SIGN    Imperial Japanese Navy Operational Flagship  Heavy Cruiser • Mogami
[00:05] Ozawa
    XO, I think I may have a plan.
[00:08] Ozawa
    We'll have the 2nd Squadron,
    currently standing by, enter Mano Bay,
[00:12] Ozawa
    in order to temporarily
    secure the escape route.
[00:16] Yuuko
    That would put the 2nd Squadron
    directly in the line of enemy fire.
[00:19] Yuuko
    It'd turn into a shootout.
[00:21] Ozawa
    Luckily, modern battleships are equipped with
    anti-Laser-Class systems and heavy-duty armor,
[00:25] Ozawa
    along with automated
    communication via data link.
[00:28] Ozawa
    They won't go down without a real fight.
[00:31] Ozawa
    If we don't do something,
[00:32] Ozawa
    the fleet moving in to retrieve Whiskey
    will be completely exposed.
[00:34] Ozawa
    If I'm right, this is a chance
    to kill two birds with one stone
[00:36] Ozawa
    by saving a lot of soldiers,
[00:38] Ozawa
    along with humanity's
    greatest hope, the 00-Unit.
SIGN    Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet  2nd Squadron Flagship • Shinano
[00:43] Ozawa
    And those are the details of the plan.
[00:46] Ozawa
    Abe-kun, you're free to raise some real hell.
[00:49] Abe
    Yes, sir! Consider it done!
SIGN    Aboard • CIC  Commanding Officer  Abe Tomohiko
[00:51] Yuuko
    This is Kouzuki, with the UN Forces.
[00:53] Abe
    I consider it an honor to have been
    selected for this duty, ma'am.
[00:57] Yuuko
    You'll need to hold out
    for at least twenty minutes
[00:59] Yuuko
    in order to allow for the unit to withdraw.
[01:03] Yuuko
    I realize this is asking a lot, but...
[01:05] Abe
    XO, it's nothing of the sort.
[01:07] Abe
    The thought of getting to
    open up directly on these bastards
[01:11] Abe
    is a reward in and of itself.
[01:13] Abe
    They once said that aerial warfare
    had made vessels like this obsolete,
[01:17] Abe
    and now we'll be blasting away at
    the Laser-Class who made aircraft obsolete?
[01:21] Abe
    What could be better?
[01:23] Yuuko
    As soon as we've confirmed the unit is aboard,
[01:25] Yuuko
    Plan G will shift into Phase 3,
    so commence your withdrawal at that point.
[01:30] Abe
    Understood, ma'am.
[01:32] Abe
    One other thing, XO...
[01:34] Yuuko
    Yes?
[01:35] Abe
    Thank you so much.
[01:38] Abe
    As a Japanese citizen and a father,
[01:42] Abe
    I feel the need to offer you my gratitude.
[01:46] Abe
    When the new weapon opened fire, that was
    nothing less than the light of hope itself!
[01:59] Abe
    The Empire... no, 
    humanity does have a future.
[02:03] Abe
    When I saw the hive collapsed and smoking,
    I felt sure of that for the first time.
[02:12] Abe
    I swear that we will ensure that the
    main computer is successfully retrieved!
SIGN    Escape
[03:52] Troops
    Fall back to Old Minagawa.
    Where's our fire support?
[03:55] Troops
    Damn it, my ammo...
[03:57] Troops
    We can't keep falling back!
[04:01] Troops
    Where the hell is that artillery?!
[04:04] Troops
    Commander, I think we're...
[04:06] Comms
    23rd Armored Division has been wiped out.
[04:12] Troops
    Stop! Somebody help!
[04:15] Troops
    I'll kill the damn BETA myself!
[04:34] Troops
    We gotta go!
SIGN    Sadogashima  Mano Bay
SIGN    20km Out from Mano Bay
[04:47] Abe
    Our Combined Fleet 2nd Squadron
    will now enter Mano Bay.
[04:52] Abe
    Our objective is to eradicate the BETA,
[04:53] Abe
    and support the Imperial and
    UN Forces in their withdrawal!
[04:56] Ship Broadcast (Female)
    Now entering Mano Bay.
    All crew to battle stations.
[04:59] Ship Broadcast (Female)
    I repeat, now entering Mano Bay...
[05:00] Abe
    Course is set for 0-4-5.
[05:02] Abe
    All ships advance at full speed!
    Prepare to attack!
[05:11] Isumi
    I want B-Flight and C-Flight
    moving out in one minute.
[05:14] Isumi
    Your job will be securing
    Shirogane's escape route to Mano Bay.
[05:17] Munakata/Hayase
    Roger that.
[05:18] Isumi
    I want close to radio silence once you're
    in motion. Low-power comms only.
[05:22] Munakata/Hayase
    Roger.
[05:24] Sakura
    Roger...
[05:25] Takeru
    Sorry, guys. Go on ahead without me.
[05:28] Mikoto
    Don't be dumb! We're going to make sure
    you've got a way out, Takeru.
[05:32] Tama
    We'll make sure to clear a path!
[05:34] Ayamine
    Is the package you're carrying heavy?
[05:37] Takeru
    You could say that.
[05:38] Chizuru
    Mitsurugi, you're watching Shirogane's back.
[05:41] Chizuru
    Make sure he gets where he's going.
[05:42] Meiya
    Understood. Godspeed, everyone.
[05:45] Hayase
    It's almost time...
[05:46] Hayase
    B-Flight and C-Flight, prepare to move out!
[05:48] B/C Flights
    Roger!
[05:50] Operator
    Maintain the defensive line through
    Old Kanemaru-Takeda-Miyakawa.
SIGN    999th Penal Battalion
[06:28] Tsukuyomi
    You can move, yes? Then get up.
[06:31] Tsukuyomi
    And retreat!
[06:50] Komaki
    I survived... again.
[06:55] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries.
    Plan G is now in Phase 2.
[06:59] Haruka
    I repeat, we are moving into Phase 2.
[07:03] Hayase
    B-Flight,
[07:04] Hayase
    move out!
[07:06] Munakata
    C-Flight, move out!
[07:23] Hayase
    Our job is making sure Shirogane's
    unit has a path out of here!
[07:27] Hayase
    I don't want a single BETA left alive!
[07:29] C/B
    Roger!
[07:31] Isumi
    Shirogane, completing Phase 2 means you 
    and the 00-Unit touching down on the Mogami*.
[07:37] Isumi
    Get it done.
[07:38] Takeru
    Right. Take care of the Susano-O, ma'am.
[07:40] Isumi
    I plan to keep trying for as long as I can.
[07:43] Isumi
    It'd be a real shame to have to
    abandon this thing.
[07:46] Isumi
    Kashiwagi, Mitsurugi, get ready to take off.
[07:49] Mitsurugi/Kashiwagi
    Roger!
[07:51] Kashiwagi
    You make sure to look
    after Shirogane, Mitsurugi.
[07:54] Mitsurugi
    Indeed. Please, be sure to protect
    the captain and the Susano-O.
[08:02] Isumi
    Change of plans, Kashiwagi.
    I want you escorting Shirogane, too.
[08:07] Isumi
    Hayase and the others ran into*
    the enemy over by Old Kokubunji.
[08:11] Isumi
    It's looking like there were a lot more of
    them underground than we anticipated.
[08:15] Isumi
    I want you to go with them, just in case.
[08:18] Meiya
    Captain, I think it'd be wiser to have
    at least one unit remain with the Susano-O.
[08:24] Isumi
    On what grounds?
[08:26] Meiya
    Two-person elements are the foundation
    of all TSF tactical organization.
[08:29] Meiya
    Without at least a single escort,
    the Susano-O will not only be defenseless,
[08:33] Meiya
    but should you need to escape,
    you'd be isolated, unable to form an element.
[08:37] Isumi
    Sounds like all the more reason to have
    Kashiwagi watch Shirogane's back with you.
[08:43] Isumi
    Recovering the main computer of
    the XG-70 aboard Shirogane's TSF
[08:47] Isumi
    is the highest priority of Operation 21st.
[08:51] Isumi
    Which means that, as much as possible,
[08:54] Isumi
    he needs to avoid combat and
    prioritize getting out of here safely.
[08:56] Isumi
    And that means it's up to you and Kashiwagi
    to form an element and do all the fighting.
[09:02] Isumi
    Mitsurugi, for someone
    with the kind of resolve you have,
[09:05] Isumi
    giving up your life to protect
    something might be simple.
[09:11] Isumi
    But a defensive mission means that the safety
    of your target is the baseline for success.
[09:15] Isumi
    You haven't done the job properly
    unless you also keep yourself alive.
[09:20] Isumi
    Sacrificing yourself to save
    others is noble, don't get me wrong,
[09:25] Isumi
    but it's the kind of trick
    you can only do once.
[09:27] Isumi
    If you're gonna die,
    then you need to consider the timing,
[09:29] Isumi
    and make sure that you do it when
    you're going to get the biggest return.
[09:33] Isumi
    You're like a unsheathed sword, Mitsurugi.
[09:37] Isumi
    You should learn from Kashiwagi's
    example and relax a little.
[09:40] Kashiwagi
    Uh, that's weird,
[09:42] Kashiwagi
    I always thought I took
    everything super-seriously?
[09:46] Isumi
    You get what I'm saying?
[09:47] Isumi
    Kashiwagi, Mitsurugi,
    you're escorting Shirogane.
[09:51] Meiya/Kashiwagi
    Roger.
[09:53] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyrie-11.
    Take off immediately.
[09:57] Shirogane
    Valkyrie-11, copy that.
[09:58] Meiya
    Captain...
[10:00] Meiya
    Godspeed.
[10:01] Kashiwagi
    We're gonna head out early, Captain.
[10:03] Takeru
    We'll be waiting on the Mogami.
[10:05] Isumi
    Just make sure you get there. Now, go!
[10:07] Trio
    Roger!
[10:15] Operator
    Lasers incoming!
[10:21] Operator
    Twenty-seventh armor plate is damaged.
    Put those fires out!
[10:26] Shinano Operator Otsuka
    Auxiliary battery took a hit!
    But it can still fire!
[10:29] Shinano Operator Akaike
    Sixty percent of the starboard engine armor
    is at the danger threshold!
[10:33] Abe
    We're not through yet! Keep firing!
[10:38] Crew
    Get the fire extinguisher, now!
[10:40] Crew
    Get those fires out!
[10:42] Shinano Operator Otsuka
    We've got a message from the Mogami!
[10:43] Shinano Operator Otsuka
    The main computer has been
    recovered, and is en route!
[10:46] Abe
    Finally!
[10:48] Abe
    All right, let's pour every last thing
    we have into this fight, people!
[10:51] Mogami Operator Akaike
    Heavy metal cloud density
    is too high! Radar is down!
[10:54] Abe
    Use the data link for sighting!
    Have all our guns ready!
[10:58] Abe
    Fire!
[11:26] Kashiwagi
    Nineteen BETA have appeared at one o'clock!
[11:27] Meiya
    Should we go around?
[11:29] Takeru
    No time! We're going through them!
[11:31] Meiya/Kashiwagi
    Roger.
[11:32] Kashiwagi
    This is Valkyrie-7. Bandits are
    in range. Engaging offensively.
[11:36] Valkyrie Mom
    This is HQ, copy that.
    Hit-and-run tactics only.
[11:46] Takeru
    Outta the damn way!
[11:49] Sumika
    Takeru-chan?
[11:52] Takeru
    Sumika?!
[11:53] Meiya
    Takeru, something's strange!
[11:59] Kashiwagi
    The BETA...
[12:02] Takeru
    What is this?
[12:17] Ayamine
    The BETA... stopped?
[12:20] Chizuru
    What's going on?
[12:22] Shinano Operator Otsuka
    Commander! The BETA have stopped moving.
[12:25] Shinano Operator Otsuka
    Their attack has stopped, too!
[12:26] Abe
    What?!
[12:31] Isumi
    XO, I've got access to the program.
[12:34] Yuuko
    Excellent work! How's it look?
[12:36] Isumi
    I've managed to secure control authority.
[12:39] Isumi
    Currently waiting for the autopilot and
    self-destruct programs to boot up.
[12:48] Isumi
    It cut out again!
[12:50] Pyatkh
    XO! A battalion-sized BETA herd
    has appeared in Area S!
[12:54] Pyatkh
    They're headed...
    for where the XG-07 crashed!
[13:00] Haruka
    XO! The BETA forces that were engaging
    the 2nd Squadron in Area SW...
[13:04] Haruka
    They're moving south!
[13:06] Isumi
    XO, the software has frozen
    and isn't responding.
[13:10] Yuuko
    What the hell is going on?
[13:12] Yuuko
    There are BETA in Area S
    that are headed your way!
[13:15] Yuuko
    We're out of time!
[13:16] Yuuko
    Cancel that attempt on the auto-pilot,
[13:18] Yuuko
    and focus on prepping to blow the Susano-O.
[13:21] Isumi
    Roger!
[13:22] Yuuko
    The BETA in the vicinity of Mano Bay
    are heading south for some reason, too.
[13:25] Yuuko
    If that route gets cut off,
[13:26] Yuuko
    the only way out will be to try
    and fly straight to the mainland!
[13:29] Yuuko
    Shirogane, why aren't you going faster?!
[13:36] Takeru
    More and more BETA
    keep appearing along the route!
[13:39] Yuuko
    There's been a sudden surge
    in BETA activity all across the island.
[13:43] Yuuko
    And the BETA near Mano Bay
    are moving southward.
[13:46] Yuuko
    You need to move fast before
    those Laser-Class pin you down!
[13:50] Takeru
    Hang on... The enemies in Area S
    are headed for the Susano-O!
[13:54] Yuuko
    Isumi's moved onto
    prepping it for detonation.
[13:57] Kashiwagi
    But with numbers like these...
SIGN    Laser Fire Warning
[14:02] Takeru
    Laser-Class?!
[14:06] Takeru
    Damn it! Too many of them!
[14:08] Takeru
    The auto-evade's...
[14:11] Takeru
    Cancel auto-evasion mode!
    Give me manual control!
[14:21] Meiya
    Takeru! Don't over-extend!
[14:24] Kashiwagi
    I don't think we've got time
    to take it easy, you guys.
[14:28] Takeru
    Kashiwagi... you...
[14:30] Meiya
    You were hit?
[14:32] Kashiwagi
    Hey, don't worry about me!
    Besides, the 2nd Squadron's still under fire!
[14:35] Kashiwagi
    Hurry!
[14:40] Takeru
    Kashiwagi, what're you doing?!
[14:42] Meiya
    Her unit's damaged...
[14:44] Kashiwagi
    Shirogane, Mitsurugi...
[14:46] Kashiwagi
    Hate to do this,
    but you've gotta go on ahead.
[14:48] Takeru
    What the hell are you saying?
    If you're that badly damaged—
[14:50] Meiya
    Takeru, I'm heading back.
[14:52] Meiya
    Focus on your escape.
[14:54] Kashiwagi
    No, Mitsurugi! You have to protect him!
[15:00] Takeru
    Where the hell do you think
    you're going, damn it?!
[15:03] Kashiwagi
    I'm going to back the captain up.
[15:05] Meiya
    What?!
[15:06] Kashiwagi
    Even if I went with you guys,
[15:08] Kashiwagi
    I wouldn't make it to the Mogami 
    with my TSF in this shape.
[15:10] Kashiwagi
    Not with my propellant leaking.
    I'd just be in the way.
[15:14] Meiya
    Kashiwagi, I'll carry you in my unit!
[15:17] Kashiwagi
    The mission takes priority, Mitsurugi!
[15:19] Kashiwagi
    I've got seniority, and that's an order!
[15:24] Kashiwagi
    Your job is protecting Shirogane, remember?
[15:28] Meiya
    But...
[15:29] Kashiwagi
    You saw before, right?
[15:31] Kashiwagi
    How that hive crumbled when
     the Susano-O Mark II shot at it.
[15:36] Kashiwagi
    What the XO said
[15:38] Kashiwagi
    about the number of people dying in combat
    being cut down to less than 1/100th...
[15:41] Kashiwagi
    I think that, once the kinks get worked out
    of the Susano-O Mark II, she might be right.
[15:46] Kashiwagi
    And Shirogane's carrying its main computer.
    Humanity's best hope!
[15:51] Kashiwagi
    Our job is to get it safely
    out of this combat zone.
[15:55] Kashiwagi
    When rescuing someone who's in danger
    puts the mission as a whole at risk...
[15:58] Kashiwagi
    Then you leave them behind.
[16:01] Kashiwagi
    Am I right, Shirogane?
[16:03] Takeru
    Kashiwagi!
[16:06] (Flashback) Kashiwagi
    If it's a success, though, and the
    Susano-O gets officially adopted...
[16:11] (Flashback) Kashiwagi
    Maybe my little brothers won't have to fight.
[16:18] Takeru
    Meiya, we're maintaining our course.
[16:20] Takeru
    If you go back for Kashiwagi, you won't 
    be able to reach the Mogami, either.
[16:24] Meiya
    Takeru...
[16:25] Kashiwagi
    That's our Shirogane! He gets it.
[16:29] Takeru
    Kashiwagi... Please, look after the captain.
[16:33] Kashiwagi
    Got it!
[16:34] Kashiwagi
    Mitsurugi, you said yourself the captain
    should have backup. No more arguing.
[16:39] Meiya
    Kashiwagi...
[16:40] Kashiwagi
    What's up?
[16:41] Meiya
    You must return to us.
[16:43] Meiya
    I still haven't learned how to relax
    from you in the way I need to.
[16:48] Kashiwagi
    Sure thing! I'll see you later.
[16:54] Kashiwagi
    I think I'm gonna need to learn
    from that resolve you have, Mitsurugi.
[17:02] Pyatkh
    The BETA in Area SW
    are still headed southward.
[17:05] Hasegawa
    Whiskey's collective losses are at 55%.
[17:06] Mogami Operator Suyama
    The 2nd Squadron are moving south along Mano
    Bay in order to prevent the BETA advance.
[17:08] Hasegawa
    Echo's losses are at 65%.
    They can't hold out much longer!
[17:10] Pyatkh
    Another 7,000 meters and the BETA
    in Area S will reach the A-02 crash site!
[17:14] Yuuko
    Isumi, the BETA are seven
    kilometers away from you.
[17:17] Yuuko
    You need to pick up the pace.
[17:18] Isumi
    The self-destruct program won't boot up...
[17:21] Isumi
    How's the squad doing?
[17:23] Yuuko
    Thanks to the 2nd Squadron's intervention,
[17:26] Yuuko
    Shirogane and the others should be able to
    make it out of the danger zone.
[17:29] Isumi
    Then that's why they started heading south.
[17:32] Yuuko
    Kashiwagi's jump unit took a hit, though.
[17:36] Isumi
    That girl... and right after
    I gave her some credit.
[17:38] Isumi
    She's prepping your unit as we speak.
[17:41] Isumi
    When it's time to clear out,
    it'll be the two of you in it.
[17:43] Isumi
    Wait, she came back?
[17:47] Yuuko
    Wasn't that the plan all along?
[17:50] Yuuko
    Just hurry up with that detonation.
[17:52] Isumi
    Roger that.
[17:53] Kashiwagi
    Ready to clear out when you are, Captain!
[17:56] Isumi
    What the hell are you doing back here?!
    And why didn't you say something sooner?!
[18:00] Kashiwagi
    We're supposed to be on limited comms.
[18:02] Isumi
    You're authorized for
    low-power transmissions!
[18:06] Kashiwagi
    I guess it slipped my mind?
[18:09] Isumi
    I'm gonna rake you over the coals
    once we get back!
[18:11] Kashiwagi
    Looking forward to it, ma'am!
[18:13] Isumi
    Damn it, Kashiwagi...
[18:16] Isumi
    Maybe I'm just a poor judge of character.
[18:25] Takeru
    Bastard!
[18:29] Takeru
    Meiya!
[18:31] Meiya
    You mustn't stop! Keep going!
[18:37] Mikoto
    Now, Miki-san!
[18:38] Tama
    Right! Firing!
[18:45] Takeru
    What the—
[18:47] Meiya
    Takeru, in front!
[18:53] Hayase
    What took you guys so long?
    We were getting tired of waiting!
[18:56] Takeru
    Lieutenant Hayase!
[18:57] Takeru
    Tama!
[19:00] Mikoto
    Get a move on, Takeru!
[19:01] Takeru
    Mikoto?
[19:06] Hayase
    Your escape route's been secured.
[19:08] Hayase
    Sakaki, Ayamine, lead the way!
[19:10] Chizuru/Ayamine
    Roger!
[19:13] Ayamine
    Chatting can wait.
[19:14] Chizuru
    Follow us!
[19:16] Takeru/Meiya
    Roger!
[19:20] Hayase
    What happened to Kashiwagi?
[19:22] Takeru
    She went back to support the captain.
[19:23] Sakura
    The captain...
[19:26] Munakata
    Usuki!
[19:27] Munakata
    Her orders are to escort Shirogane.
[19:29] Sakura
    Right.
[19:30] Munkata
    Good! We'll wait for Miki to clear out,
    and then we'll be right behind her!
[19:34] Squad
    Roger!
[19:35] Sakura
    Roger...
[19:43] Abe
    Don't think about conserving ammo!
    Fire everything we've got!
[19:52] Ayamine
    We'll be at the beach
    if we can clear this last stretch.
[19:54] Ayamine
    Just gotta maintain altitude.
[19:55] Takeru
    This is Valkyrie-11.
    We're nearly at the coast.
[19:58] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom, copy that.
    Maintain trajectory...
[20:02] Yuuko
    What now?!
[20:03] Haruka
    BETA have appeared
    on the southern tip of Mano Bay!
[20:05] Haruka
    In the escape route!
[20:07] Haruka
    These numbers... It's a brigade-sized herd!
[20:10] Yuuko
    Shirogane, stop, now!
[20:13] Takeru
    But we're almost there!
[20:15] Haruka
    A brigade-sized BETA herd
    is in your direct path!
[20:19] Hayase
    All units, full deceleration!
[20:24] Chizuru
    Decelerate?
[20:29] Takeru
    Get back, damn it!
[20:43] Hayase
    Damage report!
[20:44] Chizuru
    Valkyrie-8 and Valkyrie-13 are hit!
[20:46] Ayamine
    It's light. We can still move.
[20:48] Kashiwagi
    I've got a code 991!
[20:59] Pyatkh
    BETA confirmed in the vicinity of the XG-70!
[21:02] Pyatkh
    It's a brigade...
    no, this may be a corps-sized herd!
[21:05] Ozawa
    This is madness... just how many BETA
    were there inside the Sadogashima Hive?!
[21:10] Yuuko
    A delay right before
    they were in the clear...
[21:13] Haruka
    Valkyrie Mom to Valkyries!
    The BETA numbers are only increasing!
[21:18] Takeru
    Damn it!
