**[00:18] ---**
Loss of target mass
due to projectile impact confirmed.
**[00:21] ---**
Black box signals of both 2B and 9S confirmed.
**[00:24] ---**
Satellite laser weapon
entering cooldown period.
**[00:27] ---**
We still haven't received authorization
from the Council of Humanity to use the laser.
**[00:32] ---**
Was it all right?
**[00:34] ---**
Commander.
**[00:38] ---**
We have a need for a God.
**[00:41] ---**
Even if it's a non-existent one.
**[00:45] ---**
Huh?
**[00:53] ---**
That was a satellite laser weapon.
**[00:57] ---**
Commander.
**[00:58] ---**
*Report. Special unit signal
faintly detected.*
**[01:03] ---**
What?
**[01:04] ---**
It didn't die even from that attack?
**[01:07] ---**
Pod! Identify its location and—
**[01:08] ---**
*Location has already been identified.
Marked on the map.*
**[01:12] ---**
2B!
**[01:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:15] ---**
Everyone, please go rescue
the other injured units.
**[01:19] ---**
Sorry.
**[01:20] ---**
If things go well,
please get me a sample!
**[01:22] ---**
*Please be careful.*
**[01:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:26] ---**
Let's go, 2B.
**[01:27] ---**
Roger.
**[03:09] ---**
9S, don't overexert yourself.
**[03:11] ---**
I'm a bit worried about the thrust system,
but I can at least assist through hacking.
**[03:24] ---**
This is...
**[03:28] ---**
2B!
**[03:29] ---**
Over there!
**[03:43] ---**
Is it trying to regenerate?
**[03:54] ---**
I... am...
**[04:12] ---**
*Hey, Big Brother.*
**[04:15] ---**
*I'll wait.*
**[04:18] ---**
*Until you come back,
I'll wait here.*
**[04:23] ---**
*When you come back, let's play.*
**[04:25] ---**
*That's a promise, Big Brother.*
**[04:32] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:33] ---**
That's a promise.
**[04:37] ---**
Machine lifeforms... no hearts...
**[04:48] ---**
9S.
**[04:50] ---**
Finally.
**[04:52] ---**
It's all over.
**[05:16] ---**
Thank you, 9...
**[05:20] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:28] ---**
9S!
**[05:32] ---**
I really screwed up.
**[05:35] ---**
I must have been corrupted when
I detached myself from Adam's network.
**[05:49] ---**
No.
**[05:51] ---**
It's okay. I can always reload
my backup data from the Bunker.
**[05:57] ---**
But, in doing so,
we'll lose your current self.
**[06:03] ---**
Guess so.
**[06:07] ---**
But we can't upload
corrupted data to the Bunker, so...
**[06:15] ---**
9S.
**[06:22] ---**
Please, 2B. I...
**[06:29] ---**
Could you please...
**[07:06] ---**
2B.
**[07:09] ---**
Hurry.
**[07:59] ---**
Why does...
**[08:03] ---**
it always... end like this?
**[08:28] ---**
There's still some alive?
**[08:43] ---**
Damn...
**[08:44] ---**
machines!
**[08:52] ---**
Are these transmissions?
**[08:55] ---**
The data transmissions...
They're resonating with each other.
**[09:34] ---**
W-Wait a second, 2B!
**[09:36] ---**
You're...
**[09:38] ---**
Looks like I left personal data
in the machine lifeform side.
**[09:42] ---**
Next thing I knew, my sense of self
was regenerated over the surrounding network.
**[09:47] ---**
Having multiple selves fuse together like this
is a pretty valuable experience.
**[09:50] ---**
I wanted to record it, but I couldn't access
my storage areas yet.
**[09:54] ---**
So I just multiplexed it over the memories
of some nearby enemies,
**[09:58] ---**
- and that's when I returned to my own—
- 9S.
**[10:02] ---**
I'm so glad.
**[10:06] ---**
Yeah.
**[10:18] ---**
*And so, the final battle
with Adam and Eve came to an end.*
**[10:24] ---**
*This battle will likely have a great effect
on the outcome of the war.*
**[10:28] ---**
*The battle continues
a while longer for 2B and I.*
**[10:34] ---**
*But that's another story.*
***SIGN*** 2 HOURS BEFORE THE FIGHT AGAINST ADAM
**[12:46] ---**
*Request by Pod 153.*
**[12:48] ---**
*Authorization to initialize spare chassis*
**[12:51] ---**
*stored in the Bunker during
the data overhaul support of 9S,*
**[12:54] ---**
*which this unit is the assistance follower of.*
**[12:58] ---**
*Authorization confirmed.*
**[13:16] ---**
*Proposal.
Engage memory core diagnostics.*
**[13:19] ---**
Fine, fine.
**[13:20] ---**
*A single reply
is sufficient for acknowledgment.*
**[13:22] ---**
Fine.
**[13:33] ---**
*Memory area diagnostics complete.
No issues detected.*
**[13:36] ---**
*Further diagnostics advised.*
**[13:38] ---**
Fine.
**[13:58] ---**
*Visual sensor diagnostics complete.
No issues detected. All checks complete.*
**[14:06] ---**
I'm finally done checking everything,
including the physical body.
**[14:10] ---**
Don't you think it's overkill
to perform a full data overhaul?
**[14:13] ---**
*Unit 9S was seized
by the enemy and placed*
**[14:16] ---**
*in a non-controlled state
for an extended period of time.*
**[14:19] ---**
*There is a high probability
of infiltration of an enemy logic virus.*
**[14:23] ---**
All right. I get it.
**[14:27] ---**
Anyway, I just gotta sync up
with the Bunker server and then I'm done?
**[14:41] ---**
Huh? What was that?
**[14:43] ---**
*Unknown.*
**[14:44] ---**
Halt the data sync.
**[14:45] ---**
*Alert. Data synchronization
is mandatory for all YoRHa units.*
**[14:50] ---**
But we just got some kind of weird noise.
**[14:52] ---**
Halt the data sync for 2B for now as well.
**[14:56] ---**
*Affirmative.*
**[14:57] ---**
Just to be sure, let's figure out
where that noise came from.
**[15:01] ---**
Open a port to the server.
**[15:03] ---**
*Affirmative.*
**[15:26] ---**
No time to examine everything.
**[15:29] ---**
Better stick to packets
with very few views.
**[15:34] ---**
That one.
**[15:50] ---**
*Detected. Access log
to Council of Humanity's lunar server.*
**[15:55] ---**
These look like records
for supplies shipped to the moon.
**[15:59] ---**
But how strange.
There were a ton of empty containers.
**[16:03] ---**
Why would they do something
so meaningless?
**[16:09] ---**
*Alert. We are not authorized
to further access this data.*
**[16:13] ---**
That said, there's just
too much strange data here.
**[16:16] ---**
I need to check these out too.
**[16:21] ---**
An attack barrier?
**[16:25] ---**
Why the hell would they
install these within this server?
**[16:31] ---**
Pod!
**[16:32] ---**
Close the server connection!
Reactivate my body!
**[16:35] ---**
Pod! Answer me!
**[16:38] ---**
Damn it!
**[16:45] ---**
Crap!
**[16:46] ---**
*9S.*
**[16:47] ---**
Pod! What's going on?
Hurry up and close the server—
**[16:50] ---**
*9S.*
**[16:52] ---**
Pod?
**[16:58] ---**
Is this a new port?
**[17:04] ---**
*YoRHa unit 9S.*
**[17:06] ---**
- Who's there?
*- Welcome.*
**[17:08] ---**
*What? M-My body can't move.*
**[17:12] ---**
*Is this a new type of defensive program?*
**[17:14] ---**
*We are perpetually monitoring the androids.*
**[17:19] ---**
*Monitoring?*
**[17:21] ---**
*At times, as a form of violence.*
**[17:24] ---**
*At times, as a form of hatred.*
**[17:27] ---**
*At times, as a form of mad love.*
**[17:30] ---**
*Various stimulations.*
**[17:32] ---**
*We provided diverse trains of thought,
colorful array of logic, to machine lifeforms.*
**[17:38] ---**
*And we continued to monitor
how androids would deal with them.*
**[17:44] ---**
*Can these be a self-reliant virus?*
**[17:47] ---**
*But this is inside the Bunker's server.
That can't be.*
**[17:51] ---**
*But it's all over now.*
**[17:56] ---**
Wait!
**[17:57] ---**
I still haven't...
**[18:04] ---**
*Once again, my body...*
**[18:11] ---**
*And now, preparations are complete.*
**[18:14] ---**
*And that's why he must...*
**[18:16] ---**
*be given the fruit of truth.*
**[18:21] ---**
*The truth.*
**[18:40] ---**
That's...
**[18:50] ---**
*After a long period of battles
and adventures, the prophet spoke.*
**[18:54] ---**
My voice.
What's it doing in a place like this?
**[19:00] ---**
*O grant me the mercy of the land!
O grant me the joy of the heavens!*
**[19:03] ---**
This data looks like info about how the Council
of Humanity was formed as part of Project YoRHa.
**[19:09] ---**
Wait. Isn't that backwards?
**[19:10] ---**
*Release me from my yoke of iron!
Thus shall our souls...*
**[19:12] ---**
That means...
Can it be that the Council of Humanity...
**[19:16] ---**
*...be saved.*
**[19:19] ---**
*Forever...*
**[19:21] ---**
*and ever.*
**[19:26] ---**
*Report. During Unit 9S's
data overhaul,*
**[19:31] ---**
*an error occurred causing 420 seconds
of system downtime.*
**[19:36] ---**
It must be because of that failure.
**[19:39] ---**
My memory data's hosed
from the middle of the data diagnosis.
**[19:42] ---**
*Currently, 9S has not completed
the data sync.*
**[19:46] ---**
*A process mandatory
for all YoRHa units is unfinished.*
**[19:50] ---**
*Proposal. Immediate data sync.*
**[19:53] ---**
There still might be
some problems with the data,
**[19:56] ---**
so let's delay the sync to next time.
**[19:58] ---**
*Affirmative.*
**[20:00] ---**
*Emergency backup request from 2B.*
**[20:02] ---**
From 2B?
**[20:05] ---**
*9S.*
**[20:06] ---**
Operator? What happened?
**[20:08] ---**
*We detected large numbers of machine lifeforms
throughout the factory area where 2B is.*
**[20:14] ---**
*We received a support request from 2B
soon thereafter, but reception has been poor.*
**[20:20] ---**
All right. I'll try to gain access
from the main terminal.
**[20:24] ---**
*Understood.*
**[20:26] ---**
Let's go, Pod.
**[20:44] ---**
*Please entertain us, YoRHa unit...*
**[20:49] ---**
*No. 9.*
**[20:55] ---**
*What is it that separates
machines from androids like us?*
**[21:02] ---**
*The machines have gained emotions.
Consciousness.*
**[21:06] ---**
*The final screams they summoned
on the edge of death.*
**[21:12] ---**
*They still echo...*
**[21:17] ---**
*within me.*

We will take back the seas!
The skies! The land!
**[23:08] ---**
We will take back our world
