:37] Ozawa
    Even if we can't actually
    thin their numbers out,
[14:39] Ozawa
    we can keep them from targeting our allies.
[14:42] Yuuko
    Makes sense. Let's do it.
[14:45] Yuuko
    You catch all that, Lieutenant Pyatkh?
[14:47] Pyatkh
    Yes, ma'am.
[14:48] Yuuko
    Admiral Ozawa, I believe
    that the BETA are after A-02.
[14:53] Yuuko
    The fact that the Laser-Class weren't used
    to attack until now points in that direction.
[14:57] Ozawa
    Remarkable. How could they
    possibly know about it?
[15:00] Yuuko
    I honestly couldn't tell you.
[15:02] Yuuko
    But it does fly, and it has the most advanced
[15:05] Ozawa
    computational abilities
    of anything in this area.
[15:07] Yuuko
    Other than that,
[15:08] Ozawa
    the only other thing I can think of is
    that it has some one-of-a-kind hardware.
[15:12] Ozawa
    Regardless, if A-02 is humanity's
    secret weapon, we can't let them reach it.
[15:18] Yuuko
    That's what the escort unit is for.
[15:20] Yuuko
    He...
[15:21] Yuuko
    No, they will be able to manage.
[15:24] Haruka
    The fleet is currently
    switching to anti-laser shells.
[15:27] Haruka
    Their bombardment will resume in ten minutes.
[15:29] Chizuru
    And in ten minutes, the BETA will have
     covered another four kilometers.
[15:33] Takeru
    Damn it! Are we just gonna
    have to hide until then?
[15:37] Ayamine
    Not much else we can do
    if there are Laser-Class.
[15:39] Tama
    And then then four minutes after that,
    the Laser-Class will be here...
[15:43] Mikoto
    I guess the operation depends on
    how many Laser-Class
[15:46] Mikoto
    the fire support can blast
    in those four minutes.
[15:50] Takeru
    The Destroyer-Class are the fastest strain,
    and they'll be here even sooner.
[15:53] Takeru
    I don't see how we can get
    behind them while maintaining cover.
[15:55] Mikoto
    What can we manage in 14 minutes?
[15:58] Ayamine
    That's enough time to eat 15 yakisoba buns.
[16:01] Tama
    I'm impressed you can even
    think about food right now.
[16:04] Chizuru
    I get queasy just hearing about it.
[16:07] Meiya
    They do say that eating is
    part of a soldier's duties, but...
[16:12] Tama
    I hope we all get to eat back
    at the cafeteria again.
[16:18] Meiya
    The base is where our hearts will return.
[16:22] Takeru
    Guys, quit being so—
[16:23] Hayase
    Unbelievable!
[16:25] Hayase
    The second I give you a little credit,
    there's all this melodrama!
[16:30] Isumi
    Listen up, people.
    Here's what we're dealing with.
[16:33] Isumi
    The advance enemy force will hit the defensive
    line in 10 minutes, and the main force in 14.
[16:37] Isumi
    In other words, that's when they reach us.
[16:41] Takeru
    Around the same time,
    the fire support will kick back in.
[16:43] Takeru
    But even with artillery backing us up,
    are we seriously gonna expose ourselves
[16:47] Takeru
    to Laser-Class fire while trying to take on
    a swarm of Destroyer-Class?
[16:49] Isumi
    There are two reasons this spot
    was chosen to stage the firing sequence:
[16:53] Isumi
    The geography still matches
    what we have on record,
[16:55] Isumi
    and that geography opens up,
    facing directly towards the hive.
[16:58] Isumi
    By moving through this valley,
[17:01] Isumi
    it limits the angle of attack
    that the Laser-Class can target.
[17:03] Isumi
    It also allows us to plan on firing
    the charged particle cannon
[17:06] Isumi
    without having to adjust for position.
[17:08] Isumi
    The thing is, this location works out
    for us, just as much as A-02.
[17:13] Isumi
    Considering how we haven't been
    shot down after our fire support stopped,
[17:17] Isumi
    we can assume that the enemy is after A-02.
[17:21] Takeru
    The Susano-O?! They already know it's coming?
[17:24] Isumi
    We're all going to hide
    behind cover and cut our engines.
[17:27] Isumi
    A-Flight and C-Flight will face away
    from the enemy, with B-Flight facing them.
[17:31] Isumi
    We'll be down to our Fortified Suits'
    passive systems for comms.
[17:34] Isumi
    Valkyrie Mom will give us
    the signal to start back up.
[17:37] Isumi
    Once the enemy vanguard passes us by,
[17:38] Isumi
    A-Flight and C-Flight will jump on them
    from behind, wiping them out.
[17:42] Isumi
    The tightness of the valley
    will be a real problem
[17:44] Isumi
    for a large number of
    advancing Destroyer-Class,
[17:46] Isumi
    and turning around
    will be an ordeal for them.
[17:48] Takeru
    That'll mean we can get the drop
    on them while still behind cover!
[17:51] Isumi
    Fill their asses full of depleted uranium.
[17:54] Isumi
    Once our support fire has got
    a heavy metal cloud in place again,
[17:57] Isumi
    B-Flight will assault the main force.
[17:59] Isumi
    C-Flight turns around to back them up.
[18:02] Ayamine
    We're charging their main force?
[18:04] Isumi
    Rutherford field or not,
    we're can't risk a worst-case scenario.
[18:09] Isumi
    I want every last Heavy Laser-Class
    on this battlefield dead!
[18:12] A-01
    Roger!
[18:22] Takeru
    So we're taking on thousands
    of BETA with 13 TSFs...
[18:27] Hayase
    You heard the plan, people.
[18:29] Hayase
    If you stick to your training,
    I'll kick your butts!
[18:31] Takeru
    Uh, Lieutenant Hayase, isn't this usually
[18:34] Takeru
    where they say "stick to your training
    and you'll be fine"?
[18:37] Hayase
    You think we can afford that kind of
    softball shit in this situation?!
[18:40] Hayase
    I expect better performance
    than during training! Got that?!
[18:43] Meiya/Ayamine
    Roger.
[18:44] Hayase
    Especially with you, Shirogane.
[18:45] Hayase
    I need a real hotshot,
    ace-pilot performance, okay?
[18:50] Takeru
    R-Roger that.
[18:52] Hayase
    I'm counting on you.
[18:56] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
[18:58] Haruka
    the enemy vanguard is continuing to advance
    at a pace of 90 kilometers per hour.
[19:01] Haruka
    360 seconds until they reach
    the defensive line.
[19:04] Takeru
    Damn it...
[19:05] Takeru
    I've got some real bad memories
    when it comes to dark cockpits.
[19:13] Takeru
    But I'm fine now!
    The hypnotherapy saw to that.
[19:21] Takeru
    Wait, what was that? Why were Meiya and I...
[19:25] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries,
[19:27] Haruka
    the enemy vanguard
    is passing the defensive line!
[19:29] Haruka
    90 seconds until the last
    of them are past you!
[19:31] Haruka
    All units, reactivate! I repeat,
    everyone needs to switch back on!
[19:34] Takeru
    Here we go!
[19:35] OS
    XM3 online.
[19:39] Isumi
    A-Flight and C-Flight, fire at will!
[19:42] Isumi
    We're at a buffet, and we're gonna
    clean the place out!
[19:45] A-01
    Roger!
SIGN    Meanwhile • IJN Combined Fleet 3rd Squadron & UN Far East Fleet
[19:50] Yamato Operator
    All ships, prepare for sustained
    anti-laser round fire!
[19:54] Yamato Operator
    Target coordinates have not changed!
[19:55] Tadokoro
    Fire!
[19:57] Isumi
    Heavy metal cloud is in effect!
    I repeat, heavy metal cloud is in effect!
[20:01] Isumi
    C-Flight, about face! B-Flight, charge!
[20:09] Isumi
    Don't worry about the runts!
[20:11] Isumi
    Take those Heavy Laser-Class down ASAP!
[20:13] Isumi
    Show them why we're called Valkyries!
[20:16] Hayase
    Let's prove what
    Storm Vanguards are capable of!
[20:18] Takeru/Meiya/Ayamine
    Roger!
[20:30] Takeru
    Not today!
[20:33] Hayase
    Shirogane, ignore the Fort-Class!
[20:36] Akane
    Lieutenant, we've got another three
    Fort-Class at 2 o'clock!
[20:39] Touko
    Not just that! They're forming up
    around the Heavy Laser-Class!
[20:42] Ayamine
    So annoying!
[20:44] Akane
    If we don't get past them soon,
    we'll be overwhelmed!
[20:46] Takeru
    We need to clear out the Laser-Class before
    the Susano-O enters their line of fire...
[20:50] Takeru
    Damn it, no time for second guessing!
[20:54] Takeru
    Lieutenant Hayase!
[20:55] Takeru
    I'm volunteering to be a diversion.
[20:56] Takeru
    I'll keep them busy while
    the rest of you go for the kill!
[20:59] Meiya
    Is this your idea of assuaging your guilt?!
[21:02] Akane
    It won't work! In this kind of melee,
     you'd be cut off!
[21:05] Hayase
    You sure about this? Even if they pin you down,
    I have to prioritize the Laser-Class.
[21:10] Takeru
    I'll be okay. You wanted better performance
    than during training, right?
[21:15] Hayase
    Sic 'em, Shirogane!
[21:16] Takeru
    Roger that!
